Abe Attell, I'm Training To Defend
Title On WasEnington's Birthday

VERNON, Cal, Feb. 90
Here's new one in the way of
sparring partners that Abe Attell
has put over and he claims it is
the livest bunch that has ever

idea, or this stunt, is to give the
champ an ironclad jaw and to
strengthen the muscles of the
neck. 1t is also great stuff to

shoulders and back.
Abe, who is training for his
fight with Kilbane on the 22nd,
says that the exercise he gets
with this dog is far ahead of any
system now used for the same
purpose, including the wrestling
