Kid" Mccoy Is Poet

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 who 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

THICAGO, Sept 5.-Abe At
tell did beat the San Fran
cisco poker games for $685.
900, 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 nice little start toward a big
bankroll.
The height OF Attell's 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.

Attell passed through the city,

was accompanied by his wife and

nan triplcd, sending Bales home
ahead Of him.
Then came the turgid seventh.
Details are unnecessary, but, any
how. Bernhards men batted home
four tallies.
With the Crackers three runs TO
the bad and with only a half in
ming to go, Manager Bernhard
slipped in Parsons for another try
at the Crackers And they pro-
ceeded to get to him. Brady, first
up, strolled. Agler hit a felder's
choice, but Bailey did something
for his country with a homer that
scored two men. That brought the
Crackers to within one run of q
tie. 1t looked gloomy for Memphis
when HARRISON singled, but the
dope switched when Reynolds flied
out. Again Atlanta hearts beat
hopefully when McElveen singled,
sending HARRISON to third. When
the pinch came it was a battle Of
curves VS.. the punch between Par
sons and Callahan. and the Mem
phis man got the verdict when he
forced Callahan to pop to Bales,
ending a tight game.
Considering that the whole thing
started out pretty much of a 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.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Although
friends of Johnny Dundee. the clever
little New York featherweight, today
claimed a draw for their idol in his
ten-round bout with Featherweight
Champion Johnny Kilbane at the St.
Nicholas Athletic club last night, the
title holder supporters were just as
sure that decision would have gone
to Kilbane had decisions been allowed
by law in this state.
Kilbane did not train after his ar
rival in New York saying that he felt
fit to tackle Dundee. But the little
New Yorker proved a surprise. He
showed unexpected strength and speed.
There were times when Kilbane
laughed with the crowd, when his own
blows missed their mark.
