Ills opponent was Phil Vir-g-ets. a ruKged local light weight, Attel went down under fire in the fourth round. Attel. who in his prime was one of t"he. cleverest millers who ever donned mitts, made a pood showing for two rounds. In the third, nature bepan to assert itself. His lers began to quiver and his arms dropped for want of vigor. XTo Need of rinal Count. "When one minute and thirty seconds of the fourth round had elapsed. Attel fell flat on his back. He had been practically beaten down by his youthful and more vigorous opponent. There was no need to count. A towel was thrown into the ring by Doc Outch of Philadelphia. Attel's chief adviser.

KID WILLIAMS IS FAVORITE Ifl BOUT JITH HERMAN NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 9. Kid "Williams, the Baltimore "wolf boy" and bantamweight champion of the world, will be a 6-to-5 favorite over I'ote Herman, New Orleans pride and southern champion, when the two meet tonight in a twenty-round contest at the New Louisiana Auditorium. Billy Recap. Philadelphia sporting editor, who will be third man in the ring, met both fighters yesterday and talked over the preliminaries of the fight. Williams is a 100 per cent better fighter this year than last year, when Herman held him to a draw in the same big open-air bowl. Williams has trained faithfully for this fight because there were many at the ringside in that other encounter who thought that Herman should have won. The local man in thrtt fight carried a slashing offense to the champion in the early rounds and piled up such a lead that Johnny could not overcome it in the final rounds, which were all in his favor. Herman has been training at Bay St. Louis for this fight with Williams, knowing that it means everything to luni. His daily training has consisted of log splitting, rope skipping, running.

(Special to Ths Times.) INDIANA HAKBOR. IND.. Jan. 9. The Nagdeman bowling team took two

games from the LaEzetos in the Randolph Bowling League last Friday night, winning the first game with a small eight hundred score and taking the second easily. Is looked like three, straight for the Nagdemans, but the LaEzetos came to life in the third and won by a fair margin. Next Friday night the second round starts and the Nagdemans meet the Hotel Planters team, which, it must be remember took three games from the Nagdemans, so the home team is storing up some reserve ammunition to pet off at the next meeting. It is to be hoped the result will be reversed.
