The phenomenal jumping of Al

won by the latter, 81 to 46. Crane
astounded all spectators by clear
ing the bar in the high jump at
six feet one and three-quarter
inches. 1t surpasses all records
on the coast, except that held by
HORNE, the wonderful jumped of
Stanford last year. Coach Bell
will send Crane to Chicago June

Kilbane Foolish Like Fox
He Is Out After The Coin

With his title of feathweight
champion, Johnny Kilbane is
showing some of the habits of
the former title holder, Abe At
tell.
AtteH was one of the foxiest
boxers that ever pulled ON a
glove, and, although he squand-
cred a fortune in gambling houses,
he was a good business man.
One of his pet games was to
box promising youngster and
get a close decision, permitting his
opponent to show well. Some of
the decisions were drawn very
fine, so carefully did the cham
pion conduct himself.
The result of Abe's cleverness
was a return match and Conner"
who was generally proved coun-
terfeit by Attell in the second
meeting.
Attell tried this with Kilbane,
boxing him in Kansas City over
the 10-round route and being
awarded a decision when a draw
would have been fair to botn
men. In the return bout at Los
Angeles, Attel lost his title.
Kilbane fought Johnny Dundee
April 2S in the same ring where
de defeated Attell. II was his first
20-round bout since he won the
title and the referee called it a
draw. which has caused much
criticism.
