ATTELL DEFEATS KLINE.
Champion Toys With Newark Boy in
Whirlwind Club Bout.

NEW YORK. March 19.--Abe Attell. the
champion featherweight fighter, last night
showed Patsy Kline of Newark how to
fight. The clever little western boxer
fairly smothered the eastern boy with
blows. and time after time stung him

The fight was the feature of the bouts at
the Whirlwind Club. Lenox avenue and
116th street. Kline had plenty Of steam in
his swings but Attell seldom was at the
end of them. Several times Kline sent
his wicked right toward Attell's face. but
Abe got out of its reach, and the occa-
sional blows that did reach Attell appar-
emily did not greatly affect him, for only
in the third round did Abe get the worst
of 1t on points
Attell was easily the better man In the
first and second rounds, but Kline rushed
at him fiercely in the third and landed
more blows than his opponent. Even in
the fourth Attell did not gain an advan-
tage. probably being content to allow

Macintosh does not seem greatly i'm

opinion it was absolute fear of defeat
that causes Jeffries to hesitate in enter

Macintosh leaves for Chicago this after

with the Australian the latter part OF
next week. The Australian expects to
remain in this country until he receives
a decisive answer from Jeffries.
Neither Jeffres nor Morris, his man.
ager, would talk yesterday regarding the
reported declarations by the former
champion that he would fight Johnson.
Manager Norris did say, however, that
there might be a chance of Jeffries meet

ONDON CLUB ANGRY
AT JACK JOHNSON

LONDON. March 19.-The report that
Jack johnson has decided not to fight
Sam Langford before the National Sport
ing Club has caused CONSERVATION among
the members of that select organization.
Manager Bettinson says that Johnson had
given him a guarantee that he would
fight Langford, and that the February
date was postponed to enable the colored
champion to fill his Australian engage
ments.
Il have received no word from john
son that ne does not intend to keep
faith with u.s." said Bettinson, land until
| hear from him 1 must assume that he
is a man of his word. LangfOrd has
already received his travelling expenses,
as the club was acting on the assumption
that johnson would surely fulfill his en-
gagement."

Washington Player Reinstated b!
the National Commission.

CINCINNATI. March 19.-The national
base ball commission yesterday announced
it's decision in the case OF three players.
Player James G. Delehanty of the
Washington Americans, who had been
placed on the ineligible list for his par
ticipation in the games against the
Logan Squares of Chicago last fall, was
reinstated. but he will have to pay $50
fine before he Is eligible to play.
Player Charles A. Fallon's application
to be declared free agent was granted
Fallon played with the Hartford Comm
club during 1908. but did not sign a con-
tract. and on this fact his application was
granted.
Player John J. Duffy of the Troy club
of the New York State League asked the
commission to declare him a free agent
for two reasons-first. that he had nom
reserve contract with the Troy club, and.
second. that the club was in arrears to
him when the season closed. The COM
mission refused his request on both prop
ositions.
