ABE TRIES
TO DICTATE
SAYS WEEKEs MUST WEIGH IN
WITH Toes
AtteII Assumes NoIanish Attitude and
Increases His Unpopularity with
Sports-M ccarey Should Show
Champion His Place

Abe Attell has Joined the "Nolans.'
Yesterday he came out fat-footed and
declared that Freddie Weekes would have
to make 122 pounds with all his fighting
clothes on when he wishes to weigh In
at the ringside a week from Tuesday
night, or else there would be no battle
for the featherweight championship and
the title now held by Attell
or course, everyone knows that Attell's
work is just a little piece Of dirty stuff,
such as not many besides Billy Nolan and
Tommy Burns can get away with but
at that many of the sports are wonder
ing what got into him. Not long ago he
was hollering around about meeting
Jimmy Burns and Joe Cans at 1888 pounds,
and now when he has to go up against a
legitimate feather he yells his head off.
Attell is about as unpopular with the
public as fighter can be and nothing
but his extreme and mdisputed superior
ity and skill saves him from being dead
one. He Is adding to his unpopularity
by the stand he takes at present, and
unless he comes to time by Monday
Manager McCarey should throw the
match in the ash can and ignore Able
for all time to come.
Weekes and his manager, Marius Du-
rand, fail to see things in Attells light
and are undoubtedly right in SO doing.
I'VE are not afraid of him at any figure"
says Durand, "but Freddie is sticking to
his rights and will not lay down to the
champion"
Attell says: 'weekes will have to
weigh in with all his fighting togs,
trunks and shoes, or / will refuse to meet
him. won the championship under those
conditions and as 1 am champion l pro-
pose to do the debating in regard to
challenges for my title"
That last probably lets Able out. He
is Unfortunately vain. even for fig iiter,
and probably thinks that the public will
not realize that he Is sure enough
champ unless he shoots off his face and
makes things generally dsagreeable for
the other fellow
Weekes can make any weight required
easily enough, and it is only for the
principle of the thing that he is holding
out at all. Last Friday he was down
below the 122-pound notch, stripped. and
declared himself ready to knock off to
12O should he have to.
Manager McCarey was not on hand yes
terday to tell Attell what he thought of
the champions actions, as he is confined
TO his bed. Mac expects to be out tomor-
row, and unless his managerial capabili-
ties have deserted him he will tell Attell
to roll his hoop till he comes to another
fighting club, or else act sensibly in the
present instance.

All the seconds all the ogsolete mod

Europeans. And they had no. redress.
To-day English bicycles are supreme in

temptuous shrug of the shoulders 1t

KNO7TY POINTS IN
RULES UNRA VELED

At the recent football rules meeting the
rules were gone over and several knotty points
in them decided. AS result of the meeting
the penalty of fifteen yards is imposed upon
a team when the pass is Illegal or incompleted
cannot be declined.
If the forward pass is incompleted is IL
legal with the passer standing behind his own
goal line it counts as a safety whether on the
first, second third down.
A place kick, following fair catch can be
made when the ball does not go over the cross
bar by the players of the kicking side running
down the field recovering the ball and touch
ing 1t down behind the goal line. In this con.
nection the second paragraph of section g.
rule 6, was amended to read as follows:
1T is also a touchback when kicked ball
(other than kick off, a free kick of a place
kick, or drop kick passing over the crossbar)
goes over the goal line either on the fly OF
after striking the ground (before being touched
by a player on either side)" These words
free kick are the changes decided on in the
paragraph. 1t was brought out that after a
fair catch the ball may be put in play from

EUROPEANS DISLIKE

FORD MAN SAYS PREJUDICE is
WELL FOUNDED

Across the Pond Abused in Good

Conclusion

'That there is a well defined prejudice
IN all European countries against Ameri-
can made automobiles cannot be denied" "
says James Couzens, secretary and gen
eral manager of the Ford Motor COM
pany who recently returned from a three
months business tour in Europe.
mot only is this prejudice well de-
fined, but 1t is, I must say, well founded.
y II visited every country in Europe
with the single exception Of Turkey, and
spent from one to two days in every
large city studying conditions pertaining
to the export of automobiles l visited
every garage, and my diary shows how
many motor cars and of what make there
are in each city l speak of European
sentiment as whole not as met with in
one country alone.
''That the prejudice against American
automobiles is well nigh universal was
shown by the inevitable exclamation of
European agents when told we repre-
sneted American automobiles: 'AmerI-
cano-ughl No, nor And the name of a
certain car once much in vogue abroad
as well as in this country was invariably
uttered in tone of inexpressible dis
gust. That particular car-of the one
lung type-is still synonymous of all
that is American in motor cars in the
minds of Europeans.
"'Oh, WE'LL I would reply you must
remember your own product of five years
ago would not be much to boast of in
comparison with your latest models. Do
you think we have done nothing to de-
velop our product in these latter years?
'Perhaps-yes-but bicycles Ameri-
canor and again the expressive shrug
and the inexpensive ugh! indicating
more plainly than words that in the
minds of Europeans the bicycle and motor
cars are related and that there is preju-
dice against both that is almost insur
mountable, and our bicycle even more
than the crude contraptions we sent over
some years ago as automobiles, are at the
bottom of it.
Fact isl continued Mr.. Couzens, I'VE
that Is, certain industries-have abused
our opportunities for developing Euro
pean trade.

were able by our superior manufacturing
methods to undersell English and Ger
