Robert Brant distinctly saw Burton

struck by a peculiar quality In Bur.

MAY RETIRE.
Abe Attell May Be Driven From
Boxing Game bY Bad Arm.

NEW YORK, May 2.-Rumors are cur
rent in boxing circles here that Abe At
tell, American featherweight champion.
may be compelled to retire from the ring.
Attell's physician says that the champion
cannot hox again for at least one year.
because of the broken bone in his left
arm, received in the recent bout with
frankie Burns. Attell is more than
tWenty-eisht years old and is said to be
rather dubious as to the future. for he
fears a return of the injury when he at
tempts to resume operations.
If Attell decides to retire. there will be
a scramble for his title. Jem Driscoll. the
English champion, might we'll lay claim
to it, but Driscoll announced recently that
he was through with the ring forever.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

The frequency with which home runs
are being made by the major league
teams this spring is most surprising
and has as vet not been accounted for.
Daring the winter months ii was said
that the ball this year was TO be live
Her than ever before, but there was
no official confirmation of this. so that
no one seems to know whether the ball
is any different now than il was for
merly.
But the hitting has been terrific in
both major leagues this spring. Bar
ring the Nationals, every team in the
two circuits has been hitting ahead Of
its natural stride and the numerous
home runs have set the fans 10 guess
ing.
In five Of the last six games the Ma
tionals have played their opponents
have made home runs. This has been
accomplished off of some very high
class pitchers. too. on the whole, the
batting this spring might be explained
by the fact that the pitchers have not
Yet rounded into their best form, but
this would hardly explain the compar-
atively enormous number OF home runs
that have been made TO date. Just
Why il Is that the Nationals have not
shown Improvement in their batting in
keeping with that of the other teams
is pulling. but il is a fact that while
the other teams are hitting ahead Of
their gait the Nationals are hitting
below their true standard.
1t would seem that Hugh Jennings has
picked up most valuable younester in
Gainor the first baseman. AS hitter
Gainor is surely holding his own. for he
is cutting just about as much Of figure
with the bat the acknowledged stars
Cobb and Crawford. While there was
some doubt for time to whether Jen-
Ming had found any one to take Tom
Jones place. neither Ness nor GainOr APP
pearing to have class enough at that time
there now does not appear To be any
doubt that the Tigers are better fortified
at first than they have been for years,
for Gainor is constantly improving and
seems sure to be fixture on the team.
II Galnor present pace is not hash
in the pan Jennings must be voted pretty
lucky TO have secured him.
Double-headers are to be plentiful this

in the two major leagues. and the chances
are that many more will be added. Just
