ATTELL AGREES TO FIGHT
Another Match Is Made with Harry Forbes at 122 Pounds.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—Abe Attell has kept his promise and will give Harry Forbes another meeting under practically the same conditions that prevailed in their recent battle in St. Louis. The weight agreement was the only part of the affair that caused any hitch and Forbes insisted that the figure be made 122 pounds at the ringside. Attell finally agreed to this.
The defeat at the hands of Attell was a bitter blow to Forbes and the talk afterward of dishonesty hurt Harry not a little. It was a decidedly disappointing fight for Forbes and he has been trying ever since to get a return meeting with Attell.
No limit is to be placed on the number of rounds and the club, local or out-of-town, that makes the best offer will get the meeting.
