The action of the State Athletic
commission in ~suspending Abe Attell
for six months for taking and his
chief second. Danny Goodman, for a
similar period, is expected to have a
most statutory effect on professional
boxing in this state. With bills in
the legislature to abolish the commits
sion M end boxing, 1t is conceded
that fighting is on trial and that rigid
action will be necessary to preserve
it. A few more fights OF the order of
the Attell-Brown mix-up would, fight
fans declare, surely kill the game.
The case is not over, however, as
the commissioners declared that they
intended to make a thorough investi-
cation into the affairs Of the National
Sporting club where the battle took
place. Some time ago Tom O'Rourke
wrote a letter to the commission in
which he stated that he was in no
way connected with the club. Attell.
in his testimony, claimed that he
made all arrangements with O'Rourke
and that he received a settlement
through him. O'Rourke explained this
by saying that he did this to assist
Manager Doessereck.
The charge made by Danny Good
man to the effect that he had heard
Jimmy Carroll say that Commissioner
O,Neil had bet $50 on Attell was de-
MED by Carroll, who also said that he
was surprised at the poor showing
made by the featherweight and that
in his opinion he was not drugged.

G~reenvilIe, S. c. Many a fox and
scores of rabbits have fallen victims to
his skill. A. II. Wells, secretary and
treasurer Of the GreenYille ball club,
writes an interesting letter to II
Cleveland friend concerning Joe and
what he is doing in his winter va
cation. ~
jackson has developed into quite
a hunter" writes Wells. HE has
three hounds and shoots with q single
barrel gun.
Recently a veteran huntsman asloI
ed Joe why he didn't use a double
barrel gun. Joe explained he could
not shoot as well with a double-bsr-
rel gun. and that he did not care 10
kill a rabbit outright. He said e was
his game to wound the rabbit and then
run it down to keep in condition 20
circle the bases.
THE Jackson family live in q cot
tage near Brandon Mills, and Joe and
his wife make their home with them
in the winter. Joe bought the home
with part OF the none he has earn
cd playing baseball.
"Joe has a younger brother named
Jerry, who was mascot OF the Green
vile team when IL won the pennant
in 1910. Last yea he refused to g
because of a change Of managers. He
will be back in line again this season.
Jerry is a second Joe and some day
expects to be as great a ball player
as his big brother"

who for many years was bitterly OPP
posed to Ward and the others. But
in recent years Brush and Ward have
become close friends and the latter
was Brush's candidate for the National
league presidency two years &
There is, no doubt that Ward could
have purchased the New York club
at the close of the season Of 1894.
when the giants, under his leadership,
won the Temple cup. But Ward was
determined to retire from baseball to
practice law. so the New York club
was sold to Andrew Freedman and
subsequently passed into the hands OF
Brush.
The success Of Comiskey and Mack
has been remarkable and is wholly
due to their practical experience.
Whether Ward and McAleer, who are
going to make a hard fight for Bos-
tons patronage in future, can pro-
duce similar results, remains to be
seen, but it cannot be said that they
are lacking in knowledge Of baseball
tactics, 1t is worthy of note. by the
way, that while Comiskey, Mack, Ward.
