Kilran fight, Americas famous outdoor
mill in the woods near Richburg Miss.
1T was the last big match under London
prize ring rules, the type which requires
a round to continue until a man goes to
the ground, either by blow or by wrest-
ling. That was a historical match. The
Washington man has overlooked just
couple of Incidents. He speaks of the
fierce glare of the MONDAY sun which
burned the bare bodies of the fighters,
but he doesn't say that kilrain had by
far the worst corner in this respect
Old Sol's scowls burned deep into Jakes

Sully hurried to New ORLEANS and tore

Sullivan hit Kilrain squarely on the

the skin split as If cut by a knife. Fol-
lowing the fight, special train made the

The two preliminaries bid fair to be

ambitious chaps and each wants to get

Wednesday to keep in condition, Here is
what the Plain Dealer says about the
boxers:
Kohcr, who has been coming to the
front by rapid strides, will boom his
stock considerably IL he is able to get the
better Of the argument with Frazier.
The two boys met several weeks ago and
put up a. great bout. Frazier, because of
his greater experience, ruled as a favor-
ite, but Eohler made a very favorable
by his work and had a de-
cison been given. it would probably have
gone to the C1oyelander
Supporters of Frazier blamed the fall
ure of their protcge To win decisively on
his condition, claiming that he regarded
l\ohler as easy and did little or no work
for the bout lie has been in constant
training for the coming go and feels cer-
tain that he will demonstrate his super
iority over the West Side lad.

out to 0. In the afternoon both teams
returned to Franklin for another game.

us, a line ball hit me in the forehead

MUST HATE JACK
SOMETHING AWFUL

Columbus, Dec. 10. - Few of those who
watched Jim Jeffries do his STUNT at Me-
mortal hall knew how near there came to
being no show.
When Jeffries entered the hall the first
thing he saw was a huge lithograph of
Jack Johnson, advertising the moving
pictures which comes to the Chamber of
Commerce auditorium next week.
The big fellow was mad through and
through. Not only did he refuse to go
on the stage himself, but he declared
that not a member of his show would go
on until the picture was removed.
Jeffries seems to have a way of getting
what he wants.
AT least the picture was removed.

Judge McReynolds Lays Down Law
for Chattanooga,

Chattanooga, Tenn, May R.-The
May term of Criminal Court was con-
vened here this morning and from the
charge delivered to the grand jury it is
evident that Judge S. D, McReynolds
will have no mercy on violators of the
prohibition law when it becomes effec-
tive July 1. Judge McReynolds said
that inasmuch as there was a probable
ity that the grand jury would be called
back the latter part of July, early viola
tions of the liquour laws would come
under the jurisdiction of this body. He
said:
Whatever your previous convictions
on the liquor question, gentlemen, the
law is now on the statute books and
must be enforced. The court wishes it
distinctly understood that bootlegging
or any violation of the prohibition law
will not be winked at, and this court
will do its utmost to have the law en-
forced.
1t is reported now," continued the
judge, that arrangements have already
been made and plans laid for system
attic evasion of the law in Chattanooga,
such as building attics and other ways
in which liquor can be sold without de-
lection.
wish to say that any man convict
ed of selling liquor, in this court, after
the prohibition laws GO into effect, will
certainly go to the workhouse. / want
