After an absence of about two years Abe
Attell will star again in a boxing contest in
the local ring when he meets his greatest rival,
owen Moran, in the Maud Junction ring to-
night over the ten-round, no-decsion route.
Always a good card anywhere boxers are
known, Attell will be greeted with large
house tonight the majority of those at the
ringside while friends Of Abe being drawn
there in the expectancy that they will see the
invincible featherweight get a drubbing at the
hands of his classy opponent. Abe has been
so unbeatable since ne became champion of the
world that the fans have grown weary of see
ing him outpoint his opponents like they were
amateurs because Of his sensational speed
and cleverness, and since Moran seems to
be the only boy in the world at his weight
who has a chance of whipping the Hebrew
champ, the Britisher becomes popular instan-
taneously through the hopes of the gang that
wants to see him whip Attell.
The pair will be trying to settle their indi-
vidual supremacy argument for the fourth
time having fought three draws since they
began to argue with Eloved fists. Both are
superlatively clever and fast that moving
picture machine could hardly register their
maneuyerings and leads. Both boys
trained to the minute and knowing just what
sort of a tough game they are up against,
will step into the ring fit to show the best
form of which they are capable. It will be
the prettiest and fastest boxing exhibition
ever staged here, and the intense rivalry be-
tween the boys makes the prospect for a great
mill unusually goood.

draws in other bouts at weights he
will not weigh more than 12l pounds when
he enters the ring, saying that he prefers to
have all his speed and cleverness with him
rather than to pack more weight at a sacrifice.
According TO the terms of the match they are
to weigh in at . o'clock in the afternoon at
124 pounds. This should give Moran an ad-
vantage of at least two pounds at weighing in

bout Notwithstanding this handicap, Attell

With the practical assurance that the main
event will go the limit because neither boxer

arranged. In these prelims boys who have
excellent work in the local ring viii be seen
in action. Paul Sikora and JEFF O'Connell,
pair of young wildcats, VIII open the show
with a sN-round bout. Jimmy Austin, a near
champion in the l05-pound division viii tackle
a tough piece of meat in Battling Chico the
very clever and hard-hitting boxer who made

milling. Young McGOvern, who was rated
as the sure enough bantam champion of the
world until Johnny Coulon broke his heart

Berry, Hatton, practically unbeaten and as
fast and clever as they come. Altogether
the offering for tonight is so classy that no
fan can find a justifable excuse for kicking
In all probability the governor and District
Attorney Fredericks will have a representative
at the ringside to view the proceedings. in
view of the contention Of McCarey and
others who are qualified to speak as exnerts
that the bouts staged at Maud Junction are
boxing contests and not prize fights and
therefore are within the limits of the statute
and city ordinances. Upon what he sees there

dcCarey conducts his shows as he has done
