HEREFORD IN WASHINGTON.
Talked With Young Britt Concern
ing Battle With Kline.

BALTIMORE, Nd. February S.-Man-
ager Al Herford spent yesterday after
noon in Washington and talked with
Young Britt the clever local bantam
weight, who is down on the cards for
fifteen-round setto with Patsy Kline next
Friday night before the Eureka Athletic
and Social Club at Germania Maennerchor
Hall There is no denying the fact and
1t is generally admitted that Manager
HEREFORD considers Britt the best local boy
that has been developed since Joe Cans
\ score or SO Of Britt's admirers also
went to Washington yesterday afternoon
but when they arrived at the training
quarters at Berwyn. Md. they found
Britt out, and he did not return until
we'll toward night. Kid Sullivan. who Is
firm believer in road work. has charge
Of Britts training. and he is giving him
plenty OF this sort of work. When Britt
did return he was surprised to see his
friends and journeyed with them to
Washington.
One of the things that tickIed Britt
much yesterday was the statement from
Manager HEREFORD that he would endeavor
to arrange a match for the winner with
Abe AtteIl. The prospect Of bout with
Willie Jones of New York is another
incentive that will make Britt work tooth
and nail Friday night to down Kline.

FEATHERWEIGHTs READY.
Cross Promises to Give Driscoll
Hard Rub in Coming Battle.

NEW YORK. February Sin what
promises to be the record go OF the box
ing season Jem Driscoll. the marvellous
little Welshman. will clash. with Leach
Cross in the ring of the Paramount Ath-
letic Club Wednesday night. The feather
weight champion of England will have to
extend himself to the limit to overcome
the rugged. hard-hitting champion of the
East Side, and the ten pounds In weight
he will have to concede to his opponent.
The battle will mark Driscoll's farewell
to America. at least for a while. He goes
to his home village to appear at boxing
benefit for the orphans Of his home town.
Annually for six years he has booked at
the benefit, and he says nothing could
make him fail to keep the appointment.
He must be home by March I.
There is much speculation over the
probable outcome of the match. The
East Sider's high-class showing against
Young Otto has won him additional ad-
mirers. who believe he will have too
much weight. strength and cleverness FOR
DriscOll. The latter, however. is conf
dent of victory, and says his recent show
ing against Mario was not up to his
standard. He says he was i'll that night
and his trainers testify to the same eff
feet All the indications point to record
house and great battle.

reason Iamy was not Immediately sus-
pended after competing at Cleveland was
that insufficient evidence withheld the
association from suspending. but since
that time important evidence has been
gathered together to suspend him If he
does not return the prizes he won at
Cleveland. Lamy will also be asked to

Blue and Gray Colts Add Another
Victory.

Yesterday morning in Ryan gymnasium
the Georgetown Props easily defeated the
Fendall Cadets in a One-sided game Of
basket ball. At the start OF the battle
the two quints seemed evenly matched,
but before Ave minutes had gone by the
Hilltoppers showed that they were in
better condition. and Immediately began
to play all around their opponents.
In the second session the play was lit
tie closer and at times quite exciting. A
little roughness crept in before this half
ended which slightly marred an otherwise
clean contest The score at the end was
"a to in favor OF the Props.
Sullivan and Graham were in the lime
light most of the time and their excellent
shooting was a big feature. Capt. Nc
Hale and Norris worked best for the
down-towners the latter being especially
clever at guarding.
