FIGHTERS NOW LACK PUNCH
Few Of Modern PusIlists Possess Suf'
ficient Force In Their Blows to
Produce Knockout.

Few fighters of the present day are
gifted with the punch" say experts
of the game. The boxers either spar
for time and drag along for draw de-
cisions or the sporting world must be
forced to the conclusion that there is
a dearth Of battlers of old of the type
of Nelson in his prime, Fitzsimmons,
McGovern and Ketchell. This trio,
especially Fitz and Ketchell, had wal
lops like kicks from mule.
Billy Papke of Kewanee, a contem-
porary of Ketchell, Is still living, to
be sure, and only recently defeated
Carpenter, champion middleweight OF
France, but Papke at his best is only
a shadow of the husky lad who gave
Ketchell the battles of his life.
Johnny Kilbane has yet to demon.
strate that he possesses the punch
and Wolgast Is dabbllng around In
limit contests without handling his
opponents the X. o. potions.
Fighters must have the wallop tc
make the greatest successes and shine
as drawing cards like Battling Nelson
Joe Cans. Stanley Ketchell. Fitzsim
mons and Jeffries.
In the heavyweight division there
is not one fighter of class who de
serves to eat the crumbs from the
table of the old timers so far as rea
lighting ability is concerned. Olt

n-ANs FOR OLYMPIC GAMES
aress Of international Committee
- Called for Meeting at Lausanne
--Standardlxe Events.

A special congress of the interna-
tional Olympic committee has been
called for the first week of next May
and the location announced is Lau-
same, Switzerland. The conclave
will have for Its main object the re-
construction Of the present Olympic
program and 1t Is understood that the
events selected will become standard
for all future games. This congress
is being organized by special COM
mittee composed of the leading pro-
fessional men of Lausanne and the
Swiss confederation has signified its
intention Of giving helping hand to
entertain the visitors.
Not alone will the program of the
games be discussed at length, but
there will be a number Of interesting
papers read on the psychology and
physiology of the sport in all its as
poets. The nations wishing to offer
suggestions as to the events will have
to do 80 two months In advance. and
these will have to be in the form Of
a manuscript, which can be In the
language of the country offering the
suggestion. Should a man In making
the suggestion not wish to use his
own language. he will have the option
of using English. No paper must ex-
coed 5000 words. Arthur l. Ireland of
46 Avenue DOuchy, Lausanne, will
have charge of all communications
and he will furnish information about
the congress, the papers to be sub
mitted, and the general routine Of
business.
1t is proposed to drop some Of the
events seen in the games at Stock
holm and the general rules Of COM
petition are to be overhauled. The
Greeks. who expected to hold their
games in 1914 at Athens, are out to
include putting the stone, unlimited
run and follow, and the Greek style
of throwing the discus. There is a
unanimous feeling that the ambi-
dextrous contests with the javelin. dis.
Gus and 16-pound shot, inaugurated by
the Swedes, should be relegated.
The English delegates will submit
a new code to govern the starting OF
all races. the vital point being that
there will be a penalty for a break
They will request the revival of the
400-meter hurdle race, and for the
hammer to be the old style Implement
that is, a wooden handle and iron
head.

ATTELL'S START AS FIGHTER
Began Career as though Kid" In
Streets Of San Francisco-Mado
100000 as PuslIist.

Abe Attell Is down and out" In the
parlance Of the prize ring, according
to those experts who witnessed his
last two decisive defeats. Judging
from his performances in these en-
counters, he can't come back" in
the opinion of those same experts. 1t
is sGid he is inclined to feel little
that way himself.
But Abe is philosopher, IL nothing
else. He reviewed his fourteen years
of fighting the other day, Until he
was vanquished by Kilbane Abe was
featherweight champion Of the world
He has fought over $50 times.
He has fought more champions than
any other man now in the ring, and

has defended his title every time a
122-pound man could get the offer of a
purse and suggested his completely.
He has fought perhaps 5000 rounds
in all. -
He does not use tobacco in any
rorm, nor has he ever tipped the COB
let. He is twenty-eight years old.
Its been a pretty good game" he
said reflectively. "Of course I'm kind
of sore when think Of all the money
I've let get away from me.
-Four Of us began together in San
Francisco" he continued. There
were Jimmy Britt and Eddie Hanlon
and frankie Neil and myself. We
were all kids together, fighting pre-
liminaries about the same time. The
others are all done for now. I'm the
only one that's left in the ring"
A little later he recollected that his
ring career had netted him something
tough kid in the San Francisco
streets. He is bit proud Of that
early record, too.
49, said Attell, "by and by kid
would come to my mothers store-or
mebbe he'd meet me in the street and
call me a Jew or we'd catch him In
the alley, and then I'd murder him. .
The process of numbering" kids
was helpful to his shoulder muscles
but began to disturb the neighbors.
80 my mother had me sent away
to a reform school," said Abe, "and
stayed there for fifteen months. When
l got back l remember all the kids
around on the street yelling Abie's
home said I'd be good. But one
Of the kids I used to murder-his
name was Wires--had been fighting
preliminaries, and he had won twenty
nine straight fights. All the kids told
me to 60 In and clean him. Alex
Greggains used to pay SIS for prelim
mary fights then.
by and by some Of the kids went
to Greggains and told him they had
kid who could lick any of his pre-
linn fighters. One of 'em said he was
my manager. and Greggains made q
match right away with Eddie Lenny

Transmigrating Turkey.

'The only time I ever believed In
the transmigration of souls was one
frosty November afternoon on my
Indiana farm"
The speaker was George Ade. the
humorist. He continued:
1T was day or two before Thanks

fields were russell brown color. To-
ward me over those russell fields
strutted very plump. very large.
very young turkey.
Then 1t was that an ardent belief
In the doctrine of metempsychosis
seized me.

you are now turkey. And you will
die tomorrow. But, cheer UP. Your
next transmigration will be into the
