Kilrain looks bad, but he is as far

far as the injuries received in the battle
bruised, both eyes blackened, lips cut,
but not severely, and his jaw giving
evidence of some of the taps thereon
from the brawny fist of the pride of
Beanville. Kilrain walks without as
Sistance, but is far from frisky, and es-
pecially was this noticeable III his
alighting from and mounting the steps

man. and fears Gov. Lowry more than
he did John l.. He still looks to
Mitchell, and Obeys his orders like
child.
I'VE can't talk here. you know" said
Mitchell. Lets get off to the w1ndward OF
these curious blokes and get in our car, and
then Well be easier, you know"
To all of which Pony Moore nodded a
vigorous assent. and poor Jake Kilrain
followed meekly. Seated in the Gin
cinnati sleeper Mitchell opened with
the statement that the fight was lost be-
cause Jake wasn't in shape.
Il knew he was sick and asked him il he

"But l felt well enough to DO him"
growled the fallen idol of Oysterville.

Mitchell, can be quickly told. Jake had no
time TO get fit and the sun knocked him out.
The battle was fair and square, and we have
no complaint to make"
''But didn't Sullivan assist the sun in
knocking out kilrain?''
Some said Mitchell. Yes Sullivan did
get in some damaging punches in the third,
and l believe the seventh rounds.
But just look at my head, interjected
ciously 10 the belief that Old Sol, and not
John L., laid Kilrain low.
''But it's a bloody shame to talk about

This statement was made in dis
