With the bet ting even, Monte Attell and Franklo Conley are ready for the first gong at Vernon at 8 o'clock this afternoon when they meet for a scheduled 16 round bout to decide the world's championship In the bamtamwelght division. As indi cated by, the no odds wagering, the fight promises to be a tough one. Both boys are In perfuct condition ac cording to their respective managers. Today they weighed In at the Pacific Athletic club, and each made the re quired weighty 116 .pounds; Henley had more trouble making weight than did Attell. It was neces sary for him to "dry out" to tip the beam. He declared, however, that this process had not weakened him. Tons ravor Conlsy. Fight fans, while not willing to give odds, seemingly favor Conley. . They point out that he put Danny Webster away In-10 rounds, while the best Mon te coujd. do was to draw with Danny twice, and - suffer defeat once. This, they atafe, indicates that Conley la the better man. .., , ; "At Vernon arena, Tom McCarey had carpenters working all day yesterday getting the place In shape for the bout today, following a sudden fere closure of a mortgage which was .se cured by the chairs and furnishings of the arena. Every movable thing was taken away In tarts. The mortgage was held by W. H Clune. McCarey stated today that everything would be in readiness for the fight, and no one would be compelled to stand. Aiteu gave out an interview to a Loa Angeles paper In which he said he would clean up all the rest of the ban tams after he walloped Conley. Here's Conley's answer to Attell: "I whipped Danny Webster so thor oughly in Portland that he hasn't chirped since. I did everything but knock Webster out; In fact I would have dropped him In two more rounds. Attell has fought Webster three times ana me oest Monte ever gat was a draw a pretty shaky draw It was, too, ror Attell. Bays Monte Has Talk. "This is the felloa- that says that I'm not a finished fighter and that he win stop me. I'll hand it to Attell for one thing. He's surely there with tho river front nerve. , "I'll Just ask Monte and the public to remember one thing. I whlpned Web ster, a trick that Attell failed to turn In forty rounds. Have I said something?" There is such a thing as a flahter saying too little or too much. Conley has rested his case at exactly the riant point. When Frankle calls attention to his decisive victory, over Webster he throws a shell of sarcasm into the Attell camp and at the same time places himself in a snug position before ino public QUARTET OF FAMOUS FIGHTERS WHO MEET IN RING TODAY ,-, ' (f) I ' ' ,J 45T t W't-'t p : - " H V ' I k i .I i ' 4i ' i i M ' - '' - fS- 'i I Alfalfa Farmer Cuts Proposed Hunting Trip Into Mex ican Mountains.

Powell and Memslo recently met In Ios Angeles, in which Tow Headed Lew secured a 2 tp 1 news paper decision. It was said to have been one of the most interesting mills seen down there in years between a pair of lightweights. With Johnny Coulon and Jimmy Car roll furnishing the fistic dessert for March and the Powell-Memslc argument following, the fans have two of the best cards that can be produced in store for them next month. . Added to this will be the Tracey smoker March 4, in which Jean West and Danny O'Brien, who have each scored a knockout, will be rematched. West is in training all the time and says he will demonstrate to the fans that his punch in the second round the other night was no fluke. O'Brien will be in good condition for the return mutch. If he trims West when they meet again he will go south to Join Roger Cornell at Santa Maria, where the ball club trains. . Joe Carroll is expected here in a day or two to begin working with his brother Jimmy Carroll in preparation for his bout with Coulon.
