Johnny Kilbane, despite all the
roasting, manages to bob forth every
now and then and clean up the other
fellow" No matter how well Kilbane
performs or who he defeats the old
anarchistic chorus, which is always
again the government" plays the an
vii to discordant notes. Yet, Kilbane,
the champion. has been able to main
tain his title against all corners, but
he has been given small credit for h 6
prowess in the ring. Kilbane is real
champion and he is a real man. 1t
may be that he is unpopular because
he doesn't "go around but he is a
happy married man with a darling
wife and two little babies to keep him
company, SO he plays the old fireside
most of the time. Kilbane might fight
more and to his advantage, but he
seems to have managed vel so far.
The time will come when he will be
given his just dues as a champion,
but that will not be until after he is
beaten man.

When Ad Wolgast meets Joe Rivers
on May % at Los Angeles, Wolgast's
right to again meet Willie Richie will
be decided. Although it looks as if
Richie is Wolgast's master at fisti-
cuffs, the fact remains that both of
their fights were rather unsatisfac-
tory, as far as the decision was con-
cerned. In the first bout, which lost
Wolgast the championship, Richie
won on a foul and in their other bat
tie Wolgast claimed that he was
fouled. Great little fighter that VOL
CAST has been in his day. 1t looks as
If he is not quite good enough for
Ritchie. The new champion is no
mistake. and Tommy Murphy will tell
you that.

j. p. NJ:
l am a constant reader of your

the inVincible "Sportius," who has
created a sensation among the readers
of your valuable paper. | am not 8
writer. nor do L profess to know as
