Abe was planning against Weeks.
The affair with Dalton took on
semblance of a real battle, and ths
champion exchanged wallops with the
Spaghetti Kid all through the five
periods. From beginning to end 1t was
slam-bang meeting and at the wind
up Attel1 was strong and ready to con-
tinue. His weight, as announced after
the days work, was 1901 pounds.

AttelI did his usual road stunts in
the,~morning, and plowed up the mud
foT six fast miles. He came back
strong and ready for the finishing
touches to the days doings in the after
noon.
The champion will do but little work
today, being in such shape that further
labor would have tendency to make
him go stale. In the morning he will
go over the highway for little jog, but
after lunch boxing will be tabooed and
only light exercise indulged in.
Attell announced his seconds yester-
day, and they're certainly swell

Almost any kind of seconds do for

fearing an injury to the little challen-
gers hands on the eve of battle.
Weeks will be seconded by Van
Court, Durand, Lauder Troutman, Jack
Kern and Harry Won Phul, the sheriff of
Teller county, Colorado. Kern arrived
at Arcadia from Spokane yesterday, and
the sheriff telegraphed Durand that he
would get in either today or tomorrow.
The Weeks adherents are beginning
to drift in, and yesterday three of
them, in addition to Kern, put in an
appearance at the Arcadia camp. They
are all there with the bank roll to bet
on the Cripple Creek mixer, and will in
all probability get action on their coin
today.
Weeks timekeeper, Coffroth, has also
arrived, hailing from Ely. New. He
has held the watch for the little fellow
in previous encounters and when Du-
rand asked him to officiate again Coff-
roth left his business in Nevada and
tore up the dust getting to Los An
geles.
Attell will come to town early Tues
day afternoon, and will hold himself in
readiness for the fighpwhich, from all
advance appearances, promises to be a
duplicate of the Neil-Attell battle of
over a year ago. Weeks and his forces
will make the trip from Arcadia about
5 o'clock tomorrow and will spend the
intervening time at downtown hotel
waiting for the time when they must
appear at Maud Junction.
