Welsh, lightweight champion. The "leak"
says the contest has been clinched, tho
papers signed, nnd now tho time, place
and purse only hnvo to bo settled for tho
Intcrchaniplonshlp ring tilt. Tho report
comes from Lancaster, Pa., nnd is sup
posed to havo been hinted by Jimmy Dunn
recently, when Kllbano's manager visited
that town.
If thh bout wcro really arranged It would
go down In history ns thi pugilistic classic
of the season, but wo personally do not
belleo that tho encounter will be Btaged
Not Hint Kllbano Isn't anxious for tho
fracas. He Is. nut Welsh has marked
at least two contenders for his laureli "ice,"
nnd Kllbane is tho other follow Johnny
Dundee, of Now York, has offered to box
Welsh for nothing; glo the Hrlton tho
entire gate receipts, and besides pay hln
own training expenses, yet Kreddy side
track Dundee lllto ho would a torpedo.
According to the report which 1 cached
this city from Lancaster, Dunn, in a con
Aersntlon with a promoter there intimated
that nrtieles for u Welsh-Kllbane bout were
signed, and that forfeit money has been
placed in the Jeans of a Cleclnnd news
paperman. In the event of tho bout really being held,
and to a referee's decision, there would be
good prospects of a boer wearing a double
crown, nnd ho wouldn't bo Wclh l-'reddy

REYNOLDS HAS PUNCH;
BEATS JACK DUNLEAVY
Clever Lightweight, in First
Local Match in Year, De
p velops Right Wallop
Philadelphia has several "prodigal soni."
Ono "camo back" last night, when Bobby
Reynolds, after an absence of moro than a
ear In a local ring, g.ic n eer exhibi
tion In defeating Jack Dunleavy nt the
Broadway Club and Bobby also procd
that he has developed a punch.
Reynolds never was guilty of knocking
out his opponents; ho was contented to win
on points. Just proious to his return home
he stopped one Red S.tunders In two lounds
In Cleveland, and fands hero gasped. Ilow
cer, last night Bobby proved that lie could
punch. In tho very first round a short
straight light-hand cross to Dunleavy's chin
dropped the Australian cleanly, but Jack's
shiftiness enabled him to weather tho round.
In tho second, third, fourth and fifth
rounds Reynolds bhowed that he still pos
sessed his same snappy left hand, and jab
ber Dunleavy repeatedly, outboxlng tho
Australian almost throughout . Several
times Bobby crossed hit right, landed a
few, but most of tho stiff ones missed their
mai k by scant margins.
Reynolds came through In the last round
with a hurst of speed nnd not only out
boxed Dunleavy, but ho nlso outfought his
opponent. Bobby was In nnd out, shooting
straight lefts Into Jack's face, and nt close
quarters Reynolds's Infighting had Dun
leavy In bad shape at tho finish
Billy Hlncs put up a great bout In tho
semifinal, winning from Muckles Riley. For
tho flrht few rounds Riley held his own, but
Hines's vicious body smashes greatly weak

I am also Inclosing7 a table giving the
estimated cost of equipment of the city
built lines, assuming the T. It. T. Co. to
be the operator. On this chart the cost
of equipment Is based on tho H'A" esti
mate of earnings and service required,
copy of which will be sent you If you so
desire.
Tho estimated results from operating
theso lines Independently of tho P. R. T.
Co. are now being checked and I' trust
to be able to send you these In a few days.
If there Is any other Information de
sired In connection with the pcrmlU-now
pending before you I shall bo glad to sup
ply It nt the earliest possible date.
In a table covering the various Items
which go to make up the equipment for
the entire system Director Twining esti
mates that it will require a total of 129,
826,000 to supply the Initial equipment and
to Increase It during the first eleven years
after the operation of the first line In order
to meet Increasing business. Should all
the lines begin operations simultaneously,
the Initial equipment he estimates at UT.
083,000, The equipment figures are all
basod upon the assumption that tho Phila
delphia Rapid Transit Company will be the
operator.
Tho equipment cost for the various) lines
and the time when Director Twining esti
mates each can begin operation follow:

Should the commission act favorably upon

ence on Monday after studying tho tables
submitted by tho Director, contracts will
bo awarded at once for the three sections
of the subway delivery loop. These have
been held up for moro than a month since

City club will hear
twining and ballard
Interesting facts concerning the transit
situation will be brought out. It was learned
today, at a meeting of tho City Club, which
will be addressed by Director Twining, of
tho Department of City Transit, and Kills
Ames Ballard, chief of counsel of tho Rapid
Transit Company
A wide divergence of views Is promised
for tho reason that Mr Twining Is opposed
to the pioposed lease of the Rapid Transit
Company, which was framed by Mr. Bal
lard. That thcro will bo no limit to candor
is evident by a remark made by Mr. Bal
lard. When asked If tho transit sltuntton
would he. discussed at the luncheon, ho said,
"Ye.-, and there will bo a little fireworks."
It will bo Mr. Twlnlng'a maiden speech,
and It is understood thnt he has consider
able data prepared for It.
Tho City Club also asked Colonel Sheldon
Potter, tho city representative on tho Rapid
Transit Company directorate, to speak, but
ho will he absent from tho city the day of
the luncheon.
