Little Betting on Result
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
CEDAU POINT, O., Sept. 4.
IN A natural amphitheater located near
the shores of Lake Erie, and bounded on
one side by a nice quiet scenic railway and
on the other side by a noiseless merry-go-round,
Johnny Kllbnne, featherweight
champion of tho
world, will de-
fend It I a title
against George
Chaney, the Hal
tlmore southpaw,
here, In Cedar
Point Park, this
afternoon.
Tho largest
crowd that ever
attended a. bout
In thin section of
tho country was
prosent this
morning nnd tho
steamboats, spe
cial trains and
hundreds of nu
tomobllcs d I s
gqrgcd their hu
man freight at
thn frnnt ilnnp
ROUBRT XV. HAXWBMi of tho fnmoUs
amusement park. Lnst night the advance
sale reached $25,000, and this morning a
long lino formed In front of tho Breakers
Hotel whero tho tickets wcro on sale. It Is
predicted that every scat will be taken,
which means a J54.000 house, tho largest
ever seen at a featherweight contest. As
the arena will scat but 10,000, and all of
the $3 and $5 seats already nrc gone, the
$7.60 nnd $10 boxes should easily be dis
posed of before the bout Is called at 4 p. in.,
astern time.
Both tho champion nnd the challenger
hovo mado the required weight with little
difficulty nnd wilt enter the ring In excellent
condition. They arc confident of victory
nil each says that If he loses, no excuse
will be offered. Clmney says ho will win
within 10 rounds, but KUbane Is more con
ser'atlve. Ho declares ho will win, but re
fuses to set a time limit.
Back Kilbane
But the conservatism Is only on Kllbano's
part. The boxing public Is behind him tp
a man, nnd 'every newspaper man save one
has awarded him the battle beforo It starts.
The boxers, too those who have fought
him In the past aro loud In their asser
tions that tho champion will win with lit
tle dimculty.
This sentiment has been echoed by tho
gentlemen who wear loud-checked suits and
noisy neckwear, nnd who generally risk
legal-tender on tho chances of ono of the
participants. They were anxious to bet
their money on this bout, but the only
chance they have Is to make mind bets,
as everybody wnnts to get down something
on KUbane.
Tho largest bet was made by James P.
Dougherty, tho baron of Lelpcrvllle, at the
Breakers last night, when ho put up $1000
even money that KUbano will knock out
Chanoy In less than 10 rounds.
A Baltimore enthusiast took the other
end.
Outsldo of that ono Instanco Cedar Point
resembled a race track on Sunday, with a
flock of ministers In the grand stand. Odds
of 3 to 1 on KUbane have been scorned.
Tho chances are that B to 1 will bo ottered
beforo the boxers enter the ring.
A Bad Sign
Old-tlr.ie ring followers and there are
many hero today shako their heads ut
this excessive confidence on tho part of the
public and say that It Is a bad sign. They
point out that In sports, more than any
thing else, the grandoldopo Is kicked to
pieces and surprises always nre sprung.
Kilbane is working under a terrible Jinx
handicap, and, according to the perform
ances of champions In the past, should be
dethroned by tho Invader from Baltimore.

1 will li- feotherwelsht rhamplon nf (he

. I nm In belter shape how than nt any time
In mr life. I have worked hard, trained
fnlthfnlly, and If I uni defeated no excuse
will lie offered,
If I don't drop Hie ennmplon before the
tenth round It will bo eay for me from the.
tenth to the fifteenth: I don't nee where
Kllbnne ha a possible thanre to win,
Hy JOHNNY KlI.TtAKU
(If course, I feel confident that I will win
from Chnney, hut I realize that I nm fnelnc
ono of the but men In the featherweight
rlnss. I do not flcure on wlnnlnr ensllr. I
will hare to do the brut I can nnd then hope
that I enn win nt the end.
Dinner Is n tlnnireroiis boy nnd n couple of
stiff punches will put anybody nwnr for the
count. I don't think be will do this, but If
he win from me I shall be the lint to con
(miniate blm. Then 1 will throw my lnes
nwny iiml retire. 1 then will hate hud
enough of the boilnc game.
manses as Chaney Is today. Tet he put
John I,, on his back for tho count nnd
staged the biggest upset In the history
of tho game. Bob Fltzslmmons was re
garded as a bum when he met Corbett. nnd
look what he did to Gentleman Jim. Then
camo Jeffries tho Joko of the boxing
world who defeated KHz.
In every big bout the chnllenger has not
been taken seriously and the critics have
gone wrong on tho dope. Young Corbett
was not even classed with Terry JtcOov
crn, Ad, Wolgast was not given ono chance
In a' thousand of beating Kelson, and you
can go down tho lino to provo that chal
lengers, ns n rule, aro not populnr until
after the battle. That's what makes box
ing so Interesting.
However, despite the grnndoldope, 1 firmly
believe that Kllbnno will win tho bout today.
Ho Is In better condition than nt any other
time since he won the tltlo from Abe At
tell, nnd that means he Is physically su
perior to Clianey. He had not been forced
to undergo tho "drying out" process to make
weight, as ho has been below 122 pounds
for a week. He Is strong, realizes ho Is
facing a tough proposition and Is not tho
least bit overconfident.
Yesterday tho champion took a short
workout on tho road nnd later sat down to a
big dinner, consisting of roast beef, potatoes,
corn and other things. He nto n henrty
meal nnd then drove to Cedar Point In his
auto.
Ho arrived hero at 6 o'clock, took a short
walk and ate another big meal. Then ho
stepped on tho scales and weighed 124
with his clothes on. This virtually Is 120
pounds stripped.
Now, If a boxer can cat like that, it shows
he Is In good shnne nnd Is licit fmrf.it tn
worry about tho wclghlng-ln agonies beforo
.j iigut. mi na naa 10 worry aoout is Hint
ho gctH n good night's rest, nnd Johnny
slept soundly last night. Ho was up at 8:30
this morning, took a short walk along the
shores of Lake Hrlo and nctcd lust llltn nnn
of tho excursionists hero for a day's outing.
jib is unuor no mental strain anil will give
the best ho has when he meets Chnney, and
Johnny's best Is cnouch to win from any
featherweight In tho world.
The Baltimore boy arrived at tho Break
ers last night, nfter motoring to Sandusky
and crossing the bay In the bout. George nnd
his manager, Henry Bletzer, made their
way through the crowd from the dock to
tho hotel, waving their hands In response
to tho noisy welcome, nnd shouting:
"There will be a new champion nfter
tho fight. KUbano will not last ten rounds."
Cedar Point today resembles a boxing
town In the distant past. People from all
ovor the country aro here nnd many were
forced to sleep all night on the grass.
Every room In the two hotels was taken
last night, and cots wero placed In the Cor
ridors. Sandusky, which is just across Oio
bay, also was filled to capacity and the
noieis mere nung up the "no sleeping room"
sign early In the evening.
Big league prices prevail everywhere.
One can purchase an anemic ham sand
wich for 25 cents, and meals that usually
went begging for' 35 cents a throw now are
masquerading ao dollar table d'hotes. If
their money holds out, few of tho spectators
will die of hunger before they escape. Any
way, there Is lots of water In the lake.
This morning Iteferee Matt Hlnklo visited
both Kllbf.ne and Chaney nnd found them
anxious to get Into the ring. Chaney will
be handled by Bletzer, Willie Beecher nnd
Willie Jackson, while Jimmy Dunn, Bryan
Downey, Jimmy Dougherty and Luke Gln
gly will be In Kllbane's corner.
An eight and a ten-round preliminary will
precede tho big bout.
An eleventh-hour attempt to prevent the.
Kllbane-Chaney championship bout failed
this morning when Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Price and Adjutant General Hough
representing Governor Willis, ruled that
everything was according to law.
It Is reported, however, In case of a
knockout the boxers, managers and pro
moter Matt Hlnkel will be arrested.
Tho day is warm nnd clear, making
weather conditions Ideal for tho battle.
Many Phlladelphlans aro at the ringside.
KUbane and
ed. with a si:
Chaney are nearly evenly match

A Word to Ty
Here you are on the crest of nine,
1'ou stand (n the rays of the gleaming
arc:
While straining stars of the lesser game
Train eager eyes from the somber dark;
A shadow interrupts the light
Your all but rounded record throws.
A hatsman swings from out the night,
The last grim leader of your foes.
With every swat that marks his trips
Against the slab he hurls defy
The threat of long-dctayed eclipse
And what's to be the niijteer, Tyt
IZccall the past the Nineteen Ten
That knew the smash of J.ajolc;
But you were master of him then,
The close-clipped winner of the fray.
tlecalt the past the seasons, Joe,
Swept down the course all set to shape
Defeat, wide grinning, lurried lo fcnoio
Tour final spurt had Won the tape
The ebblnp field's remaining card
Was Collins, as in former trials,
The iitmo.il riuh could nof retard
That record in the Master Files.
Uut another sets the pace
Another makes the final try
To foil the Ten-Year King of Place,
And what's to be the answer, Tyt

The Cubs and Mnckmen were Ihe only

In victory than three seasons.

Connie- Mnck merely be11' l'mc t0 "
John McGraw tried to nleco out bis
championship club and rebuild gradually,
but he found the Job beyond him. The only
way seems to bo n new start. Today, of
those who led the Giants home In front
through 1913, only Fletcher, Ilerzog, Burns
nnd Tcsrcau are left. Tho Giants, minus
Matty, Doyle, Merkle, Myers, Marnuard,
hardly seem to be the Giants.
But Giant rooters felt tho samo way
when Donlln, McGlnty, Bowcrman, Dev
lin, Mcrtcs nnd Brcsnahan left. In rebuild
ing his new winner. McGraw retained cnly
Mathcwson, Ames nnd Wlltse. Tho others
wcro cast adrift. Only three or four can
liurvlvo when the dismantling process
starts.
Those who have gone may yet play
great ball In new surroundings. I3ut their
big day In New York was about over. The
campaigns of 1314, 1915 and 1916 have
proved this beyond any debate.

That day Isn't coming until some time
nfter the war has ended, but a champion

affair and a big advance over tho tourna
