Jack o''Neii
Both Nelson and Attell showed the
marks OF their encounter of the pre-
vious r+.sht when saey appeared on the
streets yesterday. Attell was the more
marked up of the pair, which must be
taken as an indication that Nelson has
improved materially as boxer. Any
damage he inflicted on Attell was with
his hands and not with his. head, as
Referee Eddie smith had warned him
about this. and he made no attempt to
take advantage of his opponent. The
more many of the spectators thought
of Nelson's showing against so clever
a boxer as Attell. the more credit tflsy
gave him for putting up a wonderful
fight.
back. He has gained wonderfully in
boxing skill and has possibly lost some
Of his old rugged strength. He fell off
Unexpectedly in weight the last day,
and this may have taken some of the
strength out OF him.
Nelson explained the fact of his hit
ting after the bell sounded on the
ground that he did not hear it. Attell
evened scores in this matter by hitting
Nelson at the end of one of the rounds.
Nelson complains that Attell tried to
throw him from the ring platform in
the fourteenth round. He claims to
have had his opponent in this position
several times. but on each occasion he
held back when he saw there was a
chance of Attell going to the floor of
the pavilion.
The receipts of tha fight were sS,495.
OF this the fighters were to receive so
per cent, or S5.09T. There was an ad-
dftionai 8 X per cent bonus which Mel
son says he did not receive, so ii is
reasonable to expect that it went TO
AtteH as an extra inducement for him
TO inter into the match. The expenses
of promotion were heavy and it is not
likely that Sam Berger made much
profit on his first show. The fact that
he managed it successfully helps salve
any monetary loss.

mon Mining Company has definitely

Company announces that it will mar

the syndicate has taken the output of
