A rich New Yorker, whose identity
could not be a~scertained today, is said
to be SO srnitten with the form that
Jim Savage has been displaying Of
late, that he has asked the Orange
boxer TO cancel all his American en-
gagements with a view to visiting Eu-
rope.
Jim has given the matter due at
tention and has decided to accept the
invitation and will sail for Europe
April %. Jim's first match will prob
ably be with "Bombardier'' Wells.
In order to accept the invitation to
30 to Europe Jim was obliged to sever
his connections with George Monroe,
who had made a match for Jim with
Al Kubiak for the 18th of this month.
Jim ought to have success, If we
Judge from the work of those who have
gone before him. Frank Moran has
gone over. If he can make good, Jim,
who beat him, should necessarily do
so.
Kid Broad, Boyo Driscoll, Benny
Kaufman and a few other pugilists
less prominent were talking last night
about Patsy Kline's injury to the
writer. Kid Broad, whose face has
been changed by the punches he re-
ceived, said that he believed that a
punch had caused Patsy's trouble. II

he put his finger up to one eye, closed
it. declaring that he could hardly see
out of the other.
Last night after the Burns-Attell

] what was the matter with his arm.
When Tommy Kilbane roughed him
in that bout. in which he suffered his
recent injuries he came down on At
tells left forearm with his knee with
Terrific force. The power of the con-
&tact wrenched the membe n
bruised It, leaving it very weak.
* Every good fighter has a good left
E1hand-in fact, needs 1t for defensive
purposes. The nature Of Attell's handi-
cap. therefore, is apparent.

has taken off seventeen pounds, and ex-
meets to get off enough more to lake
him a f1neiy-trained ~2oo-pounder by the
1opening of the season. The National
Ieague's best umpire now weighs 21s
Mounds. James had his newly-mended
:snrotector under his arm, and was
happy at the thought that he'd soon be
Elm the fray. "All my muscle soreness

Tor a tough time.
Charley Doom has to make good In
Philadelphia, Clarke Griffith in Gin

Giants they expect to win the ~pennant.
With these teams fighting like wolves

NJ The ambition OF frankie Burns and
"a Tommy Lee, his manager, Is to have
q Johnny Coulon in a long battle for
4 the bantam title. Lee had been asked
N terms to meet the champion at New

Lee, however, has not given up hopes
yet of getting Coulon to meet Burns,
and is at work arranging for a meet
ing in a fifteen -roun fight not far
from New York. In a previous meet
ing frankie was awarded the popular
decision.
