Jim 1ClCOHdtu was culiiCllAS
just and was we'll received by the spec
tators.
Attell proved one of the cleverest box
ers that ever pulled on a glove Inc
Queensberry contest. The superior
gameness of his opponent asserted
itself early in the contest and it
was this that lost him clean cut decis-
ion. The fighting blood in Hanlons
veins kept him in action all the time. In
the face of a terrific peppeting he kept
boring in continually ami clearly out
gained the boxer who seemed for time
a veritable will-o- the-wisp to him.
At times Attell made a show of Han
Ion, some spectators touting the latter
with Where is he, Eddie?' This did
not deter Hanlon, who kept after his
opponent in workmanlike manner and
gradually wore him down. HanIon was
ever ready to take a punch for the op-
portunity of landing one.
From the start it was apparent there
was no force behind the blows delivered
by Attell. He landed times without
number on Hanlon's face and jaw, but he
could not stop the advance of the Irish
boy. The latter's eyes We're discolored
and their usefulness was slightly i'm
paired. His mouth and nose were also
cut, but these injuries did not take any
of the fight out of him.
ATTENDANCE IS ENORMOUS.
The attendance was enormous, the
various sections of the big building be-
ing filed to their capacity, Hanlon's
principal seconds were Harry Foley To-
by Irwin and Mike Short Attell was
cleverly handled by Spider Kelly and Tim
McGrath, During the customary discus
sion in midring Kelly and Foley became
engaged in a wordy dispute and squared
off at one another. No damage was
done.
In the first round Attell was clearly
puzzled by Hanlon's peculiar guard. This
round was all AttelFs, as he kept jab-
bling Hanlon with right and left TO the
head. In the second round Hanlon COM
menced the rushing tactics which ulti-
mately gave him draw decision. Attell
started Hanlons nose and mouth bleed
ing in this round. There was one fierce
rally in which they stood up and ex-
changed blow for blow.
The spectators seemed to concede the
fight to Attell in the third round. He
was taking matters easily and told Han
lon he could not whip one side of him.
Attell sent several stiff blows up under
Hanlon's guard the last being a hard
right.
Hanlon continued his aggressive work
in the fourth. Attell doing a lot of run
ming away. Hanlon seemed to be weak
him in better shape The pair of feather
weights opened the round with smuggling
match Hanlon kept rushing Abe, and
the latter kept up his jabbing. Hanion
walked into a hard left just before the
bell and repaid the compliment with a
hard left and right TO the body.
A WHIRLWIND ROUND.
The seventh round was a whirlwind af-
fair, such smuggling seldom being seen in
any ring For a time Atteu apparently
let Hanlou hit him at will. Abe seemed
rocking on his feet, and the house was in
an uproar, seeming the end of the strug-
gle in the air. Suddenly AtteIl turned on
Hanlon and showered blows on him,
nearly having him out at the bell
To the surprise of the spectators both
boxers came up fresh In the eighth round
Attell jabbed for a time and then cleverly
worked the left shift. Atten would not
let Hanlon get set" upsetting him re-
peatedly as he was ready to deliver a
blow.
The spectators applauded Attell for his
| cIeverness in the ninth. He kept up his
jabbing, but did no appreciable damage.
At the bell they were smuggling.
! Attell claimed foul in the tenth, but
| it was not allowed He recovered too
| quickly. From the tenth round on Han
