kILBANE won FIGHT.
Given Decision Over Jimmy Walsh
Third Meeting, First Award.

Boston, Sept, 17.-Johnny Kilbans
of Cleveland, Ohio, the featherweight
champion, won a decision over Jimmy
Walsh of Boston, in a 12-round bout
at catch weights here last night
1t was the third bout between the
two men and the first decision at any
of their meetings. Walsh was appar-
emily much lighter than Kilbane and
fought defensively most of the time
Without offering a very strenuous
offense, Kilbane scored minor points
in nearly every round. Walsh did not
land half a dozen blows up to the
tenth. Then he started an attack of
left and right swings, several of which
found their mark on Kilbane's body
and neck. The champion aroused.
rained blows upon his opponent and
one right uppercut sent Walsh to the
mat. He was apparently dazed for a
second or two, but sparring for time,
waited during a count of eight and
Strengthened out for action. KiIbane
rushed him but was stopped by the
bell.
Except for the twelfth round, this
was the only extended series OF
punches throughout the fight. In the
closing sessions Walsh became the
aggressor, but Kilbane checked all but
a few of his efforts, then himself took
up the attack and scored two punches
for Walshs one in the last two min
utes of fighting.

SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC.
Their Relations to the Modern Rail-
way President.

Judge William r. Smith of this city.
formerly of the supreme bench, now
the attorney for the Santa Fe in Kan
sas, recently wrote a letter to a friend
in which he predicted the present posi-
ton of the once happy and untroubled
railroad president. The Judge wrote:
while consulting my family alma
nae to learn whether a dry day had
been selected for our next prohibition
picnic, I ran across the picture of a
man on the front page who was sur
rounded by the twelve signs of the
zodiac. His serious condition suggested
the attitude of a railway president of
today, and forcibly illustrates the diff
ficulties with which that official is
beset.

naked without sword or shield in the
midst of ferocious beasts and singing

human being is on guard over a par

MANY LEAGUES.
More Than Thirty-Five Under
National Commission.
Daily Attendance Averages
From 10000 to 100000.

There are over thirty-f1ve leagues
under the National Commission with
six to eight clubs apiece, playing an
average, possibly, of 100 games to the
daily attendance on organized baseball
of 100000 to 200, 900 people. Perhaps the
unorganized clubs draw half as many
more. Thirty million a year, at a min
imum! The Giants alone played to
100000 last season. The worlds series
drew total of 252, 900 for eight games.
And even those figures don't begin
to measure popular interest. You get
better idea when you add up the
amount of newspaper space and tele-
graph service that is devoted to base
ball every day in the season. Where is
the town that doesn't get the returns
by wire? Think of the Photographs in
every major league city and the crowds
they draw! Almost as many saw the
worlds series at the Madison Square
Garden Paragraph as actually went to
the gameS-all the garden would hold,
anyway. Then the bulletin boards!
There is no way of estimating how
many people daily watch the newspa
per bulletins, but it is an immense
number
And the extras-every play tele-
graphed in by special wire from the
grounds, and the forms made up and
gotten off the press SO fast that they
meet your trolley car half way down
town. One New York paper estimated
that 1t sold one hundred thousand eX-
tras daily during the worlds series.
One Cleveland paper sells a twenty
thousand sporting edition every day.
Every morning paper of any conse-
quence prints box-scores, and you old
newspaper men know what telegraph
ing box-score means-the big chance
of confusion in wiring the players
names and the string of six separate
figures after each one, and then the
summary of the game. 1t isn't like
wiring a supreme court decision either;
you haven't got all night to do it. The
news editor will stand for a hold-over
once in while. but there is nothing
doing in hold-overs with the sporting
editor nor with the fans. Now if you
recall how many mistakes you have no
ticed in all the thousands of box-scores
you have read, you will have a good
record for the service"

SANTA FEES COOPERATION PLAN
Outcome of Colonization Means Better
Sale of Transportation.

1.-The question sometimes Is asked,
Why does the Santa Fe railway spend
so much money and do such work
through it's Industrial, colonization, ad-
vertising and publicity departments in
cooperating with the communities
along its line in the general develop
ment of the country" said an official
in Topeka today. "A proper question.
and one easily answered. The Santa
Fe, with valuable property interests in
every township and ward traversed by
its rails, has only one commodity to
sell, and that is transportation. Nat
uraIly it wants to increase its sales. as
the merchant and the farmer want to
increase their sales, and as the bank
er AMI the professional man want to
extend their operations. Experience
of the ages proves that the best way
to increase business is by co-opera-
tion.
1.-The Santa Fe is helping in the gen.
eral development scheme because the
greater the prosperity of the peo-
pie in Santa Fe territory, the
greater the prosperity of the Santa F'e
company. The interests of the COM
pany and the public are mutual. 1t
is business, what might be termed
Big Business, to help others and get
