FRANKIE NEIL KNOCKED OUT
Monte AtteII Pats Him 10 the Had I'm
the Eighteenth.

SAN FRANCISCO. Tune 19.-Monte Attell
knocked out frankie Neil in the eighteenth
round OF a scheduled twenty-five-round
battle az Coffroth arena this afternoon,
The contest was for the bantamweight
championship of the United States.
Neil was the aggressor throughout, and
he forced Attell TO break ground time and
time again. His punches lacked their old
time force, however, and in only two rounds
did he appear to have a chance with the
brother OF the fe-atherwelght champion.
Attell had everything. He peppered Neils
nose and mouth with straight lefts, brought
over crushing rights on the jaw. and Occa-
sionaliy raped frankie in the mid-sectlon
with a solid right or left.
The knockout in the eighteenth had been
only a postponed affair from the preceding
round, when the gong saved Neil from de-
feat Neil came out Of his corner in this
round with a trot. but was stopped quickly
with q straight left on the face. He stag
gered around the ring with Attell following
him and sending in hard right and let's to
the Jaw.
No one punch did the work. After a
fusillade of blows Nell sank gradually to
the floor. and was counted out. From the
second round until the final gong Neirs
nose and mouth bled continuously from
Attell's punches.

Y.M.C.A. Athletic
Park Opened
With Much Sport
Many Interesting Contests Are Held
and Some Are Full of
Humor.

Hundreds of young men and their
friends took part in the formal opening
of the new Young Mems Christian ASSOC
citation athletic park at Cutoff lake Sat
urday afternoon. The day was ideal for
all sorts of outdoor sports and, although
Old Sol beat almost straight down, the
cooling breezes from the lake kept every
body comfortable.
A big program of sports was run off,
which took the entire afternoon and fur
nished considerable amusement for the
participants and spectators.
The events started with a run from
the Young Mems Christian association
building in Omaha to the park. 1t was
won by Alex weidenfelt in 20 minutes,
with william Parker second.
Ten contestants battled in the tennis
matches and when the smoke cleared
away r. Newell was found to be the
winner. The other contestants were
Schumacher, Umbarger, Nagl, Wegen-
seller, Longnecker, Higgins. Foster, Alex
ander and Miller.
In the single scull boat race at 200
yards Festner was first; Neavles, sec
ond, and Frankfurt, third.
Neavles and Hill won the double scull
boat race. distance 200 yards, with
Mawhinney and Cohn second and Gun
nlnBnem ana FRANKFURT lnlru.
The ~hurry-scurry race was one of the
novel features of the afternoon. The
contestants were forced to jump into the
water twice from the boats and to dive
under the boats. Olger Rosengren won
the event.
In the long distance dive B. Wendell
was first and Leo Swanson second. No
record was kept of the distance, a fish
pole being stuck in the ground to indi-
cate the farthest dive.
Clarence Wendel won the 1OO-yard
swim, with Pete Wendell second and II
Trustin and Forest Byrd tied for third
The fitting contest was most laugh
able and furnished great sport. Two
men occupied each boat, one to row anc
the other TO tilt with a padded club
The contest resulted in a tie and Trustir
and Swensen both secured a fall by
dumping the other out of the boat.
The club grounds are beautiful. higf
and dry and are being dotted with cot
tages, tents and bungalows. The asso
citation has erected a fine club hous
and also a boat house for the canoes anc
steel rowboats. Some or the member
nave their sailboats at the park. 1t II
expected that a large number will avail
themselves of the opportunity TO use tn
new park.

In the eleventh lap. Chevrolet broke a
valve In a cylinder in such a manner that
it could not be replaced. and he was forced
to run the rest of the day with three
cylinders. which made his performance all
the more remarkable. To offset this mis-

which he and his mechanism handled the

gained him time OF immense value later

The race, which showed an average OF
4e.2e miles an hour, was unusually slow
