Especial from United Press.)
 New York, Jan. 20ANew York sport ing writers today paid uncompIimen- tary attention to Abe AtteIl, feather weight champion of the word, for his palpable 'stalling' in his match Thursday night with K. O. Brown, the East Side lightweight. Almost with out exception, the sporting critics de- clare that Attell has either gone back to a marked degree or else he put up an exhibition that deserves the severest censure.
 One writer quotes Attell as declar- ing he was "doped" before the fight According to this sporting editor, At tel declared he always had cocaine in jected into his broken hand before he fights, but on this occasion he got too much of the drug.
 Attell, defending himself, declared he is confident Brown cannot whip him, and offers to post a side bet for a return match Most of the sport ing writers intimate that it was the hope of a return match that caused AttelTs stall Thursday. There is Ift- tie probability that the boys could get another match before the same fight club
