He saw It, but grew ?M exceed that he almost as kicked out ef the club. Somo Introduction for the IfcUer who was destined to become feather lirelfht champion of tho world I At that time Johnny weighed close to Iim pounds: He was a frail, sickly looking lUf, but showed In hi actions while he liming a ton el for Dunn that he was as rsalck and actlvo as a cat. He seemed to :U a bundle of steel springs. Kllbane had been in tne Doling game ttdy a few months. He had appeared In a Fewple of bouts In Cleveland, but little or kBethlng was known of his prowess If he (hi any. lie was Jimmy Dunn's companion lent than anything else. low Johnny Started Every champion attributes something to Mt success, but Kllbane got his start in jits boxing game and became a title holder llteiiuse Jimmy Dunn did not care to stay rt slope In his training camp at Crystal Pteh, near Vermillion, O. Dunn was train ";'t tor a- fight and called up a friend In 4"? Cfenland to send him a sparring partner.

"Nobody but a kid. and I think he Is too IKaH,' replied tho friend. "He wouldn't i U of 'any ilse to you." J "Benu him anyway," retorted Dunn. "I'm tired ot sleeping In this place all alone isd anybody will be welcome. I can keep fata as company until a good sparring fUrtner comes along." That afternoon Johnny Kllbane saw Jim.

Ho out pointed Tommy Kllbine no relation In twcnty-Ihe rounds In a barn near CIee land In 1901, and recehed J40S, the largest purse up to that time. Johnny receUed his first start In tho tast In 1910, and IJllly Kans. the Ameri can League umpire, was responsible for it. Lans wrote to a friend In Boston boosting Johnny to the skies, and Kll oane was asked to meet Bobby Tickle, In iioston, for $100. Johnny accepted, but on the night of the fight Tickle was delayed Hjui oung uynon substituted. Tyson was about to be knocked out In the second round when Tickle nppeired. Tho bout wm stopped and Tickle taken on. Kllbane out pointed him In ten rounds. .Then came a number of other bouts until the Attell fight out ,on the coast, when Johnny won the championship. He Ins defended It ecr since, and despite the howl lngs of the critics, wiped out every con tender for tho featherweight title. He stands alone, and If he does any boxing In the future It must be among lightweights, johnny now Is too good for his clas. Object Lesson This Is the story of how Kllhnn. t,r.. pared himself for tho championship. Ho built himself from the ground up started um as a green kid. overcame all obstacles and finally mounted to tho top. It Is an ob ject lesson for others to follow, whether It be boxing or any other line of endeavor. with all of the honors thrust upon him, Johnny Kllbane Is the some now as he was when ho first met Jimmy Dunn. Modest and retiring, ho acta like anything but a champion of the world. He doesn't know tho meaning of the words "swelled head " He treats every one alike, whether he be the worst preliminary boy In the world or the mayor ot a city. Courteous at all times, KUbane has made a host of friends all over tho country, nnd ho will keep them to the end. We were ln Cleveland when Johnny was training for his flght with Chaney. It was an Important battle, and one would conclude that the champion would think of nothing but his coming battle against tho challenger. Such was not the case. He trained hard, got himself Into the best possible shape, but every night before he retired he would at tend to some of the charity work with which he is connected. Helps Many Families This Is not generally known, but Kllbane has a long list containing the names of poor people In Cleveland, and every week he sends something to their homes. Many families are dependent upon him for sup port On. the night we vlBlted Kllbane at his homd an old lady was waiting to see him. Her son had enlisted In tho navy, and as he was her only support, she wanted Johnny to use his Influence to get him out. Kll bane knew he could do nothing, but he pacified her and gave her $50 to pay her expenses. Then he made an entry In his little notebook, put down the woman's name and from now on she gets 125 a month. This Is how the featherweight champion of the world spends some of his money. At Christmas time he loads his automobile with baskets of food and visits the homes of all of his "friends," as he calls them. It takes a week to make the rounds, and the champion works from early morning to late at night. KUbane takes the boxing profession se riously, but he does not believe he Is per fect. When he goes Into a boxing match he has confidence in himself, but realizes that he, like every one else, Is likely to feel the effects of a knockout. Before the Chaney battle he said Be was physically perfect, never felt better In his life, but said Chaney had a chance to win. DOUBLES FINAL REACHED IN ST.

Coach Dennis took advantagn of the halt holiday yesterday and put tho Villanova, College football aquad through a atrenuoua afternoon'a practlco on the collego field. Aa on Tuesday, elementary work was again In order, and much time wan anent on It. Captain Lynch waa In charge of tho line men. while Uennfa htmself took command of ths backfleld candidate. Tho aauad was then In atructed In several new playa. and a long signal drill followed this, to get the new for mations working smoothly, llecauso of the auc eess which the team had with It last ear. Coach Hennla dwelt extensively on the forward pass. Dutch Forst. who atarred at halfback for Villanova during tho last four ears, haa been assisting Dennis. TECHNICAIj tangles, horseshoes, black cats, clover leaves ml many other things have) nil been decided to figure In golf tournament pairings. The problem has almost reached that acute stage where many quarters will de mand that It be submitted to the national body nnd a definite ruling laid down for the manner In which the pairings shall be made, It Is likely that the matter will be dls runed by the United States tlolf Associa tion nt Its next meeting. An It now stands, there are two great heads under which pairings are made, either by drawing names from a hut or other hollow article or by the so-called "au tomatlo" method. In which tho names are) written on tho scroll according to the order ln which the lucky folk qualify. There Is much leeway In each method and many wavs of going about It. Up to Committees The problems of pairing wete much dis cussed by critics Just after tho Herthellvn pairings. Committees mora or less have tho Job on their hands and are at liberty to use whatever method they choose. In this case the automatlo pairing was used ln which the top of the list was paired against the ninth plaver to qualify, No. ! against the tenth and so on. This method Is an accepted practlco In this country. Two sides were taken in tho dlrcusslon. that for the defense being that, according to this method, the bost players were practically sure of coming through to the later matches without being drawn against each other In the first round, ono or tho other being necessarily elimi nated. The opposition protested that It gave tho poor plaver no chance In the tourney and that ainco the project was to bring the four best players together In the semifinals tho four best plavers might Just as well play for the title In the first place nnd have done w 1th any chances of upsets. ln most cases the finalists are determined according to tho way pairings are mado up. and It would surely seem that there should be a definite ruling on tho matter. Luck o' the Draw The sentiment In national circles favors tho "luck of tho draw." In the amateur championship at Merlon, thirty-two num ir. representing the plavers to qutllfv. w ero dropped ln a hat nnd thirty-two other numbers, representing tho future poslttors of tho players on tho pairing map, wero dropped ln two different hats. The graj haired and august officials ex tracted first a slip of paper from tho gayly banded panama of President Fraiu: B. Woodward. Suppose It was No. 1, which was W. C. Fownes. Jr., the medal wlnnci. A Blip waa then drawn from the other hat, wlch was No. 32. Fownes was then placed as last man in tho lower bracket Iluxton came out the second hat as No By SANDY McNIDLICK 31, and was paired with him. According to one of thoso present, the Philadelphia championship pairings were mado by pair ing the names as they were extracted from the hat, the first two being paired up and so on. The Junior championship was according tothe luck of tho draw. The national this ear could not havo worked out any betle. Inco the nlaytjrs were evenly distributed In both halves, according to ability. Not Real Cases Mnny critics contend that the qualifying scores arc not a true, criterion of ability nt match play nnd should tint be used as a basis for pairing Many contend also Hint there Is the mental haxard set tip for the poorer plaver In being deliberately stacked up ngalnst a better plaver, lie knows that he Is supposed to get Itched and he forthwith does get licked. llut If he draws a better ptayer from the hat, he cusses his luck, but plays for all he Is worth anjhow, without any mental hazard. To Illustrate tho cut-and-drlcd ten dancles of tho automatic method, every one of the first nlno In the nrthelln pairings won her match yesterday, mostly by singu larly wide margins. This might not always happen. When ptajers qualify for the first sixteen, they like to have a chance, at least, to live through a match or two. There are argu ments In favor ot both methods of pairing. What the players demand Is a standard ruling to end the controversy. Chicle Uvnns, ciar of titan tee tartars, has Issued tho defl. according to his friend, Charles I.udwlg, to Jerry Travers and Francis Oulmet" for a match with him, as the result of many opinions that tho diminu tive open and amateur champion could not have won his title this year if th.e two eastern links moguls had been ln thp running. "Let them come on," said Chick. "1 will ploy them on their own terms nnd they can make their own weight." The match would be a most dazzling so cial function, anJ. fans all over the'eountry wait with bated breaths to sea whether tha challenge wilt be accepted.
