Rather Have Half.-The difference
between common sense and mathemat-
les was illustrated in a remark which
was made in a school one day.
1t was the mental arithmetic class
The master asked Smith: Which
would you rather have, half an apple
or eight-sixteenths of an apple?"
"Wouldn't make any difference
said Smith.
why not?"
Eight -sixteenths and one-half are
the same"
At this reply, Jones. who was sitting
near, shifted scornfully. The master
heard him.
well, JONES'" said he. don't you
agree with Smith,"
mo, sir" said Jones; I'D much
sooner have one-half an apple"
"And why, please?"
More juice. Cut up half an apple
into eight-sixteenths, and you'd lose
half the juice doing it."-Children's

magazine editor was talking at the
Authors club in New York about the
poor pay of novelists.

financial failure Of his books.

sir?"

the crabs came they didn't please
him.

none of Attcll's friends rash enough
to contend that the victory was not
fairly earned.
Murphy was the most persistent OF
the two all through the contest, but
whenever AttelI cut loose with might
and main lie cvcned the score, Abe
simply gave flashes OF his old-time
form, In some of the rounds he ducked
in way that bewildered Murphy and
brought cheers from the crowd.

Murphy punched him. The first of these
displays was seen in the second round
and there was great excitement in Muir
phys corner, the impression prevailing
that Attell WAS about to collapse.
One of the remarkable things about
the fight in fact. was in the way III
which each man rallied in turn. When
Murphy grew tired punching Attell
would take hand, and when Attell
would slow up Murphy would begin
again.

BIG FIGHT WILL NOT
Be HELD NEAR ZION

II 1IGH officials of the Western Pa
ci6c railway having turned
= - down the recommendations of
their subordinates that the railroad
build the arena for the Johnson Flynn
fight it is pretty certain now that the
big bout will not, be staged adjacent
to Salt Lake.
Local business men who were asso-
ciated with Promoter Jack Curlcy in
tended to incorporate the Wendover
Athletic club during the past week,
but when they learned yesterday that
the Western Pacific would not build
the arena they decided not to make
any further efforts to bring the cham
pionship contest here.
IF the Western Pacific had adopted
the recommendations Of its San Fran
cisco officials to build the arena, Salt
Lakers would have had TO subscribe
ONLY $4,000 to stage the fight in Ne
vada. The Wendover Athletic club
was to have been incorporated for $50
600, but Jack Curley had arranged to
take up $4,000 of that sum. There
is no doubt that the 100000 would
have been subscribed here readily as
number of wealthy business men ex-
pressed their willingness to take large
blocks Of the stock.
Las Vegas, New Mexico, is now the
most likely candidate for the big mill;
but something may happen at any time
to prevent its being pulled off there.
Curley believes that he can get big
purse by taking it TO Canada, but he
fears that fans would not attend in
large numbers.
On top OF that announcement comes
the news that the Zbyszko'Ma ahmout

is to take place in Chicago, where the
Empire Athletic club has hung up a
purse Of $4,000. Inasmuch az Manager

$4,000 for the bout, Heagren is won

ner with Il shower OF sturdy punches
which Murphy could neither dodge nor
block.
From then on to the twentieth Attell
had desperate work TO avoid q. knockout
Murphy outweighed Attell eleven pounds.
Murphy entered the ring at 1928. Attell
followed two minutes later. Among the
spectators were several women. Both
&ttell and Murphy were cheered vigor-
ously.

The fight by rounds:
Round One.
The first round developed fierce mill
ing at close range, the fighters punmel-
ing one another with heads together.
Attell landed frequently on the body and
forced Murphy 10 seek protection against
the ropes. No damage. Attell bled from
the mouth as the round ended with the
honors shade in his favor.
Round Two.
Murphy was warned and reprimanded
several times in the second round for
holding and hitting. He almost put the
ex-feaiherweight champion through the
ropes with succession of short arm
drives. but Attell nearly foored him
with similar onslaught. Attell went to
his seat unsteady with badly swollen
left eye and bleeding freely

IL Is reasonable to suppose that IA

DERSoNALLY the writer has no

There may not be any Jim Corbetts

overthrow Johnson, he Will not only
revenge himself and regain the
championship. but restore all the
credit that was his before he fought
johnson first and of which he was
deprived when Johnson lad him
low,
The knowledge that he lost his all
in the shape of prestige through the
defoat by Johnson must be one OF
the bittercst pills Jeffries was forced
TO swallow. Before that day Mt Reno
no was the Jeffries who licked Jim
Corbett. Bob F1tzslnmons, Gus

After that day he was simply the
Jeffries who was licked by johnson.

y Has Able Attell gone back ?
Well, Able himself may not
think so, but IL it were possible
to exhibit a photograph Of him as
he appeared at the end of the
twentieth round, there would be
unanimity Of opinion on the point
so far as the public is concerned.
1t was always a boast with your
clever fellows like Jim Corbett
and Able Attell that they never
received a black eye, bloody
nose or caulflower car And
they did not in the years when
their cleyerness remained with
them
Today when Tommy Murphy
got through with him, Abe AT
tell s face was picture Of hard
luck and hard usage. His left eye
looked like new buttonhole and
his countenance generally was out
Of plumb. IF Abe did not sport a
cauliflower ear it was because
there was no room for one, all the
available space being occupied by
other tributes to Murphy's punch
ing power. Murphy weighed 133
and Attell 122.
