women of this city last night had the
privilege OF seeing a boxing bout In
which Anthony J. Drexel Biddle. the
young millionaire and amateur sports
man. defeated Jack O'Brien, the pro-

ed fighting. The bout was held at
the Athletic club. Every seat was
taken. while the aisles and stairs were
crowded. There was no shock for the
fair spectators. as the. fighters, while
giving fast exhibition, aid nothing
that approached brutality4 There was a

knockdown in the fourth and ffth
rounds. but otherwise there was no
evidence OF undue roughness.

ED Killian, the veteran left-hander
OF the Detroit Tigers, left the city
Wednesday morning for Youngstown

setter" Reese regarding the condition
OF the twirler's left shoulder.
killian's arm troubled him all last
season and the shoulder is still sore.
On the advice of Trainer Tuthill an
engagement was made with the famous
expert in the hope that he may ne
able TO locate the seat OF the trouble
and assist In its treatment.
Killian himself has always been III
doubt whether his aiiment was rheu
matism or a muscular displacement Ia

There Is no denying that killians

sympathized with him when he was

hours at work on Killians shoulder
and all sorts OF schemes were en-
ployed without any permanent i'm
piovement being secured.
II Is at Tuthill's recommendation
that the trip 10 Youngstown has been

Killian has pitched for the Tigers
