KILBANE AT HIS BEST.
Easily 0utpoints 0'Keefe in Bout
Bristling With Speed.

NEW YORK, September 20.-Johnny
Kilbane. the featherweight champion of
the world, had little trouble in outboXing
Eddie O'Keefe, the Philadelphia feather
weight, in ten fast, snappy and clean
rounds of boxing at Madison Square Gar
den last night. Okeefe gave the cham
pion a good battle all the way, but there
was just that little something that makes
champion, or unmakeS one, that
O'Keefe lacked, and Kilbane was able to
maintain his advantage until the end. In
the other ten-round bouts Willie Beecher,
the rugged little lightweight from the
East Side, stopped Tommy Gary Of Chi
cago in five rounds, and Paul Koehler of
Cleveland slightly outpointed Jack Good
man in a slashing contest that fairly
bristled with speed and action. A fair
sized crowd witnessed the bouts.

baffling defense is concerned the Forest

slipped away from the right-hand coun-

shot the right to the body. He worked a
pretty right-hand cross to the head in

pretty to see but he lacks the punch.
There was never minute when
O'Keefe was in any great danger, and

The south Atlantic championships will
be held tomorrow. The meet will take
place in Baltimore, and will be held on
the Patterson Park oval.
The games bid fair to be we'll con-
tested, and should be the most interest
ing in years, from a Washington stand
point. The consolidation of Washington
Cross-country Club and the Washington
Athletic Association just about gives the
local organization one of the strongest
squads that has ever been sent to one OF
the championship meets from a club.
OF course it may be that the men who
will represent the Washington Athletic
Association are not in as good condition
as might be the case, and under such
circumstances they would naturally fail
to show the real strength in the club. 1t
is more than likely. though, that enough
material will be on hand to score the
majority of the points.
Only once has any club had as large
and competent an aggregation competing
in the meets in recent years as has the
Washington Athletic Association this
season, and that was when the Maryland
Athletic Club was in the zenith of its
athletic power. The Baltimore organiza-
ton had Requardt the Cornell hurdler;
Carpenter, just before he ran in the Olym-
pic games. and Royal Gill. one Of the best
sprinters in the south at the time, as the
backbone of its strength, and those three
men just about swept things.
Whether or not the Washington ath-
letes will break into the won column in
the south Atlantic championships tomor-
row remains to be seen, but under any
conditions it is certain that they will
make about the best showing that has
ever been accomplished by any Of the
District clubs.
The addition of the two Dean Academy
tackles and the Andover fullback of last
year just about gives Georgetown squad
that will compare favorably with any in
the country. There is no question that
the Blue and Gray eleven will have a lot
of candidates out for 1t who will at least
be the equal Of those trying for positions
on the big teams.
Georgetown has the best looking squad
out now that has ever turned out for a
team on the Hilltop in many a year SO
early in the season. There is no doubt
that the Blue and Gray candidates num-
Der more now than they did this time
last season. The first few days of prac-
tice during the recent years have found
for the team. Now there are about three
elevens on the field.

on will look after the interest of the men
who are out for foot ball. While Bill

Plants and Tobacco Smoke.
From the Scientific American.


Prof Molisch. the plant psychologist
Of the University of Prague, has
shown i'm some of his earlier work
that large numbers of micro-organ-
isms. plants as we'll as animals. and
the seedlings OF higher. plants are eN-
tremely sensitive to the influence Of
tobacco smoke, some being even killed
thereby. Many of the deleterious ef-
fects experienced hy plants living i'm
laboratories We're formerly attributed
to the small quantities of illumnat-
ing gas which frequently vitiates the
atmosphere OF such rooms: but Mol
isch'S experiments let no room for
doubt that it is really the tobacco
smoke that does the harm His pic
lures showing the growth of pea and
vetch seedlings in the presence and
in the absence of tobacco smoke are
very striking
In his more recent experiments he
used older plants Of various species.
including species of spiderwort, eche-
veria. eupatorium, selacinella and
others None OF these plants showed
any ill effects from the treatment. al
though exposed for long time to an
atmosphere filled with toDacco smoke.
Other plants. however. responded in
various striking ways.
Brehmeria utilis and Splitgerbera
bilaba changed their manner OF
growth When placed in large bell
jar and few puffS of smoke from n

leaves of these plants. ordinarily

gan to turn on their stalks, in the
course of from twenty-four to forty
eight hours, until they were in ver-
teal plane. In the case of the breh-
meria they continued their rotations
beyond this point. describing spiral.
Similar disturbances were produced
upon these two plants by illuminating
gas But other plants used in the ex-
periments showed similar effects Of to-
bacco smoke, but did not respond to
the illuminating gas.
Earlier experiments showed that
various narcotics provoke abnormal
developments Of the breathing holes

ments with tobacco smoke on the pota.
to and on other plants led to the same
results. often with the accumulation
of masses of liquid under the swollen
areas.
In some plants Of the bean family
the tobacco smoke caused the leaves
to drop off in a very short time. The
sensitive plant tMimosa pudica) and
the black locust tRobina pseudacacia)
and others lost all or nearly all OF
their leaves in from twenty-fo four TO
forty eight hours after being placed
in an atmosphere containing tobacco
smoke To a smaller degree smoke
from wood and paper and illuminat-
Ing gas produced similar results. The
fumes of nicotine had very little in
huence.

assistance to the Cleveland pitchers.
Carisch, who has seen long service in
