RialtO Gossip

the featherweight champ should come
to an understanding without further
delay. Even with the Attell- Moran
match on the prospects for a Conley-
Attell scrap at a later day are so good
that the match is nearly as good as
made. 1t surely would furnish a great
fight and pack any pavilion here
abouts, for at the distance and weights
Conley would be given a royal chance
to win from Attell and become the
holder Of two titles.
Patsy Brannigan, the great little
bantam who halls from Pttsburg,
wants to come TO Los Angeles and
fight Conley for the title. Inasmuch
as reports from ringside when Bran
nigan and Coulon fought It draw re-
Gently are to the effect that the Pitts
burg boy was entitled to the decision
by a wide margin, having whipped
Coulon to a FRAGILE and all but
knocked him out, it seems that the
Smoky city boy should be given
chance, and If he comes west he un-
doubtedly will get the match.
Big Bill Burns formerly on the An
gelic pitching staff, later sold to Wash
ington, then transferred to Chicago be-
cause of a fight he had in the national
capital and a week ago sold by Chi
in his old time form again, having
won both games that he has pitched
since joining the Reds. Burns is re-
garded as one of the best pitchers in
the majors and his work indicates that
ne is satisfied with his job now, so he
may be depended upon to win a ma
jority of the games that he twirls.
Luke Kelly, the San Pedro business
man and sportsman, left last night for
RoWardennan Park, % visit Jeffries.
Luke will remain in the north until
after the fight. When asked for an
explanation of his early departure for
the fight, Luke said that he could not
sleep for wondering if his old pal Jeff
was really as good as he had been
pictured in the press and he just could
not stay away any longer. With KEEL
ly, Hen Berry, Walter Kelly, Hector
Mackenzie and a few other good
friends with him, the final weeks of
the training period should be pleas
antly passed by the big fellow. Harry
Monyhan has been there for the last
two weeks and Jack Ripper will be
there after this week.
Little Hip the baby elephant that
is doing regular turns on the stage at
the Los Angeles theater, went out for
lark yesterday and caused no little
excitement along the Rialto for few
minutes. He got so thirsty that An
drew Andrewson, who owns the little
one, took him for a stroll up to JEFF
fries cafe and bought him a big
schooner of beer. When Andrew, etc,
led Little Hip through the cafe doors,
mob Of over 300 persons stamped in
behind and the crowd inside tried to
stampede outside. Hip was on his dig
nifty, however and noticed no one eX-
cept his keeper and strolled leisurely
down to the far end of the bar and put
his long trunk upon the bar and grunt-
ed About half a gallon of hops was
poured into the snout and in few
seconds, Hip turned around and walked
out of the place with all the dignity
of a new crowned monarch. The crowd
very naturally followed down the street
until 1t became assured that the ele-
phant was not really soused and out
on a tear. If Hip had acted in any
other than a dignifed manner, it is
probable that the stampeding ones
would have made the fine fixtures in
the cafe look like a picture of the rem
nants of a cyclone.
