"Brief Summary of WeefC
Happenings in Sportdom
SAN FRANCISCO CAL. April 30.
Hopelessly outclassed Brooklyn Tom-
my Sullvnn of St. Lonls mndo a sorry
showing tonight ngnlnst the Amoricftu
featherweight champion Abe Attolh In
the fourth round nftcr about a minute
of righting. Attell having drawn
Sullivan Into close quarters promptly
dollvered n short arm right on the
chin which sent Sullivan to tho mat.
In a dnzen condition Sullivan regained
his footing and Attell went after him
hammer and tongs. Twice more the
St. Louis man went to tho floor finally
rolling over on his back. AS he was
being counted out a policeman stepped
into tho ring and ordered the fight stop
ped.
Owing to a change tit the last mo-
ment in the articles of agrement per-
mitting Sullivan to weigh in at 12G
pounds tho referee was Intsructed to
declare all betg off.
And yet depesters who claim to know
the fistic game from A to Z say Owen
Moran of England Is a better man than
Attel. Rot! Abe wll malto the British-
er look like a plow horso If oveiMthey
tie up again. This little Sheenie is In
his own class and he can make any of
tho lightweights Gans Nelson and that
bunch go some. He Is the only feather
weight champion and that's all there
Is to It.
The. greatest sensation tho pugilistic
world has ever known over the left
was the exhibition Jem Roche and Bill
Spires put 'up the other day when
Bosher Bill won-his first fight In many
moons. Squires put his man out In
the fourth round. The fight was for
$2.50Q and a $1500 aide bet. And these
aro the men who fought Tommy Burns
who wants $30000 guaranteed him be
fore he will enter the ring with Jack
Johnson.
In spite of his continued sorry show
ing there are still many fight followers
In the" country who clihg to the be-
lief that Bill Squires may he yet moul
ded Into a good man. The well mean
ing prototype of tho Immortal Ruby
Robert is Uullt on scrapping lines all
right and when Bosher William lands
his punch It hurts. Truo Bill is pain-
fully pitifully slow but In four or
five rounds of his bout with that past
master of trickery Jack (Twin) Sulli
van Squires boxed splendidly -and
e to see- him classed among the
gained a good many friends who still
best.
Whoever heard of such baseball as
we aro having in Texas right now?
Verriy South Texas fans are to be
pitied for having to witness such bur
lesques on the national game. Twelve
to nine! Eleven to fen! That's the way
the scores run. Not one club In the
Texas league is Playing anything like
the high class article and to pick tho
winner now would be more like poking
In a barrel of rotten apples for one
which had the least number of blem
ishes. North Texas especially Is out-
doing herself In general sorriness. Dal
las Waco and Fort Worth aro putting
up about the punkest article of base-
ball in their history. The Dallas Gi-
ants started off at a great clip also
the Panthers but tho effort must have
proved too great for they are both on
the toboggan for fair especially the
Giants The only thing that keeps us
In a good humor here Is tho way Fort
Worth and Dallas fans through tho
newspapers snarl at each other.
"Poor old Dallas" pays James Lis-
ton Jr. In The Star "due for last
place' on the ticket sure." Its amus
ing how Dallas and Fort Worth bark
at each other across thq bare thirty
miles which keeps them from being
ono great city.
Tho Giants are pUthltthig every oth-
er club In tho lenguo and the Panthers
are fielding llko major leaguers but
tlrey aro both duo for a scramble in
the cellar before they got home. Let
us hope devoutly that they will with
tho assistance of tho Navigators make
South Texas go some during the next
month Houston tho greatest club for
Blumps n the loague Is duo for a dull
thud beforo Jong.
Tho race Is too young foranj-ccu-
rnte dopelng. My first choice how-
evor Austin Shroveport Dallas looks
good enough yet.
In tho Southqrn league peerless
Atlanta Is again showing her class
Tho Champs have hit a regular mid-
season clip that Jb sure to land thorn
at the top to stay. New Orleans with
their bunch of ox-major leaguers un-
doubtedly have tho best team In the
league but they can not successfully
compote with perfectly balanced
thoroughly harmonized Atlanta. Bir-
mingham my cholco for third Is prov-
ing Its class too j or rather Its lock of
class Itjilnlc I must have let favoritism
rule my dope Jn that case for tho Ba
rons aro certainly showing none of
tho championship calibre which made
them tho peerless club of 1900. Big
j HI U Bernhardt Is having his troubles
too and its dollars to dpughuuts that
Berny wishes himself book In the bos-
om of the Naps.
j Speaking of tho Naps that team of
players are certainly the goods. Larry
Lnjolc Is playing thq gamq of his life
and hit for ovor !T0Q In tho spring
series. But tho only Sox brainiest and
best Of them all aro slowly but surely
coming Into tholr own; nnd tho chanc-
es are exceedingly rosy that tho day of
Fielder Jortes and Charllo Comlsky's
triumph Is night at hand At present
the Naps aro heading the field and
their position just now is a legltlmato
one for they are playing tho game
ht. But thq Yankees The Yankees
THE YANKEES ! Watch them!
They aro going to be tho pennant Kill-
ers of the league but not tho pennant
diners as many peoplo believe.
The race Is of course already ovor
In tho National league. The teams aro
already placed as they will be at tho
close pubs Giants Pirates Phillies.
Thoro Is nothing of interest loft to
watch in the National now except the
pitching records. Matty Matthewspn
bo the critics Bay Is going to be tho
sensation again. So far Matthowson's
work has amply verified this high opin-
ion entertained in him. He seems to
have completely recovered old time
form and wo all know what that Is.
But watch Matty when ho hits the
Cubs. That will bo tho test of his
greatness. If he can hold down Frank
Chance and Johnle KHng and Johnle
Everg pitching honors aro his. As for
my part Three-fingered Brown Is good
enough for me. if ire don't lead his
Gotham rival he will at least make him
gp some'.
The St. Lrouls Browns are making the
American league rub their eyes. Just
now the Browns aro playing the best
ball in the league and St. Louis scribes
at least say they will continue In that
strain. Quen sabe? The Browns aro'
a great hunch of boys and It would
please thousands of peoplo greatly If
McAleer should cop the flag fpr once.
We will watch the work of the Browns
with intentness and hope for them a
bumper season.
poor old Hughey Jennings? His en
emies say he Is an accident he and his
Tigers and predict the cellar for last
year's champions. But we can never
tell. I gave a vfcry bad fourth to tho
Tigers In my spring dope and they
may go higher despite their very bad
start Jennings may be an accident
and all that but he is game and will
not aIlowt his team of champions to bo
relegated to the basement -without a
fight at least. Hughqy's chances for
taking the flag twice running however
are not to be spoken of. It is impos-
sible. Donovan could not equal his
marvelous record of last year with
every player on every other team lay-
ing for him any more than he could
lead the league In batting. The South-
ern boy however our pride " our"
Ty Cobb Is proylng that he Is no ac?
cident. Two home runs In one gam 3
Is pretty good eh?
Stereoscopic "Views.
"Heigho!" remarks a Houston scribe
"It seemed like old times today to see
Curly Maloney running in from the
field just to hand out a package to an
umpire."
"Let me get to him." shrilly cried
Delters when friend 3 kept him from
mauling Umpire Cameron.
"They may take away my whlstoj"
remarked Hughey Jennings "but they
cant stap my 'e-yah!"
Barnely Dreyfus wears tho smile
that won't comq off since Honus Wag-
ner decided that ho couldn't stay away
from the diamond. Also Fred Clark.
They say Texas players invariably
make good In faster company. Wo
know that don't wo? Look at Bill
Bailey and Smiling Charllo Prultt.

JTEKKEL CLUB PROVES SOME
TOO STRONG FOR ANSONITES
Guy" Baker of Anson was In town
last night and recited a most woe-
ful talc of how Merkel burled AnsPn'
jestorday at tho former place by tho
score of 20 to 2. Baker himself did
slab duty for his crowdand ho frankly
owned up to the fact that "ho got his."

game the day before was also won by
Merkel C to 2 Griffin In the box. There
seems to bo deadly war in a baseball'
sense declared between Merkel and
Anson every battle of which invariably
results successfully for tho home side;
while we at Abilene a sort of half-way

but sit with our hands folded and "sic

Owen Green captain of the local
High School club left this morning to
lend his services to the Ansonltes.
Master erry Allen Creswell eight
years of age was having leather tugs
sewed to his boots yesterday prepara
tory for going to work on his fath-
er's ranch In Callahan county as soon
as tho school hero closes. Ha Is a
bright little fellow and Is going to
spend his vacation In a way that wijl
add to his Intellect his health and his
