NEW YORK, December Elm response
to an offer from the Fairmont A. c., in
behalf of Abe Attell, featherweight cham
pion( Packey Mcfarland. the Chicago
lightweight, has agreed to a match to be
decided here December ID. The conditions
call for ten rounds at 135 pounds. the

before ring time. Attell will therefore
give away about twelve pounds, for he
will not weight more than 124. while Nc

gong.
Mcfarland is strictly boxer, fast, ciev-

wolgast for the lightweight title. although
he reduced to 1913 pounds last May, when

be remembered, received much praise
from a majority of the English boxing
critics. who asserted that he should have
won the referees verdict. 1t is a matter
OF record that Welsh refused to make
another match, for which he was roundly

the Boston National League Club may be
''Al1 Boston men," was the word received
here yesterday, and they are going to
spend money to secure a winning team. "
Under the surface it is whispered that the
Hub syndicate which purchased the club
Yesterday is in high favor with John L
Taylor, president and owner of the Bos-
ton American League club a man now
in Taylors employ was busy organizing
syndicate to buy the Boston club year
ago, but the plan was discouraged by
Dewey, who said he wouldn't sell at any
price. Taylor is making arrangements
to build a new ball park in Boston and
it is understood that when it is finished
the Boston Nationals will share it with
the Red SoX. Under Taylors manage
ment the Boston American League Club
has earned nearly S1.00O,O00 in the last
five years. With Taylor as a friendly
adviser it is believed that the Hub syndi-
cate will develop the old Boston National
League club into mint. Working har-
moniously together the Boston clubs
therefore will control that part of the
major league domain to the exclusion of
Fletcher or any other promoter. Incident
ally Boston will be ready at any time for
a return to the twelve-club league plan,
which would mean but one club in each
city.

men. who made money rapidly in prornot-
ing the national game and finally bought
the grounds for 100000. They fought
opposition clubs in 1880 and 1891 success
fully, although it cost them fortune.
and for the next ten years they earned
big dividends The Boston triumvirs. as
they were called. became unpopular in
time and when the American League in
vaded the Hub there was a quick change
in base ball sentiment. Soden, Billings
and Conant soon found their grounds
empty and decided to sell George Dewey,
a ST Louis street railroad man. and his
brother. John. came along with an offer
that was accepted. George Dewey. who
died two years ago. frankly admitted
that he had very little money of his own,
but that friends of Barney DreyfusS'
had assisted him with the necessary
capital.
The Boston club under the Doveys has
been a complete failure. The team has
always finished last and no money has
been spent for new players of first-class
caliber. When Harris took hold of the
supposed Dovey stock recently he denied
that Dreyfuss was the real owner of the
club. and had supplied the coin TO buy
out the triumvirs. 1t was admitted, how
ever. that GOv.-elect Tener Of Penn
sylvania owned some of the stock also
Director Of Public Safety John NORM of
Pittsburg. Dreyfuss always denied the
persistent report that he really controlled
the club. but could not afford to be openly
identified with it.
When Harris bought OUT Dovey the
report was circulated that he wanted
Dreyfuss' secretary, William Locke, to
serve as the new president. 1t was also
rumored that Locke, representing a syn
dicate had offered to buy out Harris.

Attell announced a month ago that he

and he began this policy by defeating Pal

the latter probably received a proposition
which he accepted by telegraph yester-
day.

Three Could Stop Him.

Criger, New York; Bradley, Boston, and
Casey, Detroit, were the only other ones
who seemed to stop him at ALL he only
being credited with one stolen base
against each of these catchers. But, of
course, they participated in only a few
games against the Athletics. The st.
Louis backstops seemed to be the real
easy stuff for Collins, he having fifteen
stolen bases against them. Boston and
Detroit seemed the hardest for him, he
securing only nine against each of these
teams
During the season he stole eighty-one
bases Upon nineteen occasions he stole
two in one game. and twice he stole
three during single performance.
The catchers who allowed him to steal
upon him twice during game were:
Stephens, St. Louis, four times; STAN
age, Detroit; Bemis, Cleveland: Street.
Washington: Payne, Chicago. twice each,
and Carrigan and Madden, Boston; Block,
Chicago; Henry, Washington; Easterly,
Land. Smith, Cleveland, once each. He
also stole three bases in one game off
Mitchell. of New York, and three in one
game off Beckendorf and Henry, Wash
ington, combined, Henry having relieved
Beckendorf in the middle of the game.
Collins record against teams and
catcers are as follows:

Nationals Young Catcher Only One
Not to Fall Victim to Star
Stealer.
BROWNS BACKSTOPS
WERE EASY PICKING
Criger, Bradley and Casey, Too,
Were Fairly Successful Against
Connie Mack's Speed Marvel.
BY j. ED GRILLO.

One distinction which no other catcher
in the American League enjoys is held
by Eddie Ainsmith of the Nationals, who
in the several games he caught against
the Athletics last fall did not allow Eddie
Collins to steal base.
No other backstop was able to prevent
the speedy youngster who made Connie
Mack's team championship aggregation
from pilfering bases, record of which
Ainsmith may well be proud.
Catchers, no matter how brilliant they
were, had no terrors for Collins last sea-
son, for he seemed to run on all of them,
showing that he is base runner of the
highest class. Collins ability as steal
err must be attributed to the fact that
he studies a pitcher well. He seems
able to get a bigger lead than any of his
rivals and knows how to finish at the
bag when it is necessary to do so.
He showed no partially Whatsoever
in his mad career of thievery. Old and
young catchers Jared alike, Street. Sulli-
van, Bemis. Stephens and Carrigan, all
veterans, falling victims upon numerous
occasions to his terrific speed. Jimmy
Stephens of St Louis received the
hardest usage, Collins stealing no less
than eleven bases ON him. 1t seems
every time Eddie Collins started for IA
base Stephens right arm suffered from a
stroke OF paralysis. On four different oc-
casions he stole two bases in one game
on him.
