MERlCANS who learned to like
~clean-Gving and dean-hghting
little Jem Driscoll when he was
IN New York will be glad to find that
the English papers give a somewhat
different account Of the Driscoll- Welsh
battle in Cardiff. wales. from the one
nrst oabled to this country. After the
night Referee Bettinson said: Welsh, /
admit. is Q most exasperatlng man to
light. n ] a quite sympathize with
Driscol for losing his head. Driscoll
quito outfought Welsh In the last two
rounds. and had he kept II up for
another W or three rounds. he would.
In my opinion. have certainly beaten
Welsh"
br.scoll said. "He was butting me all
the time. Look at the blow on my eye.
Is that n punch with a glover Am |
not entitled 10 10 II II he Is? I asked
the referee to stop him a dozen times.
and my seconds were appealing to him
all the time"
II was hard to believe that Welsh wal
nghting cleanly and Driscoll doing all
oflthe fouling. In this country Driscoll
wa always q remarkably clean boxer.
while Welsh had the butting habit and
used the top of his head moro effec.
lively than Battling Nelson ever did In
apY Of his battles.
Moreover. I $50 that the English
sporting writer's say Welsh fouied Dris-
COLI repeatedly by striking him over
tho, kidneys with his wrist and the heel
OF his hand when the referee was on
tho opposite side where he couldn't see
the blows land.
~oME one wants to know II Il 10
true that Abe Attell never took
the count" No. II Isn't true.

New York. March 7. 1906. II was In a
three-round bout held at Elmer's-the
famous Bill Elmer. noted as n philan-
ttropis, because he once donated to
himself tie proceeds OF the Burke-Papk
nsht tina didn't come off at Suffers
Harlem Casino. and lifted Westward
TO "a healthier cline.
Elmer at that time had a little gym
nasium at Forty-second street and
sixth avenue. Kid Mccoy was his part-
nee for a while. but Elmer was too
devious for the Kid. and Mccoy was
giad 10 get out. Elmer was running
the place himself when he matched
Atteil and Tony Bender. There was m
agreement. OF course. The bout was
to be only three rounds. as Able didn't
feel like working hard for q anal
purse.
Tony Bender was q lean. determined
ydlnss.er from Jersey. n very delib'
crate fellow with a wallop. Abe beyar

tahs. and Bender calmly waited until
he saw a hole. and shot his righ'
through to Abe's chin. Abe went IA
on his back. lie was out as cold as

The referee. after counting two oi
three. stopped and turned to talk q
Tony. After a while they pulled ABB
to~his feet and let him go on. Abe had
