The PASSING OF ABE ATTELL, One OF
WORLDS GREATEST FEATHERWEIGhT$

Abe Attell, one of the greatest
little fighters who ever drew on a
glove, probably has been seen in
the ring for the last time and in
his passing the game not only loses
remarkably clever man, but a
real champion about whose right
to the title there has been no
question. In his bout with Tom
my Kilbane Attell broke a bone in
his shoulder which the physicians
say will cripple him for life.
Attell is a product of San Fran
cisco and began his fighting here
] years ago when he was barely
16 years old. In his earlier days
Able won his fights via the knock
out route, but being a close stu
dent of the game, he gradually
picked up the finer points, sacri-
ficing mis- punch for dazzling speed
and eleverness. He probably was
the most finished boxer who ever
won the featherweight title and
frequently had been declared Jim
Corbett's equal as q boxer. His
first fight of Importance was with
Geo. Dixon, whom lie met twice
In 1901. Dixon, at that time was
beginning to fade and Attell twice
fought him to draw, once in 10
rounds and again in 20. Encour-
aged by mis- success against Lit
tie Chocolate, Attell went right
down the line, whipping Kid
Broad in 20 rounds, AureIio Her.
rera in Is and Buddy Ryan in 6.
His first reverse came in the latter
part of 1902, when Benny Yanger
a lightweight, knocked him out
in 10 rounds in St. Louis. After
this he took on a lot of second
raters and in 1903 he met Eddie
Hanlon, going 20 rounds to draw
with the boy who was then looked
upon as the coming lightweight
champion. The year 1904 was a
busy one for Attell, some of his
engagements being with Kid Her.

my FeltZ, Johnny Reagan and
Harry Forbes. He won all of his
battles that year but two, Brooklyn
Tommy Sullivan knocking him
out in five rounds and Jack Nc
Clelland getting a 15-ronnd de-
cision over him. The Following
year saw him take on a lot of
tough birds, including Battling
Nelson, Tommy Murphy Tommy
Mowatt and others. He did little
work in 1907, but i'll 1903 he car
