Clever Boxer Not Popular In
Home Town: Sluggers Wanted
BY TIP Wright.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. %
when Kilbane left the ring his
hair hadn't been mussed."
That's what they said about
Johnny Kilbane after IL rounds
with Jack Kilbane, one of the
toughest featherweights.
The average fan doesn't like the
Kilbane type. He is too fast and
clever. He doesn't try for knock
outs, being content with decisions.
He has had 80 fights, losing one
to Abe Attell, with Lee Shea, the
Kansas City referee, on the job.
The newspapers declared it a
draw.
Kilbane is of new school, as
Jim Corbett was. He has chal-
lenged Attell for the crown. and
when the boss feather returns to
the game he is expected to accom-
modate.
Kilbane has met the best. He
drew three times with Jack White
of Chicago, got a decision in IL
rounds the last time out. He has
beaten Patsy Brannigan, Tom Kill
bane, Biz Mackey, Happy Davis,
Bobby Tickle, AL belmont and
others of less note.
Kilbane looks like the next
featherweight champion. He is
popular in Philadelphia and Bos-
/ ton, yet good as he is he can't get
dates in his home town. No one
seems to know why, but the
the chances are Clevelanders like
the knock-down and drag-out sort,
not boys who know what to do
with their hands when the chance
offers
In my opinion, Kilbane comes
nearer being the reincarnation of
the real Critic than any man in
the ring. His footwork, feinting,
blocking and punching is treat.
He tented Attell into leading and
beat him to the punch as he does
with every boy he meets.
Just keep an eye on this boy
and see how far he goes with that
championship thing.

HENRY RUSSELL MILLER-


Dear, loyal Irishtown! Many
harsh words have been spoken OF
it by the Steel City's silk-stocking
reformers. Always was it the
backbone of this or that political
machine; often was it the scene of
the vilest corruption. But Irish
town can be forgiven much for the
thing it dNd that night and for GER
tain majorities which 1t gave later.
OF the real issues of. the campaign
Irishtown knew little and cared
less. 1t was enough that the can
didate was 9TH grand fightin
man" who had lived in their midst
and battled his way to mastery
over the city.
The meeting was notable, first,
because Paul Remington made
the poorest speech of his career.
After Paul, Martin spoke. The
audience listened respectfully, but
with inward impatience; they had
not come to listen. to oratory,
however glowing. While Martin
was yet speaking, those near to
the windows ehard the painting of
dh Ilt tOIlllDB,
the whisper ran over the hall.
Necks craned in anticipation; a
few rose to their feet, gathering
their powers for shout. Several
men quietly entered the platform
from a side door. After them
came Bob McAdoo.
Bob had been cheered before,
and since then he has received
"ovations" from greater and more
select audiences. But neither be-
fore nor since has he been greet
ed with the spontaneous, thunder
GUS welcome which Irishtown gave
him that night. Four thousand,
and not a weak voice among
them, rose and shouted like mad,
shouted and shouted again until
for very physical inability they
were compelled to cease. Trough
it all the man to whom they were
shouting their loyalty stood, mo-
tionles and unsmiling, stirred to
the depths.
Martin interrupted in the midst
Iof a climax, waved his hand APP
provingly at the crowd and joined
in the cheers himself. AS the
shouting continued, he reached
across the table and grasped
Bob's hand.
by God! old man." he cried,
with an unwonted familiarity. "Pd
give twenty years of my life to be
greeted like that just once"
But Bob did not hear his words
or notice the handclasp.
When the tumult died down,
Martin took seat, leaving his
speech unfinished, and Bob began.
