lie We Meet Again I'll Knock Out
Abe Attell, Says New Champion
Johnny Kilbane Also Makes Some
Unusual Statements About
Prize Ring Doings.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March s..
Johnny Kilbane, the new
featherweight champion, is a cur
ious individual. A home lover, a
boy who doesn't believe that fight
ing is blood and thunder affair
and who never had a desire in his
life to harm a human being, he
is different from most world 8
champions who have always been
ready to mix it with a novice and
pound his head off for grand
stand plays. Johnny can't see the
grand stand stuff at all.
II never In my life had a desire
to hurt a man." he remarked in
an interview several days after he
won the championship. 81 believe
that as long as | am winning that
l should be as easy on an oppon-
ent as possible. This grand stand
stuff of getting sucker or a dub
before you and beating his head
off is very bad. never did 1t
and never will.
This all brings 1t back to the
| old subject as to whether a box
ing contest is a smuggling match oil
really science, where the hit and
get away clean is not better than
to slug hard and get slugged in
return.
"If l should ever fight Attell
again / will surely knock him out
as | have fathomed his entire re-
sources and he has nothing that
need worry about.
| 81 have no plans for the future
that were not made before the
contest. Probably there will be
more offers of matches and other
things, but l will continue to ac-
eept what looks like good contests
whether it comes from a strong
or weak opponent. / will not
make capital out of my champion
ship, but will give any good man
a chance at it.
81 owe my perfect condition in
my fights to two things. One al
them is right living and home life,
and the other is the great training
that Jimmy Dunn game me. You
know Attell went up against a
rather hard combination when he
| raced me.
Jimmy Dunn, my manager, had
been watching Attell work for ten
years. He realized that Attell was
a wonderful boxer, and he studied
his tactics until he knew them by
heart. Then he started to work out
a defense to Attell's attacks, and
an attack which would get by At
TELLS defense. Then there is Tim
my Kilbane, who fought Attell in
cleveland and In an unguarded
moment broke Attelfs shoulder
bone. This put the name of Kill
bane on the in-bad list of Attell.
Dunn taught me all he knew
about AttelPs style, and what he
did not know was not worth men
tioning. Then, as Tommy had
fought him and as I myself had
fought Attsll, the latter was fac
ing hard combination to beat"

SAN FRANCISCO, March s.
With Sacramento in training camp
at Marysville; Portland on the
way to Santa Maria; Vernon and
Los Angeles in the full swing of

San Francisco ready to leave for

movement in the Pacific coast

from now until April 2 when
"Play Ball" will be sounded the
interest will be kept alive by
"dope' from the training camps.
That the 1912 season will be a
record-breaker Is the general ex-
pectation of magnates and play
ers. Despite the loss of such
stears as Buddy Ryan, Peckin-
paugh, Steih, Oscar Witt, George
Weaver ana Flame" Dalhi. the
new blood injected into the league
promises to make 1t as fast an or.

On paper, San Francisco, with
80 odd men, figures to start the
training season with the greatest
strength, although Vernon, with
