the bout yesterday afternoon. I never wns
hit so hard In my life and vvni paralyzed

'feflft yesterday nnd I have

gratulatc Kllbane nnd
wish him alt the luck
In tho world" This
was C'hancy's atnte.
inent this morning
after he had spent a
restless night follow
ing the biggest battle
of his career He
smiled through his
battered lamps nnd
peered through his
MAXWKt.I..
Hwollcn eyes, marks
left by Kllbnn'a stinging left Jabs, nnd
ehrugged Ills shoulders ns If to say, "Well,
It's nit over and I nm a lucky guy to be
.live"
Chaney wan out for 10 mlnutoi after
the blow landed. He wns carried to hit
corner by Joo I-cnls nnd Henry Hlet7cr,
where) he sat alt huddled up In a chair.
A doctor was sent for, but before he ar
rived the challenger had revived and stag
gered from tho ring. It was rather a mid
den ending to tho battle, und at firRt the
spectators thought that Chancy had quit.
There was no quitting, however, for the
Baltimore boy was out for keeps Just bh
soon ns the blow landed. It happened In
tho third round after two minutes and 27
seconds had passed
Chancy Rushes Champion
Kllbane was keeping Chancy at a dis
tance with his left Jab and George, furious
at being hit so often, stnrtcd to rush tho
champion Twlco ho was stopped by a
shower of lefts, but that did not keep him
back Chancy rushed a third time, and drew
'back his left to shoot at Kllbane's head or
body The blow never landed. Stepping In.
Johnny grabbed Chaney's arm and partly
twisted him around. Then he. placed hli left
hand on George's Jaw and tilted tho head
so that It could bo reached with a right
hook. Quick au n flash, Kllbane sent the
blow homo nnd Chaney dropped. He
grabbed Johnny around the waist, but tho
champion shook him off. The Baltlmoro boy
Jell to tho floor In a heap nnd did not get
up The knockout blow did not travel more
than nvo Inches.
Matt Hlnkle, the referee, waa as much
tturprlsed as any one. Ho slowly counted
three nnd then said: "What's the matter,
George, why don't you get up?"
"Keep on counting," shouted Kllbane.
"Do your talking afterward."
When Hlnklo finished the count Chancy
had been on the floor 1C seconds.
Was Big Surprise
Tho result of this much-talked-of battle
was a big surprise to the followers of box.

by tho wise persons and ho didn't even
have that. To uso plain, hard language,
Kllbnne made n sucker out of Chaney while
ho was In the ring Tho Baltlmoro boy
was helpless from tho start and It easily
was seen that there could be but one end
ing to the bout. George could not get past
Kllbane's left Jab. He tried every possible
means, but tho tantnllzlng glove nlwajs was
In his face.
K Inane ncted Just like Joe Gnna when
ho was In his prime, using his left until his
opponent was In position to receive n knock
out nnd then sending tho haymaker home
After holding tho usual arguments about
gloves and ever thing else, tho lightest set
wns selected nnd tho bell rang. Johnny
Immediately began using his left nnd In 10
seconds Chaney's face was as red as the
setting sun They clinched nnd George
landed a light left to the body. Then Kll
hnno hit Chnncy In the left evo with his
tight and sptlt his glove. This blow par
tially blinded tho challenger and he wel
comed tho rest which followed tho Inter
mission whllo another glovo was put on
Klbanc's hand
Chancy Is Helpless
When the battle was resumed Chancy was
as helpless as before he was bewildered,
and a swelling nppcartd under the injured
eje. Jnb after Jab was sent to Chaney's
head. Georgo shook his head and tried to
hit the urn ling face of Kllbane, but his
blows .never handed. Many times Johnny
Just stuck out his left hand and held
Chancy at a distance whllo Georgo swung
wildly with his left nnd right, tho blows

In the second stanza It was Just the same,
Johnny, fighting carefully at nil times,
stepped around. Jabbed repeatedly and
smiled at Chaney's fut lo efforts to land his
famous left smash that earned him the title
of "knockout king." But Chancy was only

It proved that n good left-hander had no

had no defense for a tight hook and Chancy
was In the same boat.
"No excuses aro ncccsrnry," sa d George
"I have met many boxers In mv day and
have been hit by them, but Kllbane hit
harder than any I ever met. He Is good
enough to beat nny lightweight In the world,
