 On the fourth of next month he meets Ed Kelly in New Orleans in a twenty round bout in which Kelly hopes to get shot at the feather weight champipnshiD. On the twelfth of next month he es>to Dayton, Ohio, also an aspirant for high pugf1istic hoTf0rs. Attelf says he is willing to meet anyone in his class, provided the bout is made flpanciaily attractive. what Jimmy DriscoIl has got uR his sleeve and after that he will be, open to more dates. His wife. who is now Tn New Orleans, will accompany him on his return trip sNorfh.
 When he left Goldfeld he had just finished Fred Weeks iu a ten round match breaking away with the heavy end of a sizabie purse. The fight Tn New Orleans Is not for fixed purse: but he has a, guarantee of sl.00Q and the winner Is to get two-thirds of the gate money
 Atteil won the featherweight cham nionship five years ago In St. Louis. He says he always weighs in the vicinity of twenty-four pounds but generally fights at twenty-two. his class weight limit. He is five feet four Inches tall
 Arrangements are being made for him to meet Jimmie Walsh, the bantam weight worlds champion, In 3oldfield some time soon. at 116 pounds. Att tell says he knows he can make the weight and that 1t win not interfere with his work. for he can go 10 that weight in the high altitude of Gold- field and not miss, 1t.

Sam Solomon and Harry Kahn. and these are con sidering ways and means for pulling off the exhibition The present plan is to get the old opera house and bring one of the well known recent aspirants for the championship here to go a few rounds with the little fellow. Wheth- CT these plans will go through or no' remains to be seen.
 Some of his friends asked the lighter how he felt about being away from the ordinary works Of life and only having a few strenuous h0urs a weeh to work.
 Well" he answered. 'I have grown up that way. and stnce don't know any other I don't feel the difference you speak of. T invest most of my money against the time when I won'i be able to flghf any more, and handling this business keeps me little more busy than most people think"

ReUiUalNo Nof Boxing May Mean
 ReDision Of Queensberry Rules

The revival of boxing and the prom thence that the manly art" again has assumed has brought about with more vehemepce than ever before the de- rnand for something like revision Of the Queenshrry rules. at. last so far as the duties and privileges of ref cree are concerned
 The referees rights are plainly enough established by both rules ana custom, but patrons of boxing are fn- sisting as they never insisted before on clearer definition of the course to be taken in the enforcement Of the rules. Whether 1t be that clean break" is required py the agreement or that hitting in cIinches is permis- sible, the Albetction made to the course of the majority of referees Is that they persist in putting their hands on box CTS. talking to them and giving orders and iYfstructions
 Any one of the acts would be enough to beat a novice. but referees follow the custom. and 1t is not infrequent that a referee, after forcibly breaking boxers apart. will push one or both men back into position again. with the order to "go on" and fight.
 In q recent boxing bout at asleadinE New York club there was clamor from spectators that the referee actually was interfering with and impeding one man by using more force than was nec- essary showing back the pan who did
 not obey his orders promptly. v

Much the same demand for revision of the rules and a clearer definition of the regulation on clihches Is making It. self felt ip Australia as the result of the recent Burns-Johnson fight for the championship.
 On "Referee's Mistakes" Mr. sCorbett, writing of the championship battle, comments on--the. confusion which ex- ists in the minds of both boxers and referees as to what constitutes q clean break. He quotes several definitions His idea of clean break Is that it shall be nothing less than when the order Is given the boxer holding shall release his grip and attack again the instant both his arms are free. Con tinu1ng on the same line, he says: '"rhe boxer who is only a sparrer should not be pandered to by compelling full arms length position, or being given time to .get set before fighting may be resumed after . clineh.
 .No referee should, according to Marquis of Queensherry rules, go be- tween the cnnbatants or sunder them in anyway unless both are holding, for only then can they be clinched> If one man only holds, so much the worse for him. a4 both his opponents weap- ons are free Should referee cOnsid- CT that an arm over a shoulder appears to be holding while its owner Is punch ing with the other fist he must just lift the limb from the position without breaking the boxers apart.

lion. 11s; DomInus Aryl. IT; Frank from starting because of the certain ty that muddy going will prevail, or from disabilities.
 It Is generally admitted that Jack Atkin is handicapped completely out of the race at a distance of one mile and quarter on any kind of track with 13S pounds up. Restig0uche is said to be lame and Frank FIittner out of training. Big Chief, at 120 is considered the most formidable South ern factor. However. it has not yet been decided whether the big Pontiac 4-year-old will be a starter.
 canvass of fifty prominent horse men disclosed for the Burns the sur prising and unanimous belief that Dorante shad been thrown in at 1l4 pounds and that, barring accidents, the Forsythe horse will surely win this valuable handicap.
 If possible this weeks racing was inaugurated under worse weather and track conditions than the local sport has yet had to contend with. The card was unexpectedly varied andf att tractive, and at least 1000 racegoers braved the elements and journeyed to Emeryville to witness the decision.

sore and bleeding, Seminole. a threes time prize winner in the National Fox Hound Association trials, returned here to the home of her owner, Judge o. Floyd Hun, after having been lost in the annual trials at Crab Orchard, Ky, two months ago. The fact of the ins cident puts to shame many of the Roosevelt nature stories.
 More than two months ago Seminole an aged hound, was put in crate here and sent by express to participate in the national trials. Leading the pack in the chase, of reynard she never re- turned. Judge Huff advertised in every weekly paper in that section of Ken lucky, offering rewards tor the return of lis dog. Hope was finally aban- doned. Yesterday she stalked into the yard of her owner completely exhaust ed. She swam the Mississippi and Ar kansas rivers in her return. That a fox hound shipped by express to such a far-away point should find her way home adds to the interest. Everything 6 else but the fact that the hound was last heard of Tn the Kentucky hills chasing a fox and two months later arrived here almost dead Is left for conjecture. IL could not have been the scent that directed the return. Carrier pigeons had heretofore had the excius- i've record for such feats fin fact, and cats in fancy. The dog is the Npedi greed mother of some of the best hounds in the derby trials of the past two years.
