Tho world's champions aro still a baseball unit. and a long as they continue to bo a unit tho club that beats them will have to play a heap of baseball nnd play It excry day. BM w, t& ' 13.'" lVw w & Athletics Attack Gathering Momentum THE Mackmcn looked good even in defeat. H is no disgrace even to bo beaten four straight days by a club like the Bed Sox. Wo ore not ndinlttlng for n moment that the Sox aro going to win four straight victories in our fair city, lor they still havo to tako tho Bush and JIhr Johnson hazards and pet haps ono or two others before they can compllo a perfect score. Nevertheless, if that t,ad thing should como to pass It would not bo surprising, for the Sox aio tlu-f.iimo aggregation of ball players which balllcd tho Phils and tho Dodgers wltri neatness and dispatch. If they havo gono back any tho backsliding was not vislblo to tho naked oyo yesterday. Tho fact that tho Athletics registered eight hits for ten bases ngalnst tho pitching of "Babe" Ruth Is significant. Any ball team which can fctcp up to tho plato arid push out eight hits with that great left bander serving them up is achieving uomcthing of note. "Babe." was' right yestcrduy. As usual, ho grew atronger as tho game progressed, and In tho latter Innings was simply Invulnerable. .The Btlck work of Bodlo was particularly pleasing. "Ping" waddled up to tho gum four times and connected safely on all Jiut ono occasion. The Pacific coast mauler Would havo enjoyed a perfect day had it not been for the gtand larceny perpetrated by Harry Hooper In tho fifth. ' i ONE of tho most encouraging features of tho afternoon was tho splendid pitching of Ellis Johnson, the spltballcr from tho Vernon Cluli. , Kilbane and Welsh Will Stage a Wonderful Battle WHAT promises to be ono of the fistic: tieats of tho year will bo staged over in N'Yawk two weeks from today, when Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham pion of the world, meets Freddy AVoIsh, lightweight champion of the universe. This match lid's been hanging Hro for tho last year, owing to Freddy's loluctanco to sign the papers. Kilbane baa challenged him lepeatedly, and it was only througlutho hardest kind of work that tho match won closed. Johnny will bo outuclghed by llfteen pounds, but he cares nothing for that. Welsh is requited to weigh 135 at 2 o'clock, and as the bout will not go on until eight bouts later, tho lightweight champ will enter tho ling weighing close to 140 pounds. KUbano's best weight is 125, which is below tho lightweight limit and there will bo no question of his right to the tltlo in case ho slips ovor a haymaker. Klibano is ono Of tho hardest and cleanest hitters In tho game today. This :V, ' includes everybody, including mlddleweights. Ho Is built like Bob Pltslnnnons, w Tcltjl broad chest and spindle legs, and when ho lands on his opponent's chin, tho '') battle Is over. In his long career, Johnny"rnicly has entered the liny dcteiminc'd to knock out an antagonist that he has not accomplished his deshe. Ho mado paorj. ' . K or ueorg9 cjnanoy at ucuar l'otnt, unu a gianco over ins iccoiu shows that others havo met tho Bamo fate. In 1014, when Klibano was dubbed a dancing master nnd "cbeobo champion," be decided to "show his vociferous critics that they had tho wrong dope. Ho was matched to meet Joe Rivers and Joo took tho high dlvo In tho sixteenth lound, after assimilating cnougli punishment to flatten a couple of guys. Then came Olllo Kirk, a promising featherweight, who admitted, under pressure, that ho was KU bano's master in every stage of tho game. Ho boasted how ho would show up tho champion nnd a bout wns nnanged In Cincinnati. Olllo lilt tha mat In tho second stanza. Ono night, hero In Philadelphia, Klibano hnd a similar oxpeilcncc. Irish Patsy Clino was going good and Jack McGulgan gave him n match with tho champion. Johnny knew that Clluo wa a youngster nnd had a billllant futuro be fore him. and virtually had decided to bo easy with him. Patsy, however, didn't see It that way, so in the first round tried ills haidest to show what a "dub" tho Champion was and put him away for tho count. He even started to "kid" Johnny and that was his downfall. In tho second rourid, Kllbane's right met Patsy's jaw and the youngster was out for almost an hour. Next Thursday Kilbane will box ia 'tough youngster named Malt Brpck. In Cleveland. Brock has been seeking a bout for bomo tlmo nnd lepeatedly has boasted of what ho would do If ho over got Johnny in tho ring. Will ho meet the same fate as the others? ' TUT the big bout Is with Welsh, und It is possible that Johnny will save himself as much as posslblo on Thursday. The feather king is anxious to hold two titles, and Jt's a safe bet that ho will attain his dcsiro.if ho over tho Briton's Jaw. B to I connects properly with Almost Encourages Professionalism SUNNY, romping, frolicking May Day will mark tho inauguration of tho nice, new "amateur" ruling of tho Western Golf Association. It npplles only to golfers from Chfcago over to the wavo-slapped strand of tho Pacific Coast. Per haps there is nothing to be gained by taking a fling nt tho tondeious clauses plied up by the executive committee of tho W. G. A. in its efforts to elect a fence around amateurism, since its ruling will not affect any of tho play In tho East, but a word of protest seems to bo in order. The law, as a whole, has not received any approval, applause or satisfaction of any sort in 'Philadelphia. There is . .11 iUnt ! n1mna AnnniiiliiTAa nfrifaoalntinllam tP tint nnlnnll,, Juu.tui . $--vSt a ih nlnv Thlu nldn la found In tho clause which la to thn pftort that nn nmoi.. p;$l may receive his expenses and transportation incidental to playing In nn exhibition fjmatcHj -which appears on the face of it to bo a direct contraditlon of the preced- , rl tag clause, whicn aeciares against an amateur using ms sum ror exploiting any s. business, matter or thing.
