KILBANE COMES BACK,

TAKES THE VERDICT
1
Champion Faib to Impress
at Olympia, Visiting Floor for un Instant in
Third Round, Result of Left to Jaw
By HOBKRT W. MAXVKLl.
J-ports I'xlllor I'.irnlni Public I nil f r
TOHNXY KILBANE failed dismally In his attempt to "come back" last
night. The champion leathern pIkIh was defeated by rranklo Broun In
th6wlndup at the Olyinpla In six rounds of slow llghtlusr. Urovvn. who Is
not yet twenty years of ape, proved too itronc for the veteran and von four
of the six scislons. Ono was ccn and Killunc had the- sUth.
A left hook, which landed Hush on thn Jaw, put Kilbaue flat on his back
In the third round. It was a surprise wallop a iurprltp to Johnny and to
tHe 6000 spectators. The bojB were coming out of a clinch and Brown, tcclnc
an opening, whipped the blow across. Kllbane diopped, but was on his feet
' a the count of two. For a time it looked a If it was aJl over, but
Johnny's superior ring seneral&hlp saved him from utter defeat. Ho
stalled through the round, being on the defensive all of the lime.
IP That one blow won the lout for
f. and he tore into the champion from
1 1 his once-famous rlgnt, out nis judgment
the blows were wild ....
The most excited person In the aiena was Al Llppe, manager of Brown.
"Way "back in 1912 Llppe (aw Kllbane take the featherweight championship
from his boy Abe Attell. and last night he hail IMons of getting it back.
In the third round, when Kllbane was floored, he was almost wild with Joy.
"Tear Into him. Krankie'" ho cllcd. "Ho h.trn't a thing. Cio In and
trade punches with hlni. '
Brown followed Instructions and Johnny had his hands full from then
on. 1J was not until the end of the fifth that the champion was able to do
anything. Two rights to the Jaw slowed Brown considerably, and in the
sixth Kllbane was working better. H carried tho light to his younger foi
and was going good at the end. However, the oungstcr had piled up such
a big- lead that the erdlct went to him unanimously.
HXD Brown knocked out Kllbane last night he would not hair
icon the fcatlicncclght championship, tie. neighed a fraction
more than j:i, according to t.ippc. but no official Heights ucrr
announced and the hoys did no bor at the fcathcrucight limit
This is to settle alt arguments which mil arise oicr the outcome vt
the bout.
Army Instruction Has Impaired Kilbaue s Work
"ILBAXE did not look like the Kllbane of old. Ho was slow, his Judg
ement of distanco was bad and the
Ho would feint his opiwnent into knots, but never took advantage of it.
Two jears ago he could have stopped Brown in three or four rounds, but
there's a big difference in his work now.
Johnny has been ldlo for elghteenimonUi and naturallv. ihould be a
trifle rusty. Perhaps after ho has fought si few times ha will regain &ome
of his old-time prowess, but tho wlso ones fear he is about done as' a. top
notcher. Last night ho couldn't get started Ho teemed btlff as a. board,
his left Jab lost ts sting and his right hand was virtually helpless. Instead
of carrying the flght as he used to he waited for tho other fellow to lead,
and that got him into trouble
It's a funny thing, but the majority of army boxing Instructors aro
finding it hard to make good In the professional game. They hao been
training the men for such a long time and pulling their punches against tho
novices that they naturally fall Into tho same Habits in real battles. That
Is the falling of Jeff Smith Tred Dyer, Tom Gibbons and Kllbane. Tho old
teaching stuff has slowed them up and it will take ;t long tlmo to over
come It.
At that, Kllbane had a difficult Job on his hands after the third round
"When Brown scored the knockdown he seemed contented with the lead ho
had obtained and clinched at every opportunltv. The crowd thought it vat,
Kllbane, but that game little fighter was trying his best to break away.
- In the first and second rounds it was ca.Uy sen that Johnny had not
yet come back to his o'd form. Brown, however, was nervous and did not
force the fighting as he should.
TB a good thing Kllbane did not meet a real high-ctass boxer
, last night Brown was tough enough, but men like Tcndlcr or
Chancy would hate had easy pickings. However, Johnny cannot be
called doun and out Zet. He still has some fights left in him. ami as
soon as he meets a few more rugged opponents should legain
enough of his old skill to step with the best of them.
That "Tai'Sccond Whistle'' Disastrous for Swartz
THC foolish whistle which toots ten seconds before the ond of each round
at the Olympia almost caused ;t serious accident last night Xo ono
knows why the whistle i3 blown, for it cuts short every round ten seconds
and the strange boxers invariably start for their corners. It is the only
club In tho country whero it is used and it's about time for the practice to
be done away with.
In the third preliminary a young man named Lou Swartz was putting
Up a great flght against Youna Mcradden, of Allentown He had dropped
Fadden in the first and everything
conn round drew to a close. The boys
UmC whistle blew Swartz dropped his
eeVrier.j
Wql Vthlle he was defenseless McFaddcn started ono from the floor and

up and carried to his corner and could not respond for the bell ono minute
later It Is strango ho was not seriously hurt, for tho blow was an unex
pected one and the result of that utterly useless and foolish whistle.
THE fans do not like it and Harry Edwards should br nuc
enough to cut it out. Fomc night there iHII br a serious accident.
Harry Brown Comes Back and Beats Itccsc
HAUrtY (KID) BROWX performed well in the semlwlnd-up and won from
Freddy Iteese, of Xevv York, in six furious rounds. For the first tlmo
In, months Harry did not have boils on his neck and his work hhowed a
big5 Improvement
Ho traded wallops with his opponent and several times had him on thn
verge of a knockout. This was Heese's first appearance since his knockout
at the hands of Irving Mongoles at Newark two months ago.
Jesse James galloped into the ring without his trusty guns or his
.mask, but It must be stated he didn't need them. The namesake of the
famous bandit held up Leo Flynn. of Kensington, and robbed him of a.
decision in the second preliminary. Jesse started out like a real tough guy
and, had FIjnn buffaloed after the first round. A swift stinging left Jab
w'as kept continually In Flynn's face and a few right hooks made him wish
the armistice had been signed beforr the trouble started. Jesse Is a real
boxer and made a big hit.

It Is believed that he ls really through
with the spiked shoes.
The former Cornell athlete camo to
the conclusion that he should quit the
game after tho national A. A. U. gameB
In Brooklyn Saturday night and he con

Tin through," he said to Itobertson.
"I'm going back to my farm and forget
running, t thought 'I could g"et In shape
this season, but now I'm convinced that
t can't. I feel that I could never get
back in good shapo and I believe Its
best to quit now." ,
Won Millroe600
After winning the Mlllrose 600 It was
believed that Caldwell would give the
remainder of the field n. terrific battle
for tho crcwn In the national champion
ships. Ho finished fourth, next to Mar
vln Gustafson, ot Fenn, for the second
time in his career. Have was second to
Gus In the national 600 last year.
Tourth In a national title race does
not sound so bad for a eteran, but Jack
Sellars. the winner, did only 1:15 3-5 for
the distance. The record is 1 : 3-5. held
by Ing Tom Halpln. The race proved
to Caldwell that he could do no better
than fourth In a slow raco and Probfb y
wculd be lost in a fast one. A hen ho
won the MUlrcsc eient'he ran 1 10 3-B.
Caldwell was one of tho real great
runners of the last decade and alwavs
has been on. of Ted Meredith s most
dangerous rivals. But the luro of the
game has no appeal when success Is , not
at hand, It's back to the farm for David.
Held College Record
Caldwell war. at the h'ht ' ,"-d
career back In 1014 when he de katcd
Ted Meredith and George Brown, of
Yale, in the Intercollegiate half mile at
Cambridge. Brown gave the t-orneU
man a great race and chasecUilm to a
new Intercollegiate record of 1.53 1-5
Meredith previously had won the quarter
mile and could ao no newer man "";
That record stood on the books untl
1316 when Meredith was pushed by Bill
Bingham, of Harvard, to new figure-?.
Ted thaved one-fifth of a s.econd off the
Caldwell mark, after he had created a
new world's record of 47 2-6 seconds In
the quarter mile. Bom or me intercol
legiate marks were made on tho same
track In Cambridge.
Caldwell always has been noted for
his famous sprint on. the stretch, and
he gave an exhibition of his drive when
ho beat out Tom Campbell and Mere
dlth In the Mlllrose, games recently
When the Cornell runner entered the
stretch he was five yards behind Camp
bell, but. he made up the distance and
won by" it least a yard
Hereafter Dave Caldwell, famous both
at Cornell and the Boston A, A., will do
hla running behind plows.
