‘Poker Table Again Undoing
Os Abe Attell’-Billy Nolan
By Ed. W. Smith.
THE poker table again has
proved the undoing of Abe
Attell.
At least so says the astute Billy
Nolan, who was the latest to round
up Abey after a disastrous physlcal
loss at the table and get him into
shape for a comeback.
This will be news that is not
particularly surprising to the many
friends of the little Hebrew fighter
who held the featherweight title so
long and lost it because of his shift
less training habits. These friends
know Abe and his temperament
pretty well.
Yet it will be something of a
shock to know that the little fellow
couldn't be good just at a time
when he seemed to have the bright
est kind of a chance of moving to
the world that he was still a great
athlete and a fighter of the first
class. Also, be it known. Abe had
a little redemption act to perform.
He had been accused of faking in
New York and other places. It
was up to him to show that he was
on the level, and the public best
forgets stories of faking when it is
proved that a man can and will win.
Nolan Explains the Split.
Nolan just came through with a
long letter of explanation, covering
his recent split-out .with the ex
champion. Nolan wants it known
that he did his very best for At
tell, but that it is a hopeless case.
Listen to the tale of woe:
"It was a desperate task that 1
undertook with Attell. He begged
and begged that I take him and get
him straightened out, and I agreed
to try it only after hours of dis
cussion. during which Attell made
me the strongest kind of promises.
1 knew Ije had been knocked thor
oughly all over the land and this
made my task all the harder. Yet
I undertook it at last and seemed
on the point of getting away with
it when the old fever got into Abe's
veins.
Ranch Life the Best.
"Wl:< n 1 got -through with the
training • n the ranch I had Attell
up- 136 pounds and he looked ten
years younger than when I took
him. He was in the finest of shape
and then the task was to keep him
there. That was easy as long as
we stuck to the simple food and
the g'-od air of the ranch.
' But when we got to San Fran
i i.«< < 1 The bright lights and the
ins'tr.iating clatter of the poker
eh!; - started tiie old fever and
wit 21 hours 1 discovered I had
as i ii h control of him as a ten
ymr-oid boy •> ould have of a buck
ing brom ■■■<. He simply must sit
up all nig. t and mix in with the
tendi ricin < ruwd and I had to grin
and b-at it.
"The Murphy bom was originally
set for July 4. but was put back a
month and Attell resumed all of his
old customs —all night at the poker
table and the rest nf the time with
riotous companions, with little sleep
and no care for the future. Inside
of ti.re weeks all of the good that
he had attained at the ranch was
blown. When I reproached him he
sulkrd and then turned ingrate.
"The ii.-tlt was inevitable. We
split. He had the nerve to try and
renounce ur as manager, but he
found me equal to the occasion, for
I attached his money and got
$1,575 for my services, and what is
more, will assert my claim up to
the time of his next match with
Kilbane, which is in accordance
with the terms of my agreement
with him.
Airs a Few Opinions.
•’1 know from bitter experience
that a lot of fighters are ingrates,
but the treatment I received at the
hands of this fellow passes all be
lief. Never in my life did I work
harder for a man's interests than I
did for his. and I believe he will
regret the day he turned this trick.
"Getting back to more pleasant
things, let me air a couple of opin
ions I have formed. Jim Flynn will
trim this Charley Miller, who is
too slow to make a champion. T
thought Howard Morrow had the
makings of a real champion and

INDIANA GOVERNOR TO

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 23.—t.’pon re
ceipt of private information that the
Mineral Springs Jockey club, organized

DEAL ISN’T CLOSED, BUT •
PLAYERS COMING ANYHOW
CHARLOTTE. N. ('., Aug. 23.—Mal
colmson and Bauswine leave for At
lanta at once, where they will join the
Crackers.
Both of these players will make good
under fair circumstances. Malcolmson
is one of the best catchers that has
worked in this circuit. His throwing is
strong ami sure and at the bat he is
no weakling. Bauswine seems to have
about mastered his curves, and he keeps
up his control. He wiir make a great
showing in the Southern. Togo Bent
ley will do the catching for the Hornets
for the rest of the seasog.
At Atlanta baseball headquarters
they say that the departure of the two
charlotte players for Atlanta is a bit
premature, as the deal for them has not
been closed as yet.

JOHNSON-JEANNETTE
FIGHT IS CALLED OFF
BY M'MAHON BROS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—The Jack John*
s<>n-.loe Jeannette fight, set for Septem
ber 25 at the St. Nicholas Athletic club,
was declared off yesterday afternoon, “for
the betterment of the spot.” by Jesse and
Edward McMahon, the promoters of the
bout. The McMahon brothers called off
the match after a conference with the
state athletic commission.
“There has been some adverse criti
cism about this match. Edward McMa
hon declared, “and the commissioners ap
parently do not want it to be held. That
is why we are calling it off for the bet
terment of the sport. The commissioners
do not want Jack Johnson to appear in a
match in New York city
“The commission decided some time
ago.” said Commissioner O'Neil, “t/iat
Jack Johnson would not be permitted to
fight here. We believe now. and we did
then, the presence of Johnson in a ring
contest in this state would be inimical
to the best interests of boxing, the status
of which has greatly improved under the
Frawley law.”
Johnson Doesn’t Care.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.—“ That does not
worry me. ’ said Jack Johnson last night,
when informed that his combat with Joe
Jeannette had been called off.
“Thai means that I won’t fight again.
I simply wanted to fight Jeannette to
show certain people that 1 was not all
in,’ as they claimed.” said the negro.
COBB IN AUTO ACCIDENT,
BUT NOBODY IS INJURED
BROCKTON. Aug. 23. T. Raymond
Cobb, premier swatter of the American
league, and the greatest figure in the
baseball world today, was in an autc
crash here Monday morning. An effort
was made to hush the .matter up. but
Tyrus' fame has reached even Brockton
and the news leaked out today.
Ty is very fussy about his baseball
paraphernalia and especially about his
shoes. They must be just so. Brock
ton is the leading shoe city of the
county and Ty knows it. He also
knows Walter T. Stall, who owns the
.famous sporting goods manufaet try
here, and it was .while Ty was th«
juest of Mr. Stall that the Stall ma
chine hit a young man whose name
is Zimmerman Sharstakofsky. Nobody
was seriously hurt, but Cobb and the
others in the machine were badly
frightened.

CARE OF THE TEETH
IMPORTANT TO HEALTH
Without perfect teeth one can not
ettj \v perfect health. Decayed or im
perfect teeth are not only painful and
continuously annoying, but a positive
menace to health and even life.
Do not neglect your teeth. Upon the
first sign of decay have them treated
and save suffering. Or, if the teeth are
already in bad condition, have them at
tended to at once.
The modern scientific painless meth
ods in use by tile Atlanta Dental Par
lois( rob dentistry of its former terrors,
and the most difficult operations are
performed quickly and without pain.
