Among the Boxers

Ad Wolgast resumed his training
yesterday afternoon at Doyle's in
preparation for his ten-round contest
at McCarey's pavilion next Tuesday
evening with Frank Picato. He played
handball, punched the bags, did
shadow work and boxed three rounds
with Gene McGovern, three with Hobo
Dougherty and two with Dan Cullen.
Picato put in a busy morning hitting
the road for three-quarters of an hour
and then taking rowing exercises at
Eastlake park for twenty minutes. In
the afternoon he did his usual work
at Eastside, boxing six rounds with
Paul Roman. He weighed the same
as the day before, 1857 pounds, and by
Sunday he will be down to the figure
required in the articles.
The bout between George Hugo and
Eddie Daley has been declared off,
and it is probable that four-round
go between Henry Caresse and Jack
Gangser, boys weighing 175 pounds
apiece, will be substituted. Gagser
tried out at the pavilion yesterday
afternoon and made a good impression
with his work.
Kid Cleveland and frankie ConIey
did their usual work, the dusky lad
going at a fast clip with Curley
O'Connell at the pavilion, and seemed
to be possessed of more OF a punch
than he has exhibited in his fights
heretofore at Maud.
Curley OConnell and Billy Cappelle
are working to get in shape for their
ten-round bout, which will be the
semi -windup TO the Flynn-Willis con-
test on New Years eve at McCarey's
pavilion Flynn did road work yester-
day in the morning, and In the after
noon he toiled in the ring at Doyle's,
boxing six rounds with Battling john
son. Willis began his thorough work
with the mitts yesterday at Eastside,
boxing five rounds with Pettis.
The regular weekly tryout of the
Pacific Athletic club yesterday was
productive of more than the usual
number of fighters who are worth a
contest. Kid McGill showed good form
and with some training ought to be
able to put up a splendid battle. Sailor
Hansen, a 142-pound lad, also gave
evidence of being there with the punch.
Jack Gangser showed well against a
boy somewhat lighter. and he will be
given a chance at the earliest oppor-
tunity, and may be given the four
round bout Tuesday.

WEIGH CALLS ATTELL-WEBSTER
BATTLE IN SAN FRANCISCO DRAW

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 17.-Mingled
cheers and Kisses greeted the signal of
Referee Jack Welch for a draw to-
night after twenty rounds of hard
fighting between Danny Webster of
Los Angeles and Monte Attel. former
bantamWeight champion of the Pa
eific coast. Many believed that Web
ster had earned a decision, as he was
aggressive all the way and in the first
round fioored Attell with a clean right
swing to the jaw.
Webster opened the fight with a
rush that carried Attell off his feet.
The Los Angeles man hit fast and
hard and he delivered his punches
from any position. He fairly smoth-
cred Attell with blows and toward
the close of the first round shot over
his right with force enough behind 1t
to send the local boy TO the mat.
Monte jumped to his feet. but was
partially dazed and had all he could
do to protect himself until the fifth
round, when he came up strong and
held his own with his shifty opponent.
Early in the fight Webster ripped the
skin under Attells eye with a wicked
left shift, and the local boy was
bothered by the blood for many rounds.

In a letter received from Secretary

CN ECRETARY WARD of the Winter
league, who has the local agency
~ for the Goldsmith baseball, drop
ped in at the Herald yesterday and
requested the writer of News of the
Diamond" to cast his optics on the
following message that he had just
received from the Goldsmith company:
1--WE will donate $100 to any chari-
table institution of Los Angeles If the
persons who are. knocking our ball
(this to be taken figuratively) in your
city can prove that our 81 league ball
does not give as good il not better sat
isfatclon than any other league pail
on the market"
This message is the result of base
ball war that has been waging for
some time in the Southern State league,
which association has adopted tho
Goldsmith brand of pill article.
That Secretary Ward came armed
with documents describing the merits
of his ball is shown by the following
letter from w. j. Lynch, manager
of the Seattle team in the Northwest
ern league, which was probably one
of a hundred that he produced:
1.-THE one and one-half dozen Gold
smith baseballs used in our post series
of fourteen games with Spokane gave
perfect satisfaction, ana we are sure
there is no better ball made, as we
had occasion to give 1t a thorough
test on both wet and dry grounds.
yours truly.
"W. J. LYNCH"
Ward is making arrangements to
open a branch store for the Goldsmith
house In this city In the near future.
The Ontario baseball team wants a
game for next Sunday.
When the Trolley league held a spe-
cial meeting last Wednesday night J..
Scott Allen was elected president and
bylaws and agreements were adopted
and signed.
Arrangements were made to have the
scores of all the league games posted
on the score boards at the different
parks where contests are in progress.
President Allen appointed Red Tay-
lor and A. Hoag the league umpires.
with these two holding the indca-
tors" said Allen, "disagreements as to
decisions in the Trolley league ought
to dwindle to merely faint whispers,
as I consider these two gentlemen
about as good umpires as are officiat-
ing around these parts"

From the fifth to the tenth. however,
he kept pace with Webster, blocking
well and landing a number of telling
jabs.
Webster again took the lead in the
tenth. The men fought desperately,
but the southern lad was faster and
shiftier, and baffed Attelrs blocking
skill by the lightning speed with
which he rained his blows He main
tanned his lead until the end although
Attell was strong ON his feet and
showed no sign of weakening when the
gong signaled the end of the fight.
The sixteenth round was Webster's $
best showing. He was always just
a little ahead of Attell, beating him to
the punch every time. He hammered
away steadily, although he took con-
siderable punishment and his speed did
not diminish. Ringside opinion gave
Webster the credit of putting up the
hardest little mans fight ever witnessed
in the local ring.
The fight was in the nature of a
benefit for Johnny Murphy, former
lightweight Murphy is now at Homo
lulu, stricken with consumption.
A fifteen-round preliminary between
Tommy Gary OF Chicago and Kid
sScaler of Seattle also resulted In a
draw.

Sunday is an exhibition of the national
