ABE SHOWS
WELL WITH
PAL MOORE
(1y United Press Leased Wlre)

(6y United Press Leased Wire)
NEW YORK, Dec. Flight fans
today are saying that Abe Attell
is a really great fighter after all,
as the result of the showing he
made in his battle with Pal Moore,
the Philadelphia boxer, at the Fair
mont Athletic club here last night.
Those who were preaching that the
featherweight champion was "all
in" and would be beaten by the
first good man he went up against,
are singing loud in his praise, for
Attell certainly showed that he is
just as much there" as ever.
Attell peppered Moore almost at
will. He stepped around the
Quaker boxer, jabbing him with
rights and lefts, clinched and beat
him to every punch.
Moore weighed in at exactly 1873,
the stipulated weight. Attell
jumped on the scales in his street
clothes and weighed the same. In
ring costume he probably was 10
pounds lighter.

adds that he has his eye on a fine

clubs. Now. Joe. it won't do the
team bit of good to just get your
eyes on these players. Get your

Joseph also tells us that he may
possibly get hold of Howard Mum

turned over to Portland. It
doesn't look probable that the Nc

Mundorff get away from them, but

High Cost Of Living

Alexandra Mcdonald, the oil mill
lionaire, who is confined to his home
by feeble health, made some declara-
tions on the high cost Of living that
will cause some talk and challenge
coming as they do from
one of the original Standard Oil
Magnates. Mr.. Mcdonald, who is
years old, sees no incen-
tive in work that produces nothing
for the future, and declares that there
must be a readjustment somewhere.
In speaking of the subject, he said:
at is becoming impossible for the
wage worker to make both ends
meet. l do not recall when the cost
of living was so high. Wages have
not kept pace with the prices. We
will have TO have a readjustment
somewhere.
1t is not good that the mass Of our
people. should be forced to live a
hand to mouth existence. There is
no incentive in work that produces
nothing for the future. The saving
ability Of our people must not be cur
tailed
l cannot see how the clerk who
must pay the high present prices car
support a family and save at tbs
same time. The results Of such 9
condition cannot be anything bui
bad. 1t discourages marriages
among other things, and those whC
have means are living too extrava
gantly.

fortunately has become a sign Of d
nancial standing. The result is tina
