San Francisco, Jan. 4-If Abe Attell
will meet Owen Moran at 122 pounds
four hours before the fight a decisive
battle may soon be arranged. Moran
declared that he could not do his best
work because he was compelled to re-
duce too much.
He found himself pound over weight
early in the morning, and at IL o'clock
order to reduce. He followed that with
an improvised Turkish bath, and when
he did get on the scales at 1890 was
two ounces above 120 pounds. He was
compelled to pay Attell 5000 for this ex-
the end of the fight and If Atte1l had
not been overcautious he could have
gained the decision.
Moran said today he would make 122
pounds four hours before battle, but
not a pound lower. Attelrs friends say
he will meet Moran at 122 ringside, but
not more. The fight receipts were SIS
600. of which 60 per cent went to the
fighters. The boys thus received $4,000
each. a-@--

Though interesting from a scientific
standpoint, lacked the earmarks of a
bout calculated to terminate in a
Knockout. Either man is possessed of
the finishing punch and each landed
on the others vulnerable points with
startling regularity. Yet, neither
scored even SO much as knockdown,

partly from a wallop and partly from
a slip OF the foot.
Wise ones who sat at the ringside

REFORESTATION
 0F FLORIDA LANDS
Trees Will Be Planted In the
 Cut-0ver Districts
PINE SEEDS TO BE SoWED
Owners of the Lands Will Take Up the Work and Continue 1t Under the Directions of the United
 States Forest Service.

Washington, February 23.-CSpecial.) Florida is the latest state to show an interest in reforestation. The United States forest service. at the request of the Dunnellon Phosphate company, has just completed an examination of vast areas of cut-over lands in Marion and Citrus counties to determine the feasibility of forest planting in this section of the Palmetto State.
 While the greater portion of the tract examined is we'll timbered. there was found to be about 5000 acres of sandy brush and grass covered land from which every pine has been cut so that natural reproduction is impossi- ble except on a narrow strip adjoining the forest. If the lands are to be used to the best advantage it will be nee essary to restock this cut-over area by artificial means. The plans out line the most extensive reforestation operations ever begun in the south.
 After a careful study of conditions it was decided that the sowing of long leaf pine seed in spots would be the most practicable method>of accomplish ing this. The growing of this species in nursery. followed by transplanting of seedlings to the field, is not con sidered feasible owing to the long tap roots which are characteristic of the longleaf pine and make transplanting difficult. Experimental planting of the camphor tree, mesquite, and several species of eucalyptus is suggested, since 1t is thought to be entirely prac- ticable from a business standpoint to grow these trees in this region.
 It is probable that the owners of the land will prepare to take up work along the lines recommended immediately The only thing which is likely to threaten the success of planting in this region Is danger from fires. As is the case in all forest work, fire protec- tion must be provided. In foct if 1t were not for the annual burning over, much of the cut-over land in Florida would now be covered with a fine sec ond growth of pine. Even on lands where a few old trees have been left from numbering, the fires which are set annually to improve limited amount of pasturage prevent the growth of seeding trees. While this burning usually has for it's object the improvement of grazing, it must be realized sooner or later that grazing and timber growing cannot be prac- ticed profitably on the same land. It is certain that this burning over does not pay in the long run, even from the standpoint of the owners of stock. since it steadily reduces the productive ca paeity of the soil.
