ATTELL-O 'TOOLE-
Who WAS WINNER?
Writers Can't Agree on
Verdict in Scrap
Last Night.

Who won that boxing bout Of six
decisionless rounds in Philadelphia last
night between Abe Atten and Tommy
O'Toole?
This is a question which the fight
fans would like to have settled. but
you will never get the answer by read
ing the New York and Philadelphia
papers. No two OF them are exactly
agreed. and the unofficial decisions OF
the fight writer's are so opposed TO one
another that TO a man up a stump Il
would appear that some Of the hustling
young men who essayed 10 name vic
tor were swayed more by prejudice than
a desire to be on the leved- The con-
sensus Of opinion seems to be that
Atten had the better Of the go, based
on his great eleverness in long range
jabbing with his left. and this is prob
ably correct. but the other side claims
that ORIOLES blows did the most dam
age
O'Toole receives a big boost from his
admirers for forcing the fighting IN two
or the six rounds. and they are in
cHned TO give him the long end because
little damage, but this is hardly enough
70 say that an acknowledged champion
was beaten. II OTOOle had wanted to
win and show he had an edge on the
champ he should have started 10 force
the hghting from tho first. but Il is more
likely that he tried 10 play il soft and
sure. as they generally do IL those
Philadelphia fights. and disappoint peo-
pie who expected TO get run for their
money.

The most annoying experience 1 had
during my first year" he said in fan

they sell few seats under the grand

when things We're breaking unusually
good for me a man with half a jag Sc

I was working behind the bat Every
time I called a bail or strike, no matter
which side IL was against, the drunk
said just loud enough for me 70 hear:
You're a Hart
''He started this IN the first inning.
and kept il up till the game was over.
Every time / said strike! he said:
You're a liar" This got on my nerves
and I never spent such an annoying
afternoon in my life.
"A big, fat policeman stood near the
drunk. and every time he passed the
liar remark the copper smiled The
incident bothered me so that after q
few innings commenced TO think may
be I was calling them wrong but the
players did not protest and ! finally

NO, IL isn't 50 bad 70 have them
