DRIscoLL THE BETTER
In Ten-round Bout With Abe Attell ii
New York Last Night.

New York, Feb. 20.-Jem Driscoll,
the English featherweight champion,
and Abe Attell of San Francisco, hold.
er of the worlds championship in that
class, met in a 10-round bout last
night at the National Athletic club
and Driscoll had a shade the better Of
the contest. They weighed In at six
o'clock, neither turning the scale at the
stipulated weight, 1873 pounds.
No decision was given by Referee
Charles White as the laws Of sthis
state do not permit decisions to be rem
dered in boxing bouts The champion
ship title was not involved in the ar
ticlas governing the match.
At the conclusion of the contest both
men were. in good condition and could
probably have gone on for many more
rounds. The experts who watched the
every move were unit in saying that
nothing short of 20 or rs round 90
cisiye superiority Of either man.
There was not much betting on the
outside. Even money was offered just
before the bout began.
It/was one of the fastest and clever
est bouts ever seen in this city. Both
men are very quick, but Attell seemed
to have more steam behind his blows.
Driscoll's left iabs were frequent and
he landed them one-two and one-two-
three fashion on Abe's face raising a
lump over AttelPs right eye in the
fifth round
At infghting the American proved
the better, sending IN some hard body
punishment which staggered the Brit
ish boxer. In the sixth round Attell
landed hard swing left on the head
which sent Driscoll staggering to the
ropes. In the seventh Attell reached
the face and stomach with telling ef-
feet, but Driscoll was willing to mix
things up and landed some hard blows
over the kidneys. A short right just
over the heart made Driscoll look
weary as he went to his corner at the
end of this round
Honors were even in the eighth with
both men looking as though they could
continue for another hour.
In the ninth and tenth rounds Dris-
coll had the advantage in the number

NORTH END SWIMS
BECAUSE OF THAW
Whitcomb Bros. Works Look Like an
Island, While Many Cellars Are
Full of Water.

A combination of the big fall Of snow
OF a few days ago with the rain of last
night has made travel in some parts
OF the city extremely uncomfortable
to-day. Pedestrians were obliged to
halt and dodge at barriers of water
and the teamsters almost needed navi-
gators licenses to perform their usual
trucking around the city.
The effects OF the thaw and rain are
felt worst in the vicinity Of Maple
avenue and its junction with North
Main street where Gunner brook has
oyerfiowed its banks. The brook, al
most dry during the summer months,
ID more than bank full with melting
snow and ia within few inches OF
the electric railroad and highway
bridges which cross it at North Main
street. The snow on the ice in Stew
ems branch has effectually blocked the
onrush Of water and in consequence
Whitcomb Brothers machine works are
completely surrounded By water. The
blacksmith shop at the Whitcomb
works is filed with water I the depth
Of two feet and there are yeral inch
es i'll the engine room. Cellars on
George street are filled with surface
water and several on Maple avenue are
navigable.
Upper Main street is in rather bet
ter condition as the workmen of the
street department have managed to
get the drains open and allow the SUR
face water ingress to the sewers. The
conditions in the business portion of
the city were not Of the best during
the early hours of the forenoon and
the electric car tracks in the vicinity
of Depot square were submerged in
water to The depth of several inches.
Every time car had occasion to pass
