ROBSON OUTPOINTED
CHAMPION ATTELL

PHILADELPHIA, April 4.-Spike Rob-
son, the English feather-weight champion,
clearly and distinctly outponted Abe Attell,
the American champion, in a six-round
bout at the National Athletic Club here
last night
He showed his superiority in nearly every
round and was the aggressor most Of the
time.
The California boy did not display his
usual cleverness, and to escape punishment
clinched many times.
The club was crowded to the doors and
more than 1000 persons were unable to
get in. A large delegation of New York
men witnessed the fight.
The fighters weighed in at 124 pounds
at noon. Attell was pronounced favorite
at odds Of to e.
times slow. Attell gained slight advan-
tage in the first round, which was devoted
mostly to sparring and clinching.
In this round they fddled and clinched
struck. Robson landed few light blows
to face and kidneys, and in return received
several right-hand jolts on the chin. Some
hard infghting followed, but neither was
damaged to any extent AS the round ended
Attell landed left on Robson's nose.
The second round was much faster than
the first. The American landed first with
a light left to neck. Robson jabbed left

Robson then swung both to head, but be-
fore he could get away was struck three
jabs on the face.
Robson swung left to ear and landed two
left jabs on mouth He also sent to jaw
and a left to nose. Attell hooked two
lefts to face and jabbed Robson several
light blows to face. Both were strong as
the bell rang.
This was Robson's round
Neither had a decided advantage in the
next round. It was slow and the fighters
were clinched most Of the time. Not a
telling blow was struck
The fourth round was fast and much in
favor Of the English fighter. He started
the round with a right smash to the
breast and received a light left to the face
in return. Robson then sent three hard
lefts to the jaw and exchanged left to the
Robson forced Attell to break ground.
In return for light left to face Robson
jabbed three lefts to the nose and then
hooked two lefts to the jaw. Attell landed
several light blows on Robsons body in
this round, but none of them had sufficient
force in them to annoy the Englshman.
The fifth was also Robson's round. He
repeatedly landed hard right and left
swings on Attell's body and received few
hard blows in return.
It was the fastest round of the fight.
Both boys rushed at each other like en-
ragged tigers when the bell rang for the last
round. They slashed and banged each
other to head, face and body, but neither
had enough power in his blows to land a
knockout. Attell was bleeding from the
power in his blows and did the most dam

AMERICANS AFTER
WORLDS BILLIARD TROPHY

NEW YORK, April At was definitely
decided yesterday to send one or more
American amateur billiardists- to France
to compete in the International tourna-
ment which will be held in Paris this
spring.
The Liederkranz Club voted to enter J.
Ferdinand Poggenburg and defray his ex-
penses. News was also received by the
officials of the National Association of Am
ateur Billiard Players that the Chicago
Athletic Association had taken similar ac-
ton with regard to Calvin Demarest, the
youthful winner of the championship title.
As chairman of the committee empowered
to arrange the details of an American entry
to the international tournament Maurice
DAILY said yesterday that the stand taken
by the New York and Chicago organiza-
tons made 1t certain that an American
amateur would compete. But whether or
not both Demarest and Poggenburg will go
remains to be decided. Each club has only
agreed to enter its own player. This
changes the idea put forth at the banquet
following the national championship tour
nament that a fund be subscribed and that
the governing body of the game select a
player qualified and willing to compete.
Because of this arrangement Chairman
DAILY said that the funds subscribed at the
banquet would not be called for. He said
that considerable cabling was being done
with the view to delaying the beginning OF
the tournament The date that had been
set was for the last of this month.
To begin play at that time would give a
distinct advantage to the Parisfans, the
Belgians. Germans and other amateurs who
are on the ground, and who are expected

COULD NOT SEE MOTHER ILL.
Fifteen Clerk Hanged HIM
self-News Kept From Her.

NEW YORK, April 4.-Harry Wilbrock.
who keeps grocery store at 157 Stuy-
vesant avenue, Brooklyn, missed his fifteen
year-old clerk, Frederick Zolinger of 10
Gates avenue about 6 o'clock last night
He did not hunt for him until an hour
later, when he started to close the store for
the night. In a rear room he found the
youth dead, hanging by rope from an iron
bar.
Apparently the lad killed himself because
he could not bear to witness the suffering
Of his mother, for whom he had an unu-
sual affection. For weeks she has been i'll
with stomach trouble. Every day Zollnger
left the grocery store and spent few
hours at her bedside. He read to her and
talked to her in an effort to tighten her
suffering. Often he had to turn away to
wipe the tears from his eyes. Yesterday
when he paid his visit he found his mother
In agony. He went back to the store much
affected.
Frederick Zollinger. the lads father. who
keeps a paint shop at the Gates avenue adj
dress, ordered that the body be kept away
from his home for fear that IL the mother
heard of her boys death the blow would
kill her. When the boy did not return home
last night the mother asked repeatedly for
him.
Freddie is going to stay at the store to-
night" said the boys younger sister, and
then the woman went to sleep.

Notes of the Track.


There will be sale in the paddock on
Wednesday, the 10th, of horses from the
stables of Henry Oxnard. w. Garth. w.
Shields, ]. Mclaughlin and others. Err
nest Hall will manage the details.
Jockey Mountains good work in the sad
die will earn him an engagement on the
Metropolitan racing circuit. q. R. Thom-
as, Alex. Shields and August Belmont are
all negotiating with him. and the latter
has the inside track.
McDaniels suspension will be up today
and his mounts will meet with public sup
port. This boy has shown good work at
this meeting.
Jockey Radtke won two races yesterday,
but with seven wins is still behind Miller,
who has nine to his credit. ]. Johnson is
third with six races, White Mountain and
Highlander are tied with five each. Nc
Daniel ranks next with four.
Water Dogs poor race yesterday was
away behind his previous performance, and
form players will throw it out Of calcula-
lions.
The Madden filly Kate Carney. fine
looking daughter of Plaudit, is on the big
side, and her poor performance yesterday is
no criterion of what she may do later on.
Beldamo was warmed 10 on the back
stretch. He showed his usual speed, but
failed TO stay as well as he did when he
defeated Orphan Lad at six furlongs.
Jerry c.. slow to begin, as usual, was
raced to pieces by his boy trying to make
up the gap too soon. Had he been rated
well was the winner, Buttons, he
might have pushed that horse closer at the
end.
Holscher is a funny horse. Sulks and
won't try until he gets ready. Before his
race yesterday he got a good dose of the
whip in the paddock to take the kinks
out of him. But in the race he loafed as
usual twenty lengths in the rear and then
came like a cyclone when too late, and
would have won in few more strides.

had come out openly and had declared to
the officials Of the National Association of
Amateur Billiard Players that 1t was not
his intention to in any manner jeopardize
his amateur standing. Daily believed that
