T
IT. HERE was a rumor about Town
today to the effect that the
Olympic Club was going to dis
hand. One of the officers of the club,
though, declared that disbanding was
not on the clubs program. I'VE in
tend TO hold our bouts on Monday
nights hereafter said his man.
1t w understood hat the manage
ment will stage bouts only between
top-notchers hereafter. Already plans
are under way to bring Leach Cross
and Battling Hurley together.
Tho Orange Y. NJ. c. a. is getting
ready to bring out all the young fell
lows who expect to make a showing in
the coming wrestling tournament.
Some lively competition is expected.
Orange has The champion heavyweight
amateur champion in the person of
Billy Leiner, who intends to try Ito
hold the title. Besides his wrestling
work Leiller keeps in shape by play
ing basketball. AL Mccall, who expects
10 move shortly TO Washington, has
been energetic in getting wrestling
talent out.
There has been q sudden awakening
among East Orange policemen in the
athletic line the past few days because
of the coming civil service tests for
men desiring to join the department.
The present chancemen, all of whom
mast take the tests, are in the main
young fellows and they are expected
to make record tests. The men expect
TO get into shape within the next few
y days. Alex. Taggart Is looked upen as
one who will get 100 per cent. in all
physical tests.
Reports from the west today say
that Ban johnson is going to Cuba to
look over the island from a baseball
standpoint. Is the car thirsting for
more power? The baseball teams that
defeated Johnson's Tigers and .Ath-
letics, however. are not all Cubans.
These great Cuban teams are made up
largely of States" negroes, SO Johnson
can't corner the market. Ed Lamar
has had those things tied up for a
long time.
The night that Knockout Brown
meets Ad Wolgast at the American
Club, in Philadelphia, February 8,

the fourth time. Patsy may not do
so we'll with the champion in six rounds
as he did in ten at the National Club.
Booze to be barred from bali parks,
That's one good Job. The attendance
of the fair sex at ball games will be
safer from bad language and bolster
BUSINESS when the 'rowdies'' cannot get
anything to drink. The more women
attend games the higher the standing.
Now that Packey Mcfarland has
weighed in at 1884, pounds, strong
enough to knockout Jack Goodman in
five rounds, AID Wolgast had better
get busy preparing his excuses and
demands that will enable him to side
step Packey. Getting down to 1856
pounds at 3 o'clock weakened Goodman.
Jack should do we'll among the well
ters. Last nights bout eliminates
Goodman from and ~elevates Mcfarland
among the lightweights.
To the Sporting Editor Of the Evening Star;
Witl all said and wri ten on the
rece' fight between Abe Attell and
Pa Kline ono finds but few ex-
pre- IONS o. the part of experts to the
EFFECT that Attell, acting the part of a
possum, held himself in check. 1t
seems a surprise anyone should claim
he was under wraps after witnessing
the bout.
Attell, to my mind, did his level best
against the Newarker, and it seems
5 quite evident he is gradually becoming
less formidable as a heavy hitter. OF
course real action did not beg n till
a ffop the Affh rnnnd both hn1yu rVotnor
through the feeling out process, but as
Kline closely pressed tie champion it
became evident the little Hebrew was
not taking any chances and fought as
best he knew how.
In the seventh round Attell showed
he was in a bad condition. 1t came
after Kline had connected with his
left, and in order to thwart him in his
apparent intention OF following up At
tell in a neutral corner started to dance
and feint at Patsy. More han once
he had to use clever foot work to get
away from the swings, but his science
was successful in fooling Kline.
Patsy Kline would probably beat
-Attell in a longer fight If he adopted
similar methods rsed last Friday n ght.
Foxy enough to keep his eyes covered
at all times when boring in to escape
the wicked Jab of Attell, Kline fore
stalled the effort of Abe to blind him.
and in a long mill unless he tired he
would surely "get" Attell.
AN ORANGE SPORT.
