take a chance on their own drawing
powers."
Nelson telegraphed Long from Nara
vlsa, N. M., as follows: "If Welsh Is
such a strong card with me, what mon
ey will you guarantee me. Wire here."
Long's answer was as follows: "No
guarantee. Will give you 50 per cent
of the gross receipts for your end, win,
lose or draw. Also give you two
thirds interest in moving pictures, the
remaining third to go to Welsh."
The English champion's telegram
from New Orleans was straight to the
point. It follows: "Will meet Nelson
under any old terms. Go ahead and
make the match. Will want two round
trip tickets."

CUBBY HILL FIGHT
TOMORROW NIGHT
Mikas Hall in West Ham
mond to Be Scene of
Spirited Fight.
CUBBY IS JH FINE SHAPE
Malachy Hogan, the Chicago Sport
ing Writer, Will Referee
the Bout.
Probably the greatest boxing con
test that has .ever been seen in this
Princepal in West
city will be pulled off in Mika's hall,
107 One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street, I
tomorrow evening at 8:15 sharp. j
The Chicago Kecord-Herald's writer
on pugilism, Malachy Hogan, will ref
eree the main bout, which will be be
tween Jimmy Clabby, the Hammond
pugilist, and Dick Fitzpatrick of Chi
cago. One could not followthe ring career
of Jimmy Clabby of this city without
taking a great deal of pride in his per
formances. He began his athletic ca
reer as a member of the Joe Long Jun
ior baseball team of Hammond and still
plays on the team.
His successes have been almost con
tinuous since he left Hammond for
Milwaukee, where he was taken up by
the fight fans and taught the game.
Gardner Fistht the Biggest.
Probably his greatest fights were the
two he had with Jimmy Gardner. In
one, Gardner was given the decision
against the protest of the fight fans,
and in another Clabby was given a
draw with this shifty boxer.
Dick Fitzpatrick is a boxer who is
worthy of Clabby's best efforts. It is
expected that the Hammond man will
have to use his best tricks and his
hardest punches in order to put away
the Chicago fighter.
For this reason the fight tomorrow
night will be of great interest to local
fans and also to the entire pugilistic
world. It is already known that Dick
Fitzpatrick's brother has arranged for
a special train over the Lake Shore
railroad to bring the f.ght fans to
Hammond.
The management announces that the
hall will be open at 7:30 and the bouts
will begin at 8:15. Both of the pre
liminaries are good. Kid Lavin of
South Chicago will meet Jack Tlerney
of Chicago In one of the prelims, and'
Billy Sullivan, who Is well liked here,
will meet Kid Murphy.
It Is expected that all of the lights,
flickering and brightly burning, in the
pugilistic world will be in the city to
morrow night to see the big show and
it is expected that standing room will
be at a premium before the prelimi
naries begin.

Packie McFarland can no longer

ringside. He 'probably scales 138 or
140 pounds ringside.
"I don't intend to move him up into
the welter class, however. I hear that
over In England there is a lot of talk
about making the lightweight limit 135
pounds. This would suit us down to
the ground.
"This Is the real reason for the
Welsh bout falling through. Welsh is
afraid of McFarland and learned in
some way that Packie couldn't make
133 ringside and be strong. He has
kept insisting on that weight ever
since. We found there was no use In
trying to get him into a match, so we
called the deal off.
"We intend to stay here for about a
week and then expect to go east again
and take on Tommy Murphy. We have
also been offered a bout with Driscoll
and would like to take on White.
Driscoll, I believe, would be willing to
move up a few pounds in weight. Stor
ies about McFarland going to England
are not correct, for we can make as
much money over here.
"Because Packie does not want the
ringside. weight any more does not in
dicate that he Is a welter-weight. He
has been with me three years and has
only picked up two pounds In that
time. We still want the bout with Nel
son if he will make a higher weight."

Attell Fights Briton Friday
in New Work Weight,
125 at 6 o'Clock.
New York, Feb. 16. After thre
hours of wrangling yesterday after
noon Abe Attell, champion feather
weight of the world, and Jem Driscoll.
champion feather-weight of England,
were matched to meet in a ten round
contest at the National Athletic club
on Friday night. The men agreed to
weigh 125 pounds at 6 o'clock or to
forfeit $500.
Driscoll held out for 126 pounds at
6 o'clock and Attell for 124 pounds at
6 o'clock, but they were finally forced
to compromise. Attell said afterward
he did not care much what the English
man weighed, but he wanted him to
get on the scales and let the public
know his weight. Attell said he would
enter the ring under 122 pounds.
The battle will be an international
contest for the championship title, ac
cording,, to the English weights, the
first to be held in New York in many
years. Unless there is a knockout,
however, the championship will not be
decided, as the National Sporting club
does not permit its referee to give a
decision.
Although 122 pourds is the feather
weight limit in America, in England
126 pounds is the limit, and it was at
that weight that Driscoll" won his
present title.
