 NEW YORK. June II. - If John ny Kilbane the now featherweight champion. adheres to his apparent intention of going against K. o. Brown. owen Moran. Leach Cross or some other of the lightweights now providing activity. he will be emulating the example of more than one of his predecessors on the 122- pound throne. Abe Attell and Ter ry McGoyern form most notable eX- amples of featherweights going out of their class to meet lightweight men.
 In the case of the Terrible Terry, pride of Tuckahoe he first began as bantam, then grew into a feath- ridiculous ease. It was as feath- erweight that he tumbled Pedler Palmer, the English champion. and annexed his first worlds title. Then he set out for the lightweights and disposed of every man with req sonable claim to that title in his time. As fate would have it. he finally succumbed to man in his own rightful class, featherweight, Young Corbett turning the trick.
 Attells experience was similar in more ways than one. Abe also fin ally fell before a featherweight af- ter reigning over the division for F years and also defeating many crack lightweights. His most mem- orable set-to with lightweight was his four-round bout with Bat Nelson, when the latter was cham pion. Abe realized the laurels to be gained by knocking out the cham pion in the class above his own and strove to put Nelson down for the count. As it was. he easily out pointed Nelson in the brief four rounds. but the law in Philadelphia where they fought. forbade decis- ions, so he did not capture the lightweight title.
 Fight Fans are wondering wheth- CT Kilbane will have the same sue cess against lightweights that Me Govern and Attell enjoyed, if, in- deed. he does allow himself to get matched up with any.
 The best pitchers in the American league are Wood, Walsh and John- son; in the National Marquard, Mar luard, and Marquard.
 The Giants have stolen more than twice as many bases as the next best base stealing club in the Ma tional league. Considering that they also lead in total hits, total runs, total home runs, total twobaggers and total victories, we have good explanation, without attempting any subtle analysis of why they lead the race.
 Tt is to laugh when you hear of all these one round,' knockout battling fighters" remarked an old sport the other day, Its pretty much all name with these lads. In the old days there were not so many men in the ring with terrifying nick names. but there was more real in a day than there is in a week now
 Jack Dempsey or Jack McAuliffe could go through the present bunch of lightweights like cows through a clover patch, but. nobody ever called | Dempsey 'One-round, Dempsey, and | we never heard of Knockout Jack l McAuiiffe, It's so all along the l line. When yea begin to call one of these boys by some terrible war | name it looks to me like it handi- | caps him. He is so busy living up to his name that he can't fight.
 The White Brothers of Chicago, Jack and Charlie, both feather have been making remark able strides in the fistic game of late. For time these boys were just mediocre fighters around Chicago, but of late they have into popularity with their
