from previous days this week. The pro-

Attell Doesn't
Have a Scratch.

Goldfeld, Neb., Jan. 15.-Abe Attell
last night retained his title to the
featherweight championship of the
world by knocking out Freddie Weeks
in the 10th round at the Goldfield Ath-
letic CLUB. Weeks fought gamely but
never had a chance to win. His blows
lacked steam necessary to do any dam
age TO the champion, who came out of
the battle without a scratch. Eddie
Grancy of San Francisco officiated as
referee and the boys put up clean
fight in every way. Both Attell and
Weeks were well within the weight
limit of 122 pounds.
Attell opened the fighting with 4
right swing to the head and ended it
in the 10th round with a series of vi
cious swings to Weeks head and jaw,
which staggered Weeks to the ropes.
Attcll followed him with a right across
to the jaw. putting him down and out
in one minute after the 10th round
opened. Abe then picked up Weeks and
carried him to his corner 1t was a
gruelling match, but the champion
out-generalled Weeks at every point
and was never in serious danger. He
frequently poked his head into Weeks
face and smilingly took blow after blow
without a vince or a stagger. In the
third round Attcll opened Weeks left
eye, which bled throughout the rest of
the battle and worried Weeks percep-
tibly

MURPHY MAY SWAP JOE
TINKER TO CINCINNATI REDS.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Joe Tinker may not
be member of the Chicago National
League ball club next year. tinker has
been accused of doing lot of talking
against the management of the club dur
ing the last year President Murphy has
been told that the story which started
all the recent controversy over the $4,000
bonus he says he intends to give the
members of the West Side team was
given out by the shortstop.
While Murphy says these reports do not
affect Tinker's standing with him, he
does not deny that talk of trade is on.
Rumor has it that the deal is to be made
for Mowrey and Hulswitt of Cincinnati
Thinkers announcement that he would
not go on the spring training trip this
year because he was to take to the
stage for number of weeks that would
extend into the training trip time, has
not pleased the powers that be in the
club
There is no complaint about Tinker s
work at short. He played belter game
last summer that he ever played since he
Joined the team, but the argument is
made by some that he will never be any
better than ne is now and that he will
soon be going back, for he is no longer
in a class with the youngsters.

nothing had been arranged. F1tZpat-

written that he would be back in Lon

pitchers in the country during his stay
with the Boston Nationals. During the
baseball "war tines nearly every
club in the country bid for 'Pitts' SER

cal Nationals, drawing down a hand
some salary.
In 1903 rittinger was traded to the

Manager Fred Lake was much amused
yesterday to read that Presidents Comis-
pey and Murphy of the rival Chicago
clubs would give all kinds of money for
'Cy' Young's release AS the alleged Of
fers were based upon story going the
rounds in the West that the Boston
American club would put Young's release
on the market. Manager Lake denied en-
phatically that Young was in any sense
marked for release.
ut is so easy to say what YOU would
give for first-class artists" remarked
Lake. Now, we would like chance
to pay big money for Ed Walsh or Nor
decai Brown. as either Murphy or Comis-
key would for 'Cy' Young: but we know
they are not for sale The same thing
applies to Young. There is nothing to
the story
Jack Hoey called at headquarters yes
terday and expressed himself as well sat
isfied to go to ST. Paul. Young Mcmahon
the pitcher who was released to Malachi
Kittredge's Wilkesbarre club, was also a
caller. A letter was received from Pitch
er Arellanes from Santa Cruz, Cal. in
which he stated that he had put on
weight and was anxious for the season to
open.

Boston, Jan. 15.-Pres George B.
Dovey of the Boston Nationals arrived
from New York yesterday He was in
Cincinnati at the time of the settle
ment of the minor league trouble and
tional Commission and national board
of the minor leagues.
Everything was settled to the sat
iSfaction Of all concerned as far as l
could learn said Mr.. Dovey, land I
think it was good thing for the game
all round
Pres. Dovey looked over the plans
Manager Frank Bowerman had mapped
out for strengthening the Boston team
and felt sure that his new manager
would agreeably surprise the Boston
fans. "BOwerman is worker" said
Mr.. Dovey, land has confidence in his
own ability and that will count for
much"
There are a number of deals that
the local team will try to pull off. The
Dahlen matter is closed as far as
Brooklyn is concerned, as Pres. Eb-
belts refused to offer player of stand
ing in trade for the man he seemed so
anxious to get for playing manager for
his club.
Pres. Dewey was enthusiastic over the
plans he saw in Pittsburg of the new
plant the Pittsburg club has made ar
engagements to build. ''The new
grounds" he said, twill be in the heart
of the city. with the finest pavilion in
the country, for Barney Dreyfus is
bound to outshine the new plant at
Philadelphia"
Then with a smile he added: "Per-
haps some Gay we may show them
something in Boston in the way of a
ball park that will hold both Phla-
delphia and Pittsburg.''
With a pennant winner the present
grounds would hardly hold the matinee
crowds. not to speak of the Saturday
and holiday throngs.
Speaking of Joe Kelley, Mr. Dovey
said: II went down to Baltimore and
had very pleasant meeting with him.
and it didn't take long for us to come
together. We settled the business in a
satisfactory way. Joe Kelley will now
root hard for the boys at the South End
