Attell Is Cruel
Time and again Abe rasped his glove

printing the "cauliflower.' AT the ring

a remarkable feature of the affair and
one which would tend to prove that Attel
was out for an exercise gailop only, lies
III the fact that .Attell absolutely had no
sign of perspiratton on his pody When tne
final gong sounded.
Without doubt Solomon was weak ana
fearful of what lay in store for him;
His footwork was way to the bad and
half of the punishment he received came
from his own wild rushes into Attell
waiting gloves
Solomon fell to the floor, once half way
through the ropes. In one instance the
difference in strength became more than
ordinarily manifest.
During the second round Attell put a
right to the stomach. The blow was not
overly severe, but as Solomon attempted
tell in rush also slipped AS the boys
landed Attell in some manner went be-
meath the sorely pressed kid.
1t was not Solomon, however, who came
up first Like a lizard Attell twisted out
and flashed to his feet in time to tender
Solomon aid. There was not a moment
mon looked to have chance. Attell felt
him out in the first few rounds and then
made fun of him for the remainder.

the more patronizing became Abe. Stumb-
ling half blinded about the ring Solomon
was a sorry sight. Early in the fray his
nose resembled robin red breast, and at
the end 1T might not have been likened to
anything in particular
Delay at Start
Not altogether smooth was the man
ner of starting. For some reason or
other Attell delayed the proceedings for
forty minutes after Solomon had en-
tered the ring. Rumors We're to the
effect that Attell looking over the house
decided that at least a goodly guaran-
tee be made before he climbed between
the ropes
Evidently he came to satisfactory
agreement as smile of contentment
hovered over his features as he at last
made an appearance The wait proved
wearisome to the fair crowd in attend
ance and resulted in late hour con-
clusion of a frosty affair.
The men went gingerly about their
business, Attell trying to draw his op-
ponent out. From the start Attell
simply made fool of the kid. AS
early as the fourth he was laughing
and kidding about the ring, stabbins
with rights and lefts that wreaked
havoc among Solomon's features.
But for Attell helping him Solomon
would have fallen at the end of the
fifth as he swung wildly with a woody
left. Solomon let nothing get by him.
for if there is any kind of a blow which
the champion failed to plant those in
direct view of the proceedings failed
to make note.
Solomon cannot be touted as a game
ringster judging from last nights af-
fair. He accepted an awful beating
but was not there with the stiff lip. In
the seventh he endeavored to claim q
foul and sank to one knee after Attell
had put right to the body and a left
ing posture until Eyton had counted
seven. Then came the gong.
Again in the eighth Solomon flirteG
with the foul. Eyton was forced tc
warn him against hitting low. The
only round in which Solomon coult
claim partial recognition was the nintf
in which he landed several blows thai
had little or no effect.
1t was biff bang and jim jam for At

cision.

have a nice shade.
Early Saline did not know sufflcien
about the game, but Kid Webster, whC
gained the decision, fought a rathe
mediocre battle.
