CHARLES DRYDEN - JERSEY CITY MAY LOSE BASEBALL FRANCHISE JERSEY CITY, July 20.—Declaring that they can not afford to,lose any more money, James J. Lillis and Hugh Msßreen, owners of the Jersey City baseball club of the International league, have announced that unless the games at West Side park are more gen erously patronized they will be obliged to transfer the franchise to some other city. In a public statement issued yester day. President Lillis said there would be a game on Sunday to test the loy alty of the local baseball enthusiasts. Jersey City and Baltimore will be the contesting teams. The price of admission will be raised from 25 to 50 cents, and the grand stand seats will be 75 cents Instead of 50 cents. The free list, including passes, will be suspended. If the attendance Is not up to the expectations of the owners, it will be the last game played in Jer sey City. President Lillis says that only by the increase of prices and an attendance that will show a desire on the part of the. local fans to patronize the game “can Jersey City be continued on the baseball map.” It was learned that the Jersey City team has made money only one year since it was established. James J. Lillis, a Jersey City lawyer, bought the team two years ago ’from the estate of the late Robert Davis. Last year Hugh Meßreen, of Boston, became part owner of the team. nolanTnTattell on VERGE OF BIG BREAK SAN FRANCISCO, July 20—The Billy Nolan-Abe Attell alliance appears to be resting on the weakest kind of a foundation. AVtell has been hinting that he and Billy are no longer yoked. He neglected to notify Nolan. Mean while, Billy has been hustling to per fect the details of the Attell-Murphy battle, scheduled for August 3, and "pointing" his man for a return match with Johnny Kilbane. “I took up Attell’s case at a time when his popularity was rusted, his title , gone and his prestige dented,” says Nolan. “1 claim nothing from him on the grounds of gratitude, as grati tude appears to have no place in the boxing game. "My contract was to take Abe to the mountains and get him into first-class physical condition, after which 1 was to land him in the ring with Kilbane again. He will box. Murphy under my direction and we will then get Kilbane. After this Abe may act as he chooses.” If Abe tries any sleight-of-hand stuff with Nolan, though, look out for a beautiful battle of wits between two men who know the boxing game.
