In a fast bout Of ten rounds scin-

Attell, the featherweight champion
of the world. fought frankie Burns,
the near bantamweight champion, to
standstill at the National Sporting
Club, Ned York, last night.
Twice during the session-in the
ninth and tenth rounds-Attell knock
ed Burns to his knees, but try as he
would he was unable to administer
the sleep potion to the fast little Jer-
sey champion.
Attell boxed the last six rounds
with left arm that was helpless. In
the fourth round Burns hit him
hard twice. One blow landed on the
arm near the point of the elbow and
the other struck him on the shoulder
Those blows hurt his broken collar

received in a previous bout in the

Although Sam Langford is a fav-
orite in the betting in his fight with
Sam McVey. in Paris tonight, Paris

Mcvey is a big favorite, due to his

fore the Parisians and a victory for
him would make him the idol of the
city.
Fight experts. however, believe thar
the fight will last only as long as
Langford wants it to. The Boston

shape as when he fought Lang in Lon
