national Western welterweight, goes

The sensational bouts that Gibbons

One thing is certain. the bout will be

wrapped up in it.
Billy Gibson says that the club has

TELLS A
SAD STORY OF
dope"
Says "CCCaine'' Injection
Du,led His Senses
Nothing Else.

Abe Attell before leaving for the
West yesterday appeared before the
New York State Athletic Commission
n obedience to a summons. His eI-
ause that an overdose of cocaine used
20 alleviate the pain in his bad right
hand made him groggy failed to ap-
peal to those present as a truthful ez-
PLANTATION of Abe's C showing In
his bout with Knockout Brown.
Attell denied that he had ever fixed
a fight and denied that he had ever
faxed. There was snickering all along
the line as Abe gave his testimony
about how three injections proved toe
strong for him and how his mouth was
parched and dry
The matter will probably end right
there, for nobody can prove that Abe
is not telling the truth and that hi
did not stall-that is, there may b,
one or two who can-but do not car
%. Abe is on his way now to NEE
Johnny Kilbane at San Francisco, anC
he is not fond of the notoriety he hai
gotten.

Two deals were cooked up yesterday
by Messrs. Joe McGinnity and George
L.. Solomon, of the Newark Club. BY
the deals the Tigers are richer a
catcher and poorer a pitcher. Harry
Smith, who was. on the Brooklyn
Clubs reserve list and caught a few
games last year, was purchased out
-. right from the Brooklyn Club by the
Tigers. At the same time George Boice
became the property of the Trenton
Club of the Tri-State League in ex-
change for a cash consideration.
George Heckert, who is n of the
Tri-State Leagues leading managers.
was a visitor at the local clubs head
quarters yesterday and talked over
/. several deals. He even suggested that
Joe McGinnity make Trenton a farm
for his surplus material, and he left
with the promise of h local men that
he would fall in line for n of the
embryo Bengals who fail to live up to
the standard.
Heckert was offered Sommerlot,
Carlo and Swayne, but said he could
not use any of these men. Heckert is
a hustler, and his team generally
finishes well up 10 the race. For
q, the last two years Trenton has fin
ished second. Asked why he did not
win the %pennant last year, Heckert re-
piled: because Reading was in the
race" Which is an unusually modest
way for a manager to admit that his
club was outclassed.
Catcher Smith n Tiger.
Harry Smith, the catcher bought
from Brooklyn, is a great hitter. Last
wear he had trouble with his arm, but
he says it is now as good as ever
Smith will be called on to catch alter
nately with Tom Needham. Brooklyn
used him for a time as a pinch hitter,
and he made good in this role. He dld

not have many opportunities to work,
however. with two such stars as
Bergen and Erwin to do the receiving.
The mailing of Smith took a big load
off the Iron Mans mind. He Is wor-
ried about his pitchers and catchers,
and he figures that If he gets Needham
and has Smith and McCarty he will
be fortified against accidents and
strong behind the plate.
After Bell and Schsrdt
McGinnity has his eye on some of
the Brooklyn pitchers, notably Bell and
Schardt. If he can land Bell he feels
it will be a ten strike. Pat Raglan
would look very nice in Newark livery,
but there is little chance of getting RAJ
gan until after the season opens, If at
all. Raglan finished strong and will be
given a chance to work regularly by
the Brooklyn Club at the start of the
season. Waivers, 1t is said, have been
asked on Bell, but he cannot come to
Newark, unless Joe Kelley valves on
him, such being the agreement between
Brooklyn and Toronto. AS for Schardt,
Manager Bill Dahlen will take him on
the spring training trip and If he does
not show exceptional form he will be
turned over to either Toronto or New
ark.
While they were talking deals, Mana
gers Joe McGinnity and George Heck
ert also got together and snapped
dates for exhibition games. The Tigers
will first meet Heckert's "Buckwheats'
on Saturday, April 13, at the Jersey
oanitaI on Monday, April Is. the Ben
gals will entertain the Tri-Staters at
Wiedenmayer's Park.
The Trenton players, by the way, are
known as the Tigers, and 1t will be a
case of Tigers VS.. Tigers, when the
class A leaguers and the class e
leaguers clash.
