Whether or not he will take flying

DRISCOLL FOOLED
PUBLIC ON WEIGHT

NEW YORK. February 1S.-Jem
Driscoil sprung a surprise at his train
ing quarters yesterday. Would you be-
Iieve it that he is below weight al
ready? Well, he is. After an hour 5
fast work with the skipping rope. bag
and sparring partner the English
champion got on the scales and tipped
the beam at a fraction over l231a. He
only smiled when he saw the look Of
wonder come over the faces of the
scribes. who had been led to believe
that the Englishman was closer to $50
than 123.
Abe Atteli has felt sure all along
that the Welshman couldn't make the
notch and at his training quarters
Tuesday he was willing to wager that
Jem would be overweight and that the
$500 forfeit was as good as in his
pocket. The news that Driscoll is un-
der weight so far in advance OF the
fight will come as a shock to Broadway.
where wagering on the result is BOOM
ing.
The men who bet have been backing
