Battle Ever Seen.

Jem Driscoll, the English champion.
won the featherweight championship Of
the world at the National A. C. last
night by clearly ~outpointing Abe Attell
In a sensational ten-round bout before
a wildly excited crowd. Driscoll out
pointed Attell in surprisingly easy form,
the Briton using his left jab and his
marvellous ducking ability to the utter
establishment of Attell. In fact, at
times Driscol1 flashed around Attell at
such a clip hat the California cham
pion was too a~stonished to do anything
but gasp at the Engishman's quickness.
Both boys fought an extremely care
ful fight, each studying the other in
cautious manne and leaving but very
few openings for the other to take adj
vaitage of. But 1t was left-hand work
which paved the way for Driscol1.

he soon found a landing place on Attel1,
and, finding that Abe was unable to
stop these singing jabs, Jern never let
up an instant in forcing the fighting.
He was in and out like a fash, jabbing,
dancing away and then ducking the At
tell rushes with a nimbleness of foot
which bewildered the spectators. Abe
tried hard to shoot a right over In the
clinches. but every time Driscoll blocked
that wallop by quick covering up and
holding whenever Attell tried to swing
or shot up his right.

Next to the towering tally of ia to the

All through the exhibition given by
the Kruger and Tuxedo A teams the
enthusiasm was continuous. These

exhibition was by long odds the best.

morning.
The big 'uns of the league were espe-
cially anxious to keep Pulliam from
visiting st. Louis while he was in the
frame of mind which led him to talk
about cheap people" and "grasping
m%illionaires,' in referring to the fnan-
ciers behind the game.
Fulliam, it developed. was especially
anxious to be in st. Louis. One reason.
which he did not conceal. was that he
wished to call on a handsome young
woman of a well-known family who,
last summer, was almost a daily at
tendant at the Cardinals games. and
who is an old acquaintance of the
league president.

UNDER CHARGES
Claimed That He Discharged
Occupants Without Cause
and Falsified Records.

Aberdeen S. D.. Dec. 23.-Why We're
F. A. Faeset j. {. Horner. DR.. N. A.
Smith and Mr. Culberson discharged
from the state soldiers home of which
Colonel j. p. Geddes, Of EI.ron. is COM
tnandant?
That is the question which it is pro-
posed to determine by Granville Jones,
former candidate for state senator from
remington county, now editor of the
Aberdeen Democrat and practicins at
torneE at Chamberlain. MIR. Jones has
written letter to Governor Nessey in
which he makes serious allegations
against the commandant. charging that
the reason for the discharge of these
men is that they gave testimony con-
cernlng the conditions in the nome that
offended the commandant. and that
the latter was guilty OF falsifying the
records of the men, or some of them,
in stating the reasons for their dis
charge.
Through his letter to the governor
and through his paper. Jones demands
that an investigation be taken up at
once in order that the matter may not
be dragged into politics. and that the
discharges be torn up and the men re-
tnstated. since it has been shown that
they did not appear voluntarily before
the board to offer testimony in regard
to conditions in the home but were
summoned by Colonel Geddes for that
purpose. Mr.. Jones also suggests in
forcible language that the interests Of
the home will be served through the
characterizes as man of Eighty tenn
per, vindictive and revengeful. and not
fitted for the work in which he is en-
gagged
