is DRISCOLL
THE CHAMPION? =?
Sporting Men Feel That AtteII
Should Be Given
Draw

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2O-There is a
wide diversity of opinion among fight
followers to-day over the outcome Of
the Abe Attell-Jem Driscon fight last
night. While a majority Of the sport
ing writer's give Driscoll the decision,
there are many who believe that Attell
should at least be given a draw.
While it is conceded that Foxy Abe
met a man equally clever as himself,
a man who could land as fast as At
tell. duck blows as gracefully. do as
good in fighting. many of those who
witnessed last nights contest say that
the little Californian punched harder
than his opponent. even If Driscolls
footwork stood out more than did At
tells.
But to-day Driscoll is claiming the
championship that Attell held. But
with no decision in the matter. outside
of the opinion of the sporting writer's
and spectators. and the fact that the
boys weighed in at three pounds above
the featherweight limit. it is not
figured out how the Enslishman can
claim the title
Attell's friends do not concede that
the Englishman proved himself Foxy
Abes master and to the non-partisan
at the ringside it was a hard fight to
Judge The non-partisans say draw
would have been a good decision, could
one have been rendered under the law.
As to the fight itself, it was the
cleverest exhibition of boxing ever seen
in the ring. Both showed themselves
past masters of their art. There was
nothing to choose between them ex-
cept that Driscolls footwork stood out
a little more than Attelrs. but the
Californian more than overtopped this
by the hard punches he sent over on
the Englishman, causing Driscon TO
reel a couple of times. SO vicious did
Attell swing on several occasions that
the force Of his blows carried over to
tho ropes
outside IF a damaged optic both boys
to-day showedlno i'll effects from their
bout.
