A Case of Suicide No, they didn't kill the fight game With a single little law; It was not the Legislature ! Sent the wallop to its Jaw. Hut the fighters and promoters In the hunger for the pelf Made the good old game so rotten I . That it went and killed itself. HARL&If HARRY. The Last of the lighters ! Looking over the champions of the contemporaneous Queensberry ring and motley array of titleholders and near tltleholders there seems to be I just one real fighter left—-little Johnny Kilbahe, the featherweight cham- I pion. Johnny has gone out of his class twice to annoy the titleholders in : other divisions. Once he made the weight to box Kid Williams, when the latter held the bantamweight title, and later he gave Freddie Welsh, ostens ibly the lightweight champion, a sound beating. In this latter venture Kil bane emulated Terry McGovern, who went out of his class to fight Joe Gans I and beat the great colored boxer. Morally—if the matter of morality can be considered in prizefighting— Johnny Kllbane should hold three titles. He beat Williams decisively for the bantamweight championship and he beat Freddie Welsh to a frazzle : for the lightweight championship. The only reason why he does not hold I three titles legally is that no decisions 'were permitted when he fought the other two titleholders. I In beating Welsh, Kilbane did more than conquer the man who holds the lightweight title. Welsh weighed 140 pounds or over that night. So I Kilbane really beat a welterweight at the same time. If the featherweight I champion would always fight at his best, as he did when he fought Welsh, he would have many more friends in the East. But, great tighter though he is, Kilbane often refuses to extend himself. And when he eleots to | stall and to fake he is just as bad as any of the contemporaneous near fighters. The fight game will be given a tremendous boost when all of the title holders and claimants to pugilistic titles march in a body to the recruiting ! office to enlist. Yes, when they do that little thing. ' Old-Time Lightweights Missing Speaking of the lightweight division, what has become of the old-fash ioned American lightweight who used to make 133 •pounds ringside? Gans. Wolgast, Nelson and Young Corbett used to do it, and they did i more fighting in one round than the present lightweight champion has 1 done in his entire career. The matter of poundage seems to be nothing among lightweights these days. Night after night one hears the announcer declare: "This is for the lightweight championship, Young Hoosis weigh ing 139 pounds and Battling Mcßluff 142 pounds." It is a sorrowful commentary on the class that once had all of the real fighters when it is recalled that Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion, aid not win the title at the real American weight, 133 pounds ringside, and that he has never been able to defend it at that weight. As a matter of fact, the lightweight champion, the man who wears the mantle of Mc -1 Govern, Gans. Nelson and Wolgast, has been a welterweight all alqng and 1 ai rather indifferent welterweight at that. * Some one who claims to know gives us the following statistics on the contributions of the various sports to the army and navy: Football players, 21,142.

The status of professional boxing in New York State after November 15 is causing promoters of bouts and owners of boxing clubs considerable worry these days. When oGvernor Whit ma nsigned the Slater will at Albany recently it marked the beginning of the end of the Frawley law which, since July, 1911, permitted the hold ing of ten-round glove contests in the State of New York in legally licensed clubs. " The Slater bill, which will wipe the Frawley law off the State stat utes next November is expected to leave the legal issue as to the holding of glove lights in New York State just where it stood prior to the pas sage of the llorton law, twenty-one years ago. Prior to 1896 fighting and sparring were violaions of the penal law in the State of New and boxing exhibitions with or with out gloves at which an admission fee was charged or recei% - ed, either di rectly or indirectly, were forbidden. llorton I juv In 1896 the statute prohibiting sparring was amended, and allowed athletic clubs to hold boxing and sparring matches provided the club owned the building or had a lease for at least one year upon the build ing. This was known as the Horton law. On September 1, 1900, the Hor ton law was repealed, and boxing and sparring were forbidden in the State of New York tip to July, 1911, when the Frawley law provided that the provisions of the penal code should not apply to any sparring match or exhibition conducted by a club licensed by the State Athletic commission. During the four years in which the Horton law was in effect many notable ring battles were fought in the Empire State and several cham pionships in different classes changed hands. From 1900 to 1911 no con tests of promience were decided in New York but many bouts were held under the "Club membership" plan by which the promoters claimed im munity from any Infraction of the law on the ground that no admission fee was charged. Clubs Show Activity The repeal of the Frawley meas ure by the Slater bill, which will go into effect next November, lias been anticipated by many club owners and promoters throughout New York State. Several of them are engaged in polishing up their charters, which have lain on dusty shelves for nearly six years and arc registering new lists of members, with the idea of re ceiving the membership plan. Taking into consideration that al most a ful year will have elapsed before the Slater bill becomes oper ative and that many important ring conetsts are to be decided here in the meantime it is fairly safe o pre dict that the sixth and final year's boxing under the Frawley regime will be productive of a tax which will bring the total amount of income to the State from this source up to one third of a million dollars.

His bingles brought the runs that were big factors In the down fall of Mike O'Neill. Miller was also in his old-time hitting form and a big help. Keefe Slionx In 11 * The other feilbw was Young Keefe. He is a Connie Mack protege and it was just warm enough to put him into form for good work. He hand ed up puzzlers in every inning.

The RreenMt of cub reporters might re mind James J. Jeffries that he was once champion heavyweight boxer of the world. But it is doubtful if such a reminder would enhance a visitor's popularity around the Jeffries ranch. Jeff wants to forget that he ever Was a ring star. Because Jim Jeffries was champion tighter of the world is the only rea son, however, that the general public will be interested in details of his liv ing methods and daily activities. Re ference to boxing has nothing in com mon with Jeff's interests in his big silos, nor his playful hour with a bunch of Holstein calves. "How often do you go to town, Jim'.'" was a question asked of the Hurbank farmer, whose 105 acres lie close to the long mountain range which hedges the San Fernando Val ley. ou£ from Los Angeles. "Not any more than I have to," was the reply. "I hope I'm through with city life, and unless I have some busi ness there, I stick close to the ranch." There is a phase of the Jeffries composition .Which will surprise those who know of him only as a profes sional pugilist. Jeffries Is well read on many subjects, almost overbearing in the strength of his convictions and petulant of interruption when launched on his interpretation of "business before the house." The artistic stamp is strong in the Jeffries nature, as may be gleaned from the beautiful residence which he has just completed, the plans for which he prepared personally. The result of his architectural insight is one of the finest homes in Southern California, one which cost over $20,- 000. Wood Construction must be good con struction.
