ABE ATTELL THE REAL TOPSY
OF THE AMERICAN FIGHTERS

How did Abe Attell win the
featherweight championship? is a
question which will stump quite a
few of the fistic fans.
Abe is like Topsy, he just grew
into it, he never won the title, but
there is no doubt that he earned it
and that it will be some time be-
fore anyone beats him at weight.
The first q men who drew on
the gloves against the little fellow
from California went to sleep or
quit. and among them was Eddie
Hanlon, who afterward became ia
nous as the toughest lightweight
in America.
Eight years ago he met George
Dixon and fought him a Is round
draw, and then came Buddy Ryan,
who. after the bout, grew so big he
attempted to take the welterweight
crown. Attell met Harry Forbes,
then a Boston boss, and after Is
rounds he secured an even break
Terry McGovern could no longer
make the bantamweight limit and
he turned the title over to Danny
Dougherty, his pal. who lost it to
Forbes, and Attell promptly
knocked out Forbes and won the
title. This was in 1904 in st.
Louis.
Attell demonstrated what a won
dertul fighter he is by meeting

Murphy, Battling Nelson, Fred
Welsh, Owen Moran and Tommy
O'Toole.
The Terrible Terry McGovern
had been slain by Young Corbett
and was out of the running and in
poor health. Corbett began to grow
portly and could no longer make
better than 12S pounds at o'clock
on the day he fought. This was
too near the lightweight limit and
while Corbett was meeting Jimmy
Britt, Eddie Hanlon, Young Erne
and Battling Nelson, Attell pound
ed on the press and was granted by
sort of consensus of opinion the
featherweight claims.
Attell is only %. He was born
in Los Angeles. He is a Jew.
Once in all his ring career he has
been knocked out, then by Brook
Ign Tommy Sullivan in St. Louis
in 1904. Two years later Sullivan,
realizing what he had lost by not
following up the knockout of Attell
by claim for the featherweight
title, met Attell in a six round draw
in Alton, Ill. Attell took another
chance with the man who once
put him to sleep in Frisco in 1908.
He knocked out Sullivan in four
rounds.
His ring career consists of over
hundred battles.

1t is extremely difficult to choose
a play and style it the most SEN
sational you ever saw, especially
when you have been in the game
for IS years. Every season a stunt
is pulled off which is classed among
the freakish and sensational plays
of the national sport, while many
seasons are remembered by start
ling plays which stand out dis
tinctly above the ordinary work of
the diamond.
When the sensational play ques-
ton was sprung on me l immedi-
ately thought of play which might
better be styled "freakish.'
Rockenfield, the infielder who
was turned over to Tacoma by Bob
Brown in exchange for Kippert,
Duke Carter. a pitcher, and John
McCloskey, then manager of Ia
coma, We're the participants in a
play at Tacoma in 1901 which was
the most freakish performance I
ever witnessed on the diamond.
Rockenfield, who played center
field in those days, came to bat
with man on second and one
gone. Duke Carter was dishing
out the benders and McClosky was
holding down the first corner.
Rocky slammed a sizzler to Duke,
the ball striking the L.tcher on the
knee. glancing and popping into
McCloskey's mitt. Mac got his
man at first, tossed the sphere to
second and completed a double play
the runner failing to get back in
time to save himself.
ROCkENFlELD'S GREAT CATCH.
Rockenfield made a catch that
year on the Seattle grounds which
takes first honors among the many
| have seen. 1t was not one of
those jump-on-the-fence stunts.
double-somersault, or anything of
the kind, but one of those terrific
sprints with the ball, a final dive
into the air, and the return to earth
with the ball clutched between two
fingers.
1t is hard to describe such a play.
particularly when it is devoid of
such features which ordinarily go
to make readable sensational

BASEBALL STOCK TABOOED in 1899;
BANKS EAGERLY GRABBED 1T IN 1909

Nothing that could be said can
better demonstrate the remarkable
growth of baseball during the last
10 wears than the statement recent
" made by President Barney Drey-
fuss of the Pittsburg club, showing
the changed conditions in the
financial end of the game in that
short period. Dreyfuss expert
ence is that 10 years ago he could

PERSONAL STORIES OF MEN
IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Here's one reason Abe Attell has
been so successful. The feather
weight limit, 1872 pounds, just fits
Abe. He doesn't have to train to
make the weight. At 1872 he is at
lis strongest. Most of the other
boys are either under 122 and
thereby not SO strong or they have
become weak by chopping flesh
off.
Attell is like a cat with a mouse.
His eyes shine like brilliant beads
and seem to hypnotic an opponent.
His foOtwOrk used to be wonderful
and even the cleverest opponents
looked like ounces alongside the
shifty Hebrew. Four years ago and
no man in the world within five
pounds of Attell's weight had a
chance with him in the ring.

Is Paul Brown, the right handed

Much depends upon the answer
time will give to this question.
Should Brown fulfill the expecta-
lions of Frank Chance, captain
manager of the Chicago Cubs,
Brown will do much toward bring
ing that 1910 bunting to Spokane.
Picked up from semi-profes-
sional team in Minneapolis last
year, Brown pitched two games
against Philadelphia, winning both
contests. He showed up in great
form, but Chance considers that an
other year of seasoning is what the
youngster needs to develop him into
full fledged major league material.
