Attell was no older than some of the youngsters entered in the Vancouver College Emerald Gloves tournament when, in 1904 at the age of 16, he claimed the vacant world title. His claim wasn't recognized until he knocked out Harry Forbes in five rounds. He lost the title to Johnny Kilbane in 1912 in 20 rounds, Attell, who fought out of San Francisco, was in New York City awaiting surgery for cat- ayacts in a last-ditch try to save his sight, when he met Vancouver publicist Jim Alli- son, who told him the Emerald Gloves tournament -- for 14 years a top West Coast amateur boxing attraction--was having a tough time. Shortly afterward, the gloves arrived addressed to Brother J. E. Smith, boxing moderator at the school. A letter from At- tell's wife said her husband wanted to do something to "help boxing and for the boys." BEST GLOVES MADE The gloves will go to the win- ning team in the Jan, 24-25 tournament. Brother Smith, of the Chris- tian Brothers of Ireland--the teaching brothers who operate the college--said "I've never seen gloves as good as these. They're the best money can buy." The brother, who runs the boxing class and teaches Eng- lish in a Brooklyn accent, is also from New York, the or- der's North American head- quarters. Attell was 16 when he turned professional. He won his first) 32 fights, 24 by knockout and defended his title 11 times.
