bout at the American Athletic Club to-
night. The local fistic critics gloated,

Thanks TO Attelrs elusive tactics, he

bat Herrera's deadly hook flashed
across AttelIs guard. but in each in

effect. Ii was noticeable that when

with Attell's head Abe broke ground
as swiftly as he knew how and showed
a decided preference for long range
boxing.
Twice Attell slipped to the ground
during the miXup. but always regained
his feet at a bound. His in and out
work was perfection from a scientific
standpoint. His feints were dazzling
and kept Herrera guessing most of the
time.
Yet when all was said and done the
contest was an unsatisfactory one. The
sympathy of the crowd was clearly
with Herrera. and it voiced its approval
of his earnest forcing tactics by repeat
