NEGRO BOXERS CANNOT COMPETE

Having become convinced that there is at the present time no heavyweight champion owing to the fact that Jack Johnson has become deposed by public sentiment.

 Probably the reason Smith is without honor in his own country is because Caiiforians remember him as an ura- couth greenhorn who was a cI1oppine block for Johnson when the latter was training for his match with Jef- fries. At that time Smith did not look like promising material.

BEDIENT DISCOVERED
 BY ANOTHER OLD SCOUT
Many Now Claiming Honor of FInd-
 ing Red Sox Star.

It is always interesting to note how many persons come to the front to leaps into prominence. Hugh Bedient, who more or less scared to fame in the late worlds series. is now the object of the Christopher Columbuses.
 It has been related how R. J. Schu- macher discovered Bedienta and paid him $1.50 to pitch a game for the War Clepper. manager of the sharon, Pa. club; who says he walked two miles to a farm where Bedient lived, but failed to land him, as he could not persuade his parents to allow their son to take up professional baseball.
 Chopper tells it about like this: One day the sharon club was playing an exhibition game at Conneaut Lake when Meadeville, Pa, man told him about Bedient. Chopper hustled to Fall coner, N r., and walked two miles to driving isn't apparent unless the Shar- on club was as hard up for money as for players.1 Bedient was only 19, and his parents refused to allow him to leave home, but the young twirler promised that when he did get ready for professional ball he would give Chopper first crack.
 Bedient meantime pitched some good semi-pro ball for the Johnstown club. About that time there was great ri valry in Greenville between some of the Tube mill team heard of Bedient and engaged him to twirl game against the Carnegie club.
 He was told that if he won the game he would be paid s25 and if he lost he would get only $1O Needless to say he won the game 5 to O. He had four- teen strikeouts and only allowed a eou- pie of hits.
 But CIepper did not bet Bedient after all. Jess Burzett was scouting for promising young players and he heard of Bedient- He made an offer which the Sharon club could not meet and Bedient signed with the Fall River team in the New England league.
 He developed rapidly and soon after became the property of the Sox.

KILBANE THINKS FANS
 DON'T TREAT HIM RIGHT
Champion Says He Fought All the
 Hard Ones That Came Along.

Johnny Ki1bane, the boss feather weight pugilist of the world, is much and also in the opinion of a host of his admirers. Johnny has been pam ned tarpe and again for his alleged indifference in his bouts since he ac- quired the 13e-pound crown by de- feating Abe Atteu in Vernon, Cal, February p last.
 When one looks over the record of K1lbane from the time he started his upward climb by his defeat of Patsy Kline in Vernon, July 15. 1911, one is forced to the conclusion that the Sixth city dad has done everything the pub lie has asked of him, and it looks as if some of his detractors have been very unjust in their scathing criti- cism.
 Kilbane has met and defeated 12 boys starting with July 15, a year ago, up to the present tinne one of the pair Eddie OKeefe. twice. In his other fight with Jimmy Walsh in Boston, the referee gave a draw decision aI- though a number Of flair critics at the ringside said that KiIbane won hand fly
 Just look over the list of boys KiI- bane has met during the last Is months: Patsy Kline. Joe Rivers, Frankie Conley. Charlie White. Abe Tommy sO'TooIe, Tommy Dixon, John ny Dundee Jack Moore, Johnny AL banese and Eddie O'Keefe- Just two of this number were soft marks, Moore the negro of Pittsburgh, and Tom my Dugan of California. The others represent the class Of the feather weight world
 Ki1bane did not bar anyone. He knocked out the toughest of the bunch, the Mexican Rivers, and also knocked out Dugan- He had Conley. Kline and Attel1 in a bad way. And he has decisive1y defeated most of the others. Johnny thinks he has done everything that could be expected of him. He says that his detracstors have over looked the fact that the picking for him has not been so soft as has been the case with WolgaSt, Mcfarland and other topnotch fighters. Practical ly all of the boys he has met have been tough propositions.
 In finish fights Johnny feels certain that he could knock any or all of his opponents out. There Is little of the brute in Kflbane, but when pressed, as was the case in his last fight with Rivers, he showed a knockout punch. In his other bouts he has been com tent to win on points, sometimes by large margins, as was the case with Kline, ConIey, Attell and Burns, and on other occasions by narrow margins.
 Kilbane's record and money he has earned is shown in the following:
