C0ODW N AND ATTELL DRAW

Through the kindness OF Referee Mof-
fitt Flaherty. Chester Goodwin was given
darw at the end OF his 15-round bout
with Abe Attell at the Douglas A. c.,
Chelsea, last evening. This and this
alone. was what saved the Chelsea boxer
from losing the decision to the feather
weight champian OF the world, for In al
most every round OF the 15 the little San
Francisco bunch Of springs had the better
OF the going. He was over and all around
Goodman. and his lghtning-like speed
was really dazzling.
The equal OF Attell in speed and clever
ness has yet To be seen al the club. A
miniature Jack OBrien was what some
OF the audience called him last evening
and this seems TO just about fit the case.
Speedy as creased lightning hitting like
welterweight and as fast as a racehorse,
Attell bore out his reputation. and though
little Chester Goodwin al times did very
well, never did he have a chance OF win
ming
on Just what grounds Flaherty gave
a draw Is not known by many who saw
the contest, and. in fact, il seemed TO be
the general opinion OF the immense crowd
who saw the bout that Il was not right,
and some vented their feelings in regard
10 the award with Kisses. Attell must
be given credit today for having whipped
Goodwin.
EVERY time GodWin tried to land in the
first few rounds Attell blocked him beau
tifully or else closed in on him, so that
landing was impossible.
For six rounds Attell landed n dozen
blows to Goodwin's one. with great steam
behind them. For the next few rounds
he seemed to tire some and Goodwin kept
over him. forcing him all the time and
then the champion changed his style OF
lighting 10 the extent that he devoted
most OF his energies to the body. And
though Goodwin cut his mouth with hard
straight left jabs, Attell whaled him
viciously about the body and whacked
Goodwin's ribs with hard right swings un-
I'll the Chelsea boys body In that region
was one mass OF red the punches making
Goodwin cautious.
The preliminaries were somewhat diff
ferent from those usually given at the
club. being competition in the 120- pound
class. six boys competing. Duke" Fer
guson and Jerry Gaines got at Il and the
pair put up a stiff battle for three rounds.
and Ferguson proved himself a game
fighter
The pair smashed each other like heavy
weights, until Gaines. after a series Of
terrific heart punches finally landed one
on Ferguson's heart in the third round
and the latter dropped to the mat from
sheer exhaustion, out, way out, and in
spite OF Sandy's rough methods OF reviv-
ing, he failed to come TO until some time
after he was carried to his corner still
out.
The result OF the 100 pound competition
follows: Billy Denver defeated Sam
Moss. four rounds; Guse Ross defeated
Billy Slavin. two rounds: Bobby Connors
defeated Jack Kenney, three rounds.

Great interest was shown by the race
goers in the result OF this race. 1t was a
factional struggle between the best

Lieber and Phil Finch had displayed
speed OF high order recently. and for that
reason the contest was conceded 10 be
between them. Each had his host OF
admirers and long before the race was
called their paddock stalls were overruu

The race was won easily by Lieber. He
ran under a pull from start 10 finish. Hol-
lowmas acted as the pacemaker for six
furlongs with Lleber second. The latter

FENCING CONTEST

The fencing contest for the state cham
pionship. scheduled TO be held next Fri-
day night at knights Of Pythias hall,
Elinwood avenue. never ceases TO ba q
source Of discussion among the local FEM
GERS. The entries for the contest are not
coming I'm very fast, there being only four
men TO date who have announced their
intention OF going after the gold medal
which has been hung up by Prof. Joseph
Castaldi.
The contests are TO be under the di-
rection Of a local fencer and will be
fought under the rules OF the Fencers
League.
There will be one innovation in this con-
test. Prof. Castaldi has had two plastrons
made. They are exactly the same size
Each contestant must wear one of these
plastrons, and any bona-fide hit, not a
slap. upon II will count against him. The
tips OF the foils will be shalked, although
any man hit must acknowledge the touch
In an audible tone or be fined two points
for his omission to speak up.
Prof Castaldis idea is that making the
scoring surface of the same size will
demonstrate the skill OF the competitors
A big man Is not Handicapped by present
ing a surface twice as large, perhaps. as
that OF smaller opponent After the
championship is decided there will be ex-
hibition bouts, foil and broadsword.

adoption OF the new rule. 1. would affect
the Americas cup. That story was abso-
lutely false.
The fact is the various yacht clubs
along this coast were represented at sew
eral meetings at the New York Yacht club
which were held TO choose delegates to
represent the American clubs az whole.
First IL was planned to send two men
abroad and then, at the last minute IL was
decided that the clubs would ba putting
themselves 20 an unnecessary expense. II
the foreign clubs chose 10 adopt the
American rule. which seemed likely, well
and good, but the yachtsmen I'm this coun-
try did not care about having those on tho
other side attempt TO argue them into ac-
cepting something else when their own
rule had been proven satisfactory TO all
The meetings were open 10 a number OF
clubs and only one has word 20 say
about the Americas cup. That one Is the
New York Yacht club, which holds II un-
der deed or gift. Several OF the others,
however, regret that they have not.
Furthermore, the New York Yacht club
never has refused 20 defend the famous
trophy under the new rule. which calls
for a substantial boat instead OF n racing
machine, and there is not one OF its MEM
bers but what feels confident that the
club can take care OF the cup with any
kind OF a boat rig or rule.

alcalde, who escorted him 10 his hotel.
Mr.. Gummere was similarly saluted
when he arrived on board the Galilee. He
was accompanied by a Portuguese and
Belgian delegate and by Lewis Einstein,
third secretary OF the American embassy
at London, who will act as secretary to
the American delegation.
As the delegates assemble there Is no
outward evidence OF tension, but, on the
contrary. there is notable exchange OF
amenities between the German and
French delegations.
There is however. ain undercurrent OF
sentiment that supreme diplomatic
struggle Is imminent. with France and
Germany occupying the centre and tho
'other powers ranged In varying degrees
around them.
The French count upon Great Britain,
Spain, Italy and Russia as sure and con-
slider that the ties between the United
States and France and Great Britain war
rant them in expecting the support OF the
American delegates
On the other hand the prevailing sem
timent Is that Germany can count on
Austria, Holland and Sweden and per-
haps on Denmark. with Germany also ex-
pecting that the United States will sup
port some OF her contentious.
