Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 2S.- Johnny
Kilbane, the new featherweight cham
pion, appeared today with his left
eye discolored from the erfects Of the
goat tactics" of Abe Attell at Yer.
non yesterday. The cut, inflicted by
Attelps head in the sixteenth round,
was the only mark Of the battle the
Cleveland fighter showed.
"Attell says he wants another
chance; will you give it to him?" Kill
bane was asked.
Il don't think he deserves it." the
new champion answered, ~after the
foul way he fougth yesterday. Be,
sides the public knows nttell would
stand no chances with me and that
would hurt the gate"
Promoter Tom McCarey declared
here was little likelihood of a return
match at Vernon. Kilbane has ac.
cepted a theatrical engagement ana
said today he would remain on the

Wilson Addresses students.

Lawrence, Kans., Feb. 23.-It was as
a university man to university men
that Governor Woodrow Wilson ad
dressed the students of the Univer
sity of Kansas here today. He talked
15 minutes. All classes were dis.
missed during his visit. The cost OF
living was his theme.
1T would be a fallacy, ne said, ito
tell you students of economics that
cost of production governs the cost OF
commodity. The cost of production
is too uncertain. 1t varies in differ
ent factories. 1t varies in ono factory
under different superintendents.,
Governor Wilson arrived here from
Topeka at $3.50 O'Clock. He was in
troduced to the students by Governor
w. R. Stubs of Kansas. He depart
ed at 9:15 o'clock, expecting to reach
Tenn, tomorrow morning
where he will make an address.
