F. C. FRESHMEN FAST
Two Good Games of Basketball Played
at Fargo CoIIege-Score Was
One sided.

The basketball games at Fargo col
lege yesterday afternoon started off the
championship series.
The two winning teams were the
Freshman college and the sophomore
props, although the latter game did
not count in the series. as one Of the
opponents was not eligible.
The score of the freshman game
with the props freshmen and Junior
team was 80 to 0, being a regular walk
away. The baskets were frost, five,
Sincock three, Mcnamara two, H.
Haggart six.
The other game was closer and much
rougher, resulting in a victory for the
sophomore senior college men over the
sophomore senior prep bunch The
final score was IA to Is. The props were
superior in endurance and would have
tied the score in another minute of
play. The baskets were; Sophomore
college, Thayer one, Perry three,
Slingsby two, Vandebogart two; for the
props, Darrow three, Harrington two,
Sherman two
Thus far the only team with cham
pionship game to their credit is the
Freshman college team.
Referee, Coach Watkins.
The basketball record of Fargo col
.Iege is held by Harry Hendry of Haw-
ley, who shot twelve fouls in success
sion.

ATTELL HAD HARD
GO AT MEMPHIS

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. Abe AttelI.
championship featherweight fighter of
the world, was forced to extend himself
to the limit to secure a decision over
Charley White Of Chicago in an eight
round contest before the Phoenix Ath-
letic club here last night. The decision
was unpopular.
At long range White had all the bet
ter OF the fighting, landing right and
left almost at will to the champions
heady and body, but his blows seemed
to lack steam. and only once did he
stagger Atell, Abe forced the fighting
throughout the clinches furnishing
White severely with short arm jabs to
the wind and head.
White proved himself a worthy OPP
ponent Of the champion, dancing away
from his rushes and taking little pun
ishment.
Attell was the first to draw blood, a
vicious right uppercut landing flush on
lbs mouth. Not until the last round
did he draw blood from Whites nose
and mouth. The eighth round was the
fustest, both men fighting hammer and
tongs from bell to bell
1t was Attell's superior mitigating
that Referee Barry based his decision
which was hooted by many OF the
crowd.

President Comiskey evidently had
some big trades in mind, but naturally
he would not say what they were.
1t is generally known that he has
spent more than any other club owner
in organized baseball in obtaining new
material for 1910, Blackburn, the fast
shortstop, alone costing him
$500 in hard money and two other
good players, yet to be selected.

JEFF RESENTS
CURRENT REPORTS

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. THE story
OF the coming fight with Johnson being
fixed in advance is not only false, but
maliciously so, and / intend to hunt
the fellow who started it down and
give him a humping" said Jim JEFF
fries today, after reading in the papers
that there was a suspicion that the
big fellow had agreed to split up the
purse.
THAT is not right" continued the big
fellow. Il have never faxed the public,
nor am l starting now. l am sincere
when / say that / want to knock John
sons head off when we get in the ring,
and I'm going about to do that, too.
In so doing, / expect to pull down the
big end of the purse. If he's the bet
ter man the big end goes to him, but
do not like stories that were started
about us taking it,"
Referring TO Richards statement
that if the fight were pulled off in
Nevada he would likely have accom-
modations for 5000 women. "Of course
it will make no difference to me. But
/ don't believe they mean this. 1 hope
not, anyway. If women are anxious to
see this fight let them see the pictures
afterward. The fight will not be any
matinee, / promise"
Perhaps it is the thought of the dis
lance to be covered and the many
chances for a slip that's worrying the
giant Californian Perhaps he isn't sc
sure about his ability to round into the
old time form. Jeffries alone car
speak of his condition. To the casual
observer and to the medical experts
who have examined the powerful piece
of human machinery, Jeffries looks
good to fight for a kings ransom. Bu'
