he must be at his best form to win.
The small difference in weight is not
expected to be of such great Importance
as it really appears to be, as the boys
are so speedy and clever that they will
depend more upon these tests rather
than upon the ability to slug. Welsh
probably has sitter punch than At
tell, and at close quarters he prooaoiy
will do greater damage in this line, but
the foxy Attell hardly will do any great
amount of mixing and will seek to
make it test of cleverness, speed ana
generalship. in all of which depart
ments he yet has to find his equal
Undoubtedly the battle will develop
into a dizzy whirlwind of gloves and Il
contest for points. Neither boxer
should be forced to accept any severe
punishment, both being great ring gem
erals and so speedy that it viii be al
most impossible for either to get to the
other squarely with a punch that VIII
hurt very much. Both boys are game,
however, and have demonstrated their
ability to wallop and be walloped, and
yet go on and win because of their
class and superior eleverness and speed
and generalship.
Jeffries foresaw that it would be a
heartbreaking pace that must be FOL
lowed throughout by the referee, and
he does not anticipate that either will
win by a knockout, so he did not care
to risk his peace of mind and his repu-
tation as a referee by trying to pick
the winner at the end of the bout. The
referee will have to be human flea
while the battle is in progress and will
have to do some tall sprinting and side
stepping to keep out of harms way. AS
neither boy hardly will win by any
great margin the referee will find him
self for once earning his fee in tackling
Job that almost certainly will be a
thankless one and one that will be
featured by the objections that will be
fled against his decision. Charlie
Eyton will adjudge the merits of the
battle and he is stout-hearted enough
to undertake the thankless job and
competent enough to fill it.
Attell still rules slight favorite, de-
spite that the odds are switching around
with every big bet, almost. Attell gen
orally is held at 10 to 8, and several big
bets have been made on Welsh as the
shortender. The average bettor is OF
the opinion that even money should
prevail, but the big bettors are wei
divided in their opinions and the Welsh
hackers are swapping up the shorten6
Offering in a liveier manner than II
the last week, while there is consider
able Attell money in sight now to be
placed at these odds,
/ Both boys have gone through hare
siege of training and neither has over
| looked any detail that would contribute
to his condition and increase his
chances of winning. AS each announces
that he is perfectly trained and in thu
best condition of his life, there will bt
little chance for excuses after the battle
if either is defeated. Attell figures thai
he has all to gain and nothing to lose
as he is going out of his class to boz
the classiest and cleverest Lightweight
in the business, and it is because h'
reasons thus that he was willing t
make the match and take the chance o.
defeat involved any time a fighter
takes on heavier opponent.

Court Declares He Cannot Restrain

Lny Assoeiated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24-The ap-
plication by John J. Gleason for an
injunction to prevent Papke and
Ketchell from fighting on Thanksgiv-
ing under the auspices of James J.
Coffroth's club was refused by Judge
Seaweu today. The contest therefore
will be held as scheduled.
When the case was called the court
room was filled with attorneys, promo
tiers, pugilists and others interested IN
the outcome. On behalf of Promoter
Gleason it was argued the court mad
the authority and would be Justified III
restraining Coffroth from taking any
action calculated to divert patronage
from the applicant.
Judge Seawell declined to entertain
any arguments relating to any matter
except the issuance of an injunction
against the participants in the proposed

evident the decision would be based
upon we'll established authorities.

w HILE no world championship title
w is involved in the I5-round battle
W tonight at Vernon between Abe
Attell and Freddie Welsh, the fans gem
orally concede that it will be the
classiest exhibition of fast and scien-
tific boxing that ever was staged any
where and inasmuch as it will bring
together the featherweight champion
of the world and the lightweight cham
pion of England, who admittedly are
the cleverest boxers in their respective
divisions there is every justification
in the belief that no, prettier, classier or
more furious battle between the little
fellows ever resulted than that which
will be witnessed by the fans tonight.
Atten will box the classiest opponent of
his career and will be giving away
half a dozen pounds in weight, yet he
is confident he will win. Welsh, also, Will
stack up against more class than he
ever tackled before in his ring career,
and YET his confidence is mistaken by
the knowledge that he is to box the
wizard of the ring.
Many fight promoters had dreamed Of
some day matching up this pair of hui
man whirlwinds, but Baron Long was
the only one who went out after it and
got it. The cleverness, speed and gem
eralship of Attell always has been
acknowledged as being so superlatively
great that he was in a class by himself
in the lighter divisions, but when Welsh
showed up in Los Angeles last spring
he opened the eyes Of the pugilistic
world by his remarkable cleyerness and
speed, and in his later battles he en-
phasized the suspicion that he would
be a worthy opponent of Attell. After
seeing him in action several times, with
continued improvement all the time, the
fans began to talk of an Attell- Welsh
match, and finally this talk developed
into a positive demand that the two
clever little boxers should meet and
box for the boxing championship of the
lighter divisions. This match is the
result of that demand.
To the credit of each it must be said
that there is nothing but the supremest
respect between them, and while
neither fears the other each knows that

sTATEMENT OF ATTELL

You can say for me that l

ing beating at this time. OF
course, l know that ] am tack
ling no ordinary lightweight

proved many times that 1 can
go out of my class and win,
and expect to do so again
when l meet the cleverest
lightweight in the business.
NV condition is highly salts

lacking that / could wish for
that would be of any aid to me
unless it be that I would ask
for a few more pounds. l pre-
fer to fight a good one, rather
than a dub, any time, and |
know that if Welsh wins I will
not lose any prestige, as l am
going out of my class to meet
the cleverest and speediest
lightweight in the ring. l
shall make the fight of my life
and am in condition to do it"
Abe Attell.
STATEMENT OF WELSH
II am pleased at the oppor-
tunity to box Attell because 1
believe 1 will defeat him and
am frank to admit that to do so
would add materially to my
prestige as a boxer, as l would
be the only lightweight in the
business~with that record, and
as Attell recently held Nelson
to a 15-round draw, victory
for me over Attell would put
me in a position to force Mel
son to recognize my claims
upon his attention. There is
nothing lacking in my condi-
ton and I am delighted with
the results of the training pc
Rod. I have developed my
speed and punch and never felt
so confident of winning hard
battle in my life. I know posi-
lively that he cannot beat me
and I feel absolutely certain
that I shall win. I will be I'M
der the weight when we step
on the scales, and it has been
decidedly easy for me to do the
poundage without affecting my
condition or dulling my speed.
This is a great opportunity for
me and I intend to make the
most of it."-Freddie Welsh.

actively urge the passage Of the bills
looking TO. the establishment OF nsh

In discussing the forest situation Mr..
wallace before leaving said:
The Western hemisphere when dis
covered was land OF superb sylvan
profusion. In the process Of cIviliza-
tion and preparing the lands for cul-
tfvation, the settlers devasted the for
ests with unreasonable energy. Some
OF the timber was employed to erect
their homes, while many million dol
lars worth OF logs were burned.
In subsequent years. when this he
misphere became well populated the
demand for lurnb Der was 80 great that
vast tracts OF virgin forests were
bought up and the saw mills utilized
vast areas Of useful timber trees. The
supply OF trees at the inception of this
crusade for lumber seemed so great
that NO thought was given to vhe fu-
fnre. Had the forests been cut with
a view to leaving trees that would
some day make lumber. the time would
never come when the lumber supply
Tor saw milling purposes would be en-
tirely exhausted.
So startling have become the con-
ditions relative to our lumber sup
ply that the whole country has awak-
ened to the reality that unless a speedy
matt y called and unless the people de-
mand some activity looking to the
propagation. OF useful timber trees that

The citizens on Perry Street have
spoken in loud tones for its improves
ment They have filed with the City
Council q petition signed by eighty
seven property owners TO have the
street railway removed as a prelimi-
nary OF making it a beautiful boule-
ward. The movement is very timely
in view Of the frightful condition OF
part of the street and the agitation In
favor OF paving it with asphalt or
bitulithic.
Those who know say that there 10
not one-third as much pleasure driv-
ing on Perry Street as there was be-
fore the street railway was laid. "A
few years ago the Traction Company
contracted with the City Council to
transfer its track to Lawrence street
on ninety days notice from the Coun-
ell and the grant of a franchise over
the extension of Lawrence Street. That
street has recently been graded to
Clanton Street and needs only bridge
over Genetta Ditch TO open It to the
public.
The county oHicials are preparing
some fine drives to the southwark.
and Perry Street is the logical outlet
to them. Work is progressing rapidly
on the extension of Court Street for
two miles south from the city limits
to connect with the Old Plank Road,
ana upon Perry Street to Fairview Av-
eAue. It is expected that Fairview
Avenue will sooh be gravelied from
Cleveland Avenue to Norman Bridge
Road. With Perry street improved. a
system will be provided by which one
may go by Fairview Avenue either to
Norman Bridge Road. Court Street ex-
tension or Cleveland Avenue. giving
the choice or combination of three fine
drives besides a direct road by Wood
ley Road TO the Methodist College.
1t Is believed that the City Council
will promptly grant the petition and
proceed to make Perry Street the bou-
levard it deserves to be. The petition
is as follows. the first forty-two names
being. Of owners Of property fronting
on the track sought to be removed. ana
the others owning property on other
portions OF South Perry Street. and te
is said TO represent fully So per cent
OF such persons.
