Abe Attell and Owen Moran have had
one of their periodical spats with the
gloves and | notice that authorities diff
fer as to the merits of the set-to. Some
think the boxing was notable for the
degree of sincerity displayed, while others
believe that Abe and owen, who are un-
doubtedly past masters at the sparrins
game, just did a little clever slapstieS
work to entertain the spectators. To
those who look upon things in this light
Moran and Attell are the Willie Hoppe
or the Ora Morningstar of the pugilistic
belt. i
So far as Moran Is concerned he will
have to furnish up his knowledge of real
hard boxing if the match made for him
with Battling Nelson goes through as
scheduled.
According to the best information the
two lightweights are to appear in San
Francisco in a 20-round bout toward the
end of the present month.
Nelson, who is not altogether satisfied
with the way the papers view his show
ing with Anton Lagrave, is paying par
ticular attention to his training this
Time He feels that IL he fails TO make
good with Moran, who is bona-fide
lightweight, he will have to admit that
he has no further claim on a return
match with Ad Wolgast.
There Is talk in San Francisco Of a
bout between Anton Lagrave and Packy
Mcfarland. Such affair at catch weights
should prove a good card. There is lit
tie chance apparently of Lagrave or Me-
Farland being able to live up to the
conditions of the lightweight class. Each
of them Is a welterweight pure and SIM
pie.

STOCK MARKET Is
VERY HESITANT

New York, November 20.-The lapse Of
the stock market into lethargy last week
marked the state of doubt or indiffer-
ence of the speculation. Organized eff
forts to incite interest and activity met
only with suspicion and charges of manip-
ulation. There were factors in the sit
uation which afforded some assistance to
the advocates of a rise In prices, but
the larger question of capital supplies
and the desrability of affordng time for
the working out of the banking position
overshadowed other issues.
The more immediate money situation
gained in ease both here and abroad
The Bank of England showed the benefit
of the recuperative measures which have
been in force for several weeks in the
large addition to bullion holdings and
the downward tendency Of the private
discount rate was believed to herald a
reduction in the banks official rate. The
Bank of France continued to remit to
Egypt in relief of the requirements on
the Bank of England. 1t was believed
that finance bills of New York bankers
were finding acceptance in Paris as well
and corresponding relief of demands for
credit on New York banks was inferred.
The rise in October exports from this
country to a record level for any month
and the heavy excess value over i'm
ports thus established implied valuable
relief to the exchange market and gave
confidence in the money outlook.

Chicago, November 2o.-Jackson of
Cleveland might have been disputant
with both Lajoie and Cobb for the prize
