HI decisive and clean-cut victory over the Englishman Tuesday night is one reason, and tho other Is that he considers himself the only legitimate 133-pounder who con dofcnil tho title, It Is almost a certainty thnt Johnny's claim will not bo taken seriously, but It furnishes food for thouRht. The featherweight boss has Just ns much right to It as any one else, for who Is there in the country at present -who can beat him at 183 pounds? There Is only one dangerous man Ucnny Leonard and wo are told that ho cannot make the weight. Then there Is Johnny Dundee, but the Wop has been slipping fast, and is not nearly so good as he was last ear. The other lightweights, weighing from 140 to 160 pounds, cannot be considered, so It looks as If Johnny had the field all to himself with the exception of a feeble chirp from the Dundee camp. A battle between this pair would simplify matters and clear up the situation to a certain degree, and then the argument would start nil over again. But what Is tho legitimate lightweight limit? Some say 133 pounds and others claim It Is 13S. Frankly, we iuihm the buck to some one else. It Is a well known fact, however, that the tllleholdcr has tho say about tho weight question, but it is doubtful If the public would allow him to boost the figures too high. Freddy Welsh has his tioublcs in making 13.", and no doubt would like to add ft couple of pounds to that and make It tho legitimate limit. ' ... TF THK champion is allowed to dictate on the legal weight limits, hete Is a problem to study over. Three enrs ago Willie Median was boxing at 122 pounds. Just suppose at thnt time ho won tho chnmplonshlp In the featherweight division and defended It successfully against all comers. Today he weighs close to 200 pounds What Is the answer? Kilbane Willing to Meet Leonard If He Can Make I'M Ringside AFTER Kilbane tilmmed Welsh theie was considerable talk about matching the victor with Benny Leonard In a ten-round bout in New York some time within the next month. This did not pass tho conversational stage, but it reached the ears of Kilbano, and he had a few lde.ih to express on the subject. "I will be glad to box Benny." ho said, ' but I will not allow him to enter the ring looking as big as a house. I consider the lightweight limit Is 133 pounds ringside, and Leonard will have to make that weight If lie wants to talk business 1 will meet anybody In the world at 131, but that Is the limit. I cannot give away too much weight and expect to have a fair chance" Speaking of weights, here ! an inside stnr of the welghlng-ln stunt pulled Tuesday night. Kilbane made no attempt to take off any poundage, but tried hard to put it on. This was dllilcult. as ho was training strenuously, nnd he continued to tip the beam around the 12S-pound murk. The day of the battle he weighed a shade under 128. but announced his Wright as 130. to conform to the New York law, which prohibits bouts when there Is a difference of more than ten pounds In the men. Welsh Aliened the indicator up t 134 4 at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, but entered the ring the pounds heavier lit- looked drawn, showing that the weight was made with consldeiable dltlkultv. After the bout Johnny Weighed himself and found that he had taken off foui pounds nnd scaled 124, Yesterday he weighed 130 with his clothes on Kilbane still Is a legitimate 122 pounder, and can make that easil When he takes on the lightweights in the coming campaign he will not weigh more than Via. which gives his opponents the advantage of seven pounds ... THIS Is the third time a featherweight champion has defeated If ou can call popular decisions defeats the lightweight tltlcholder. Abe Attell had Battling Nelson hitting the ropes, diving into the spectators and running his head against the posts one night at the National A. C. here, and Terry McGovern knocked out Frank Erne in their battle. Terry, however. Insisted that Eme weigh 128 ringside, and Frank was too weak to defend himself. B Fred Toney, Latest Xo-Hit Ticirler, Has Varied Career IG FR.ED TONEY. Cincinnati's most tecenl hero, at last has come into his nwn- T.tk ppn othpp twirler in the bisr leaeues. he has clreamprt nf tri Hav when his name could be placed In the hall of fame with the other no-hit twlrlers, but he also had another Idea in mind. He wanted to prove that lie could "come back, and this recalls some ancient hlstoyr. Several years ago Fred was twirling for the Winchester Ky . club in the Blue Grass League. One day he pitched a 17-innlng no-hlt contest, and performed this feat while a scout for t-he Cubs was among those preent in the grandstand. Toney was signed by the Chicago Nationals and heralded as n wonder when he broke Into the big show. Hut Fred exploded as a latge league star. He had worlds of speed, hut his control was awful. He lasted a couple of years and was shunted to Louisville, where he had ills good, and bad dajs, but mostly bad. He was given another chance, but couldn't stay up, so he went back again and twirled Indifferent ball. Finally at the end of the 1914 season he was turned loose and politely requested to shift for himself. He was a free agent, with nothing but a reputation of having the "speed of a railroad train but wild as a mountain hare." But Toney was not discouraged. He had a sneaking Idea that he had the goods and could pitch baseb?l as well as any of the so-called stars. He tried to land a Job with one of the southern clubs, but they gave him the Icy stare and the frigid shoulder. In desperation he wrote to Charlev Hcrzog and asked for a Job. He said that all he wanted was a trial and would pay his own expenses on the training trip. Herzog took him up and Fied was put through the paces. The big pitcher showed up well and the Cincinnati manager decided to put him on the payroll. HE DID good work in 1&15, and last ear showed an Improvement. He pitched In 41 games with. a total of 300 innings, and won 14 and lost 17. He struck out 1)6, gave 78 bases on balls, made fi wild pitches and 7fl earned runs were scored. This year ho has won four out of five, which points to a real record. Holds Chicago Cubs Hitlcss for Ten Innings IT SEEMS strange that Toney hhould pitch the best game nf his career against the club that turned him loose. Tho Windy City aggregation was hel hltless. and scoreless for ten Innings, thus giving Fred a chanco to prove once more that they sometimes ::come back." It nlso is a strange twist of fate that another castoff, Jim Thorpe, should be Instrumental in winning tho game. .Urn's hit to Vaughn In the tenth did not reach first base in time to catch the Indian and the runner scored. Kopf, who was cast adrift by the Athletics, came In with the winning: run. The castoffs seemed to have had a busy day Jim Vaughn, by tho way, also camo In for his bhare of glory The hefty touth paw breezed through nine innings without allowing a run or a hit and, accord ing to the box score, camo out of the gamo with only one blngle chalked against him, that coming in the tenth. It was n tough game for Hippo to lose, as a glaring, error by Cy Williams was responsible for the defeat. In the last inning Kopf singled and the next man fanned. Hal Chaso lifted a high fly to center, which should have been an easy out, but Williams muffed It and Kopf kept going to third, on tho throw-in. The next batter waa disposed of and Thorpe hit that easy roller which allowed Kopf to score. Had it not been for that fooalo they probably, would bo playing yet. THE season Is Just three weeks old nnd three hltless games have been twirled. Clcotte blanked St. Louis on April 14 and Mogridge handed it to the Red Sox on April 24. Now the National League breaks in with one. The pitchers must be going good this year. Boston Braves Made Things Interesting for the Fans Yesterday THE beanball was conspicuous by its absence in the combat esterday, but StaJHnirs's squabblers helped make the day a success by adopting different tactics. Instead of taking it out on the Phillies, they gave vent to their wrath when the umpires failed to decide plays the way they saw them, and three were chased to the clubhouse. In the sixth inning there was a close play at first, and JohnnyEvers, who was In the coacher'a box, let out a prolonged howl. He fol lowed this up with a vigorous protest nnd was sent to the bench. More harsh words were spoken and Jawn was canned for the day. The only trouble with Evers was that he thought out loud. That's a bad habit, as no p!ayer ever won a decision from an umpire on the ball field. Two other players Joined in the chorus, and they, too, were ordered to tako an early shower. Outside of that, the ball game was very good. Dumb base running on the part -of the Phils, which resulted in a score, won the game, but as It turned out in iur favori it might be best to call it wonderful work. Cravath and 8tock at- empted to move up a base after Wilholt failed to throw out Bancroft at the plate 'i aiter catching Whitted's fly, and dowdy whipped the ball to Smith. Red had a " chance to get either man and retire the side, but he threw the ball away and v Stock came home. B i ARNEY DREYFUSS, owner of the Pirates, Is a Barney's complaint Is over the Merkle situation. bit hot under the collar. He takes the position that f ju pirates deserved consideration above the Cubs when it came to placing ..jlerkl for the best good of the league. The Smoky City boss states that he CHrnar.BWiets an ow for the first baseman, out got scant consideration. . .' -Lta.V.'.'I-.-lr 4 - ... vun'lTlrwfiui without rruintfnnlnar AIN'T IT A GRAND AND GLORIOUS FEELIN'?

Claike says there are two golfers In this country whom he neer expects to beat, and they are Max Marston and his brother. He has never been able to beat either, though he plays golf Just as well as either, better niRny times. But his brother, It Is said, ran take Clarke out at Baltimore, where the two play, and beat him any day of tho week, Sundays and holidays In cluded This Is a strange fact. Also pit the tall Marston against chunky Clarke and it is Invariably curtains for the latter. Grudge Match Clarke went to the somlflnals of the na tional last year at Merlon and was the one to eho Chick Evans about the toughest match he had In the making of his fame at Merlon the youthful Corkran not only beat Perry Adair, but he also ousted one of the local buds of the last season, Ueorge Hoffner, who went to semifinals of the local championship last ear. Hoffner, we hapiii to know, was ill at the time. Another thing which Bounds like a sorry alibi, but which It the fact, was that his mldlron had been mislaid out of his bag and he tiled to use a club of Benny Bayers Instead It didn't work. whih worked against success for the local youth. Hoffner la playing a good game now, and If he meets Corkran he says he Is going to make up for the lots of that match In the national There will be great doings, for both are master shotsmen Hoffner, with Kd Clarey, seems to be the leading candidate for honors from the Quaker City.

He has been the hero of some thrillers at Atlantic and is chock-full of the old unexpected Ho brought his gang down from Frank ford, Including some of the famous Nestor team that challenged the world last year for the "old man's championship." Gnterlaining Idea The (.tea being agitated by the New York Nensp-t r Coif Association la swell, fining every golfer so much the foozle, the pio ceeds to he dumped Into the lap of the Red Cressets or the Coiernmont for Its mili tary plans. The only trouble Is the plan does not go far enough. The scheme, as we have It, merely contemplates a war tax on every ball that In whiffed, toppdi". sclaffed, flubbed, sliced and otherwise mis treated "Why not draw lime lines actoss the stretch In front of the driving tee'."' sug gested a local golfer, sunning himself In the links rlalto today "Spread the white line about fifty yards In front of tho tee and eiery golfer falling to carry that dis tance In his drle must pay a fee before he can play his second and until he gets out of the boundars " Another conversationalist favored a line for every shot taken in a trap, pit or hazard, "he nnvermncnt could then retire," was th thought of this player, "nnd live In the lap of luxury the rest of Us days If this Idea in Itself were taken up all over tho coun try, for there Is no section of a golf course so assaulted as the hazards. The fine could he boosted on a hall taking the water hazards." He favored a death circle around the hole also, two or three feet in diameter, and every putt In that clrclo that was missed could bring more fines trickling out of the oppressed p'ayer's pockets. Nincteen-IIolc Shots One side of the situation that met with real approval waie" the fine at every shot on the nineteenth hole Indeed, this matter hi being seriously taken up by clubhouse committees at many of the local golf clubs, with the Idea of putting the price so high on this liquid comfort in woe Joy that the golfer will eventually lose Interest In the hole, for the duration of the war. at least. "If this side of the game Is played too lustily In war times," said one chairman, "It appears to mo that one of tho best argu ments for the continuation of golf will be lost sight of, namely, the exercise and train ing It gives for the events to come whereby the golf conscript will need all the stamina and strength he can call upon " PITCHERS WERE WHALED F OR FAIRW WAY BACK IN '87 AND BILL SUNDAY WAS AMONG THEBEARCAT BATTERS Thirty Years Ago Evangelist, Walloping Pill .359, Joined in Great Attack on Hurlers.'

JAFFE JOHNNY KILBANE got less money for his ten-round bout with Lightweight Champion Fred Welsh than he did when h met Kid Williams, then bantam cham pion, in a six-round bout In Philadelphia March 17. 1916. For the Philadelphia con test the featherweight champion, who met Williams nt 122 pounds ringside and Jeopardised his title, although had he knocked out Williams th latter still would have retained his laurels, received a flat guarantee of $5500, Williams got the same purs. Kilbane gambled In his New York contest for a percentage of 30 per cent. Th gate receipts amounted to more than 113,000, and the Cleveland boxer pulled down a little more than J4000 for his share. Prices of admission ranged from $J to $18, Another contest, one with a referee's decision at the finish, would prove a wonderful drawing card. It Is hoped that Welsh will agree to a teturn bout with Kilbane, at Cdar Point, O., where Matt Hlnkls may want to stage the bout. In this event it would be a fifteen, rounder to a decision, and there Is no doubt thst. If the American fulled to knock out the Britisher, the Clsvsland phsnom would win the lightweight tltls on points. Kll ban is Welsh's superior, both as a boxer and as & puncher i In a twenty-rounder the American could knock out "No-decision" Krsddy, and in a short, bout Johnny could outpoint blm. utter showlnr sood form In the prellmi.
