KILBANE READY
TO FIGHT CHANEY
Championships Will Come
With Results of Today's
Ring Rattles
By Associated Press
j Cedar Point. Ohio. Sept. 4. —Despite
assurances from both contestants in
to-day s tjattle for the world's feather
weight championship. Johnny Kilbane,
1 title holder, and George Chaney, chal
lenger. that they have easily reached
j the 122 pounds required, a suspicion
existed in each camp before the men
entered the ring that the other fellow
had fcund difficulty in making it. The
feeling seems strong in the ranks of
the Chaney supporters, whose con
fidence grew as the hour for the con
test approached.
The Cleveland boxer, through his
manager. Jimmy Durfn, declared, how
e\ er. that he weighed 121 pounds be
fore leaving Cleveland yesterday anJ
that he was in excellent shape for the
bout.
Experts expect the mill to be a con
test between the rugged, slam-bang
style exemplified by the Baltimore man
and the clever defensive battle for
which Kilbane is famouf. Chaney
comes with a reputation as being a
dispenser of knockout blows, but Kil
! bane is expected by his friends from
Cleveland to outbox his rival through
out the fifteen rounds and perhaps
( score a knockout himself.
Odds before the first preliminary
went on at 2 o'clock were practically
2 to ! with Kilbane the favorite and
very little Chaney money in sight.

Colorado Springs. Colo.. Sept. 4. —
With this city crowded with fight fans
and incoming trains and automobiles
bringing scores of others, everything
was in readiness to-day for the ring
contest between Champion Freddie
Welsh and Challenger Charlie White,
which is to decide the lightweight
championship of the world. Follow
ers of the fighting game to-day admit
-1 tedly were at sea in hazarding a choice
• between the two men. In the respec
i tive camps, the principals were said
to be in fine condition and confident.
Betting, following announcement by
: District Attorney M. W. Purcell that
! bookmaking would be barred, was of
such a nature that the favorite could
not be determined. Considerable
money, it was understood, is being
placed privately.
The men are expected to enter the
ring between 2:30 and 3 o'clock this
afternoon. Final arrangements for
j preliminaries and motion pictures are
to be made this morning. The ring
side seats this afternoon are expected
to be occupied by many persons of
prominence, including women f;om
eastern and western cities who have
been spending the summer here and
at nearby resorts.

OU2J < MORRIS.
Carl Morris, the original "white
hope." is about to attempt a "come
back." which he hopes will put him in
line for a meeting with Champion Jess
Willard. Morris was to-day scheduled
to fight Frank Moran, the Pittsburgh
heavyweight, at Tulsa. Okla.
Morris was a promising fighter at
the beginning of his career, but met re
verses which put him out ot the run
ning for several years. Now he has
regained some of his old-time form,
and is regarded as a formidable man
in the ring. Moran is training more
faithfully for the bout with Morris than
he did for his bout with Jack Dillon.
Morris is six feet six inches n.

I Baseball Betting Is Legal
Says New Orleans Judge
Special la the Telegrafh
New Orleans. Sept. 4. Judge V. J. j
Stentz of the city court, in a decision j
on file Saturday, holds that moderate I
betting on baseball games does not
constitute gambling.
The defendant in the case bet a SSO
check against the plaintiff's cash that
the Green Turtles, a semlprofessional
team, would defeat the Greco Sweets.
The Turtles lost, and the defendant
stopped payment of the check, where
upon the plaintiff sued.
In deciding the plaintiff was entitled
to recover the SSO. and overruling the
defendant's plea that it was gambling
and illegal, the court said:
"Baseball Is not In any sense a
i gambling game. It is primarily a
game of science, physical skill and I
trained endurance. The court be- j
lieves baseball a moael form of
physical development and exercise
which tends to promote skill In the
use of the arms, and a bet thereon,
If not excessive, Is recoverable."
