GOLDFIELD, New. January 10
Abe Attell last night knocked out
Freddy Weeks in the tenth round
of what was to have been twenty
round bout Weeks was clearly
outclasSed, and although he put up
a game fight. he was unable to es-
cape the terrible onslaughts of At
tell. especially in the last three
rounds.
Attell displayed his usual GOODNESS
and waited until his man had
practically exhausted himself before
using his surplus strength. Three
or four times Weeks went down
from blows to the jaw. The last
one was terrific jab on the chin
that sent him sprawling. The sher-
iff and referee, Mike Graney, at
once concluded it was useless for
Weeks to continue, and the contest
was stopped.
