ABE ATTELL WINS
SCANT VICTORY

Memphis, December 6.-Abe Attell,
champion featherweight fighter of the
world, was forced to extend himself to
the limit to secure a decision over
Charlie White of Chicago in an eight
round contest before the Phoenix club
here tonight. The decision was unpop-
ular.
At long range White had all the bet
ter of the fighting, landing right and
left to the champions head and body al
most at will, but his blows seemed to
lack steam, and only once did he stag
ger Attell. Attell forced the fighting
throughout the clinohes and punished
White severely with short arm jabs to
wind and head.
White proved himself worthy opponent
of the champion, dancing away from his
rushes and taking little punishment.
Atteu was the first to show blood, a
vicious uppercut landing flush on his
mouth. Not until the last round did he
draw blood from Whites nose and
mouth.
The eighth round was the fastest, both
men fighting hammer and tongs from
bell to bell.
1t was on Attells superior mitigating
that Referee Harry Barry based his de-
cision, which was hooted by many of the
audience.

The most interesting announce
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was UNI
doubtedly that made a month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success. and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid

Kansas City, was 1880 miles. This
vas certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi-
sion of observers named by those
who entered other contrasting cars.
Therefore, 1t would have been impos-
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a6aplt without

The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650-mile public
test and the advantages gained
through its use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent Of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion of
the tour:
"A feature of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene. or coal oil, as fuel instead of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 2650.mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First Of
all, as regards cheapness. the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
er per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
it was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew of the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining, its fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or smell. Fourthly.
kerosene could be purchased at what
ever part of the route was most con-
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

signed to the White so that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring a damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in,/
fiicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absoluteS
ly perfect score"
A particularly interesting featu
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple of
minutes; but SO completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that 1t IL
not believed that any purchasers will
care to use gasoline.

Describing the return journey. Dr..
Cook said:
Fortune now smiled. We did
twenty miles per day until we reached
the ominous eighty-seventh degree.
Then l felt the ice moving eastward,
carrying us with it. A terrible fog
swept around us and kept us for three
weeks. We got no further than the
eighty-fourth degree. Then began q
heavy walk toward Helbergsland and
another three weeks of fog. When that
cleared l saw we had drifted south
west to Ringnesland, where we found
open water and tower-high screw ice,
which stopped our way eastward.
1--WE now began to suffer hunger.
Our provisions were becoming ex.
hausted and we were unable to find
depots. We entered Ringnesland and
on June 20 found the first animals OF
our return-bear and seal. We shot
bear.
And now our goal was the whal-
ers at Lancaster Sound. We followed
the drift ice to the south.
" We were stopped by pack ice in
Wellington channel, which was impas-
sable either by boat or sledge.
Here was lots of game, but we
did not dare shoot 1t. We had only
taken 100 bullets to the pole, and now
only fifteen were left. We went into
Jones' Sound after walrus and bears
and found open. calm water. We met
polar wolves, with which some of our
dogs made friends and ran away.
Now we spent day and night in
an open boat ten miles from shore.
This lasted for two months, while
storms often ragged over our heads. AT
last we got ashore again, but we had
no fuel and were obliged to eat I'M
cooked food. Next day we found fuel,
and what feast we had. But we SUI
fered much hunger during this period.
One night bear came and stole our
food. We had many fights with musk
oxen which attacked US. Our best
weapon against them was the lassoo'.'
The correspondents story quotes
DR.. Cook as saying in conclusion:

provisions stores at Etah was a great
