est fight that he had ever witnessed.
In the early rounds Papke showed at
his best, but the loose flesh about his
waist indicated that he was not in the
best of shape. Whenever a punch land
ed in the vicinity of midsection he
doubled up in an attempt to protect
himself. He then tried to test Man
tells strength, but the Pawtucket man
showed him about the ring with ease.
Mantells style win never make him
a popular ring idol. He boxes with
both arms covered over his head and
in this position stands little chance of
landing effectively.
Today he had many chances to whip
over a finishing blow on the firing

satisfied with winning a decision

Mantell of PawtucSet was given
twenty-round decision over Billy Papke
of Kewanee. Ill. here yesterday after
noon 1t was the slowest bout seen
here in many months and neither man
showed championship form.
From the first TO the twentieth round
the principals wrestled around the ring,
head down, and made futile attempts
to reach the body with singing punch

Referee Levinson's decision was not
questioned and even Billy Papke sat
back in his corner when the bout was

Eyton's award was easily predicted
from all parts of the vast auditorium.

Los Angeles. Feb. 23.-Abie Attell,
brought TO bay at last and forced to
extend himself 10 the very limit of his
ability and endurance, was decisively
whipped by the young Queensberry
whirlwind, Johnny Kilbane yesterday
afternoon.
A championship reign of years was
exploded when Referee Charles +. Ely
ton, at the finish of the twentieth
round, grasped Kilbane by the left
wrist and hoisted the Cleveland boys
arm in token of victory. a victory that
carried with it the title OF worlds 1872
pound champion.
Boxing before the biggest crowd that
ever saw a ring contest in southern
California, the featherweights staged
a sensational struggle in the Vernon
arena OF the Pacific Athletic club. 1t
was a battle of brains as well as of
muscle. 1t was the finer points. the

opening bell.
Not a knockdown featured the fight.
Truth to tell. hard blows were few and
far between. Kilbane boxed better,
knew more and was actually quicker
than the marvellous veteran who has
held the title for many years.
Some idea of Johnny's great superb
GRITTY may be gained from the fact that
in one round-the eighth-the Ohioar
drove Attell's head back with nasty
jadbs sixteen consecutive times without
taking a return of any kind.
