NOTHING MARS
PROMOTERS VIEW
M'CAREY PROCEEDS WITH HIS
PLANS FOR FIGHT
AttelI and Solomon Slated for Meeting
at Maud Junction Late This
Month-Ordinanc
Defeated

lust as though nothing had ever
happened to mar the serenity OF the
landscape, as viewed from the promo
ter's bay window, Manager McCarey
of the Pacific Athletic club is going
right ahead with his plans for hold
ing the Attell-Solomon bount on the
| oath of this month, and unless all
signs fail he will get away with the
play. 4
under the name of P. Barnum, and ne
said: 1.-The American people like to
be humbugged." Another, and more
honored man, whose checks We're
signed "A. Lincoln" referred to 1t in
another way. He said: You can fool
some of the people all of the time,
and all of the people part of the time,
but you're up against the real Mccoy
when it comes to fooling all OF the
people all of the time"
Whether these two statements are
apropos of the coming battle between
Attell and Solomon cannot be determ-
ined here. The wise guy never let's his
foot slip in the same puddle twice, so
unless the dope is screwy Attell and
Solomon should put up a good battle.
The knockers, of course, will come
through with the old axiom that "once
faker always a faker," but Kid
solomon, to whom they will referI
should be given chance. Not that
| the Kid did not fall when tempted,
but his repentance since then has been
so apparently sincere that the least he
should get is another chance to show
| that he means well.
The Kid has always been a fighter
But whether he can make 122 pounds
and do anything against the clever
Attell is a mooted question. Able
never fails to trim whatever he is up
against, and for a man whose natural
weight is 125 or 126 pounds to attempt
to take off few notches and meet
him at even weights seems extra
ordinary.
| However, Solomon says he can do 1t,
and what is still better he is willing
to back UP his talk with that real
convincer-money. The Kid worked
long and diligently to attain prom
inence, and his climb up the ladder
was attended with real merit until the
little faux pas with one j. Green.
Solomon Is Training
While he has never gone through a
systematic course of training before,
Solomon has buckled down to real
work this time, and at the Heidelberg
Inn. where he and Trainer Kelly are
rusticating, some real feats Of weight
is determined that he will show what
is in him this time, and unless all
signs fail he will be there like duck
when the gong brings him to the
scratch against Attell.
Attell, q natural featherweight if
ever there was one, is putting in some
good licks himself in order to be at
his best when he meets a man Of such
J Well-known hitting powers as Solo,
mon. The champion is hanging out al
the Oakwood Inn, the late home of j
O'Brien, now deceased, and he (not
meaning O'Brien) is getting ready fol-
J real battle. AS rule Attell does
not give his opponent a chance from
the minute he signs articles, but the
tales he has heard of Solomons punch
, has set Able thinking and he will bt
ready for whatever comes.
Between now and the time for the
! | Attell-Solomon mill the pavilion al
Maud Junction will be thoroughly
1 fumigated, and If any of the odors lef
by last Wednesdays affair are still
t floating around the promoters who
