ABE ATTELL BEATS
YOUNG ED KELLY.

San Francisco, Feb. 2s.-Abe Attell,
the American featherweight champion,
tonight practically knocked out Ed
Kelly, the Buffalo Newsboy," in the
seventh round of scheduled 24-round
bout. The Californian hoored his man
four times in this round with wicked left
clouts on the jaw, and the police
stepped into the ring and stopped a
very uneven contest.
Throughout II was a case of the pol
ished and scientific boxer against the
more rugged slugger, and science won
out. The men fought at a very fast
clip from the tap of the initial gong
until the end, Kelly surprised the
crowd by showing great cleverness dur
Ing the fight, and there were several ex-
citing mixups that brought the crowd
to Its feet.
The first two rounds were practically
even. Atell contented himself with
blocking and side stepping the eastern
er's defense. In the third and fourth
rounds. Attell, finding that his OPP
ponent lacked power, did not pay very
marked attention to his defense. and as
result Kelly landed several good
blows that gave him the advantage in
these rounds.
The men mixed 1t furiously in the
SIXTH Attell doing great execution with
straight rights TO the Jaw and lefts to
the stomach. Kelly fought back game
ly and succeeded in bringing the blood
from Attell's nose as the gong ended
the round.
Attell came up confident and grin
ming in the seventh round. He rocked
Keily's head with right and left short
arm jolts to the jaw, and Kelly went to
the floor from this bombardment. He
took the count of seven. Attell quickly
sent him to the mat again with n SINH

count of seven.

In an attempt to formulate some plan
whereby. the betting at race tracks
might be so conducted as to do away
with the objections which have caused

dress before mass meeting under the
auspices OF the newly organized Cali
fornla Anti-Race Track league at the
First Congregational church of Berke-
ley last night, President David Starr
Jordan OF Stanford university discussed
Dissipation and the Struggles Against
It," condemning gambling. smoking
and drinking. and overturned the gem
orally accepted theory OF heredity.
You are beginning a fight against
the race track and its attendant evils"
he said. ut is the right OF the people
10 suppress these evils, just az much as
IL Is their right TO make laws govern
Ing conditions OF sanitation. one of
the main evils attendant upon the life of
the race track Is dissipation OF various
kinds. due 10 the fact that the gamb-
Ter leads not healthy life, fun of ao-
tivities but one full OF nervous excite
ment, resulting In nerve waste. His
outlook upon life is bad. The doctors

est enemies Of lntemperanoe, for they
know the harm It works upon the sys-
TEN. This Is on the basis OF economies
and not OF morals"
In dealing with heredity In connec-
tion with vice he said:
Every child comes into tho world free
born, BY this ! mean that he is all
his father and mother should be. There
fore brought up in the right conditions,
he has a good chance OF becoming u
worthy citizen, not subject to vice"
