THOMPSON WINS
36 Rim c BATTLES
Possesses a Record Emitting Him to
Respect From Best Men of His
CIass--May Be Given
Match

"Cycone" Thompson, regarded in the
east as one of the topnotch lightweight
battlers of the world Npd hard propo-
sition for any one in his class, arrived
in Los Angeles last evening. coming di-
rect from Davenport, Iowa, where he
won from Harry Griffin via the knock
out route in three rounds, June 2S.
Thompson possesses a record that is
calculated to gain the respect of coast
fans and aspirants for his scalp. He
has won thirty-siX straight battles,
knockiTc out twenty-nine of his oppon-
ents in the thirty-six he has faced.
OF these thirty-siX he has fought
most of them at catchweghts, rarely
taking on who weighed less than he
and generall.- giving away weight to
get the fight
His primary object in coming to Los
Angeles is to get to the top of the
coast lightweight division by taking on
any of them whom the fans and the
fight clubs may select as his oppon-
ents and eventually he hopes to get a
battle with Battling Nelson for the
title.
Thompson has amassed a neat amount
from his ring career and comes to the
coast ready to back himself with side
bets when agreeable to the "other fell
low" and is sufficiently well "heeled"
to pay his own board bills. All he asks
of the fans and the fight managers is
chance to show what he can do and
fair deal. In both these desires he is
liable to be accommodated, in the lat
ter most assuredly.
If two or three husky opponents can
be had for him, and if Thompson shows
the class he is expected to show, he
will be given a chance to trim some
of the lightweights on the coast who
are eager for his game.

OF VICTORY
Boxers Have Eased of In Train

tie for Holiday
Contest

Training time Is past for Attel And
Neil and both boys are busy lying
back on their laurels and telling inter-
ested spectators exactly what they pro-
pose to do to one another when they
meet tomorrow afternoon.
Their conversations are framed along
the stereotyped lines of how easy the
other fellow appears to be and the
minute details have been published to
the effect that they will win surely
within a definite number of rounds.
both claiming their intention of winning
by a knockout.
Certain It is that both youngsters
are in fine fettle and ready and able. to
travel at a fast clip, which means that
the fans will have a rare treat I'm store
when the first daylight fight in local
history is pulled off.
Jim Neil Confident
Papa" Jim Neil is not doing as much
talking as he usually INDUCES in re-
garding the chances of my son,
frankie" but it is evident from their
demeanor and confident bearing that
the Neil family will be greatly disap-
pointed if frankie fails to land the
dreamland punch.
Never in his career has frankie at
tanned the condition he will present
when he steps into the ring to do
battle with the foxy and clever Attell,
and all the jealousies of the nature in
spired by rivalry as native sons will
spur them on to greater deeds of dar-
ing and hard hitting when the oppor-
tunity offers, as there is a deep laid
grudge between them that has been
fostered and cherished since they be-
came celebrities in the ring.
Attell has trained harder for this
battle than ever before and he is more
confident of winning at an early stage
of the fight and by a knockout than ne
has usually entertained previous to Co
tering the ring. If confidence counts
for anything the battle will go to Attell
in short order as he smiles in derision
at any suggestion that Neil has the
slightest chance of winning.
With the ring considerably decreased
in size since he met Herman, Attel will
find less room in which to perform his
marvellous feats of footwork, which has
always stood him in good stead in hard
fights and the lessening of the ring is a
decided advantage to Neil, who is best
at a stand up and fight game than he
is at chasing phantom-lik opponent
as is Attel
Fight fans are decidedly far apart IN
their opinions of the finale both little
fellows possessing a host of admirers
for the work they have done in the
past and because their styles of battling
are so widely different
Odds of favoritism are being held at
10 to z, with Attell the popular choice,
but there is plenty of Neil money in
sight and it is probable that more coin
will change hands on the result than
has ever swapped owners in any pre-
viouS battle in Los Angeles.
frankie owns punch that is labeled
"slumber," and he has a Enack of APP
plying it at a time when least ex-
pected. but the principal question with
the fans is will he get the chance OF
putting ii over onto Able. Papa Jim
and Frankie confess to the affirmative
notion and their confessions are tinged
with considerable emphasis.
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-03
AttelI Says Fight

Neither will believe that Attell can
run away from frankie fast enough to
avoid those haymakers which have
boosted the little Irish champion to the
top rung of the pugilistic ladder. At
tell announces that he will not try
to run away, but that he will stand up
and slap-bang away with frankie un-
til one of them is down for the count.
Inasmuch as both boys have excellent
records for knockouts and cannot be
denied the gift of jab, the battle prom
ises to be the fastest, prettiest and
fiercest eyer fought out in the local
ring. The seat sales are indicative of
the deep interest felt by the fans in the
scrap and 1t is predicted that a crowded
house will witness the MILL

SWEET PEAS IN WINDOW BOX.
Plant One of the Earliest to Blossom

In recent experiment three inches

all the plants. Very few flowers which
are grown indoors will begin TO yield
a crop of beautiful blossoms after SO
short a period.
In another experience four varieties
of sweet peas We're planted in a sim
liar zinc windOW-sill box on November

grew gradually through the winter,
having reached height of three feet
by the following April. Early in
April some blossom buds appeared,
but for some reason, possibly because
the soil was allowed to get too dry
a few times, the blossom buds blight
ed and fell off. Toward the end of
April, however, more vigorous
growth took place at the tops of the
plants, and strong blossom buds ap.
