Young Corbett, champion feather

Attell's proposal to split the feather

cussing the plan:
The recent statement of Abe Attell
in regard to splitting the title Of
champion featherweight pugilist has
naturally aroused talk in pugilistic
circles. am frank enough to say I
indorse great deal Attell says. His
idea of splitting the title is simply this.
115 to 1872 pounds to be the light
featherweight limit, and 122 to 1873
pounds to be the heavy featherweight
limit. Thus there would be two featf1-
erweight champions. If there is Moth
ing wrong in having light heavy
weight and also real heavyweight
champion, there certainly can be
nothing wrong in us little men divid-

from Gardner, while Jeffries is the

ABE Attell is really one of the best

He has record of fighting many men
heavier than himself, and he has al
ways given good account. He can
do 120 pounds and be strong. He has
a good punch, but his strong point is

this much-he has as good chance
