They reBacking Kilbane to DropAttel

but man who is beginning to hit
the slide after IL years ring
work. Attell knows every angle
of the game, from theoretical
standpoint, but can he execute
what he knows ought to be done?
Kilbane hackers say he can't.
No matter what the outcome OF
the battle, Attell will draw down
$4,000 for winning or losing,
while Kilbane will get $1,000 for
his end.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16. :
There are many fans in Los An
geles who wouldn't be surprised
If Johnny Kilbane should put Abe
Attell to sleep when they battle
20 rounds Feb. 22 for the worlds
featherweight championship. They
are backing Kilbane despite the
present odds of 10 to 8 in favor of
Attell and the almost certainty
Mat these odds will drop to 10
to 6 or perhaps 2 to /.
The Kilbane followers are figur-
ing partly on past performances
and partly on the showing Kilbane
has made in his recent fights as
compared with the lack of showing
by Attelf in his. Two years ago
Attell whipped Kilbane in a To-
round fight in Kansas City. But
Kilbane has improved 100 D per
cent since then. And to prove it
one has only to point to his SHOW
ing in two battles with doe 1Rtv-
ers, the tough little Mexican boy
who was touted for a time as a
champion. Rivers was supposed
to have a steel jaw and the ring
ability of Jim Corbett. iKilbdne
tackled him and they fought like
wildcats for 20 rounds to- az draw.
But that didn't satisfy Kilbahe.
He insisted upon a return, match
and got it. Then he knocked the
Mexican cold in 16 rounds, The
fight demonstrated that In adtii-
ton to wonderful cleverness, Kill
bane carries punch. RIO
Now at to Attell. Abe has nky-
er been careful liver. Edke. Joe
Cans, he is an inveterate gambler.
and he has dropped several for
tunes. The strain of gambling
gradually gets on man. 1t final
ly got Cans, coupled with the
heart-breaking time at Goldfield.
But it was gambling, the late
hours and the strain, day after
day, that first started him toward
consumption. In addition to this.
Attell's hands are weak. He has
broken them SO many tines in
fights that it doesn't take much

the club was not greatly feared
Let Walter Johnson step on the
rubber and the club became dan
gerous. Aside from the strength
added by Johnson's pitching his
very presence gave confidence. to
every member of the team.
The catcher plays SO big a part
that it Is almost foolhardy to hope
for much, with a mediocre catch
ing staff. The catcher must shoul-
der a great deal of work, he must
watch the bases, he must coach
his pitcher, he must figure what
the opposition expects to do and
any number of things. There is no
denying that a ball club well
equipped with battery men is
dangerous.

Will.

Should litigation which is now taking

more, will inherit a comfortable fortune.
When Mr.. McWhirter's uncle died
thirty-three years ago he left his en-
tire fortune amounting to about $4,000
to his wife. with the understanding that
upon her death both families would be
equal beneficiaries. The wife died in
testate and the entire estate was in
herited. automatically. by her branch Of
the family.
This. the Baltimore relatives believe,
was not the intention OF the man who ac-
cumulated the fortune. and on this
ground they are contesting for the es-
tate. There are about nine people who
Mr.. McWhirter feels are entitled to
share in the estate and should the courts
in the Capital decide in favor of them
they will each receive more than $4,000.
Mr.. McWhirter is employed by the

Must lie .Cut Ont"

Squeaky and acute noise-making horns
must be "cut out by autoists If the or
ders issued to the Police Department by
Maj. Sylvester are obeyed. The orders
are as follows:
Precinct Captains: The blowing of
horns other than those allowed by the
police regulations are being INDUCED in
by the operators of automobiles. and
you will observe that the members of
your bicycle squad enforce the regula-
tion on this subject. and "cut out the
squeaky and acute noise-making horns
which are prohibited by law"
The police regulations read that mo
tor vehicles shall sound a suitable bell,
gong, or horn when necessary to warn
persons-but nothing herein shall permit
any unnecessarily loud or discordant
alarm device"
Maj. Sylvester is much opposed to au-
to sirens and especially those quadruple
tube horns that sound like the death
wall of an alley cat. Maj. Sylvester IS
also opposed to the ringing OF bells or
blowing OF horns on autos for the fun
there is in II.
