ME fITTELL 15 POKER CHAMP : WINS 532.000 By Sol Plex. EVEN if Abey Attell never comes back to the extent of whipping Johnny Kilbane for the feather weight title —and it doesn't look as if Abe ever again would be able to make 122 pounds and be strong—he has one title they won't get away from him very soon. Out on the Pacific coast he is known as the real poker cham pion of the world. Word is just sifting back to Atlanta that the former featherweight star won upward of $32,01)0 in recent operations there and that his streak of luck is not broken yet. In fact nobody out there thinks it ever will be broken, be cause of the extreme skill that Attell shows at all times in his card playing. Likes to Take a Chance. Attell ever was a riproaring young plunger on al* things that presented a fairly even field and quick action. With a rather short bank roll, but all of his nerve intact, Attell began playing out on the coast as soon as he landed there. It wasn’t long before most of the play ers in San l-’rancisco .began to fight shy of him because of the phenomenal luck that appeared to follow him on the ta ble. Attell won consistently, but as his sittings were usually of 24 and 30 hours duration Abey found little time for training. Hence it was that he was in mediocre shape for the Kilbane battle and in even worse shape for the contest that followed soon after with Tommy Mur phy in San Francisco. But all that time Abe was whaling away at the poker game and before long his win* nings had reached the $25,000 mark. It was then that Abe. realizing that, he was in a fairway to make himself com. sortable for some future years, pressed his luck until today his winnings are over $32,000. Salting Down His Coin. Better still, tis said that Abey has joined the army of salters and is bury ing a goodly portion of the coin so deep that nobody but him will ever be able to find it. That's something that never occurred to Abe before and may be one of the nice points that was hammered into him during his brief stay with Billy Nolan, the real sage of the fight ing game.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—There is a thorn in the side of Mike Gibbons that the St. Paul man should pluck out before he can consiut. him.-ell a champion. Said thorn is walking around here and answering to the name of Jimmy Clabby, now a Hammond boniface, but a fighter still for all of that. Jimmy came into town the other day to have a visit with his old running mate. Ad Wolgast, and in cidentally to take a trip to Mil waukee with the lightweight cham pion. Both are decidedly well known there and usually make their visits together. Clabby would like nothing better than to get another shot at Mike, it can not come too soon for him and he would make a lot of con cessions to the St. Paul star in or der to get him into a New York ring for a ten-round display or something like that. How Mike Showed Speed. "Mike has achieved a wonderful reputation down East because of his speed and skill.” Jimmy told a little bunch in The American of fice the other afternoon. 'Well, I'm glad he's doing well and that they like him because that ought to make him a pretty good card with me down there. I've had Mike in the ting and he certainly showed speed against me. I never saw a man do so much backward running as he did that night tn Milwaukee. And there is still talk in Milwau kee about what a rotten showing he made against me in that con test. "I don’t know much about Mike's weight, but I'll /io 150 pounds for him or anybody else. We boxed before at 145 and 1 weighed only 143 then. I've taken on some and 1 guess he has. too. But the fact that I can do 150 doesn't make me refuse to meet any and al) middle weights. 1'1! go right up to 160 pounds with any of them. "Why shouldn't Mike do the same, if he’s the champion they would make him out in New York? Boxing is a business and one must get his pile out of it. if he is to make a pile, while the going is good. Gibbons never can make another nickel out of the welter weight class. I'd starve if I had to depend upon men of my own weight. That's why I'm making concessions all the time. Why, in Australia, I boxed Dave Smith, who weighed 165 pounds, and any of the other big fellows that could draw a cent with me.” THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAQUB. Game* Today. Mobile in Atlanta.
