arena in Australia, where the bout can be arranged with a really good can- didate for Johnson as the other man in the ring. Then think the match should be brought here. with Johnson as the opponent for Jeffries in some Nevada site. There can be no doubt about the money that can be raised in Nevada. The purse will be of suf- ficient size to gratify anyone. Then will come the real test.
 Any number of Nevada mining camps would like to see the bout. and are willing to hang up big sum as an inducement for the men to come there. In fact. 1t Is easily possible that the largest purse ever shown in the world can be raised by matching Johnson with Jeffries for bout in the mining state.
 Sam Fitzpatrick seems to believe that he has found first-class heavy weight in Bill Lang. of Australia. He intends to bring him to this country and see what he can do.
 AS Tommy Burns had no trouble in the Antipodes, 1t Is hard to see just lot of easy money can be picked up in bouts with Al Kubiak and other boys who are trying to get into the front rank. and there may be some good, rough mixing that will justify the crowd in paying its money to See the go. But as a championship possi- bility I cannot see where Lang cuts in.

In Chicago last week, I had an in terview with the Atlas of the baseball world says a St. Louis writer. Atlas, If you will remember, was gentle man of the golden age of job holding up the heavens. to keep them from falling down and ending things below. Garry Hermann has many times kept the heavens from falling on the erring baseball world.
 The difference between Atlas Herr mann and the Atlas of legend Is that the latter did his little hold-up stunt because he couldn't Induce anybody else to accept the office, while Garry does his act because he likes it. And to be sure 1t seems that right now there Is no other man capable of fill ing this arduous position. The base ball heavens have a habit of going Into convulsions and between the war ring of rival leagues, playing the peacemaker and the acting as adjuster of quarrels takes man of calmness. impartiality, good humor, patience. ac- there is any other virtue omitted, 1t requires that, too. On all the political horizon of baseball there is not an- other man who seems to have the necessary makeup for keeping the two leagues in leash, without letting them get into a fight.
 And imagine the scare this jolly young -old Solomon threw into the mag mates ana 1anS when II was dnTOunCeQ recently that this keystone of the great arch was about to resign from his job as head of the National Baseball Com mission! And imagine the relief of those interested when he almost inn mediately denied the rumor.
 ambleJ up to Garry under the wing of John E. Bruce, secretary of the Ma tional Commission, at one of the big Chicago caraYansaries. Garry was in the Pompeian room, otherwise known as the pump" room, and I had nice, quiet interview with him, only about 300 officials, owners. players and hangers-on about the outskirts of baseballdom being present. It was the occasion of that memorable storm wrecked love feast of last week and shiver to think of the money impor- tance 1t has assumed. The profits of winning clubs are large and the con- versation opened with platitude
 Have a drink?" inquired Garry. and Immediately the attention of the faith ful 300 was enlisted. It never flagged until hree-quarters of an hour later the interview closed with another question::
 Have a drink?" concluded Garry. And the interview came to a satisfac- tory close.
 Not. however. until I had been given glimpse of the big. broad, capable man who beneath the normal hospi- tality of his demeanor, hides the judge, the captain of industry and the sol dier of baseball progress and purity. For Herman has brought to the game

CLASS TO DRISCOLL
LITTLE ENGLISHMAN SHOWS THAT
 HE HAS THE GOODS.
Nade Abe Attell Go Hard in SIX Round Engagement, Fought Out in New York Re-
 gently.

Jim Driscoll proved that he is one of the classiest little boxers sent to these shores by the British in many long day when he had the better Of Abe Attell in their ten-round bout at New York last Friday evening. While no verdict could be handed down by Referee Charles White. all those present agree that Driscoll would have had the decision If such thing had been possible, writes Malachy Hogan in The Chicago Record Herald.
 Driscoll seems to have held the lead from the outset. One or two rounds, reported blow for blow by experts at the ringside, showed that Ateell might have a slight lead on points at that stage, but not on actual edge in the game. For the first time in his his tory Attell knew what it was to re- ceive as many stinging jolts as he sent in.
 Moreover, Attell received bad eye early In the game. and this seems to have bothered him. Driscoll put up a marvellous display of boxing and his blocking and footwork are said to have been extraordinary. lie also showed speed to a high degree, but what the Eastern critics are particu- larly enthusiastic over was his ability to land with both hands He had none of the narrow, suited style followed by so many of his countrymen.
 It seems that this was one of the best bouts pulled off in New York since the days of the Horton law and the aristocratic precincts of the National Athletic Club, where the ushers wear dress suits and the club has opera chairs Instead of the usual seats. while the ring has red plush ropes' was crowded to the utmost.
 Packie Mcfarland has at last an- nounced that he can no longer make the 133-pound limit. Harry Gilmore, Jr, came through with the admission early In the week, as soon as he ar, rived from the Pacific coast, and stated that the Chicago boy could no longer scale at the lightweight limit ring side.
 McFarland denies that he has any in tention of sldestepping Hyland, and the latter may get his reward for the dis- appointment he sustained when Paokie started East, thereby spelling their scheduled bout at Jimmy Coffroth's 8 club. by securing a go with Battling Nelson. If is now planned to put the pair on at Colma some time in March.
 Hyland has met more hard luck, tn some respects, than any man that l know He fas been unable to meet his opponents in many bouts in which he was scheduled to appear and Tn every case the reason was because his men failed to appear. Personally, have never heard Of Hyland ever calling off a bout

old days one or two men usually had 1t over the rest of the ring
 When We come to size up 1t really seems as if 1902 was the year in which the lightweight class got its present stand. This was the time when Joe Cans knocked out Frank Erne at Fort Erie in the first round and thereby won the lightweight title of the world. From that time on the division has always been center of interest for followers of the sport.
 Battling Nelson bids fair to keep up his reputation for being ready to meet all corners. He has wired to Jimmy Coffroth that he intends to accept any challenge from really good man who wants a go. It now. seems as if he would have no lack of opponents.
 That something will be stirring in the lightweight class Is certain in the that if Britt can defeat Summers he will receive a chance for the bout. The match Is to be held at the McIn- tosh arena. In case present plans go through.
 Nelson is perfectly willing to fight in Australia He Is ready to meet all corners there and has stated so to Promoter Mcintosh. The latter is now for the arena at Sydney. Australia. Britts showing against Nelson in their previous bouts Is the ground on which the new match will be made.
  of international boxing resumed once more. As have often stated in these columns. there was one period when Australia sent as great an array of knights of the padded mitt to this | country as could be found anywhere There is no need to go over their names. Everybody knows who they times to meet an Australian. whether he was in the heavyweight class or whether he sealed as bantam.
 The British boxers In the lightweight division have been doing so well that 1t seems they must be recognized as factors in the ring. The same goes for the bantams they have sent over here Drisooll have all shown high class here and 1t Is hard to see why they cannot stir up a good healthy, international rivalry In the boxing line.
 Battling Nelson has sent word to Mcintosh saying that he Is ready to meet any lightweight the Australian promoters may send against him The Battler has no immediate intention of | retiring from the ring and 1t seems as if something will be stirring in his
 Just at present 1t is impossible to avoid saying something about the the most tangled condition that 1t has seen for many years. Johnson has come out with the assertion that he is willing. to meet anyone for the ford as his opponent. Jeffries says he is still the champion. as he never was | beaten.
 This ought to result in a first lass bout if the men are brought together. but just who is to perform that feat? Purses have been offered, many of gigantic size. but there is no guaran- tee behind most of them.
 There are just two spots where think the title ought to be contested for One ls the National Sporting CslaD ct London and the other is some

E. K. LAMAR WARNED
BARBOUR COUNTY CITIZEN RE.
 CDIvES ANONYMOUS LETTER.
Mr. Lamar Only Recently Lost His Home and Barns by Fire Which
 Was Supposed to Be Incen.

Eufaula. Feb. 23.-(SpeciaL)-E. K. Lamar. prominent and influential cit- izen of the county. who resides seven miles south of the city, was served with a throat of his life which came in the form of a note which was ad- dressed to him and found under his front door yesterday morning.
 The note gave warning that unless he vacated his home and left ths neighborhood within a week. he would be killed. MT. Lamar 1t will be re. membered. lost his dwelling, corn crib and other houses together with quantity of corn, hay fodder and other effects about a month ago, which was supposed to have been the work of an incendiary and was served with a similar notice threatening his life a short time prior and Is at a loss to explain the strange proceedings.
 In an interview with his brother. who was in the city to-day. 1t waa learned that MT. Lamar will remain at his present home. running the risk of the consequences about which he does not seem to have much fear. but the effect upon his wife 1t was learned was almost unbearable and he may yet be persuaded to relinquish the prem ises on her account. A strange fea- ture of the occurrence Is that Mir. Lamar has always been regarded as peaoeable law abiding citizen who re- members to have never had any difIl- culty or misunderstanding with any one that should incite such a course What will be the outcome will be awaited with much anxiety unless Mir. Lamar can be prevailed upon to va cate. which up to this time he has de- clared he will not do.

 large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens was held last night in the Elks Hall when the matter of a proposed railroad to connect this city with Abbeville was freely discussed.
