ATTELL NOT HIS |
OLD SELF AT ALL.
Able Makes Poor Showing
Against Willie Beecher, the
Lightweight.
ONCE FIERCE, NOW A LAMB

Abe Attell proved a big disappoint-
ment in his bout at the Atlantic A.
C. at Far Rockaway last night when
he matched his wares against Willie
Beecher in a ten-round go. At clever
headwork in ducking away from leads
the erstwhite Attell was his old self
but in everything else he was pitt
fully weak. He showed one real flash
of fighting for perhaps thirty seconds
in the fifth round, then became the
same timid lamb, and Beecher took
that round as well as all the rest.
Attell landed squarly exactly three
times during the bout, not, however,
on Beecher, but on Referee Draycott.
A random right floored the ring Judge
in the fifth and a similar blow on
the jaw made him groggy in the sixth.
In the eighth Attell sent home his
hardest blow. with his-not with his
fist. He was doing a backward
Marathon, with Beecher chasing him.
When he collided with the arbiter
the latter fell so heavily that the floor
reverberated.
1t was in this round and the next,
the seventh, that Beecher did his
most effective work. He had Attell
racing at breakneck speed around the
roped enclosure after Abe had at
tempted clinching and. found it highly
improbable. Abe was badly cut
about the mouth in one of the early
rounds and Beecher increased the
swelling of his lips as time Wore on.
The crowd, which cheered Attell at
the start, was all for Beecher after
the midway mark
Promoter Mike Peer, of Cleveland,
sent word by long distance phone
from Put in Bay that the fight at
Cleveland will surely take place be-
tween Cal Delaney, of Cleveland, and
Kid Julian. Of Syracuse. Threats of
the Governor and Attorney General
Hogan to the contrary have not
caused any change of plan. Peer
states he is sure there will be no in
reference; that he made sure of his
ground before he proceeded to ar
range the battle.
Negotiations are under way for a
ten-round contest between Packey
Mcfarland and Willie Richie to be
held in Milwaukee early in October.
1t was announced that Mcfarland
ndu dBT6Su 10 meet IIlIc0le ana I0aL
the latter was considering the PROPOSE
ton. Richie is expected here about
August 10.
Young Herman, who is matched to
fight Battling Kidd at the Paramount
A. c., New York, on August 2. would
| like to meet local 105-pounders. His
manager, Ben Schwartz, can be found
at the Happy Ramblers' Association,
80 Charlton street.
Young Fox, the local feather, Is
after the winner of the Banty Lewis
Cardell fight, which will come off
Monday night at the Central Insti-
tute. Fox is in fine shape just now
and thinks he can show Lewis some
new ones. Fox has met and defeated
some of the fastest bantams in New
England recently, among whom are
Young Jack McAuliffe and K o.
| Dixon.
Manager P. Sully, who looks after
| the affairs of Young Trotten, writes
that the account of the preliminary
| fight at TroXler's on Tuesday last,
which stated that his man had been
stopped by Jake Tattles in two
rounds, was erroneous. We hasten to
rectify the error and state that Trot-
ten disposed of Tattles in the second
| frame of the bout.
