JOHNNY KILBANi:, fcthcr eight champion of the world In Intl. URiln
On net Monday night he will nppcar In hit first profcsioital rnsiiKC
toent since that battle with Benn I.tonqr.l at Shlbo l'.irk on .Tul JS, 1017
Johnny was defeated all but counted out In the third round when hi,
rianager, Jltnnn Dunn tosed the towel Into the rlnp Kllbmo w.ii not
knocked out, for the battle ended with the fcatheruclRht champion sprawled
n the floor trjlng alnlv to irlso while Leonard stood triumphantly ocr
him waiting to land tho finishing blow. Bill Uotap who v.n oftltl.U time
keeper, said the round had but two econd, more to go when tho nutlet-ins
towel ended the uneven contest
It was one half minute later tint Wlbanc jcelltiff to llli corner and
Searing tho deafening tearing cheers of the crowd heatitiK ngilnst his
eardrums, realized tint he at last hid tasted the bitterness of defeat.
But he was game and took his beating liko a man. Intc"u3 of framing
up alibis and pulling that old stuff about belnff 'out of Miipe" or claiming
ho was the victim of a luckj punch, ho walked acioss the ring und con
gratulated the victor He told tho world that the best man 1ml won, and
tip to this dav hasn t offered nn exce Furthermore, he ncter will.
Johnny Kllbane is Just is big In defeat as when lie wins
The boxing gloves were laid aside after this battle and Johnnv went
sJnto a bigger game He was the first boor to volunteer his Fcrvkcs to
thVUnlted States arms as an instructor Ho m ide a special trip to "Wash
ington to confer with Secretarv of War Baker, and when Coctor Ka-
eroft was placed In charge of the training camp activities commission
Kllbane was the first man to receive an appointment
He more than made good At Camp Sherman he devctoped a fighting
treak in every pupil. Ho combined a militarv caitness in organization
and a fighting concentration which opened the cses of the oHlclals. In
fact, his svstem was fo good that It was pWccd In the other camps
throughout the countrv

Johnny Kilbanc's Return Will Stimulate Boxing
TOHNNY'S return will mean much to th boxing game He is a flghtet
W from his heels up and does not know the word fear. Shortly after win
jilng the championship from Abe Attell he defeated every featherweight
yln the country and was forced to step out of his class to find opponents
e eliminated all of tho 133-pounders with the exception of Leonard, and
ence almost wrested the title from Freddj Welsh when he had the Eng
lishman all but out in a bout In New York Johnns meet!? them all, and
now that he is back on the Job the sport will be stimulated.
I know Kllbane well as a boxer and often sat at the ringside to see him
work. He is a featherweight, which means he can make 121 pounds ring
side. He never puts on much weight and right now after eighteen months
of idleness, does not weigh more than 128 pounds But he is t marvelous
boxer, as shifty as a shadow and tan lind h blow which could knock out
a middleweight. He Is a miniature Bob ntzsimmons -with wide, powerful
boulders and spindle legs From his waist up he s built like a welter
weight, but his slender underpinning keeps him in the featherweight class
Johnny alwas fights with a smile on his face not ono of derision for
his opponent, but a smile which Is half amusement and half that bold
Irish love for the game He is the greatest champion that ever wore the
featherweight crown, for he has more than native abilll Ho Is clean and
fair, never takes advantage of an opponent and plajs out his strings to
the end.
When he announced his retirement after war was declared he believed
he waa through with boxing for all time The game was too uncertain
and his b'lnd father was after him tonstantlj to quit He feared his son
would suffer a similar fate Johnnj's wife also wanted him to give up
theort.
FOHA'AY uill be thirty years old on April 18, and still ranks u-ith
the best boxers in the country. Since. Uist Xoiember he has been
training for his come-back for hr did not care to giic vp hli pio
fession and loished 1o know uhether or not ha ivas able to stand
the strenuous icorA tie ciidcntly has pasted the test and ice will

Kilbanc's Hard Battle to Beach Top
TZ'ILBANn'S life reads like one of Jack London's books At the age of
-r'Vlx his mother died and he struggled along until he was twelve jears
v old, when his father lost his eyesight Johnn was forced to leave school
tld sell papers in an effort to support the family. Afterward ho worked
on the ore docks. In the freight jards and finally landed a small job in u
railrpad office. He always read the sporting news and followed the careers
of all of the boxers. At night he used to go to different gvmnaslums to
ee the boxers train, and it was on one of those v Isils that Johnny got his
,tart in the Doxlng game
It was in the spring of 1907 and Jimmy Dunn, who then was one of
the best lightweights in the countrj was training at Vermillion, .O , for a
bout, with Phil Brock Jimmy was all alone and wanted company, so he
phoned to Cleveland for a sparring partner A man was selected, but did
ot put in an appearance, so the owner of the pvmnaslum offered to send
substitute.
"There's a kid here who weighs about nlnetj-elsht pounds but s
anxious to learn boxing." he said "He won't be anj good to ou, but if
jrou want him I'll ship him to Vermillion '
"I don't care who he is replied Dunn, 'send him on Anybody will
f"o tOTelieve the monotonv He can sweep out my bungalow and talk m
m, if nothing else
vjohnny took the Job and worked hard from the start. He ran on the
toad With Dunn until he could go no further, and every night when he
taggered into camp he would try to give tho boxer a rubdown At first
Dunn wanted to send Kllbane back to Cleveland, but the boy's persever
ance and loyaltj were so great that he was allowed to stay. In time ho
aonned the gloves and Dunn was surprised at tho speed displayed by the
boy. He trained him, taught him evcrv thing he knew and within six
months Kllbane was boxing around Cleveland. Soon he hit his stride and
developed so rapldlj that Dunn quit boxing to devote all of his time to the
aewmanel. Johnny continued to Improve until Abe Attell was forced into
a' match and the featherweight title changed hands
i VILBASR had to dispute of Joe filters, J'atsy hlmc. Charley
! White, Johnny Dundee and otheis before Midi icould con
j. glider, him, but the little Irishman accepted the task and got aicay
" with it,
nOHfiSY ha not defended hip title since .September 1 1316 when he
W eliminated George Chane at Cedar Point. O Clianey was the best of
thefeatherw eight;, had a Ions .trine of knockouts behind him and the.
Watch attracted nationwide Interest. Matt Hlnkle, of Cleveland, was pro
moter and referee and offered a purse of $15,000. the largest in history for a
featherweight battle.
On that day Kllbane showed his true form. Starting out In the first
round, he Jabbed Clianey until his glove burst at the side. A halt was
e4Utd to replace it, but only eight-ounce gloves could be found. Johnny
idn't care, donned the big pillows and the battle started again.

Yours Truly and St. Co-
luniba to Meet in Second
Game of Series
SAME LINE-UPS PICKED
A game upon which hinges the cham
pionship of the American Basketball
.League will be played this evening at
Trajmore Hall. The combatants are
Yours Trulv, first-half winners, and St.
Columba, the champions and winners of
second-half honors.
The first meeting between the rival
quintets occurred on Monday evening,
and although the Saints entered the
game a decided favorite, they Just man
aged to emerge In front by a single
point, 22 to 21, and succeeded In win
ning only through their ability to cage
foul goals.
The strong defense of Yours Truly
proved a revelation and the Saints'
heavy scoring machine was powerless to
come through with its usual bevy of
field goals. Coffey's champions did not
register a two-pointer in the final
twenty minutes of play, a feat no other
club has been able, to accomplish all
season.
Engle lo Play Brown
Manager Klelnberg has decided to be
gin tho game with the same line-up
which finished last Mondas's affair. This
means that Charlie Engle vtdll line np
at forward and oppose Jimmy Brown.
that Engle has been able to hold Jimmy
in every game they have played, and
this wns verv apparent In the contests
the Saints plajed New York Ship ln
Camden.
Jimmy Coffey is confident of winning,
and has already gone so far as to ar
range several series with the best teams
In the state, lie has only made tenta
tive arrangements for these contests,
but one of tho big attractions will be
Harrlsburg, the club that has been the
foremost In the state all season. The
