ATTELL W BE
1 'COME-BICV
POPULAR AGAIN
By Ed W. Smith.
CHICAGO, April 14. —How is one
Koing to figure out this Abe
Attell boy after what he did
to Ollie Kirk in a New York ring
the other nljrht? The little California
Hebrew has a knack of twisting the
dope upside down and inside out and
doing the very thinga that are least
expected of him.
In this instance he proves himself
the come-back fiend of them all by
stopping Kirk easily in three rounds,
whereas last November he himself
was stopped completely by this same
Kirk in six rounds in St. Louis, on
that occasion Attell quit cold, and
stepping to the ropes told the aston
ished crowd that lie could continue
no longer, that youth would be
served, that he found himself all in
. and unable to turn the tricks that he
used to in the ring, etc., etc., etc.
Abe a Come-Back.
But this was last November This
is April. Attell got back to New
York, and finding his finances a bit
low .evidently made up his mind that
the public had forgotten his St.
Louis remarks In the four months
intervening. And here he is, a full
fledged come-back.
• • •
N > boxer in the world, and in this
one can include the once might}’
John T,. Sullivan, has been the sub
ject of more stories dealing with the
passing of "a once great star” and
the “decay of a champion" than this
same Attell. To a certainty Abie
has been through the game from be
ginning to end. into every crevice
and angle and has seen it from every
viewpoint.
Attell Has Been Stopped.
He has been knocked out. has won
several titles, only to lose them right
back, has been accused a dozen times
of faking, has been barred here, there,
elsewhere, only to get himself rein
stated: has won and lost fortunes at
poker, craps and race track; and. in
fact, every known experience of the
boxing sport has fallen to the lot of
this California champion. But he’s
here to-day. and some people are say
ing lie is just as good as ever he was
How are you going to figure him at
all, at all?

MEMPHIS GETS
JORDAN,JOINS
TEAM IT ONCE
A DOLPH OTTO JORDAN, At-
I /A lanta citizen and ex-Atlanta
manager and player, has been
sold by the Chattanooga club to
Memphis and will perform with Bli)
Bernhard’s club tilts year.
This deal was closed yesterday, and
Jordan was sent at once to join Bern
hard at Mobile.
Thia is the second move of the fa
mous second baseman within ths
year. Slightly less than a year agj
Charles Hemphill, then manager of
the Atlanta ball club, electrified At
lanta fans by announcing that he had
decided to send Jordan to Chatta
nooga. Otto had a big year under
Billy Smith and turned up in good
order this spring. Evidently Manager
Elberfeld found he needed a lot of
speed in the infield, so he recently
asked waivers on Jordan. As Otto
goes to Memphis at just thig time it
is probable that he went at tlie waiver
price.
Jordan should have a couple cf
years more of usefulness in the
Southern. Os course, he is slowing
down, but he still has the greatest
head of them all. and is a useful bats
man in the pinches.

RAIN.
Rain wax invented by a guy who had
a grudge against baseball magnates. It
made Noah famous; likewise It made
him swear.
Rain makes the grass grow and the
flowers bloom, but it puts a Jody on the
gate receipts and hits the baseball mag
nate a swift and severe kick.
The only redeeming feature about rain
is that it contributes to the propaga
tlon of doubleheaders. A double
header means two exhibitions of cur na
tional pastime for the price of one ad
mission. all of which makes a magnate
as happy as if he were sitting on a
cactus.
There is an unconfirmed rumor that
rain is the chief reason for the National
Commission’s undying hatred for water.
Having held a conference on the weath
er conditions, our magnates will now
arise and sing their national anthem,
which patters as follows:
The raindrops fall on hill and dell:
Oh. whatthehel! Oh, whatthehel!
Fur be it from us to knock the chief
of th* weather bureau, but he is gain
ing money under false pretenses.
Were we a legislator, we should en
dear ourselves to the common people
by instigating* a bill for a downward
revision of moisture.
Our notion of nothing to be disap
pointed about is the news that the
' conflict between Messrs Zbysxko and
Demetral has been called uff.
REFERRING TO WRESTLING.
• You may knock, you may hammer the
- game if you will.
But th* average mortal will fall for it
still.
•*We want to be fair with the fans "
I quoth a wrestling promoter. Pardon
[ this loud and discordant lawfter.
The report that Ty Cobb has engaged
in another rough house indicates that
r he <s in midseason form.
Ever* thing is for the best, as it were
• Rutledge < hsborne would have remained
• unwept, unhonored and unsung if Mr.
Cobb had not busted him on the bugle.
What surprises us is that those Brook
lyn athletes opened the new park by
, raising the American flag without get
i ting permission from George M. Cohan.
Not knocking Messrs. Sheckard and
Leach, but it must have been a heluva
feeling to be turned down by Rochester.
N. Y.
Miller Huggins arises to remark that
he wants Jim Thorpe, giving further
demonstration of the fact that there is
no accounting for tastes.
