uRSDAY AUGUST 18, 1925 TiN! A rTLE STAR PAGE 13 AKE KILRAIN, the veteran of the bare-knuckle days of the fight game, has writ- { ten a great series for Star fans which is one of the most interesting yarns ever fered Northw est sport followers. “In the Ring,” the story of old-time fighters, how they compare with present champions, the elevation of the game, the greatest of all cham- pions and other interesting angles on the sport will start on The Star's sport page on Saturday. Kilrain, one of the early battlers, who fought 75 rounds with John L. Sullivan when the Boston Strong Boy was the terror of the ring, is now living in a small town in Massachusetts. Altho in his sixties, and long | “In the Ring,” a Story of Fight Game by Jake Kilrain sfhee separated from the boxing game, Kilrain still takes an active interest in the ac- tivities of fighters. Kilrain and the fighters of the old schoobwere a far cry from the present-day mitt slingers. They defended their honors against ail comers, while Jack Dempsey, the pres- ent champion, has been dodgiig the issue for two years and is holding out for million- | dollar purses. | There will be six stories in all in the series and you will want to read every one of them.
