TOMMY SULLIVAN
AND ABE ATTELL
CLASH TONIGHT
Sullivan Is the Red Headed
Brooklyn Boy Well Known
HereabOuts.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30.-Abe At
tell and Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan
will meet for the third time in the ring
tonight at the Coliseum. They fought
a draw last September in Alton, Ills,
while four years g Sullivan is credit
ed with knocking out Attell at st.
Louis.
The Attell-Sullivan match as origi-
nally made was at 12S pounds at 8
o'clock. This weight Sullivan later
found that he could not make and do
justice to himself. He made this
known, and through an agreement with
Attell, the weight limit was raised to
126 pounds at 5 o'clock.
The weighing will be n mere formal
ity for Attell. He will be twoland pos
sibly more pounds underweight, so he
has nothing over hich to worry.
There was no change in the betting
last night, Attell still holding a 2 to 1
favorite, with some money offered at
evens tina Attell will knock out Sulli-
van inside of 10 rounds,
The preliminary will be between
Fred Landers and Johnny Frayne, two
Californit lightweights, and is sched-
uled to go fifteen rounds. Both light
weights have a large following, n it
is said there has been more money wag-
cred on his thar on the meeting of the
feather-weights.
Landers been a consistent Z to 10
public choice for several days, as 1t is
figured he has had more experience
his opponent. The betting is even
money that Frayne will stay the limit.

THE THREE MIKES
ARE DOG CASEY'S
THREE GRACES
Corcoran, O'Neil and Joyce Have
the Same Handle, Which
Casey May Forget.

When Captain Jimmy Casey shouts
from the coaching line, Come on,
Mike; slide you, Nike" there is al
ways grave responsibilities on Casey's
mind, especially if there is more than
n Mike IN bases. Jimmy Casey has
three Mikes on his team and they are
wise Michaels at that. Mike Corcoran
is one of the best infelders in the
Eastern League today, and why he has
not been snatched up by major
leagues is due to the fact that Eastern
League managers believe that they re-
quire just as good ball players in the
league as are needed in the bigger
leagues.
Mike Joyce is an outfelder who
shows class enough to go higher up in
his calling, while Mike O'Neil, the old
st. Louis twirler, and one of the ia
nous O'Neil battery, is another jewel
to any Mike has left the
box, but not the game, for his batting
ability is such that Manager Casey
got him to play the field. The three
Mikes are a strong combination, and
when Mike Corcoran was spiked the
other day and had to leave the game
it was quickly remarked: well,
Casey will miss that Mike" and surely
Casey did miss him.
IT. is said hat while playing an exhi-
bition game the three Mikes were on
the bases, and Casey vas IN the coach
ing line and not at the bat. "The bat
ter knocked a ball into the outfield, and
forgetting that three Mikes were on
the bags, Casey shouted to the Mike
on third "Come on, Mike and the
three came on and We're caught. What
a dilemma Casey will find himself in
one of these days when he shouts to
Mike Joyce to take a fly If Mike Cor
coran and Mike O'Neil go after 1t. If
Casey simply says. Take it, Mike, he
can't blame the three Mikes if they
go after it.

DEMAREST
BEATS GARDNER
At BILLIARDS
Champion Wins First Match
After COnklin Beats Pog-
genburg in Afternoon.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Calvin w.
Demarest, the young Chicago billiard
champion, Won his first game for
worlds honors last night at the Lied
erkranz Club. He defeated e. w. Gard
ner. of Passalc. The Westerner finished
his string of 400 while his opponent was
making PIG.
The tournament is at eighteen Inch
balkline, two shots in, for the cham
pionship of the world, and is being held
under the auspices of the National AS
ISOLATION OF Amateur Billiard Players.
While the playing OF both was at
times brilliant, it was as a whole only
mediocre. After the first inning the re-
suit was never in doubt. Demarest be-
gan with a cluster of AZ caroms, while
Gardeners first trial Melted him Is.
From then until the thirtieth inning,
when the American champion ran out
with an unfinished string of fourteen,
Gardeners chance of victory seemed
hopeless. The J~erseyite made more hard
and spectacular shots, but invariably
missed easy ones after executing a diff
f1cult shot. In the twenty-second inn
ing Gardner mad a masse shot which
brought forth a loud round of applause,
led by his opponent.
Demarest's playing was more consist
ent and he forged ahead until at the
twenty-eighth inning he was more than
200 in the lead. In the eleventh inning
he made his highest run of 81. His
next highest uns were so n AZ. Gard
ner's highest run was made in his last
inning when he scored 81.
In the afternoon c. r. Conklin, a club
mate of the amateur champion, defeat
ed ]. Ferdinand Poggenburg by 400 to
289. The winner averaged 40-45. His
highest run was SO. The score:
