GREATEST CRIMINAL
The Professional Dynamite Crimi-

His Exploits Before Court and
Jury.

Surely the revelations made by
the Master of All Butcher es and
arch friend McManigal who is now
entertaining the Court and thej
country ON how dynam{tin has,
been carried on in the U. States
without danger of arrestA SHOULD
emit tie him to a pension for having
been the greatest dynamite crimi-
nal that ever lived.
Regardless of the Ives of others
he walked about with his nitrogly-
cerine in h S pocket or suitcase al
ways ready for the clock to be
attached! with which to blot out
the lives ofworkmen, ignorant of
any danger.
The destruction Of property as a
crash followed another was music
TO this insane criminals ears. The
cries of the orphans lsft destitute
by his madness was a glee to his
being. The capture of this human
monster was clever but his
ssqueal on his steering committee
d. the aveng ing of a coward. He
should be kept in luxury the rest
of his mutual life but for the love
OF Moses dno't let him have pock-
SITS in his clothes nor b. s suitcase
for his duds. He should be fed
on dainties from now on, and kept
ON rock in mid-ocean to med, tate
Give him wireless telegraphy to
call up supplies only. His sole com
panion should be Shrank the Third
Term Protector. But for all that
y good and great give ne. ther

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. OPT
San Francisco fight fans are spec
ulating on the chances OF
Johnny Kilbane, featherwefgh bit
champion, and Abe Attell coming
together in return match and
accepting Promoter Ed. Graney's
offer of $4,000 purse for 2p
round bout March % or 20. In
his offer Graney agreed that If the
boys prefer, they can have a per-
centage of the gate instead of the
purse.
The wise ones don't think
Graney has a chance to land the
card. Although no word has come
from either Attell or Kilbane the
fans don't think Johnny will con-
slider the offer.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 27.
-Kilbane will not talk business
to Attell for at least six months, .
said Manager Jimmp Dunn
when asked whether the feather
weight champion will accept Eddie
Graney's offer of $4,000 for a
mill in San Francisco.
Dunn said that his boy will fill
his vaudeville dates after which
he will rest in Cleveland.
McCarey, Dunn said, will be
given the first chance to bid for a
return match.

Much was expected of Russell
Blackburn by Charlie Comiskey
last season. Blackburn was pur-
chased for $500 and had been
the sensation of the Eastern
league.
Unfortunately Black burn got
away to poor start, going sew
eral games without a hit, which
destroyed his confidence and eff
fected his fielding. When he did
find his stride an injury put him
out of the running.
About this time Jack Sheridan
was having trouble with his eyes
and one morning the Chicago pa
pers contained stories of the
troubles of the young player and
veteran umpire.
Sheridan's case had been dag
nosed by an eye specialist, while
Blackburn's physician had advised
an operation on his knee.
While unable to play. Black
burn was trying to earn his sal
airy and was sent out to coach.
Sheridan was working the bases
and a number OF close decisions
had gone against the Sox ON the
