 Hart is beyond any question the most earnest and the most tireless of any fighter of recent years. An hour and halfs work without a stop Is his usual days portion, and the big fel- low comes out of the mill not breath ing hard, but breathing deep and strong into the perfect lungs of the athlete. He assails the big sand bag in q way that none has done before him, and he hammers the punching bag until the rope frequently breaks. At the same time he shows that he is shifty on his feet and that be has the speed of lightweight.
 Abe Atteli, whose cleverness as a boxer has placed him in the category of premiers beside such admittedly great masters of the fstic art as James J. Corbett and Young Griffo, is most insistent in his demand now that Young Corbett give him fight and at any old weight that the latter believes will suit him best. Abe has for a brief period been sojourning in tine east and incidentally has covered himself with sufficient glory to demonstrate to the eastern critics his right to meet Cor bett.
 By way Of showing that ne regards Terry McGovern a harder proposition than Young Corbett, Attell says he will fight Terry at either 124 or 12G pounds riHgside at any time the latter desires. Abe Attell surely has a bona fide claim on the featherweight title. for at 122 pounds ringside. the generally ac- cepted limit of this class, he has shown that he has no superiors. He is con ceded to be the cleverest and fastest man in the ring today.
 Attell once beat Buddy Ryan, who now claims the weiterweight title, bad ly, and to show that he can dO it again he offers to fight Buddy for any num- Der of rounds if the latter will weigh in at 140 pounds rinSside. At this weight Attcil would be giving away fully eighteen pounds. as he never en- ters the ring weighing above 122.
 In his recent lSlt with Eddie Hanlon the articles called for 13o pounds ring side. Attell got on the scales with all his clothes on and never budged the beam. Hanlon barely made the weight stripped, but nevertheless Attell beat him all over the ring during the six rounds
 Frisco fight promoters acted unwise Iy when in the controversy over the purse between JiInmy Britt and Bat ting Nelson they permitted the public to see some of the inside workings of the so called fight trust which controls things pugilistic in that city. This trust IS simply an agreement between the various promoters that the fighters shall not be given more than a certain proportion of the proceeds of any fight.
 Jim Crofroth said recently of his own club: At one time we were $s,Oo0 behind last year, largely owing to the fact that the Sullivan-Corbett match was not drawing card. When $S,000 in the hole the club pulled out on the Fitzsimmins- Gardiner, Britt-Nelson and one or two other goes and quit S3,e0O winner on the year.
