EATED IN DUNDEE'S AMBITION T0 FIGHT HILBANE Latter’s Request for New York License Is Cheering News That Johnny Kilbane had applied for a boxing license in New York state was one of the interesting items in recent sporting pages. Interesting for more reason than one and to Johnny Dundee, who holds the featherweight championship by virtue of having it given to him when Kil- bane declined to fight him, it is doubly interesting. Johnny’s Ambition. Johnny Dundee still has at least one pugilistic ambition left and it is not to lick Kid Kaplan of Meriden. It is to meet Johnny Kilbane for the featherweight ehampionship. Dundee thinks Kilbane is not exactly giving him a square deal by refusing him a match. “I fought Kilbane 10 years ago out in California to a draw,” Dundee said. ‘At that time, and later, even a year ago when I saw him in Cleveland, he promised he would give me a crack at the crown. But he hasn't.” Regards Kilbane Highly. Dundee does not go about tellings people he would knock Kilbane into a cocked hat if they ever got into a ring. Far from it. “Johnny's pretty good still, (Continued on Thirteenth Page.) don't| How They Line up || in Four Leagues | NATIONAL LEAGUE. | Yesterday's Results, New York 4, Boston 3. game).

He is going to fight his way | to another chance at Dempsey. Inc dentally he will make the going such harder for Dempsey than he did at Toledo.” MeCarney has the distinction of Yaving picked Johnson to defeat Jef-, fries, Willard to defeat Johnson, Dempsey to beat Willard and Firpo | to knock out Bill Brennan, as well| as cor=ectly forecasting many other| big battles. The only blemish on McCarney's| record as a ring dopester is the| boost he gave “Tut” Jackson | prior to his fight with Harry Wills. While he didn't pick Jackson to win, he said a lot of nice things about “Tut,” who proved the champion “flivver” of ail times, In New York Tomorrow. New York, April 20,.—Jess Willard, who will meet Floyd Johnson in one of the two featured fifteen-round bouts for the henefit of the Milk Fund at the Yankee Stadium on May 12, will arrive here tomorrow from Ex- celsior Springs, Mo. Tex Rickard, who is promoting the affair, received a telegram from Ray Archer, Wil- { kers to finish his training H SPARRING PARTNER: lard's business representative, stating that the forraer heavyweight cham- pion would arrive on the Twentieth Century Limited from Chicago and that he wonid go immediately to Yon- for the bout, Jack Skelly, the old-time feather- weight, invited Jess to use the spa- cious gymnasium of the Columbus Sporting club in Yonkers, and Willard accepted, because it will afford him a chance to do a great deal of work in the open country near by. Willard is reported to be in excellent condi- tion. Tt is said that the big fellow is many pounds lighter than when he lost the championship to Jack Demp- sey at Toledo in 1919, His condition has Peen the cause of great satisfac- tion in his training camp. Jack McAuliffe 2d is expected to ar- rive today from Detroit. He s sched- uled to box Luis Angel Firpo fifteen rounds on the same program with Willard and Johnson. MecAuliffe has leen working in Detroit and is said to be in fine shape. He will conclude his preparation for the bout in the adison Square Garden gymnasium. T'irpo is planning to leave for Jimmy Tetorest’s open-air gymnasium Allenhurst, N. J., before the end of the week. He will conclude his train- ing there. Delorest has been in charge of the South American's preparation and his work has been entirely satisfactory to date.

The Red and Golders are out to start the season off with a win, For the past three weeks the boys have been up to Walnut Hill practic- ing daily.

While the no-hit game is the more difficult feat, it carries no greater thrill, You must be decidedly lucky turn either trick. Recently while to going over the Miami (Fla.) Country club course with Jock HutchinBon, one of the players in a foursome came within a few inches of holing out in one, When we reached the green and discovered the ball almost on the edge of the cup, I remarked to Hutchison that aside from perfect execution, it seemed to me that the player also needed more than his share of luck to hole out in one. “You must be lucky,’” replied Hutchison, “but you must be lucky in anything to meet with great success. On all short holes a player is usu- ally swinging for the pin. Usually he is content with a good position on | the green. To have the ball roll into the cup is almost asking too much, but it happens quite often. “Did you ever hole out in one?” I'| asked Jock. “Yes, I have been lucky enough to turn the trick twice,”” he replied, “and the funny thing about it is that both times I holed out in one was (Continued on Thirteenth Page.)

Cleveland, April 20—It is not often that Tris Speaker, star outfielder of the Cleveland Indians and one of the brainiest players in the game pulls a “boner” but the players got one on him in the tenth inning of yesterday's game between the Indians and the White Sox. Speaker wasg on first and Wamby on third when Guisto grounded to Johnson, The Sox shortstop bluffed a throw to the plate and then tossed to Eddie Collins who threw home to head off Wamby.

Before his team mates could make him under- stand, Schalk whipped the ball back to Collins for the out. : It probably cost the Indians the game which would have ended, as Summa followed with a long single to right.
