ABE ATTELL STALLS
WITH o. X. BROWN

NEW YORK. Jan. Knock
out" Brown won the popular verdict
over Abe Attell in the ten round wind
UP before the National Sporting Club
tonight 4 was not because OF his
superior ring powers that he did so.
He boxed the best he knew how. which
wasn't much compared to what Attell
has done and can do. but Attell didn't
try at all.
1t was case OF Able bunking the
public, Dumb" Dan and X. O. He
was terribly off form. That he could
fight he showed IN the last round. For
most of the time In the first nine he
stalled.
Atteu was SO clever that he cam
out of the fray unmarked and I'M
hurt. Browns mouth, nose and eyes
were badly damaged. At times At
tell would cut loose for a minute or
two and make Brown appear his play :
toy. He had Knockouts left sized
up in great shape. But he simply
refused to take the initiative.
In the last Ave rounds Able had
the German dead open. but never took
a chance. He looked very much like
a champion under a pull and q strong
pull at that. Maybe he Is looking for
a return match.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Harry VOL
verton to-day sprung little sensa-
ton when-he sAid-the -Atghfandefs
next season VIII have one of the best
IL not the best catching stan In the
American League. Wolverton ad-
lnitted he had deal under way
whereby the Highlanders will procure
one of the best receivers in the
league. He refused to name the club
with which he Is dickering. but said
the man he would procure is an ex-
perienced. heady player, who has won
his spurs in fast company.
Though Wolverton refused to name
the man he is angling for, 1t liz the
general belief In local baseball circles
that the new catcher who will wear
Hilltop livery next season Is either
Street. Ainsmith or Henry, OF the
Washington Nationals. IT Is known
that the Highlanders have ben dick
cring with Clark Griffith for some
time. and a big deal probably will
come to a head In a few days The
Washingtons have thvee first class
maskmen, and can we'll afford to spare
one OF them If they can strengthen
their team In some other position.
The Washingtons need a first and a
third baseman more than anything
after Jack knight Will not down
Wolverton gave out the training
schedule OF his second team yester-
day The games which the Juveniles
will be called upon to play are as
follows:
March 80. Petersburg; April ].
Richmond; April 2 and 3. Peters
burg; April 4, and 6. Norfolk; April
s, Portsmouth: April 3, Newport
News.
Wolverton said there was a pos
sibility of the Highlanders booking
one or two games with the Boston
Nationals. The Boytons will do their
training In Augusta. Ga. Last spring
the Hillmen and Rustlers had two
great battles in Augusta, one of them
going thirteen innings.
In discussing his infield and out
field, wolverton said he has two
cracks in Wilfred Osborn, the
Rochester recruit. and c. n. Cole
man, the Tacoma. third baseman.
wolverton said he heard that Osborne

last season, was among the guests
present at Wolverton's AT Home.
Chester had a consultation with his
