Abe Attell. champion of America VINO

weight. Moran was strong and ag-
gressive quick as flash, and kept on
top of Attell all the time. Attell had
plenty OF opportunity to show MS

in his punches, and found IL extreme,

spot Moran's eye was blackened ana
his nose bled, but the punishlng rips
to the stomach and the swings TO the
jaw were missing. Moran's game
was to lead with either right or LETT

he fought viciously. but did not do
Attell much harm. The final round
was most exciting. Moran seemed to

rang. for the close. both men kept
on fighting iercely. and big Jim JEFF
fries had to separate them.
Jeffries decision of a draw was re-
ceived with approval except by vio-
lent partisans.
There came near being no fight,
owing to he fact that Moran was two
ounces overweight. Attell did the
shylock act, and had to be paid $3.50
for the surplus two ounces before he
would consent TO go on.
Moran's manager stated after the
fight that the boy had found Ii ex-
tremely difficult to get down to
weight, and at II O'Clock this morn
ing was compelled to do two miles of
vigorous road work.
While interesting. the contest was
not particularly exciting. and did not
come up to the standard of a cham
pionship battle.
Between 1000 and 5000 persons
witnessed the contest.
Moran manager stated that Moran
would fight Attell and while he
thought Moran had somewhat the
better of the fight, he was satisfied
with the decision.
Referee Jeffries said after the fight
that the contest was so close that he
found it difficult to give a decision
in favor of either man.
He thought Attell had slightly the
better of it, on points, but not suffi-
ciently to Justify decision in his ia
