muscle will undoubtedly be strained if he
should stay the time limit.
The total pins which krauss rolls will
not prove of much interest as will
his physical condition and powers of en-
durance. An example of the work which
he will be called upon to do can be
CLEANED from the fact that he will swing
the big sixteen-pound ball ON an average
OF eighteen times each game, which will
make him handle over 265 pounds each
game.
Krauss will be paced until IL o'clock
by several well-known bowlers. and at
that hour he will be joined by his old
teammate. Leonard Collins. who will
continue to shoot with him up until noon
Friday. Collins and Krauss are consid-
cred the best two-man team in the city
and have figured in some of the big
matches held here. The fact that Collins
is 10 join his teammate and shoot for
twelve hours with him will prove of add
ed interest to the event. as Collins thor

BOTH PAPKE AND KELLY
SAY THEY WON FIGHT

MILWAUKEE, Wis, January l.
Neither Bill Papke nor Hugo Kelly was
satisfied with Referee Hogan's finding of
draw after they had concluded their
ten-rotnd battle Monday night. The Illi-
1ois thunderbolt as Papke Is called,
thought that he earned the decision, while
Kelly said that he had enough advantage
over his aggressive opponent to be enti-
led to the verdict.
Everybody who saw the bout agreed
hat it was one of the most fiercely

Is if Kelly had an easy victory in sight
when he scored knockdown in the first

'apke showed that his ability to absorb
enlistment and recuperate quickly had

He finished the bout with a rush. while
selly showed signs of firing. Papke' s

red that Hugo would easily avoid his

KAAUSS WILL ATTEMPT TO

A task that will prove OF great interest
in bowling circles and will probably go
down as one of the features of the season
is to be undertaken on the Palace alleys

10 bowl for twentyfour hours without any
intermission, except that which is re-

II Krauss is successful in his attempt.
not only will he have accomplished a
great feat, but will break all records held
in this country for staying upon the al

to bowl until twenty-four hours have
elapsed. which will bring the time up

ENTRIES FOR STAKE EVENTS.
Indications Are That the Record
Will Be Broken.

NEW YORK. January 1.-The early en-
tries received by the three New York
racing clubs for the spring meetings on
the Brooklyn. Sheepshead Bay and Brigh-
ton Beach tracks. give every promise OF
a record breaking total of nominations for
the sdOO,OO0 in prizes that will be closed
today. The entries from the west from
all indications will be much heavier than
ever before. due to the fact that racing in
the west IN 1908 will be even more re.
stricted in territory and in time than II
was last year. when many western horse
men were induced to make their first
venture to New York by the August meet

INSTANTANEOUS

NEW YORK, January lit is an
nounced that the Irish American Athletic
Club has decided to cease commenting on
Matthew P. Halpin's appointment as man

stated that this action was taken after a
meeting of the executives committee. at
which ii was decided that for the gen.
eral good of athletics the matter be
dropped and to stand by the original
protest It made against HaIpin.
While no more protests will be made
by the club or any of the athletes be-
longing to it. it was definitely settled
that no member of the club would COM
pete under his management.
The athletes will try for positions on
the team and those who succeed in MAX
ing it will be sent abroad at the club s
expense if Halpin is then manager Of
the team.
OF course they will compete as Ameri-

BOTH ALL READY TO
FIGHT FOR THE TITLE

SAN FRANCISCO, January 1-Abe
Attel and Owen Moran are both ready to
fight for the worlds featherweight
championship at Colma today. The ar
ticles of agreement call for 100 pounds
two hours and half before the contest.
Both will make the weight easily. The
gong will sound at 2:15 pm. The fight
will be in the open air, and James ].
Jeffries will referee.
Both are in excellent condition. In
the betting the American is the favorite
at odds that range from 10 to to 10 to
9. and nearly every fight sharp in the
country picks the champion to defeat
the Englishman. Moran is generally
and Attell is credited with being by far
the cleverer of the two. Just why
Moran is conceded to be heavier hitter
than Attell is not easily understood by
both closely. Moran has won many OF
his fights by knockouts, but Attell has
beaten much better men than Moran
ever met. and has finished them with
sleep punch"
The Englishman has been credited
with saying that he has not shown him
self at his best in this country. Whether
he has or not makes little difference, for
it is certain that the champion will
make him extend himself to the-utmost
to keep up with the pace.
James Jeffries. who will referee the
fight. has visited both the fighters and
has had thorough understanding with
them as to the styie of fisticuffs they Will
observe while clinchng and breaking.
Yesterday he spent a couple of hours with
Attell and went over the same ground
as was covered during his trip to Moran s
Monday. Attell promised ..iat he would
not hold. and tat he would break clean
when ordered to do SO. Moran has made
a promise to the same effect.
According to latest reports. both the
boys have come in nicely at the weight
in the matter of condit:on2 Neither did
any work yesterday. Both lounged about
the training quarters Early today Moran
went out to Colma to occupy a cottage
near the arena. AttelfS quarters are in
the same neighborhood. Both are conf
dent of their ability to win out.

for the followers of the game to find out
just where they stand.
Only yesterday dispatch from Gotham

declined to visit Philadelphia, as he
thought there was more money for him
in Brooklyn and New York. Hoppe, who
has just returned from Holland, was
billed to meet Albert Cutler In this city

per cent OF the gate receipts to the win

that Hoppe had not accepted the offer,
but yesterday kilograms were received

they stated that they would be on hand
on the date fixed for their contest and
ready to play for the purse and receipts.
