BY LEFT HOOK.

Johnny KiIbane needs SYM
pathy. He's a champion with no
body to fight. He's a regular
Robinson Cruso in the prize ring
and he might as well be on a far
away island as king of the feath-
erweight division.
It's all because they are not
growing any more good 122 and
124-pounders. There isn't a thing
at the weight-regardle of the
long-winded howls of managers
with touted phenoms-that can
give the Cleveland marvel a bat
tie. Johnny can make the tough
est kid in the elias look foolish
in ten rounds il he doesn't get
over the dream wallop. He usual
ly gets over that wallop, however.
Now somebody wants Johnny
to pick on poor old Abe Attell,
from whom he won the champion
ship. Abe was a whale for the
3 years he held the title but only
a couple of years ago he quit In
the midst of a fight with a com
parative tyro in st. Louis. walked

over the ropes, held up his gloves
and announced:
Gentlemen, guess I'm
through"
Since then Abe has been no
stranger to the high spots. IL is
agreed that Kilbane should finish
him in five rounds.
But who is Kilbane to fight?
Late last year Johnny was on
the verge of plunging into the
lightweight class. While he ia
without A CLASS he Is by no
means without CLASS. He un-
doubtedly could clean up pretty
near all of helightweights, but
what could he do with the half
dozen at the top remains to be
seen.
1t is to be deplored that there
is no good test for him in the
featherweight class. Johnny is
one of the few legitimate cham
pions, and the only one. with the
exceptio nof Jack johnson, who
has held his title through 1914,

But Tennyson's SO striking contrast be-

contrast between one sort and another
sort of faith. He writes a confession that
the old sort, the unthinking, traditional,
ignorant faith of his earlier DAYS. was
being supplanted by scientific discussion
and scientific opinions, and he hopes and
prays that this scientific something that
was crowding out the older faith might
prove good substitute, provoking as real
reverence, an even deeper reverence,
than 1ourished in the days when the
world was full of all degrees and types
of superstitious fears and ignorant awe.
In truth that which came in as science
was only another sort of faith, not
