Soo * THESE OLD HASBEENS IN PITCHING DUEL. ° om IFFITH, JIMMY CALLAHAN. A pitching duel between the two battle-scarred veterans of the old war days | possible feature of some summer afternoon this season at Comiskey's Chicago ball patk. James J. Callahan, manager of the White Sox, received a formal challenge recently for such a combat, Clark Griffith, new manager of the Washington team, being the sender. Both these leaders of modern baseball teams fe twiriers in the day fone by, both being on the Chicago National league club and both go- ing over to Comiskey's team when the American league expanded. The pitching days of each have long since passed away, but the friendly rivalry probably will continued when they are old, gray-bearded men. Griff, in his letter, says: “You are heralded back man of baseball. Let's see if you have any nerve. you'd dare pitch a game next summer against me. off on your own grounds if you are game enough to Cal's answer to his old mate reads like this man The older you get, the crosser you are. back in the American league ten minutes before you wanted everything I'm going to try to live @ square and upright life, and I don't think it would be fair to an old man to accept a challenge to go out and pitch » game against him. Why, you were an old man on the Chicago Nationals when [ first joined the club.” TU let you pull it accept.” “You're a cross old Chicago club recently arrived home from Panama and was surprised, but not prturbed, over the statement of Mordecal Brown that he is through with baseball. than two weeks ago, but heard nothing of it until he arrived home. s a long time until the baseball season opens,” said the job at that time.” Miss Edna Zimmerman of Milwaukee step- ped on a rusty nail in the Milwaukee baseball stand last summer and as a result has started suit that she was trespassing, as the accident occurred when she ran into the grand stand from bleachers to escape a rain storm, Marty O’Toole’s announcement that his arm is as good as ever seems just a bit previous.

They are backing Kilbane de- spite the present odds of 10 to ® in favor of Attell and the almost jeertainty that these odds will drop to 10 to 6 or perhaps 2 to 1 The Kilbane followers are figur- ing partly on past performances and partly on the showing Kilbane has made in his recent fights as jcompared with the lack of show- ing by Attell in his Two years ago Attell whipped Kilbane in a 10-round fight in Ken- sas City, But Kilbane has tm- proved 100 per cent since then. And to prove it one has only to point to his showing in two battles with Joe Rivers, the tough little Mexican boy who was touted for a time as a champion. Rivers was supposed to have a steel jaw and the ring ability of Jim Corbett, Kilbane tackled bim and they fought like wild cats for 20 rounds to a draw, But that didn’t satisfy Kilbane, He toststed upon a return match and got It, Then he knocked the Mexican cold in 16 rounds, That fight demonstrated that in ad- dition to wonderful cleverness, Kil- bane carries a punch. Now as to Attell. Abe has never been a careful liver. Like Joe Gans, be is an inveterate gambler, and he has dropped several for- tunes. The strain of gambling gradually geta on a man, It finally got Gans, coupled with the heart- breaking time at Goldfield. But it was gambling, the late hours and the strain, day after day, that first started him toward consumption, In addition to this, Attell’s hands are weak. He has broken them so many times in fights that it doesn't take mech of a punch, delivered wrong, to break them again. And to cap it all, Attell basn’t fought a 20-round baitle in four years. 80 to sum up: The fans will see & strong youngster, 23 years old, in ithe best of health, a boy who takes re of himself at all times, and leombines cleverness with punching jability, pitted ggainat the craftlest j boxer im the ring today, not barring any class, but a man who is be- ginning to hit the alide after 12 jyears’ ring work. Attell knows every angie of the game, from a theoretical standpotat, but can he execute what he knows ought to be done? Kilbane backers say he can’t. No matter what the outcome of the battle, Attell will draw down | $6,500 for winning or losing, while | Kitbane will get $2,500 for his end. |eka Wee wake tenet * ~ Ca * ODD BITS OF SPORT * * RERRHKRAKRRHRHEE Brown university has started a wrestling class in which football candidates will be given special at- tention.
