ATTELL COMING
To MAKE MATCH
McCarey Induces FeatherWeight
Champion to Take on
Moran Once More
WEIGHT YET TO BE SETTLED
Hebrew SCrapper Arrives Tomor-
row, When All the Details
viii Be Arranged

Manager McCarey practically has
closed negotiations for another cham
pionship scrap here that will be of
fmuch interest to the fans. Abe Attell
iyesterday telegraphed his acceptance
of McCarey's offer for a twenty-five
round scrap between the champion ana
owen Moran, while Manager Charlie
Harvey. acting for Moran, has done
likewise. The only disquieting or un-
certain feature of the negotiations IS
that the distance and weight have not
been actually agreed upon by the fight
ers. and these two very essential
points have kept them apart for sew
eral months.
Attell telegraphed McCarey that he
wouId leave san Francisco tonight for
Los Angeles to discuss the weight
question and arrange the other detals
of the match As Abe has not been
keeping very busy of late ana Is not
fnding the big purses he once was
drawing down, he probably VIII ilol

Terms must be made even by cham

comes to matchmaking, and seldom

sidered probable that both boys VIII

difficult for them to argue themselves
into an agreement.
In the event that they can agree
anon the conditions and terms OF the
match. McCarey will put it on at Yer
non. if over the long route ABOUT
lime o. If they agree to traVel lhe
+an-round route, it will be staged thal
night at Maud Junction. This would
ne the third time they have trled 10
fight il out both other scraps result
ing in draws, and since Morans eA- .-
ceilent and classy showing Iuesday
,lipht with frankie COnley, the Brit
jsher has become quite a drawing
card here.
Another match that is brewing and
nrobably will be closed within the next
Two or three days is that between
Frankie Conley, bantam champion ,li. oL
+hn world and Sam Keller, VINO was
introduced Tuesday night as the pan
tam champion of England. heller
lacks q heap of being the Engllsh
champion. but his excellent ring rec
ord there. with his equally great snow
ing in this country, gives MN apoul dc
much right to claim the tltle as Iol
q
Keller is under the management OF
Harvey and was brought from New
York to fight Conley. The bantam chaIhp
is anxious to tackle the Britisher ana
inasmuch as both seem willing 10 ldIk
business along business lines, McCarey
yroba blv will close negotiations Win
in a few hours. The scrap would pe
at % or 40 rounds, in all probability tIle tIle
former. Conley is a great drawing
-
made by Keller in the EnSllsh rIls
should guarantee the class of the bout
and its drawing qualities
Charlie Harvey last night announced
that owen Moran intends to try ms
luck in the lightweight DIVISION IN
future. regardless of the Outsome OF
4he scran with Abe Attel, and that
he wants a whack at the champion
shin right off the reel A formal chal-
lenge accompanied the statement, be-
ing directed at AdOlphus Wolgast, pos
SCISSOR of the lightweight crown. Har-
vey says that while Moran VIII not
weigh more than 1876 pounds Wheh at
his best fighting weight, he feels con-
hdent of his ability to whip the MIL
waukee Demon and take the cham
nionship back to England with him.
When the champion arrives here TINS
month, there will be an opportunity
for the boys to talk business and in
asmuch as Moran has whipped a lot OF
good Tghtweghts since he came to
America, his pretensions must be taken
seriously. Wolgast has agreed to
fight any good drawing card McCarey
might select for him and there is none
better than Moran when the box Office
proposition is under consideration.
Moran seems to have hankering
after champions. He has fought the
bantam and featherWeight champions
of the world and is now after the light
weight champion, although he has not
whipped any champion for titular
stake. At the same time, no cham
nion has whipped him, so the honors
must be even at least, and those who
saw the Britisher fight Tuesday night
will not deny him a chance with any
of them within eight or ten pounds of
his weight
