ATTELL'S INJURIES
THREATEN CAREER
Fractured Arm Will Keep
Him Out of Game
Some Time.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. a.-Grave
fears are today felt that Abe Attelrs
career as a boxer is ended for all time,
as result of the serious fractuse of his
right arm sustained in his bout here last
night with Tommy Kilbane, a CIeve-
land fighter.
Attell got his injury in the fourth
round, when the two men clinched and
fell with terrific force, Attell being un-
derneath. The latter groaned as he
struck the floor, and in great pain be-
gan calling for a doctor. A hasty ex-
animation showed that the humerus
bone of his right arm had been badly
fractured, and he was at once hurried
to'a hospital. Physicians today declare
II will be two months at least, before
he can box again, If ever.
Until the round in which Attell was
hurt Kilbane was making a good show
ing. He was given the decision on a
technicality, Attell being unable to con-
tinue.

McAleer Plans Daily Meetings as
Help to Players Next
Season.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

The first National to reach Washing
ton, preparatory to starting for the
spring training camp, is Tom Hughes,
who arrived today and commended to
renew old friendships among those he
knew best when he was playing here
under Joe Cantillon.
Hughes made a remarkable record
with the Minneapolis club. Of the Ameri-
can Association. Since the close of the
season he has divided his time between
Chicago and Milwaukee and has taken
so much rest that he believes he is in
perfect shape to commence hard work.
The climate in the American Asso-
citation suited Hughes exactly. and he
has taken on considerable extra weight,
so he appears to be in even better
health than when he did such strenuous
work in his final season here.
They say they never come back, but
/ will show them that they are mis-
taken" said Hughes this morning.
The fans will probably recall that
during my last year as a National
was troubled all the time by a weak
arm, but somehow the old wing came
around last summer and l really believe
] was better with Minneapolis than 1
ever was before in my life.
Il understand Jim McAleer is plan
ming to have myself and Walter John
son do most of the work in the bCx.
don't know how Johnson might feel
about it, but you can tell them that
Ill be there from the time the gong
rings. and Will work as often as they
ask me"
hughes will remain in Washington
about a week, when he will start for
Hot Springs. for couple OF weeks be-
fore going to Atlanta to Join the main
detachment Of Nationals.
Other Nationals are expected to re-
port here now in short order

Phil McGoVern Wins
From Monte Attell

NEW YORK. Jan. a.-A new victory,
although the hardest earned one Of his
career, stands to the credit of PhiIly
McGovern, brother of Terry, today as a
result of his shading Monte Attell last
night before the Vanderbilt A. c.
a feature of the affair was the fact
that McGovern, who aspires to the ban
tam championship, was fighting the
brother of Abe Attell, who holds that
laurel. McGovera knocked down his op-
ponent two times in the first two
rounds, but Attell recovered and It was
not until the seventh that Phil again
took the lead.

Princeton game off.

The late edition of The Times yes
terday afternoon carried the an
nouncement from Princeton that the
Tigers had decided not to schedule a
football game with Georgetown next
fall. but, instead, to allot the usual date
to Holy Cross.
The mere announcement might ap-
pear as a blow to Georgetown, but,
in my opinion, Princeton's decision
may work as a benefit to Blue and
Gray football. 1t is evident to any
one who has ever followed an eleven
that the Blue and Gray could hardly
hope ever to go through season Of
games with the Indians, Princeton,
North Carolina, Virginia and Lehigh
and emerge with anything like sat-
isfactory record.
Georgetown has, for years, sub
ordinated all other games in order to
win from Virginia. Last fall the feat
was accomplished.
While a Princeton date would be
most desirable 1t is difficult to see
where Georgetown would be the
gamer, considering everything in the
way of heavy games before the all
important contest with Virginia.

Trouble for schoolboys.

Judging by some talk heard last
night, several Of the most promising
field and track athletes at one Of the
high schools here may be forced to
forego competing in the indoor meets
this winter because Of violating the
rules laid down for their guidance dur
ing school hours.
Ever since the foolish 10y ride by
some of the schcolboys, following an in
terscholastic debate, it has been neces-
sary to draw up the lines on the boys
lot only in school but during their off
hours. Yesterday some Of the athletic
members. evidently believing they had
some particular privileges, proceeded to
kick over the traces. They were called
up by the head Of the school and told,
in no uncertain terms, that they were
suspended from representing the school,
and, as result of their actions, their
team will be greatly weakened.

New McAleer Scheme.

One of the Innovations which Jimmy
McAleer intends TO introduce in the
work Of the Nationals next season will
be daily meetings at which he expects
10 correct mistakes and make sugges-
tions for the future guidance of the
players.
In the excitement of a game instruc-
tions are often forgotten, especially
by the younger players, and it is in
order to overcome this that McAleer
had decided to hold dope sessions
The plan was first started in the
American League and the lessons learn
ed a. these meetings have played a
prominent part in the consistent sue
cess of the sage of Shibe Park.

few who have failed to come to terms

Belts to umpire.
l am told that Billy Belts has been
selected to umpire all Of the important
college games at Georgetown Field next

Belts work has always been most
satisfactory to visiting teams. the re-
suit being that he was called away
from Washington a half dozen times
last year to officiate in games on for
eign fields.
Umpiring for college teams is no easy
task, but Belts has always done the
