pose of tipping Owens weight to the

the regulation work yesterday, and
like Attell refused to permit the incle-
ment weather to keep him off the high

pected to arrive in this city Monday
evening. when he will Immediately take
up the handling of his boys affairs.

more at 10 to s. the betting for the

night. the Hebrew champion being bit
more firmly installed as favorite at to
10. The reason for the falling of the
Moran stock is attributed principally to
Attell's having sent to town $1,000 of
his own money to be bet on himself at
the best price.
AS far as strength is concerned the
Britisher has attained physical perfec-
ton. His work from now on will be
for the sole purpose of developing
speed. He will do the last of his box
ing today and tomorrow with Willie
O'Neil, Alf Wieks AID Jimmy Britt.
Attell also is in good condition.
Referee Jim Jeffries will arrive here
Monday.
