Tausoher said: "I will have the old
reliable battery on hand this afternoon
and expect It to do its best against
Rupert's players. I think Morton will
be ready to pitch his best game of the
season. He was not right last Sunday,
bat his condition this afternoon will be
the best ever. I look for a victory for
tbe Honeyman team by a close score."
Rupert was equally confident and
stated that his regular team would be
In the field. "O'Deen or Mensor will

of these players will help me a. great
deal. My team has been traveling at a
good clip and I expect a close game."

ALL DISPUTES FOft HIS GANG,
By Herbert Corey.
Abe Attell, philosopher, reviewed his
14 years of fighting the other day. He
holds the title of featherweight cham
pion of the world. He has fought 250
times perhaps more. He has fought
more champions than any other man
now in the ring, and has defended his
title every time, a 122 pound man could
get the offer of a purse and suggested
his complicity. He has been whipped
Just four times and the men who
bested him were out of his weight class.
He has fought perhaps 3000 rounds in
all, and he doesn't bear a mark where
a glove touched him. He does not use
tobacco in any form, nor has he evei
tipped the goblet. He Is 28 years old.
and when he has had four or five more
good fights, he thinks he will retire.
He Is getting tired of the game. He has
been modeutly rich, and fie has had to
pawn his wife's diamonds. He learned
how to plunge, and hardest of all he
lenrned how to quit plunging.

Indoor Baseball Notes
The Honeyman team will cinch the
championship If It defeats the Rupert
team this afternoon, but If It falls to
win, the two nines will be tied for first
place.
Rupert will have his strongest team
In the field and Felsel can be depended
on to pitch a good game. Johnny Taus
cher will depend on Eddlo Morton to
stow the title away.
Bill Dougherty's bunch of Indoor toe
sers have bepun to play ball, .but too
late for the becon. Bill's nine has won
three straight games.
Johnny Tauf-cher received a letter
from the manager of Astoria's profes
sional ball team offering him a posi
tion but Johnny declined because he has
signed to tryout again with the Spokane
Indians.
Henderson was not in shape Sunday.
He needs lots of work and his long rest
proved fatal in the opening Inning.
Morton pitched fine ball till the sev
enth Inning, when he was thinking of
that old song "Take me up, up in your
airship," and Immediately a five run
rally was started.
Oeorge Pembroke hit like Ty Cobb
getting four hits In succession, two of
them being two base swats. Hughle
McHale recovered from his slump and
made three blngles.
Hedrlck, Hansen and Reynolds each
made three hits in five times up during
the first fray last Sunday. Reynolds
would have been a help to Daugherty
had he reported at the first of the sea
son.
The way young Mensor played second
base for Rupert In the absence of Turk,
who was sick, was pleasing. It looks
as if Tauscher let a lire one get away.
Mensor made three runs and five hits
In five times up.
There Is some talk of the Honeyman
team, if it wins the ohamplonshlp, being
engaged to play a game with the out

Isn't bad for a youngster of 28. Not
much of It la left now.
"I was a good, saving kid until I met
Toung Corbet in Denver. He taught
me how to parlay my money. I'd never
made any bets until I caught up with
him. He made a plunger out of me.
Well, he sure made a good one. I bet
'em as high as any one while it lastod.
Now I'm through. No more betting for
me. I promjsed my wife a year ago
I'd cut It out. and she didn't believe
me. Last week she came out to see me.
Is Going to Stick.
"'Abe.' she said, I didn't believe you
would stick when you said you would
never bet again. But you have. Now
I know you will.' "
And It was not with the slightest evi
dence of emotion that he told the story
of the biggest bet he over made on a
horse and he was a skilled pony chaser.
It was when the Empire City track was
running at Yonkers, and Senator Pat
McCarren, the tall leader of the Brook
lyn Democracy, was still alive. Attell
had been fighting for months, always
with success, and had a neat bankroll
put away where the mice couldn't nib
ble. He rather fancied himself at the
pony game, too.
"I got a tip to play Prince Armor,"
he said. "Prince Armor! I'll never
forget that name. I wasn't going to do
It, when I saw McCarren go to It. I
saw him bet $25,000 on Prince Armor
and I thought that If It was good
enough for him it was good enough for
mo. So I sent in $11,000. And we were
Just nosed out of th money.
"That made mn mad. I thought I'd
get It back, end I lost $30,000 more In
three days. Then I went to Saratoga
and make book end I dropped $20,000
more. When I got away from there I
had my wife's Jewels In soak. That
was enough for me. I told her that
I never would play again why, we
were so poor that I owed for our board
bill between fluhts and I never have.
All I made In three or four years was
cleaned up, but I am' wise now. They'll
not do It again.
He began as a "tough boy in the
San Francisco streets. He is a bit
proud of that early record, too. Be
ing the ne kid in his gang who "packed
a punch," the othrrs relied on 'nlm to
do their fighting for thorn. Now and
then some kid belonging to another
gang would have the death sign put on
htm by the overlords of the kids that
Attell trained with.
'bot Clever In Denver.
It was in Denver that he "got clever."
Up to that time he had always fought
on the swapping theory taking a wal
lop to give a punch. But he saw
George Dixon fight Young Corbett, and
saw that elusive black man make Coiv
bett miss while never missing Corbett,
"I'd never seen anything like that be
fore," said he. "That is. nothing good
like that. I watched Dixon, and when
I got away I practiced his footwork and
his blocking. Two weeks later I waa
asked to meet Dixon. Somehow, it
seemed as though his cleverness went
to me when we touched gloves. I was
Just as shifty as he was, and f Or a time
I was so clever I used to get roasted.
The papers said that I had lost my
punch. That made me mad. and I
turned in to knock 'em out for awhllCV
But that didn't pay. You hurt your
self when you try to win by the K. O.
route sll the time. You're apt to smash
your hands and a fighter's hands are
the tools of his trade. What would yoa
think of a plumber who would smash
his pipe wrench every time ha took a
Job?
"Yoti lose money by It too- I nurt
my hand on Willie Jones on December 4,
and I have had to pass up half a dosen
engagements since then. I suppose
they would have netted me $4000.
