KLBANE ‘Featherweight Ghampion Has Best of Eight in Ten Round Bout \ 1 New York, May 2.—Johnny Kil- bane, the fcatherwe¢ight champlon, de- i feated Freddie’ Welsh, lightweight jchampion, at the Manhattan 4 C. |last night. Kiibane won so decisive- !ly that Welsh looked like a novice, flounderiig and clinching ' blindly throughout the ten rounds. Kilbane showed that he could do anything he pleased during the fight. To a man at the ringeside it looked as though Kilbane could have knocked out Welsh any time after the second round. In the sccond round it seemed certain that Kiibane had won the Jightweight title. He caught Welsh a_terrific right to the jaw and the Englishman stag- gered- Kilbane flew at him . with rights and lefts on the jaw, and the Englishman was bewildered. The lightweight -champion clinched and held on. After that Kilbane simply made a monkey of Welsh. He danced about at long range and.pelted Welsh with right and left. H Kilbane Coufident. It was not a stage laugh that Kil- | bane wore either. . It was a good, | wholesome, genuine laugh that spoke confidence. He had Welsh beaten to [n standstill, despite the advantage of ininé pounds. Why he did not com- lete the job is one of those mysteries f fight manipulation that may be ex- : plained later- i Certainly Kilbane had that lght- | welght title within his grasp last night, i but he seemed to throw it back into { the battered face of Welsh, laughing as he did it. 1t was a fast fight, the best fight | that Kilbane ever showed in this city. It might ‘have been faster it Kilbane had so willed it. for it was Kilbane that set the pace. Welsh ' hardly landed four blows during the entire engagement. He ¢linched and held. Nearly every moveé .of Welsh was a defénsive one, He was beaten, shamed and humiliated. NICKALLS GOING HOME. Yale Rowing Coach Plans to Sail for England This Week. s | | Movie of a Man Waiting ofi— Himself f WAR CONTINUES \ CoFFEe AND B = New York, May 2.—McGraw, man- ager of the New York Giants, recent- i ly declared that he has two players who, because of their modesty, sel- i dom get in the limelight, but that he considers them real bascball lumin- aries. They are Art Fletcher and George Burns. McGraw says that Fletcher is the best hitting shortstop in the game' today and that he wouldn’t trade him for any other shortstop in baseball. 'During the last six years that he has played with | ! twenty-one legal trips to the the Giants only the great Hans Wag- ' ner has eclipsed him with the stick. The lowest mark the long shinned Giant ever touched was .254, in 1915. In 1911 Fletcher hit .319 and usually averages around -290. Last year, for New Haven, May 2.—Guy Nickalls, | instance, Fletcher hit .286. The oth- | Yale’s rowing coach, has given up = | hope of Reeping up any interest in | rowing-at Yale during the war and is returning to England. Practically all the undergraduates Il.l'a now in military training and the boathouse has been turned over to the navy department for use as a base station. Nickalls will satl for Eng- §land this week, - : ers: Bancroft, .212; Bush, .225; Ma- ranville, .235; Lavan, .236; Chapman, .231; Scott, .282; Terry, -190; Wort- man, .201; Witt, .245; Peckinpaugh, .2656. McGraw says George Burns is one of the greatest outflelders in the National league. Burns had a won- derful week with' the stick recently and not only tops the other members of the Giants on the offensive, but lesds the Yankees and Robins as well i DepPosiTs SAME on ARMm oOF GETS UP To O0BTAIN A NAPKIN Dec\Des BY BRIGGS L3 HAvE Pig, RETURN S WITH 2 EATS - BUT WiSHES HE HAD MUSTARD, PEPPER AKD SALT, SPooN, WATER BTC. with a percentage of .442, a gain of 103 points over the preceding week: Facing the Boston and Philadelphia pitchers—such. stars ~ as Alexander, Rudolph and Nehf—Burns made plate and gathered in an even dozen hits for an average of .571. He capped the climax when he hammered the great Alexander for a quartet of solid blows, including a double and a triple. With Wally Pipp of the Yankees Burns was tied in the number of runs scored. Each has crossed the plate nine times, ‘WILL OONTINUE BASEBALL. Philadelphia, May 2.—The Univer- sity of Pennsylvania announced yes- terday that it had abandoned all sports with the exception of Baseball. This decision puts the Red and Blue insti- tution in line with the action pre- viously taken by Cornell, Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia and Syra- cuse. Wharton Sinkler, chairman of the Pennsylvania football committee, has enlisted and his place has been taken by Jack Minds. B Pair to Draw to, Says /1’Graw of Arthur Fleicher and George Burns FAYOR SLATER BILL Judiciary Committee of Albany Bring in Favorable Report for Bill Which Would End New York State Boxing. Albany, May 2.—The senate ju- diciary committee voted yesterday to report favorably the Slatér bill de- signed to repeal the Frawley law reg- ulating public boxing contests. The vote was 7 to 3- d ‘When the committee’s report wi presented the advancement of the bill to the order of final 'passage was blocked by the qbjections of several senators, and following the usual course it was referred to the commit- tee of the whole. Under ordinary circumstances such procedure during the final weeks of the legislature means the death of a bill, but an attempt will be made to advance the Slater bill under a special rule to be adopted later. There is little likelihood of its passage. D POUNDED BY CUBS Windy City Outlit Pile Up Seven 'les in One Inning 8t.
