ABE ATTELL SCRAP WAS HARD ONE FRUSH FIGHT EASY OVERCONFIDENCE HELPED EUGENE CRIQUI NEXT

By JOHNNY KILBANE Featherweight Champion of the World. Copyright. 1923. by NEA Service, Inc., 1 n United states and all foreign countries that have ropyright laws. Reproduction is prohibited. WHEN it took seven rounds for me to put Danny Frush away at Cleveland two years ago. many people thought I had been through my toughest battle. I hadn't. The fight with Abe Attell for the championship in 1912 was about my toughest. Frankly, I never have been in a tough one since. But there was something very unusual about the Frush fight that the public never has learned. For instance, it doesn't know that an hour before the fight, with the ball park filled, there was a big chance of the whole thing being called off. It came about this way: After the Downey-Wilson fight in Cleveland, a ruling wais made that an out-of-town judges were never to judge a fight in that city. So far so good. But what did I learn an hour before the bout, but that two out-of-town men. one from Chicago and another from Pittsburgh, had been brought on just for this purpose. Now, I knew both of these men. and they were reliable, honest and all that, to the very' best of my knowledge. But the rank injustice of deliberately sidetracking one of their own rules for my fight, got me. I refused to go on. Would Not Waiver They hemmed and they hawed, but I didn't budge. Out-of-town judges—no fight. That was my stand. The crowd had gathered, and the time was drawing close to the starting of the main mill. One of the two men in question came to me. I told him I had nothing against them personally, but that the city had made a certain ruling, and they had to live up to it. Two judges finally tfere named, one of whom I didn't even know. But they suited me. And the bout was on! I climbed into my ring togs, and by the way. I always have used the same ring suit in which I won the championship, never any other, Frush was another example of overconfidence He bad been talked to by a gioup of men who thought they were critics, but who weren't. At the opening bell he rushed at me, and ripped off a couple of low blows, which I am certain were foul ones. I became incensed, and yelled at him: “All right, if you want to use those tactics, 1 will, too." and I let him have everything I had, in the same way he was giving it to me. It was this round in which I was accused of fouling him with my knee. To disprove this for the benefit of those who were not at the fight, let me add that when the second round came, Frush had much the better of it. He won the round handily, two to one. Which. I may add. was music to my ears. Surely a boxer "fouled” in the first round would have a tough time winning the second one! In the third, I hunted for an opening. And my opportunity came. I found one and let loose with a terrific right-cross to the jaw. and he dropped. I am satisfied today that that blow left him groggy the rest of the fight. The fourth and fifth rounds were] rather tame, due to my plan of wait-! lng for another chance for a stiff j blow, which came in the sixth. With j a deadly right hand blow to the jaw. I dropped Frush again. Only the bell saved him in the sixth. In the seventh round I knew he was through, so I put all my power! into my blows and after hitting him four or five he passed peacefully into : oblivion, and the Frusfli fight was over. His Next Fight And now comes mv next fight! It! is slated with Eugene Criqui, the European-French champion, for June 2 at the Polo Grounds. New York. There has been a lot of talk about Dundee. It doesn't make a bit of difference to me whom I fight. I still expect to be champion after fighting both. The attitude of the crowd won't affect me at all In the coming scrap. I have gone too far for that. I know half will be for me and half against. As to my age, and whether 33 will be an advantage or disadvantage? People have asked me that question Hun. It may be both. My age will be an advantage in that I expect to be cooler than eve in this fight. I confidently feel the title Is In no danger. But you never can tell! I am out on my farm now, in train- ; Jng. And in my next and last article, you, the reader, and I will Journey about the place, and go through my daily routine. While doing that, I j will whisper some of my future plans. !

Spurt of Philadelphia Athletics Puts Pep in American League Race

GIANIS HAVING EASY TIE IN NATIONAL LOOP Reds Flivver, Cards Crippled and Pirates Just So So — Williams Offers Thrills, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. May 28. Through the sudden and rather unexpected return to life of the Philadelphia Athletics, a “cinch” pennant race in the major league has been temporarily, if not permanently, avoided. While the National League has failed to develop a team that looks to have even a small chance of heating the Giants, the American League has jumped to the front with the prospect of a tight contest between the Yanks, the Athletics and one of the Western clubs, which may get around to pre-season form. The Giants have a lead of six and one-half games, and it is being taken for granted that the world's cham pions will be "in" again before the end of the season. The Reds have been a terrible failure: the Cards will be badly crippled by the injury to Rogers Hornsby, and the Pirates, good as they seem, will have to act better off the filed than recent occurrences in Boston indicate they are acting. In the American League, the Yanks have a lead of four and a half games; but with the Athletics going as they are. that margin is none too great. The Cleveland Indians are having trouble: the Browns will never get any place without George Sisler. and the Tigers are said to have been razzed clear off form by Ty Tobb. Cy Williams, the tali Philadelphia outfielder, is furnishing one of the features of the season in his drive for anew home run record. At the present time. William with eighteen, has five more homers than Babe Ruth had on May 27 of his record year in 1921. It must be considered too that the season started a week later this year than it did in 1922. and that Williams has about forty more games in the band box Philadelphia park

Four laps at the astounding ! rate of 108.17 miles an hour, almost ! eight miles an hour faster than the ' mark set two years ago by Ralph De Palma in a 183 inch Ballott. It saw Howdy Wilcox make his tenmile run in an H. C. S. Special in a driving rain at the rate of eighty-one miles an hour, one of the most re- | markable feats ever seen at the Speedj way. If Wilcox ever gives up the au j tomobile game he should have no trouble in qualifying for a mariner's 1 license of the stormiest seas in the 1 world. German Is Hurt Tt saw Max Sailer’s German Mercedes crash the inside wall on the northwest turn, hurl the mechanic Johann Rieger from the car to the track and then go tearing across the track to the outside wall, corning to ; rest with a badly smashed tail. It saw the three Bugattis driven by Martin Alsaga. Pierre de Viscaya and Count Zborowski calmly take the | second line of the race all to them , selves, when everyone thought they ■ would be far back in the procession. and last but not least they saw the i lowly Barber-Wamock Special, a I cerise colored flivver, romp into pole position in the third row. And all because the weather man got busy, turned on the rain, such flyers as De Palma. Boyer. Murphy, Heame and many others were cut off from making their drives for postiion. AIJ will be out today, but the Speedway rules decree that the first of today shall line up behind the last of Saturday's list.

As soon as Wilcox completed his marine run Saturday Bennie Hill got busy and decided to do a little cruising himself. By the lime he was ready darkness had fallen and a heavy fog was rolling in. As the bourse wai unequipped with lighthouse officials decided that there was much danger of Bennie going aground on some uncharted reef and they refused to permit him to slip anchor and take to the open seas. Sailer, Jr., to Drive Rumors were thick Sunday that Max Sailer, Jr., would take the wheel of a German Mercedes in place of his father, whose hand was hurt in the crash Saturday. Young Sailer did a lot of practicing Sunday. The Germans all tried out without mechanicians and it was understood they would drive alone and save weight. Rieger who was thrown from Sail- [ er's car in Saturday's crash was reported in good condition at the Methodist Hospital. His head was cut and his spine Injured. He was sent to the hospital for an X-ray. The first Deusenberg was promised for today, and the others for Tuesday, They will be given a chance to qualify whenever they get out. "No matter how late we are you car, be o none thing," a Duesenberg official said yesterday. "Fred Duesenberg's cars will be at the line when the race starts Wednesday and they will run some."
