horizon of battle.
Instead of finishing the fight in
blaze of glory and boring in as they
did the last time, both the Yankee and
the Englishman clinched and hugged
one another during the final round
without striking an effective blow.
Neither was a bit under the weather or
in danger of taking the count. AttelI
was unmarked, while Moran had a
slight cut over the left eye and sore
nose as souvenirs of the tame engage
ment-
Judging from what Attell has done
here within the last year. he did not
fight his fight yesterday. He was never

virtually every round, but his on
slaughts were feeble attempts and not

Attell In distress. Everybody who saw
the first fight between the men on New
Years day will admit that the Britisher
fought better then.
AS usual in close finishes both men
declared that they had been given the
worst OF the decision. Attell said that
ne had won so far that the verdict of

tory was his because Of his aggressive
tactics. According to the little Brit
isher, he broke his right hand in the
second round and was sadly handi-
There was no thrill, no excitement,
nothing to give intense interest to the
battle. though before the men entered
typical championship mill There was
the immense crowd. the lively betting
and the perfect weather. The fighters
spoiled all this with their Indifferent
work.
The combat proves that in order to
settle once and for all the champion
ship of the world in the feather weight
division Attell and Moran must fight to
hnish or else make up their minds
TO adopt the Nelson style of milling be-
fore entering the ring. They could
battle hundred times like they did
the crown would be in doubt.
ATTELL LEADS OFF WELL

rounds, shooting his left to Moran's
head at will and dancing away as

in a bit and put over a few wallops

he sailed in himself
The little Britisher probably was do

showed a willing spirit to mix with

settled the strife; but Attell demon

Even Fight Throughout
By Referee Welsh

"HERE was no other verdict
but a draw decision which
could render and be fair
TO both men. The battle
was evenly waGed through
out and to decide championship
on such a close margin would not
be right. Attell had a slight lead,
as he did the cleaner work. He
was the cleyerer boxer and scored
cIeanly. Moran, however, evened
1t up by his aggressive tactics
and his willingness TO mix 1t at
any time. There was no time in
the contest that either fighter ap-
peared to be I'm trouble and as
there was not kn0ckdown

II throughout the fight and

when he visited me few days

went the limit. He said he would
call it a draw If the fight was
close, but If either man had de-
eided advantage he would give n
