KILBANE WINS ON POINTS.
Dundee's Rushes Met unvaryingly by
Left Jabs to the Face.

New York, Sept. 5.-Johnny Kilbane
OF Cleveland, holder of the festherweght
title, easily .outpointed Johnny Dun
dee in l0-round bout here last night.
Dundee rushed from the start but was
met unvaryingly with left jabs to the
face that rendered his efforts futile. The
cooness of the Cleveland boy disconcert-
ed Dundee and he swung wildly at the
elusive champion.
Kilbane varied his defensive tactics
with occasional mixes in which showers
of short-arm blows bewildered Dundee.
In the hot mix-up in the seventh, Dun
dee landed left hook to kilbane's nose,
which started the blood trickling.
At no time did Dundee have an ad-
vantage while kilbane apparently did
not at any time extend himself, easily
out-pointing his opponent in every round.
Abe Attell was introduced at the
ringside and issued challenge to the
winner.
There were two other l0-round bouts
on the program. Kid Williams of Bal
timore easily defeated Mickey Brown
of Boston, and Cal Delaney of Cleveland
a sparring partner of Kilbane, outclassed
Babe" Picato of Los Angeles.

with the Progressive vote.
II am greatly relieved at the result in
Vermont" he said. while on my three
days tour in the state became serious
ly concerned lest there should be prac-
tically no support whatever for the Pro-
gressive State ticket, because third or
half of the men who spoke to me
stated their belief in the Progressive
National ticket, but, did not not intend
to vote the State Progressive ticket.
"This was the reason why in my
speeches practically dropped all the APP
peal for the National ticket and urged
the support of the State ticket.
While in Vermont became convinced
that the Progressive party was growing
and the we would in all probability carry
the state in November; but | also be-
came convinced there was danger of n
complete breakdown so far as the state
