KILRAIN'S SON

BALTIMORE, June 9.-After having

Kilrain, son of Jake Kilrain, lost the
fight last night to Kid Gibson in he
third round on q foul The result was
Disappointing to the 1900 spectators. as
Kilrain proved early in the battle that
he was Gibson's master. The unfor-
tunate foul came near the close Of the
third round. Kilrain shot a right up
percut for the body and the blow went
low, catching Gibson in the groin and
doubling Lin up like a jackknife. Up
to the time of the abrupt ending of he
contest Kilrain had all the better of
the contest.
Johnny Groome, of Philadelphia, and
Kid Dorbett, the undefeated leather
weight of the East, fought rounds to a
draw, although the decision should have
gone to Dorbett. He was by far the

agreed that If both were on their feet

test be declared a draw.

Feather Champion Agrees to
Fight in New York in
Two Weeks.

NEW YORK, June 9.-Abe Attell,
the greatest little fighter of his inches
the ring has ever known, landed here
yesterday afternoon after a very sue
cessful campaign on the coast.
Abe came East to see what was
hanging around in the feather class,
and will stay all summer unless Owen
Moran comes through and accepts the
offer of one of the Frisco clubs of $780,
900 for a 20-round bout between the
two with a privilege of so per cen
Abe has given his final answer to
Moran and the promoters, and it must
be 122 at 6 o'clock the night of the
contest. Attell was a guest of the
Grand Athletic Union last night, and
already he has agreed to meet Matty
Baldwin there within two weeks if
satisfactory arrangements a be
made. Baldwin and Abe were intro
duced together last night, and If Bald
win agrees to 124 pounds some time
during the day of the fight the match
will be clinched for June %.
In speaking of his recent tour of the
coast Abe said. yes, I made more
money in the last year out there than
I have ever made before. I won from
Eddie Kelly twice, beat frankie Neil

Owen Moran, but in that fight I was
not in the best of shape, as any of my
friends who saw the fight will tell you.
1T will be different, though, if we
meet again, n Moran will never go
twenty rounds; n take that for a
tip. Nelson was a lucky fellow when
we met in Frisco that he went the
limit with me. I am not making ex-
cuses, but, on the level, I put my right
hand On the blink in the early, part
of the fight, and at that 1 had him
going several times during the bout.
Nelson is still a tough man, but I
think Cans will finish him long before
they go forty-five rounds. I will be
here all summer and will meet any of
the good one they have here, but they
must make something around 124
pounds. and that goes for Griffin or
any of them. This Australian claims
to be a featherweight, so let him make
some kind of weight.
Baldwin and I will likely show here
on June %, and then they can come as
fast as they want. 1 think that 122
pounds at 6 o'clock is fair for Moran.
If l met Cans or Mcfarland I would
have all to gain and nothing to lose,
but with Moran the title would go, and
I want him to make the weight"
Abe was given a great reception last
night at the Grand Athletic Union, and

STANLEY KETCHEL MAY

BURNS'S SCALP NOW.
KETCHEL MAY GO
AFTER B~URNS'SSCALP NOW

Ketchel 10 go n dig up a rep.
Ketchels rep Is far better in the night
ing game thar Burns's. Ketchel is the
real Simon-pure middle-weight cham-
pion, and if he wants Burns, why that
is his business. Burns will not have
to come to Ketchels weight, and Ket-
chel will not have to take on weight
unless he wants to.
The open question to be settled will
be whether or not Ketchel can do
What his predecessor, Bob Freckled
Fitzsimmons did, win two titles, the
heavy and middle weight divisions. Il
he does this he need not worry, and
right now, from past performances,
Ketchel is to my mind a formidable
foe for Mister Tommy Burns. The
latter cart go much longer around the
country shooing off all contenders and
he can't go a week trying to make Mis-
ter Ketche seek other victims.
AS soon as Ketchel makes a decla-
ration thai he wants to fight Burns
for the heavyweight honors of the
world Mister Burns will have to come
off his high horse and meet the Stan
ley boy. There is nothing else to It.
There are no midd1eweights today
outside of Ketchel and Papke. And, by
the way, the latter is not entirely out
side the possibilities of being a cham
pion. True, Ketchel got the decision,
but Papke still has the knowledge that
Kitchel did not knock him out. Win
ming titles on points is not the best
route to take to championship. Ii
Burns is afraid of Ketchel he can say
to him, Meet Papke again in a longer
seance; knock him out, and then come
to me and I will talk shop to you"
OF course there are middleweights
coming. This fellow Gardener, of
whom I spoke, and who is under Aus
tralian Ryan's wing, is sneaking along
nicely learning the game and all of
the ms and outs of the punch and get
away affair. He is laying low, as the
sports express it, and simply abiding
his time for an opportunity. When he
has gained sufficient knowledge to en-
able him to face the Ketchels and the
Papkes, and he stays long enough with
them to show that he has class, maybe
he will get out and make some. noise.
He looks classy, does this Gardener
boy, and he is taking the best of carr
of himself. He has something in mind,
but like the wise man he is keeping his
lips sealed.
When Ketchel and Burns meet the
public will see a real battle, and II
Burns wins he can go through the
country claiming everything in sight.
Let us wait for the first roar of such q
battle to be sounded.
