BOXING.
A cable in the Australian Press reports that Driscoll, the English featherweight, defeated Abe Attell, the fea-ther-weight champion of the world, in a. ten-round bout in New York. Driscoll won on points. This result will not affect the championship., but it may lead to the men being matched by one of the Western Clubs for the title. London “Sporting Life” reports that Johnston is already booked up to 1911 with music-hall engagements in Great Britain of the gross value of £20,000.
