ATTELL'S
WORK WAS
VERY EASY
Patsy Kline Made Poorest Show
ing in Fourth Trial at Abe's
Title Last Night.

Ten rounds of fighting at the Ma
tional Sporting Club last night with
Abe Attell proved to Patsy Kline that
at the present time he is in no fit con-
dition to lay claim to the featherweight
title. Kline fought his best. but at
no stage was the ~eleven-year cham
pion in danger of being dethroned, At
tell is still king of the featherweights,
and it will take a much stronger man
than Kline to wrest the title from him.
-Four times has Kline been in the ring
with Attell, but on no previous oo-
casion did he make such a poo show
ing as he did last night.
There are many who say Atteil has
gone back. but one may rest assured he
is the same cunning fighter hat he
was many years ago when he was
fighting his way TO the top. In the
first fight between the two lads. Kline
was able to land some of his singing
lefts, but also in the fight last night
Attell proved that he was still able
to get away from the best that Kline
carried.
After the first round it was apparent
that Attell was the master at every
style of fighting.
Patsy had trained faithfully for the
affair, and when he entered the ring
he looked as fine as a fiddle. Attell
was on the scene of battle early, and
watched all the preliminary bouts from
q box. When he thought it time to
go on he simply went to his dressing
room, and after a light rundown ap-
peared on the scene. From the first
round to the final gong of the tenth
Attell had things his own way, and
when pressed he proved to the
thronged house that he could get away
with any old sort OF battle.
The fourth round was the only round
in which Attell was forced to do any
real work. Kline, waiting his chance,
slipped over a left, which did seem to
make Abe feel rocky. After that he
just tore in and the spectators were
treated to a slamb-bang dash In which
both boys tried hard to clean up. At
tells great trick of making a man miss
was never better displayed than last
night. 1t was shown to such good adj
vantage that the followers of Kline
were disappointed with the showing of
their favorite.
No credit should. however, be taken
from Kline, for he did his best. He
tried time after time to land the blow
that has made him famous. but he was
always just a few inches short. He at
times tried to box and "a fairly sue
cessful, but when he essayed to put an

Attelrs jabbing did considerable dam
age to Patsy's face, while the shifty
champion came from the battle with
out a mark.
The P~reliminaries.
The preliminaries saw many Newark
ers. Young Stanzo, In a four-round
affair, outclassed Young Diamond.
Stanzo. who on previous occasions had
been the victim, was easily the winner.
He even scored a knock-down, much to
the surprise Of Diamond. This bout,
without a question, was the best on the
card, and both boys are to be commend
ed on their work.
Kid LennoX, billed as the newsboy
champion, was pitted against Jimmy
Jarvis. Jarvis was a joke and Lennox
had things his W way. Lennox, on
account of his joking te ctics In the ring,
failed to score a knockout which should
have been placed to his credit.
Banty Lewis and Allie Burns were
the boys in a semi-f1nal six rounds.
Lewis vas far more clever than Burns
and was the winner. Burns swung any
old way and on several occasions was
able to land, but his blows were all
wasted, for there was no steam behind
them. A battle royal between i've
gentlemen of color caused much mirth
and was really a waste Of valuable
time.
