Is a Wonderful Fighting
Machine
Physically Perfect, With an Abund
anceof Nerve and
Skill.
OAKLAND, Nov. 21. FraKk Erne la
one of ths llpe pkee f flghtlnr ma
chinery that American pugilism baa de
veloped. When his day has passed, aa
the day of all athletes must, he will be
among the few that ring: followers and
xporting writers will hark back to, in
making comparisons and passing Judg
ment on the skill and ability of the flKht
era who are yet to strive for the honors
of. the ring. "The admirers of a good scrap
will be saying then of the Buffalo lad
us they do now of John and Jackson
and Dempsey.
Oh. but that was a greut left hook
tuat he had. Kemember the fight with
l'rns? He should never have lost that
Wfnt out of his class to take him on;
hail him beaten to a standstill and then
got careless. No flirhters like the ones
of. those days Corbett and John L. and
Puz and Jeff and Dempsey and poor
'eter Jackson and Erne and George
Dixon, they don't make boxers like them
apy more." And so the talk will go on.
There Is nothing to which Erne can be
more aptly likened than that snappy,
smart, small caliber rifle of modern
navies. He is built on the principle of a
"four-point, seven. That fitly describes
him. To see him working in the gym of
the club quick, shifty, tense, keen-eyed
and every move showing a purpose one
can think of nothing else that he is like
except a beauty of a "14-pounder."
IN PERFECT FETTLE.
It Is Just three weeks today since Erne
began training for his fight with "Jim
mle" Britt, the Olympic's pride of the
light-weight olass. If the battle were to
be held tonight Frank would be readx
f'ifcfcis-Wdrroa'TaTtfifuliy ' and iTlg cohdl- '
tlon could not be Improved. His wind la
good, muscles elastic and his weight is
at the point where he wants it. Rain or
shine he Is out on the road following
the route that Jeffries used to take back
of the city to the Cemetery, then over I
toward Piedmont and home to the club
by way of Lake Merritt. Twice he makes
that circle, morning and afternoon, and
it's as good an IS miles as ever a railroad
land agent measured.
ST ST EM OF TRAINING.
The Buffalo wonder has no fixed sys
tem of training; In fact, he is most er
ratic, 'today, for Instance, he lolled
around In his dressing room after break
fast until nearly 10 o'clock and then
..iade a start for the gym. After going
through his paces for an hour and a half
lie put on a s,ult of heavy clothes and
started on a nine-mile run. Tomorrow he
will probably reverse this order, or per-
.juapa.cH.t-.aut tbs.-Syp), nIU.. th? after
noon. "
Boring during training Is particularly
onres---txr Krne-nnd "It is seldom- that
he can be induced to put on the gloves
for that purpose. "Boxing, of course, is
very good for a man In training." he
says. V'but I have never found It neces
sary and have kept away from it as
much as possible. One always runs such
a chance of hurting his hands In boxing
before a fight that I think It best not to
tuke 11."
The gym work consists of shadow box
ing a splendid exhibition of feinting,
blocking, shifting, hooking and footwork,
with an imaginary opponent, bag punch
ing and light wrestling. Erne has the
services of Ole Olsen, a husky youngster
of the Reliance, for the last-mentioned
pace, and despite the fact that the Swede
Is at leajst 20 pounds heavier, the way i
he is " jerked ' around and "" shoved and
his bMd Sent back suggests that Britt
will have something sis to look out (or
besides the marvelous left book that has
sent so many good men down to talcs the
count. . .
ERNE CAN MAKE 'WEIGHT. ?
A well-known sDurtins man remarks
""t have heard stmie talk tfiat Erne" will
hav grt difficulty: making US pounds
at the ringside when he meets Jimmy
Britt. Don't you aver pat any stock in
thoas idle , rumors. Invariably they are
sent out about a week, before a battle by
men .interested In betting on the man
tney are being--circulated about. I have
been around booking on the different
tracks of they' country, ' and a few days
before prominent . racing events I have
heard men' busily spreading rumors that
horses were 'off' and so forth, but before
the race those same, people were busy
gettipg their coin op.' .It's the same with
fights. Why. I expect in the next few
days to hear that Jimmy Britt' s hands
are liable to go back on him, when
have been told that they are as sound ss
Mtx can dollars. Take this for me that
Li ne will make ' 15 pounds, and easily
enough. '
TO TURN PROFESSIONAL.
Spider Kelly's, Drgtege, the "Tooths
pick'- has 'made' up his- mind to turn-
professional'. ' He will be seen In one of
lliu preliminaries on the night of the
Erne-Britt contest. His opponent is as
yet unknown. Conjecture has It that it
may possibly be . ,Sam Burger, the Coast's
heavyweight champion. However, the
name . of his opponent has not yet been
announced.
HERRERA AND RYAN.
Aurelio Herrera has been offered a
match with Buddy Ryan of Chicago, to
take place In that city on the 28th Inst.
His manager has accepted the offer, pro
vlding the club will set the date back
one week, to allow Herrera ample time
to train after reaching here. Ryan Is
about the best 1'8-pound in the Middle
West, and Benny Yanger and other good
ones in that locality are side-stepping
him with marked regularity.
"ROUGH-HOUSE" CHARLEY.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21. The ar
rival of "Rough-House" Charley Bums
In the city has stirred up considerable In
terest In the match between him and
Harry Foley, which takes place at the
Acme Club on the 28th Inst. Burns
got In yesterday afternoon from Chicago,
where he has been fighting all classes and
sizes as well. His last light there oc
curred about two weeks ago with Buck
Montgomery and was said by the fight
critics of that city to have been the
warmest kind of a mlxup. Fighting as
frequently , as he has been the past few
months lust now finds the Cincinnati
need about 10 days work to finish up.
and as he starts training at once the
28th will find him Just right for his ar
gument with Mr. Foley.
C. Wellington, as he Insists on being
called, will do his training -at the blx-
Mlle Hluse. Burns' fights with Matty
Matthews, Tommy Ryan, Jack Moffatt,
Charley McKeever, Owen Zelgler. Jack
Bennett and others of that caliber stamps
him as one of the toughest In his class.
Burns points to his record with pride,
and justly so, too, for he has met all
the noted welter and middleweight in the
business. Last winter, in Chicago, he
accomplished something no other tighter
.!- Hnne He won three flKhts In
four nights, boxing on Friday. Saturday Jrlng to his friend!
and Monday. He also won nine fights lTrt who have fought
eight weeks. Foley will have the warm
est Job he ever tackled when he faces
Burns.
Lyceum Athletic Clubs. The rivalry be
tween th two is s keeu"gs ever, and
tack is probably secretly hoping, the
Vw club will go out of business, but
the other day it was decided to split the
dates, each giving shows on alternate
Monday , nights. Later, . by s," flip' .9. .
coin, the Lyceum won the privilege of
feoldmr another show next 'Monday. nJglitT
while the America will be left dark,: .The
splitting of the dates was tba only thing
possible under the circumstances, as a
war between the two was inevitable, and
such a war would have meant the exter
mination of both clubs; it not of the
fighting game in the lty.
ZEIGLER PUT OUT.
GREAT KALL8, Mont., Nov. 2L Ray

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 41.-Brooklyn Tommy
Sullivan went down and out before Jack
McClellan, of Pittsburg, in the 12th round

DOBBS LOST DECISION.
LONDON, Nov. 21. Bobby Dobbs, the
American boy, met Jem Maloney last
night for a purse of $1,700 and the cham
pionship. -The men weighed in at 138
pounds. Dobbs was the favorite in the
Letting, and for the first five rounds had
the best of the fight. The local man dur
ing the last part of the contest had the
best of It, but Dobbs managed to stay
the 20 rounds. He was plainly outclassed
on points and Maloney was given the de
cision. ,
VERY SLOW FIGHT.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. '21. Big Jim
Jeffords and Jack McCormlck met last

CHICAGO, Nov. 21. Benny Yanger has

SEATTLE. Nov. 21. The sports here
are all ripped up the Uu k over the ac
tion of the principals In tin- Athletic Club
contests of Tuesday night. Tommy
Reilly, the lad who defeated Ben Them
ble, will not fight Al Nelll in this city
next month, or at leu.t not under the
auspices of the Nortli western Athletic
Club. The winner was to have fought
Nelll here on the nllu of December 16.
In fart, the articles cr-- all signed, both
by Reilly and the California wonder.
After the fight. Tremble and Reilly met
In Morrison's saloon, on First avenue, to
divide the proceeds. Mr. Morrison, felt
he had been grievously insulted by the
Kellly people when they refused to ac
cept Jack Grant as referee, after propos
ing htm. The manager contained himself
until he had paid the lighters their share
of the gate, and then Lidding them re
main a moment, he opened the safe, took
out the Rellly-Nelll articles, tore them
into a thousand pieces anil threw them
on the floor. Turnlint to Kellly and his
manager, Frank Kelh, Morrison said:
"You fellows have aieured for the last
time under the auspires of the North
western Athletic Club. You stumped
yourselves as anything but square- sports
by your conduct tonight. Why. d
I you, you couldn t JiKlit for me If you
1 were the last Ma-hter In th worM Tliw

unsportsmanlike. I wouldn't give you

"Veil, we can lljcht under someone
else," suggested Reilly.

1 MORRISON 8 ROAST.
I To the Times Mr. Morrison said:
"Well, you can Just tell the.good pec
! pie of Seattle that I am through with
those tin-horn sports and cheap lighters
' for all time to come. When 1 took hold
i of the sport I did the Ix-st I could to
Forbes at Chicago the other night when
It was expected of htm. The cause has
finally been ascertained. Abe made a
foolish match. It Is an old saying that "a
match 'weir made Is a match half won."
But Abe .did not heed that adage. Jlve
days before the date set for ttie light' he
agreed to make US pounds ilngsld for
Harry Forbes. After training- for three
days' he realised it' would be impossible
to do so. He. was therefore forced to
spend two whole days in a Turkish bath
With the result that he was weak as a
kitten when he went Into the ring. Under
the circumstance he made .a wonderful
fight and showed beyond a doubt that at
h)s nattn-al weight he Is the master of
Harry Forbes In any kind of going or at
any distance. Even In his weakened con
dition Forbes could not defeat bin. It
Is out of the .question for Abe to do
anything under 122 pounds.
"I would like to get a meeting with
Forbes -at some higher weights," Attel
said after the fight. "I thoueht when I
offered Forbes the match at Z pounds
that I could make It easily, hut the time
was so short that I had to taks weaken.
Ing means to make the figure. I made It
and saved my forfeit, but my , left hand
Was of little use to me. I could not shoot
it out as straight as I usually do, but had
to hook It all the time. This left me open
to Forbes' left and 1 could not get away
from It. I guess the dec. don was all
right." j
Forbes laughs at the Idea of giving any !
weight away to a man as gocd as Attel.
He said: "It la true, as AttM says, that
I have boxed featherwehrnts. but none of j
them was as good as Attel. He Is too
speedy a fellow. I consider I made a ;
good match at 118 pounds ringside, for I
know what a lot of trouble ringside
weight Is for most fighters."

PEACE IS DECLARED.

clared between the two rival fight organi

'1 ne little folks love Dr. Wood's Norway ;
Pine Syrup. Pleasant to take; perfectly
harmless. Positive cure for coughs, colds,
bronchitis, asthma. '
Many of the friends of Abe Atfel have
wondered why he did not win over Marry
George H. Davis of New York, who
owns the horse Bounteous, which was
raced at the Kenllworth meeting and
failed to deliver the goods. Is no racing
at Aqueduct. Bounteous can't win there,
either, and the people who have backed
the nag. to their sorrow, have. It is said,
threatened to kill Mr. Davis. The latter,
however. In order to appease their anger,
has offered to hold a public execution of
the animal and Invite the dissatisfied bet
tors to the sctthe.
Davis has been the recipient of Minus- j
ands of letters of complaint, and the f I - I
lowing is a sample:
"We are looking for a horse suitable
to draw a light junk wagon. Do you
know of an animal of this kind that you 1
think would aimwer our purpose? We do
not want a racehorse, or even a fast one. ;
Some one suggested Bounteous, and as I
he would .fill the requirements fur speed, j
I thought lweuld : Vrtte you.- Of couTbjj.T
the. price would have- to. b very low l -
iulu it an object." . .,
But here is Davis' proposition, sug- i
gestlng the execution:
