The reason Johnny Kilbane is
featherweight champion of the world
Is now we'll understood. Abe Attell
went before a small crowd in the
Madison Square A. C. last night to
try to demonstrate he is the same as
of old and fit for another bout with
Kilbane. but he made a sorry ex-
hibition against Harry Thomas, the
English boy.
Imagine Attell, the master, missing
by wide margins, and backing up and
out-maneuvered at every stylel That
is what happened last night. He is
sliding down the ladder of fame.
Thomas tackled him at his WI style,
r exchanging with him, ducked under
, his leads and made him look foolish
in general. Thomas finished strong,
While Abe "a slowed up and unable
to display any stock of cunning or
one of his fi~nely-drawn finishes.
Attell weighed 1874 pounds in cos

at 131.
II was something of a revelation to
I New Workers to see Attell miss so
often. Many times he started a move

gave the impression he would tie
Thomas up in the fgurative knot,
only to have his plans upset when the
English boy worked in a left jab with
sufficient force to toss the head of
Attell far back. The comfortable
style of Abe was in evidence starting
off, as usual, and once he vas forced
to smile when he had Thomas won

Being able to land on Abe without
q return was also a surprise Thomas
produced when the fight progressed
a short while, as his confidence was
restored to him. He danced around
Attell and many times beat him to
the punch. There was a pretty ex-
kibition of ducking by both boys in
the fifth round, with Attell a little
more proficient. Harry missed sew
eral short swings, and so did Able.
Abe came from his corner in the
first round after about half the house
had given h m applause. moving like
a well-oiled machine, chewing gum
in his usual fashion.
He fairly smothered the visitor with
left-handed love-taps. and so anxious

surprise. They had a warm exchange
and for the first time Attell displayed
a little more respect for his English
cousin. He looked worried as Thomas
reached his mouth and left eye.
Able had a sorry looking eye when
he started his attack in the fourth.
He directed his left to Harry's face.
Thomas had no more fear, however,
and began punching Attell on the nose
and bad eye. He a~lternated with left
swings to the jaw, and Attell appeared
to waver some.
In the early part of the fifth round
Attell got owe a good right hook.
For half a minute towards the end of
the fifth the pair swung over each

ming considerable applause.
Three times Attell was hit on the

he connected with a swing that hurt

Thomas was successful in getting over

The former t~itleholder showed some
of his old-time form in the seventh,
just before it closed, particularly as
to infghting. Thomas started off
lively enough, however, with his left
jabs. but Attell stepped around him
and jclted him hard. Enough vim
was now shown by Attell to lend some
encouragement to his followers.
Attell had his left and right working
like piston rods in the eighth to the
Englishman's stomach, but for a time
retreated when Harry used an upper
cut. All the time he was trying to
wear Thomas down by pounding him
on the stomach.
Abe was on the receiving side of
many jabs in the ninth and also up
percuts. He swung his right often
on Harry and n a corner both missed
wicked swings. The boys We're show
ing the effect OF the hard grind and
continual jabbing, but still willing
to work hard.
There was no whirlwind finish in
the tenth. Thomas was lively as a

Alberts, of Elizabeth, who performed
so ~splendidly in Central Institute,

In the first round Aiberts sent
Brock reeling across the ring and
just before the bell had Brock weary
from left and right swings. In the
second Alberts landed at will, and
the Frisco chap was groggy at the
close. In the third Alberts had such
a lead the referee stopped it.
Irish Mahon, of this city, also
did things to Young McGovern in
the second bout of the evening, drop
ping him to his knees in the first.
He swung and hooked and 1abbed
in the second, third and fourth, and
McGovern covered up carefully. He
wrapped himself up, so it was hard
for Mahon to get his trusty right
over. The referee thought McGovern
had enough in four rounds and did
not let the boys come on for the
fifth round.
