HOW ATTELL LAID
FRANKIE NEIL LOW

San Francisco, June 20.-Monte At
tell frightened his grip on the bantam
weight championship of the world at
the Mission street arena yesterday
afternoon by knocking ont frankie

Jaw In the eighteenth round. Attell
was Neil's master from the outset. and
there never was question rs to who
would win. H
Neil put up the worst exhibition.

to be only faint shadow Of the great.
tearing little fighter of four years ago,
He could not hit nor could he block
All he had was his gameness, and this
was not sufficient to cope with the
strength and the skill Of his tireless
opponent.
The finish, though 1t seemed due
was rather unexpected, for the reason
that Neil blew up unexpectedly. In
the past he had shown ability to take
far more punishment than was admin
istered to him yesterday. But In that
eighteenth round he faded away rapid.
ly. He was without a guard or de
tense, and Attell walked around and
measured him with rights and lefts to
the head. A full right swing flush on
the jaw sent Neil to the floor and he
rolled over on his back, a thoroughly
Inundated gladiator.
Referee Billy Roche counted six
over frankie, who was making many
feeble attempts to gain his feet. After
the sixth second had been called Roche
motioned to Attell as the winner, see
ing at glance that Neil was done for.
At the same moment Neils seconds
jumped into the ring and carried their
man to his corner. They also realiz-
ed that he could not possibly rise. He
was punched out and tired out.
Body Punches Bring Victory.
Attell's victory was due chiefly Ia
the systematic body punches which he
kept whipping into the man In front
of him. The little Hebrew was an
adept with both right and left and he
measured Neil often and well. Occa
sionally he played for the head with
both hands, but the body blows were
far more effective than the other wal

than he did the lacing In the stomach
II must be said for Attell that hs
fought grand fight-one OF the hes,
of his career. He demonstrated once
again that he Is splendid ring gen
eral as well as clever boxer and 8
hard puncher. He hardly had a chance
to display his gameness, for the reason
that Neil was never there stronl
enough to put him to a test. Monte
did lot of stalling and seemed to BIZ

rounds. Possibly he could have finish

was not taking any chances. He hat

Neil's showing was really pitifu
one. His punches had none of theil

coul dnot block blow nor make al

simply the remains of once grea
little fighter. This practically settled
him as ring attraction. He complain

but 1t will hardly serve as an excuse.
Though the fight was a one sided
affair;'it had its stirring moments, and
there were many fierce exchanges in
most of the rounds. Neil did the best
he could and bored into Monte On
numerous occasions. However. all
these rushes were very short lived
and lacked force and steam. Neil
never could follow up his advantages.
On a few occasions It appeared as
though he had Attell on his way, but
the latter always came back fast.
Weakness In Fourteenth.
Neil began to show his first real signs
Of weakness in the fourteenth round.
Up to that TIME he seemed to be going
well under the circumstances, but a
few extra heavy rights and lefts to the

lied that Neil was in his power and
he laid for him. His work was clean
cut and well executed and he did not
have to worry or bother himself.
Attell registered the first clean
knockdown In this round, sending
Neil Keeling back from a wicked right
stab In the pit Of the stomach. Neil
went to his corner weak. and Attell
started after him In the next round.
During hot mixup near the ropes
Neil hit the floor again from the eff
fects of a left to the Jaw and sort
Of half shove. He was up on his feet
at, the count OF three and Attell was
right on top of him with both hands
ready. ,..-
During the next three rounds Neil
had absolutely nothing. He would rush
wildly at times, but these did not gain
much for him. Instead of blocking or
guarding, Neil would leave himself
wide open and Attell would measure
him with rights and lefts to the face
and stomach at will. 1t looked as
though Neil was either hopeless or
else was preparing to take the dying
mans chance with some sort of big
swing. But the swing never came
through, for Frankie apparently did
not have the strength to pull II over
Referee Asked to Stop Il.
The sixteenth and seventeenth
rounds were SO one sided that many
of the fans kept calling to Referee
Billy Roche to stop the uneven con
test. Neil wandered around like q
blind man. and Attell coolly met him
every time he turned. Monte varied
his blows from the head to body when
ever he pleased and Neil seemed tC
be powerless to do anything to pro
tect himself. The blows which he did
land on Attell counted for nothing. fol
the reason that they had absolutely
no force behind them.
Neil suffered greatly from the loss
of blood Ere the fight was two rounds
old, Attell had opened up the bad nose
OF his and, in another minute, Neil was
spouting the crimson fluid like foun
tain. His seconds were powerless to
stop the flow. which seemed to gain
momentum, thanks to the jabs which
Attell kept shooting in continuously
The great loss Of blodd apparently had
about as much effect upon Neil as did
the blows of his opponent.

Knives and Forks.
Erom the london Chronicle

From the London Chfonlcie.
Even at so late q period as the 'restora-
ton It was the custom for guests to take
their own knives and forks to banquet.
Pepys records that he did this when he
went to the lord mayors feast In the
Guildhail. IN the previous reign the lord
chamberlain had found 1t necessary to
issue regulations for the benefit OF ofi-
GERS invited to dine at the royal table
They were required to wear clean boots
not to be half-drunk on their arrival, not
to drink more than one goblet to every
two dishes, not to throw the bones under
the table. nor to lick their fingers The
Stuarts undoubtedly did much to refine
English table manners, for 1t was one of
the points admired In Mary Queen of
Scots that the customs she introduced
from France made her court and royal
banquets more exquisite and gentle than
those of her rival, Queen Elizabeth.
AS forks came into use. the Old-time Inn
portance Of the table napkin began to
wane. From being necessity 1t became
luxury on the fastidious use Of which
etiquette has at various times placed
strange values. Under the third empire
in France Saint Beuve brought disgrace
upon himself because at breakfast at the
Tuileries ne carelessly opened his napkin
and placed it over his two knees. To this
he added the crime Of cutting his egg In
two at the middle Court etiquette pre-
scribed that the half-foided napkin should
lie on the left knee and the top of the
egg was to be merely broken with the
edge OF the spoon and drained with this
tip of the spoon. For his failings In these
respects Saint Beuve's name was struck
OFF the imperial visiting list.

Parsley Lore.

From the London Globe.
One of the most curious features IN
parsley lore Is that the plant is tradition
ally connected with both birth and death.
The association with the former. though
familiar enough, is the more mysterious.
All Of us have heard in one form or other
the explanation given by nurses to inquis-
tive children as to the appearance of
new brother or sister: The doctor-or
clerRyman-found him or her In the pars-
ley bed 1t Is possible that some may
see a reference to this widespread fiction
in the Roman folk story "Filinagrata.
But there can be but little doubt that the
origin must be sought for in some of the
Oldest and most universal OF primitive be-
liefs, those, namely. which related to the
sympathetic connection between the fer
tility Of certain forms of plant life and
the increase of the human race. The sub
ject is, however, at once too large and
too recondite to be more than referred to-
The association of parsley with death is
more explicit 1t is pointed out that the
name of the Inflated son of Lycurgus,
from whose blood the plant was fabled to
have sprung, has the meaning Of doom
bYinger," and that this in itself indicated
parsley as ESSENTIALLY a death plant. 1t
was therefore in practically universal use
for strewing the graves of the dead-so
universal, indeed, that it became q con-
ventional phrase with regard to any one
in "articulo mortis" that the next thing
he would need would be parsley (for his
erave)-'.to be in need OF parsley" came

DRY GOODS TRADE.
Advance in Prices Follows Govern,
ment Cotton Report.

ment Cotton Report.
NEW YORK. July 5.-The government
report on the condition Of the cotton crop
has left cotton goods and cotton yarn
merchants no alternative save to mark
up prices, and Friday the movement up
ward began. Tickings were advanced
one-half cent a yard. and notices were
given that bleached sheeting would be
advanced during the coming week. Brown
cottons were marked up from one-eighth
to one-quarter cent yard. Friday aft
ernoon many larse commission houses
withdrew their lines temporarily before
revising them.
The cotton yarn market has been broad
ening a little, but spinners' prices were
higher than dealers could secure from
buyers. SO that trading was limited. In
the month OF June some large sales Of
goods were made and jobbers will go
into the next season fairly well provided
with merchandise that seems very low
priced In view. OF the cotton advance.
Raw cotton Is today 80 per cent highes
than it was at the opening of the jobbing
season In January. Naturally there is
onsidera BILE anxiety felt as to the sue
cess Of distributors and retailers in se-
forced to name.
The country's trade has been broaden
ing on textiles of all kinds, in so far as
II has been reflected here. but q curious
feature has been that; while spot trans
actions were generally light with the
jobbers. the advance orders wore excel
lent. Complaints against the new high
prices In mems wear are coming forward.
but the ordering OF staple goods for
spring has ibeen large. The knit goods
trade was better during the week, staple
hosiery being especially strong. Many
large buyers are to be In the market
