VICTOR IN
10 ROUNDS

BY Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 31.-Abe At
tei' champion featherweight Of Ameri-
CD tonight gave frankie Neil of this
city such an unmercifuI beating that
the latter's seconds, fearing serious in
jury entered the ring and threw uB
the sponge in token of defeat.
Inc hsht throughout was most spec
taeuiar. Attell started out early in the
iisnt 70 give his opponent systematic
beating In the first six rounds Neil
scarcely landed blow on his clever
ana nilrble adversary, while on the
other hand Attell peppered Neil's face
with lef and right jolts and uppercuts
that almost snothered the local fighter
and caused his face to puff out consid-
erably.
In the seventh round Neil, by a lucky
punch, opened a deep cash over the
5epreW right eye, from which the
blood flowed in a stream. This nettled
Attell, and, throwing discretion to the
winds. he mixed it, only to be worsted
at this style of fighting.
Neil electrified the crowd in this and
the succeeding round by bringing the
fight to AtteH and forcing him all
around the ring. Neil landed several
wicked left hooks to the jaw in the
eighth round, and after that Atten
fOhSilL very WdTlly.
The ninth round was of the whirl-
wind oder, both men administering
considerable punishment.
In the eleventh, however, AtteIl again
took command Of the situation, and
from that time on Neil scarcely landed
a punch. Attell fioored his man with
right to the chin In this round, and IN
the twelfth, after giving him most
severe pummeling. sent Nell SPRAYING
TO the floor for the count of six. Neil
was groggv when he arose, and this
was the beginning of the end.
There had been two minutes fought
IN the thirteenth round when Spider
Kelly stepped into the ring and said
to the referee:
This fight ought to stop. Neil is
hurt. He complains of his head spin
ming and ought not to go on
AS soon as the referee declared At
tell the winner, the elder Neil rushed
wildly around the ring, claiming the
whole proceeding an outrage; that It
was plain that Neil could have contin-
ued fighting.
1t, was palpdble, however, to those
present that Neil would have been
knocked out in short order had the
bout been allowed to continue. He was
groggy and apparently all at sea.
After the fight Neil said: II was not
beaten l was willing to take ten
punches in order to deliver one. He
had none the best of me. and / believe
Z would have settled him sooner or
later"

MURPHY WINS FROM
SCALER IN PRELIM
BY Associated Press.

DREAMLAND RINK. SAN FRAN
CISCO, Jan. 31.-Johnny Murphy was
given the decision over Kid Scaler in
ten-round preliminary to the Attell-
Neil fight tonight at Dreamland rink.
This contest, which was announced for
the lightweight championship of the
Pacific coast, equaled the interest
taken in the main event.
1t was a hard, grueling contest
throughout. Murphy, who was the
heavier by four pounds, was the ag-
gressor all the way and landed the most
forceful and telling blows Near the
end of the seventh round, which was all
in Murphys favor, Scaler landed a
righVvery low. Murphy claimed a foul
and the bout was stopped for five min
utes while doctors examined the pro-
testing pugilist. The claim finally was
disallowed and the men were ordered
TO continue.
Murphy had all the better of the two
concluding rounds and clearly earned
the decision. Scaler was the favorite
m the betting at 10 to z. Murphy, being
over weight, was compelled to relin-
quish his forfeit.

MOTORING


The race between the Haynes and
the Packard roadsters that was seized :
uled to come off at Santa Monica yes
terday morning did not take place.
The machines tried out the course,
but as the Haynes came back TO line
up at the start the gear on the mag
neto stripped, leaving only smaii
percentage of the teeth on the wheei,
and as part of the teeth on the cam
shaft gear stripped at the same time
the Haynes was put out OF commas
sion and was towed back.
Six or seven cars went down with
parties to see the sprint and the
course and weather were ideal for the
contest. AS Mr.. Stimson is to ship
his car today to Seattle there is no
chance for the race to be pulled off
this winter The roads between this
city and Venice are in miserable con-
dition, so the proposed race between
the Haynes and the Stearns will prob
ably be postponed for some time, until
the road can be fixed up.
This afternoon and evening the Max
well branch will receive in the new
quarters. The garage and salesroom
have been put in shape for the occa-
sion and extensive preparations have
been made for the entertainment Of
the many guests that are expected to
attend.
The rainy weather has kept many
of the motorists in town for the past
several days, and some of them are
getting anxious to get out and around
in their gasoline buggies again.
Billy Reuss, for one, has become
restless because of the inactivity in
automobile circles and will do a stunt
or two just as soon as the condition
of the roads will permit.
AS he usually brings back what he
starts after, there may be something
interesting in sight for the near fu-
ture that will add 10 the news from
Automobile row.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Jan. 81.
The first track meet of the season
was held this afternoon. The meet was
a handicap affair and the distances were
shortened. Good time was made in
many events and the freshmen showed
up well.

beat Miller in the quarter; Adams beat
Maundrell in the two mile, and ]. Il.
Thompson OF San Francisco won the
half in good shape.
Martin cleared five feet nine inches
in the high jump. Bradford, Reed and
Holman made the best showing OF the
old men. Crazy, promising performer
from Harvard school, broke tendon
in the quarter and will probably be
unable to compete for some time.

nubiic guessing as to the ultimate
winner. De Arman has two represent

Creston and Ally Early Tide, and they

SPORTING GOSSIP.

The fight at Los Angeles between
Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt
was rather a disappointment. Of
course none of the wise ones ex-
pected Knockout, but they did ex-
pect better fight, and hardly looked
for such tame affair. The dis.
patches announce that Nelson did
not land over a dozen blows of any
consequence, while Britt was con-
been to finish there would undoubt-
eddy have been a different story to
tell. However, Bat and James Ed
ward got the coin, and that was the
main thing, from their point of view.

Among the other successful con-

realms of full-hedged maturity, none
is more essential than a place OF

Indicating at once necessity and lux
ury such places find responsive well
come in the hearts OF the epicure and
the ordinary citizen.
Salt Lake boasts of many places ut
once select and comfortable, among
the very best being the Louvre, which
is. both convenient and sequestered.
This pretty place has all the features
required in the foregoing. Its cuisine
is complete, its service excellent and
it in every way exemplifes energy
and modernity. Making a specially
of its uncheons-though but an inte-
grail part of its complete details-it
makes a bid to the favor of the gen
eral public.
Realizing that the MONDAY time is
tie busy time, its location being
valuable accessory, located as it is in
the business center of the city, the
ouvre is making successful bid 70;
the corraling of the majority of that
trade. While music is ever welcome,
this feature is doubly valuable when
accompanied by all the little luXuries
that go toward satisfying the inner
man. And the Louvre has good
music, the best of service and every
thing that generally goes with the
best cafes of the larger eastern and
western cities.
A luncheon at the Louvre is a treat
at once a necessity and a pleasure.

Sixty-Two Story Building.

New York, July 2.-The huge
new home of the Equitable Life
Assurance society, the plans for
which are in the hands of Superin-
tendant Murphy, of the bureau of
buildings, will tower so far above
the adjacent buildings as to COM
pletely dwarf them. Real estate
experts say that the plans for the
mammoth structure, which will
occupy the site of the present
Equitable Life building, will
have so stories and height of 906
feet, have been filed at tnis time
in order to circumvent any legisla-
tion which might be recommend
appointed by the board of alder
men for the restriction of the height
of buildings.
The drawing of the plans alone
was stupendous task. Draughts-
men say it must have taken $50
men six months at least to over
come the difficulties in the way
of such structure. The estl-
mated cost of this task by itself
is $3.50, 900, and the building when
completed will cost from $l5, ,OOO,.
900.
The great folios of drawings
number 70 in all each one measur-
ing four by five feet. Engineer
j. p. Whiskeman, to whom was
assigned the difficult task of exam
lining and approving them, will be
busy for nearly month before he
can pass upon them.
A feature of the plans is the
elaborate system of wind braces
which will affect every floor from
the sixty'second to the ground.
The plans were filed by D. H.

tects.
