A BE ATTELL prevented the shat
~ tertng of an idol 1t the National
Sporting Club In New York last
night When in the seventh round Lew
Powell. the red-headed Californian, had
Jack Goodman's left eye closed and
Jack was hanging on the ropes Able
slid noiselessly over to Goodman's cor
ner. Then between the seventh and
eighth rounds Attell poured words of
fight wisdom into Goodman's
Jack fought differently the next round
and saved himself from a complete de-
feat. As tho bout terminated II was a
good draw.
Powell. like many other good fighters
who arc not 'in right" around New
York, hasn't been able to get many
fights since he came from the Golden
Gate. He was about to take a train
homo when he jumped at the chance to
get a crack at he West Side idol.
And then when 1t looked as II Powell
was q sure winner 1t was hard lines to
have another native son.. Attell, rob
him of a sure victory.
In the first five rounds II was all
Goodman and he looked an Easy win
ner. But in the sixth Powell started
and he never let up. The result was
that Jack Qoodman's handsome face Is
sadly marred today. Goodman's friends
admitted that he never received such q
licking. Powell also was cut and bat
tered. All things considered, honors
were even at the end. Powell finished
stronger and would probably have won
In a longer bout.
At the Bedford Club In New York
last night Harry Powers gave Terry
Mitchell, former amateur welter chari-
pion, a hard ten-round beating. Mitch
ell managed to stay the limit, although
he hit the mat in the sixth and again
in the eighth period.
At the Metropolitan Club last. night
Jack DorTnan and. Benny Franklin were

turned up in Harry Stone, Franklin
refused to box.

ishment to tho Chicago man. 7s
At Philadelphia last night the police
stopped the fight between Joe Grim
and Jack Fitzgerald at the Gayety
Theatre in the fourth round, fearing
that the Italian punching-bag was In
danger of losing his life. It is a knock
out. Grim found the going rough from
the start. He was dazed In the first
round, and he took a ~hammering IN the
second which would have killed most
army mules. The third round wit
messed the worst beating Joe Grim has
ever been given in a ring in that city.
F1tz just kept him dazed, waiting to
end the fight with a knockout punch,
| Grim covered his face with his arms
and hung on. Referee Eckert tried des-
perately to separate the men, but the
bell came to Grim's rescue. In the
fourth, after Grim went down several
times, the crowd began to yell stop
it," and the police called a halt.
