ATTELL AND WEEKS
SIGN FOR TWENTY
ROUND FIGHT
viii Battle at GoIdfeId Next
Thursday Night for Feather
Weight Championship

GOLDFIELD, New, Jan. ARTICLES
of agreement were signed in this city
today between Abe Attell, champion
feather weight of the world, and Fred
die Weeks to fight 90 round cham
pionship battle next Thursday evening
under the auspices of the Tex Rickard
club. Five ounce gloves and soft
surgical bandages are allowable under
the agreement. Marquis of Queens
berry rules are to govern and the men
are to break at the order of the
referee. Each of the principals and
Tex Rickard put up $500 cash as a
forfeit. The boys are to weigh in at
122 pounds ringside.
Attell realizes that the coming con-
test. in which his title Is sought, will
be one of the hardest in his fighting
career, while Weeks is confident of a
knockout. Attell will begin training
tomorrow. Weeks has been hard at
work for several days. Both men are
apparently in the pink of condition
and big battle is expected.
An effort will be made to have either
Jack Welch of San Francisco or Jim
Jeffries as referee. Probably Jeffries
will be selected, if he can make the
date. Attell wants an outsider for
referee and Weeks is willing to accept
either of the two named, as is also
the champion.

@.BLACKMAH,' SAYS
MIDDLE WEIGHT
CHAMPION
KefcheI Denies Allegation When
Sued for $4,000 for Alleged
Breach of Promise
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. IT,
Stanley Ketchel. champion middle
weight pugiIist OF the world. was ar
rested here today on a capias sworn
to by Elizabeth Houman, an IS year
old girl. who charges that he is guilty
of breach of promise, and asks dam
ages in the sum OF $4,000. Ketchel
was taken into custody by the sheriff,
and after an hour at the jail gave
bonds in the sum of $4,000 and was
released. He brands the case as one
of blackmail.
The girl says Ketchel promised to
marry her January 90, 1908, after
which he left for the west, where he
remained until the following June,
and that June 8, 1908, she went to Mil
waukee at the solicitation of the
tighter. She says their engagement
without warning or cause Ketchel
broke his promise and refused to marry
her. She alleges that she fully believed
in him and had gained the consent of
her parents to marry him.
Ketchel was arrested on his way
for conference with Willis Britt, the
San Francisco fight promoter. III. G.
Hagen and w. c. Chinnick hurried to
the Jail. where they signed the bonds
which gave back to the fighter his
liberty.
When seen in the corridor of the Jail
Ketehel said: THE whole scheme is
one of blackmail pure and simple. /

was the barrier between them in the
past.
Joe Woodman is great booster for
the Briton. He says that Driscon will
beat Attell beyond the question of a
doubt if they fight 20 rounds or over.
Driscoll beat both Moran and. Bowker
on the other side of the pond, and is
looked upon as the best little man Eng
land has produced for years.
Lercari received a wire late last night
from Freddie Welsh from Los Angeles,
asking the promoter to put him on with
somebody this month. This put another
thorn in the promoters side. for now
he is undecided as TO whether he will
accommodate Welsh or stage Langford
with Jackson and Mustain. However.
he seems 10 prefer the latter card If he
can get IT.
Welsh evidently has called off his
match with Young Corbett, which was
TO have taken place in New Orleans
this month. Tt was understood that
Welsh had signed up with the Crescent
City club and accepted its guarantee
and training expenses. Incidentally,
he complained of a felon on his hand,
but he must be all right IL he is crying
for q match here.

in the interests of his plan to bring
the wealthy sportsmen of the world to

visit England and the countries of the

ing the polo and golf players and ex-

corded him. The Burlingame colony has
given large sum to carry out the ex-
tensive tournament scheme Local ho-
tells. banks and commercial associations
have pledged vast sums to insure the

been sent out to the golf players Both
amateurs and professionals are includ-
ed. 1t is Mccreery's belief that the
polo players viii accept the invitation
to visit California next November Most
or them have expressed their desire to
come here, but have complained that
they were unable TO find a community
sufficiently large devoted to the sport.
With the assurance from the most
prominent European sportsmen that
they viii come TO the Pacific coast Nc
Creery figures that the polo players
from all parts of the world will be
eager to take advantage of the unusual
opportunity for high class sport.
The preparations at Burlingame will
be begun as soon as word is received

plans call for tournament on a bigger
scale than has ever been undertaken
