JEM DRISCOLL DEFEATS ATTELL IN
TEN FURIOUS ROUNDS AT NEW YORK

Jern sent left to the mouth. 1t was
DriscolPs round.
The honors of the contest were won
by Driscoll No decision was given by
the referee, but it was the opinion of
a majority of the members that Dris-
coll was entitled to the honors.
There was not much betting on the
outcome. Even money was offered just
before the bout began. 1t was one of
the fastest and cleverest bouts ever
seen in this city. Both men are very
fast, but Attell seemed to have more
steam beind his blows
DriscolPs left jabs were frequent and
he landed them in One-two and one
two-three fashion on Abe's face, rails
ing a lump over his right eye in the
fifth round.
AT in-fghting the American proved
the better, sending in some hard body
punches that staggered the Britisher.
In the sixth round Attell landed a
hard, swinging left on the head which
sent Driscoll staggering to the ropes.
In the seventh Attell reached the face
and stopach with telling effect, but
Driscon was willing to mix things,
and landed some hard ones over the
kidneys. &

AID FAVORED TO
WIN BOTH BOUTS
SELECTED IN COMBINATION BY
SPORTS
Crack Featherweight Near-Champion
Impresses Fans as Being the Class
of His Two Battles for
Next Week

Local fight fans are beginning to
look on Ad Wolgast as a regular JACK
Atkin, and the bets being made in
combinations on the Milwaukee young
ster will put lots of coin in circulation.
Wolgast is slated to tangle with two
opponents inside of three days, and
if he gets away with both heats his
admirers will have good grounds for
Growing.
In his first bout Wolgast hooks up
with Danny Webster over the ten
round no-decision course, and this Is
looked on as so one-sided that the
sports are offering three to one on Ad.
Walter Little will be called on to face
the featherweight three days later, but
the fans are chary Of offering anything
more than even money on the outcome.
This makes combinations on WOlgast
to win both fights pay five to three, the
entire sum amounting to $S when
based on a minimum bet in the first
heat.
Little may upset the calculations Of
the wise ones for he comes here with
reputation for being there" in every
way. Boys like Jimmy Dunn and Fred
Cole, considered top notchers in their
respective homes, could not stand up
against Little's rushing tactics, and
Walter hung it on them without much
trouble.
The fans will not get much chance to
see the newcomer in action before he
enters the ring, for Little has decided
! to train in a private gymnasium. A
! dark horse always adds interest to q
| match, so if Walter does not come out
! in the open before he gets into real
action the fans will be kept guessing
right up to the last minute.
| frankie Sullivan and Walter Fisher
are attracting almost as much interest
is the main event, for their bout prom
! ises to be fast and furious from the
| opening gong until the close. Sullivan
has not experienced a setback since
he took up the glove game few months
ago, while unless Fisher breaks his
long string of victories, the San Berdoo
wonder will go right on up the line un-
| til he meets the top notchers.
! Fisher has buckled down to real Ia
Dor, and is helping out at the Wolgast
camp so as to get in the best of shape.
He is doing plenty of rough work in or
der to harden up, and if Sullivan has
anything on him in condition it will
not be Fishers fault. Boxing will be
| the big thing next week, and the pride
| of San Berdoo promises to give his
! hackers a real run for their money.
| Manager Long has been unable to
get hold of a likely pair to open the

Especial to The HERALD
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 19.-The
matinee race meet that had been
planned for Association park for Wash
ington's birthday by the San Bernar-
dino County Driving club has been

found impossible to get the track into

looks as though the reopening at Yer
non will be a joyful event for the fans.
Webster Is Confident
After Danny Webster had completed
his workout yesterday afternoon at
McCarey's pavilion, where he is pre-
pairing for his ten-round contest with
Ad Wolgast next Tuesday, he smiled
smile of satisfaction and declared
himself perfectly contented with his
training SO far.
when Wolgast comes out of the ring
next Tuesday evening he will not be in
shape to go on again for the next
thirty days. 1 never felt better in my
life, and 1 af stronger than 1 have
been before any Of my contests for the
past year. 1 will show the fans that /
am not back number and Wolgast
will learn the lesson not to be sure of
victory until the last gong has
sounded
Danny certainly looked the part for
his early road run of an hour and ten
minutes and his work in the pavilion
ring served to put him on edge, and his
appearance failed to indicate the drawn
look which usually characterized Web
ster's features when training for a
fight where weight figures. Webster is
heavier than for some months past. and
he will meet Wolgast on equal terms
in this regard
Wolgast put in some hard licks at
Doyle's camp yesterday and said he
felt in great shape for the battle next
Tuesday evening. He figures that he
will beat Danny just as easily as he
did over the longer route, but he is
not taking any chances of not being in
shape. and he will continue his train
ing right up to the day of the battle.
Wolgast is not even considering defeat.
but has made his plans for the future
as though he already had been pro-
claimed the victor over the Los Angeles
lad.
Manager McCarey yesterday com
pleted the card for Tuesday with the
exception of one four round bout. The
Pacific Athletic club has decided that
forty rounds for an evening is too long
for the patrons of the sport, and here
after only thirty-six rounds will be
scheduled, so that the whole program
will be completed by II o'clock, even if
all the bouts go to the limit.
The card is as follows:
Ad Wolgast VS.. Danny Webster, ten
rounds, catchweights.
DICK Given VS.. Frank Nelson, six
rounds, 148 pounds.
Jack Redmond VS.. Hoosier Kid, six
rounds, 134 pounds.
Johnny Hugo VS.. Young Turner. four
rounds, 126 pounds
Kid Martin VS.. Charlie Butler, four
rounds, 130 pounds.
Young Turner and Johnny Hugo are
expected to put up a great bout, as
both of the lads are possessed of con-
siderable class. The six-session con-
tests also will be hummers, judging
from the boys who have been matched
to go on.
