ATTELL MAY VISIT
AUSTRALIA, TOO

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 23.-Abe
Attell. who has received several offers
of bouts, will likely go to Australia
in the near future, unless promoters
at home offer him some better induce
ments.
Jeffries has offered him a bout with
Jem Driscoll. but II is said that Attell
is none too anxious to meet the little
Briton. Instead he plans to visit Mel
bourne, where a purse has been hung
up for a go between Abe and Johnny
Sommers. The National Sporting club
Of that city is back OF the movement.
Jeffries' offer is for Attell to meet
Driscoll in the arena at Vernon for a
bout, the distance OF which can be de-
cided by the men themselves.

MURPHY WHIPS
GRIFFIN NEATLY

BOSTON, Dec. 2s.-Charley Grimm,
one OF the numerous prides Of Eng.
land. from Australia, was defeated by
Tommy Murphy. OF New York, in their
12-round fight at the Armory A. A.
The fight was free from knock
downs. although each man landed
numerous punches that appeared to
have steam enough behind them TO
move q house. At the end OF the IL
sessions OF furious battling, Grinln's
matted hair hung down over two eyes
that were swollen to the size OF new
potatoes. his nose resembled ripe
tomato. his cheeks looked like two
juicy beefsteaks that we're ready for
the gridiron. In fact, he looked for ali
the world like meal that Murphy
had attempted 10 eat up IN the IL
rounds allotted to him.
Murphy fought with his usual az
gressive style. which is familiar TO oil
members Of this club" back In his
home town. And IL was a sturdy
enough style to keep the lead over the
plucky little Australian.
