the management feels certain will
prove of special interest to local
show shoppers. The feature will
be Miss Julie Herne and her asso.

"A Mountain Cinderella" Miss
Herne is the daughter of the late
James A. Herne and is making a
short tour in vaudeville. The
Jewell Manikins, manipulated by
Nine. Jewell and a corps of assist
ants, has been classed as the most
skillful mechanical exhibition seen
on the stage. The Misses Murray
have a song and dance act so far
above the average act of the kind
that it has made them favorites.
Pictures in the Air" is the title of
the attractive aerial act of the
Josselin Trio, who appear in the
west for the first time. Pertina is
dancer whose dancing is declared
to be "the poetry of motion" Frank
White and Lew Simmons are
unique and original and their min
strel offering is said to be a
screamer. Joe Cook and brother
introduce many surprises and
laughable situations in a specially
sketch. Joe Cook, who is only a
youngster, juggles five clubs at a
time. Together with the new mus

NO FEAR
ABOUT ATTELL
COMPETENT CRITICS SAY HE
WILL WIN DECISION OVER MO.
RAN IF MATCHED WITH THE
BRITISHER SECOND TIME

Johnnie Reid, one of the shrewd-
est and best-posted followers of the
ring game in the country, thinks !
Abe Attell has perfect right to in
sist on 1872 pounds ringside as the
weight when he meets Owen Moran
for the second time. Johnnie cannot
see where Moran has any right to
dictate the terms, especially as At
tell is the champion and his title is
at stake, and he reasons it out as
! follows:
while a great many critics all
over the country are roasting Abe
Attell for not agreeing to fight Owen
Moran the second time under con-
ditions laid down b ythe Britisher,
/, for one, think that Abe is pursu-
ing the only just course.
IF the featherweight champion
ship, which is 1872 pounds at fighting
time, was in the possession of one of
our English friends, could you mag
London, getting on a match for the
title, and getting the best of the
weights by about six pounds? Attell
has fought all of the bantams and
featherweights, and some of the well
terweights, and has let them come in
at any old weight, but when he is
defending the American champion
ship title, he names the weight as
1872 pounds at the ringside, which is
the proper thing to do.
"Attell is the cleverest fighter in
the prize ring. When he signs up to
meet a man he knows deep down in
his hart that he is going to meet
that man more than once. Attell
uses his first fight as a feeling out
process. Take some Of Attell's good
fights and look them over. His first
, fights with such good men as Tom
my Feltz, Johnny Regain, Harry

J Frank Carsey and Jimmy Dunn were
all good ones. But Attell fought al
