Johnny Kilbane, conqueror of Abe | Attell, and thereby winner of the featherweight boxing championship, feels prouder of this eulogy of his father, quoted above, than he does of his newly won Queensbury hon- orn, Kilbane senior is proud of his boy id he has always been proud of Ever since he was 14, at which ageage he had to leave St, Malachi's parochial school, Johnny has helped to support the family, first as an employe in a stove pipe factory, later as a switchman and finally as @ boxer. Now that he is a champion and can claim a champion’s privileges, the declining days of the “folks at home” will be made rosy in af fluence, for Johnny's first thought has always been for his “folks.” A “different sort of a champion” is Johnny Kilbane. Descended from unmixed Irish stock, he is a home: loving broth of a boy, who thinks more of family than of boon com- cham: onnell, blind father, atep-mother and two it that the family has liv The champion was born "néax the ie 23 and married and tho Maltie “daddy Her name, Mar tta, Mrs. Kilbane, wife of They were married two y' ree panions, His earnings have supported his sisters ever since he took to boxing, and I have his father’s wordgfor ir than before Johnay took t eT ge for a livelihood, - site of his present home, 413 Qest Herman av., on the West Site, Fue light tn his Irish blue eyomgattents when a wee bit colleen calls Aim carries a breath of the hills of Clare to the sons of the ould sod, pion, was petite Irene girlish sweetheart of sc! ‘There fun't a man in Cleveland who knows Johnny Kilbage but ts proud of him.

The Kilbane home shows the com- | forts Johnn's success have brought. |The proudest man in ae country | Feb. 22 was the blind father of the boy battling in Vernon for the | world's champtonship, As the returns of the battle were read to him and it became apparent |that Johnny was winning, he said, time and again, “The best son in the world.” “Johnny has always been kind, generous and considerate,” his fath- er told me. “Since he became a boxer we have lived better than ever, but he always helped us, even when only 14, he had to work when he ought to have been in school, He never gave me a moment's worry.” Johnny's mother died when he was a baby, and he was reared b his grandmother, who died the day before he fought the Mexican, Jose Rivers, News of her death was withheld by Manager Dunn, who realized the news would unfit Johnny for the battle. When he was told Kilbane cried like a child, An idea of the boy's o is gained by the reports of fight with Attell, the chroniclers all de- tailing how he hurried his handlers after the fight, to let him dress and join his wife and Marie Coletta, waiting at the home of a friend, for the end of the battle which nieant, © much to them and to “the folks” here in Cleveland, Get the Original and Genuine HORLIGK’S MALTED MILK The Feed-drink for All Ages.
