II don't intend to move him up into
the welter class. however. 7 hear that
over in England there is lot of talk
about making the lightweight limit 135
pounds. This would suit US down to
the ground.
This is the real reason for the
Welsh bout falling through. Welsh is
afraid of Mcfarland and learned in
some way that Packie couldn't make
1873 rlngside and be strong. He has
kept insisting on that weight ever
since. We found there was no use in
trying to get him into a match, so we
called the deal Off
we intend to stay here for about a
and take on Tommy Murphy. We have
also been offered a bout with Driscoll
and would like to take on White.
Driscoll, I believe, would be willing to
move up a few pounds in weight. Stor-
les about Mcfarland going to England
are not correct. for we can make as
much money over here.
Because Packie does not want the
ringside- weight any more does not in
dictate that he is a welter-weight. He
has been with me three years and has
only picked UP two pounds in that
time We still want the bout with Mel
son if he viii make a higher weight

The Chicago Record Herald's writer
on pugilism, Malachy Hogan. will ref
cree the main bout. which will be be-
tween Jimmy Clabby the Hammond
pugilist, and Dick Fitzpatrick of Chi
cago.
One could not followNthe ring career
of Jimmy Clabby Of this city without
taking a great deal of pride in his per-
formances. He began his athletic ca
reer as a member of the Joe Long Jun
Tor baseball team of Hammond and still
plays on the team.
His successes have been almost con-
tinuous since he left Hammond for
Milwaukee, where he was taken up by
the fight fans and taught the game.
Gardner Fight the Biggest.
Probably his greatest fights were the
two he had with Jimmy Gardner. In
one, Gardner was given the decision
against the protest of the fight fans,
and in another Clabby was given a
draw with this shifty boxer.
Dick Fitzpatrick is a boxer who is
worthy Of Clabby's best efforts. 1t is
have to use his best tricks and his
hardest punches in order to put away
the Chicago fighter.
For this reason the fight tomorrow
night will be of great interest to local
fans and also to the entire pugilistic
world. 1t is already known that Dick
Fitzpatricks brother has arranged for
a special train over the Lake Shore
railroad to bring the fight fans to
Hammond.
The anagement announces that the
hall will be open at 1880 and the bouts
will begin at Sis. Both of the pre-
liminaries are good. Kid LAWN of
South Chicago will meet Jack Tierney
of Chicago in one of the prelims, and
Billy Sullivan. who is well liked here,
will meet Kid Murphy.
It is expected that all of the lights,
lickering and brightly burning. in the
pugilistic world will be in the city to-
morrow night to see the big show and
it is expected that standing room will
be at a premium before the prelimi-
naries begin.

ABE AND DRISCOLL
GIVE A POUND EACH
Attell Fights Briton Friday
in New Work Weight,
125 at 6 O'clock.

New York, Feb. 16.-After three
hours of wrangling yesterday after
noon Abe Attell. champion feather
weight of the world. and Jem Driscoll.
champion feather-weight of England.
were matched TO meet in a ten round
contest at the National Athletic club
on Friday night. The men agreed to
weigh 125 pounds at o'clock or to
forfeit $500.
Driscoll held out for 126 pounds at
O'Clock and Attell for 124 pounds at
6 O'Clock, but they were finally forced
to compromise. Attell said afterward
he did not care much what the English
man weighed, but he wanted him to
get on the scales and let the public
know his weight. Attell said he would
enter the ring under 122 pounds.
The battle will be an international
contest for the championship title. ac-
cording. to the English weights, the
first to be held in New York in many
years. Unless there is knockout,
however, the championship will not be
decided. as the National Sporting club
does not permit its referee to give q
decision.
Although 122 pounds is the feather
weight limit in America, in England
126 pounds is the limit, and it was at
that weight that Driscon won his
present title.
