‘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 s'o says the astute Billy Nolan, who was the latest to round up Abey after a disastrous physical 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 |tis 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 proving 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 I undertook with Attell. He begged and begged that I take him and get him straightened out. and T agreed to try it only' after hours of dis cussion. during which Attell made me the strongest kind of promises. 1 knew he 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. "When I got through with the training on the ranch I had Attell up to 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 good air of the ranch. "But when we got to San Fran cisco! The bright lights and the insinuating clatter of the poker chips started the old fever and within 24 hours I discovered T had as much control of him as a ten year-old boy would have of a buck ing broncho. He simply must sit up all night and mix in with the tenderloin crowd and 1 had to grin and bear it. "The Murphy bout 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 of the time with riotous companions, with little sleep and no care for the future. Inside of three weeks all of the good that he had attained at the ranch was blown. When 1 reproached him he sulked and then turned ingrate. “The result was Inevitable. We split. He had the nerve to try and renounce me 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. "I 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 1 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. I thought Howard Morrow had the makings of a real champion and Correct Proverb Solutions Picture No. 37 Picture No. 38 '| GL /> -JL <■' 1 l.r®! 1 !

The lack John* son-Joe Jeannette tight, 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 th? 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. “Th? commission decided some time ago.” said Commissioner O'Neil. “that lack Johnson would not be permitted to tight here.

CHICAGO, Aug. 23. ’“l'hat does not worry me, ’ said Jack Johnson last night, when informed that his combat with Joe Jeannette had been called off. “That means that 1 won’t light again.
