NHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Abe At
tell did beat the San Fran
cisco poker games for $685.
600, and better than that, he kept
every penny of it. He has the
money banked now in New York.
Best of all, though, he has quit
gambling altogether now that he
has a nice little start toward a big
bankroU.
The height Of Attells ambition
right now is to show the public
that he is just as good a man as
ever he was.
The only way he can do that Is to
drag Johnny Kilbane into a ring
again and beat the daylights out
of him. He thinks this may be an
almost impossible task in the light
of what has happened recently.
Has a New Champion.
Attell passed through the city,
being in town about five hours. He
was accompanied by his wife and
a young coast lightweight named
Herb Brock, whom Abe swears is
destined 20 become a real cham
pion within very short time.

THOMPSON RECALLED FROM
BROCKT0N BY NEW YORK

ATHENS, GA. Sept. 5.-Red and
Black fans and the Georgia boys, par
ticularly of recent years will be glad to
learn of the magnificent success which
has attended the work of Carl Thomp-
son. star pitcher for Georgia's baseball
team for three years. who made the
record of strike-outs in a regular COL
lege game last year, and who was i'm
mediately afterward signed UP for the
New York Americans by Scout Arthur
Irwin.
He showed up fairly well in his two
or three games pitched for the High
landers and was then sent to Brock
ton, Mass, for the seasons seasoning.
On the Brockton team in the past two
months he pitched ten games. won
eight tied one and lost one. The game
he lost was score of to 0. the only
hits he gave up being two punched
doubles. which let in the one run.
Thompson has just ben recalled bv
Nolverton to the Yankee camp and
ne is declared to be fit to pitch in any
OF the major leagues. He was vol1ln-
tariiy this week raised in salary from
$3.50 to $275 month and a cash offer
Of $4,000 was refused for him from
one of the International teams.

that l find with him is that he is
not capable Of holding 1t and de-
Tending it in real championship
style. Just look at the men he il
hghting and who are holding him
even. Why, even little Tommy
Dixon knocked him down and
BACKED his eye.
Just the other day Jim Coffroth
wired him an offer of $4,000 for his
END to battle me in San Francisco

carey evidently thought that | was
so Wild to get a return match with
hllbane that 1 would fight him for
next to nothing. But haven't gone
completely crazy just yet.
"Coffroth then wired Kilbane that
ne would give him the New Years
day date with me, but never got A
reply to this. From this I can see
mat k1lbane doesn't want to fight
me at all. The papers all over tbe
country are scolding him for his
poor showings, and I hope that
some day he may become ashamed
of himself"

Kid" Mccoy Is Poet
'Isi- t-1.s
Writes Verse in Jail

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-The fol-
lowing poem was composed by Kid
Mccoy in BriXton jail while he was
waiting for eXtradition proceed
ings:
Kindness seeds are sown by deeds,
Cultured by loves affection.
Natures arm protects from harm
All those VINO need protection.
Loves bright charm allays all alarm,
And strengthens the will of the
mind,
So when in doubt turn things about
And view them from behind.
Let reasons bright light
Guide desire and appetite,
Should happiness be your goal
Don't scatter to the wind
The thoughts of the mind.
They that come from your soul.
The poem was not made public
until Mccoy was safely outside the
jurisdiction of the British author

ahead of him.
Then came the turgid seventh.
Details are unnecessary. but, any
how. Bernhard's men batted home
four talies.
With the Crackers three runs to

slipped in Parsons for another try
at the Crackers And they pro-
ceeded to get to him. Brady, first
up, Strolled Aeler hit a fielder's
choice but Bailey did something
for his country with homer that
scored two men. That brought the
Crackers to within one run of a
tie. 1t looked gloomy for Memphis
when HARRISON singled, but the
dope switched when Reynolds flied

Considering that the whole thing
started out pretty much of farce.
it really developed into an excellent
afternoons sport and while it
might be justly observed that the
pitching wasn't the best in the
world, it could be offered. on the
other hand, that the batting was
most marvelously good. And what
little the hits lacked in number they
surely made up in length.
