JOHNNY k|ibANE WILL
QUIT FfATHtRWt|GHT

Johnny kilbane. the unaisputed
boss Of the featherweights. may soon
abandon that division. The Cieve-
lander is rapidly outgrowing the 1872
pound class, and it Is only a question
of months when he will be fighting
et,ularly at the lightweight standard.
kllhane is considering an offer from
Gotham promoter to make his de-
but as lightweight against Leach
Cross, Johnny is likely to accept the
match. The more kilbane ponders
over the proposition, the better he
seems to like 1t. Johnny Is of the
opinion that Leachie has mislaid his
punch soporific, and therefore he
would not be taking such chance.
If the match materializes, the men
will meet at 1873 pounds ringside.
Cross would ha re some difficulty at
tanning this poundage, A victory over
Cross would be quite an suspicious
start for Kilbane as a lightweight.
When the Cross matter was pro-
posed TO kilbane the featherweight
champion expressed the desire to meet
Benny Leonard first. The conqueror
of Joe Mandot would be a better
drawing card, according to Kilbane.

ffOERAky DOWNFALL
Is DUE To SALARIES

New York, Dec. 26.-The liberalify
of the Federal League toward its ball
players left the club owners of organ
lied ball dumfounded when the i'eds
showed their salary list at the recent
peace meeting in this city. A club
owner in one of the major leagues
stated yesterday that he was surprised
when the Federal League officials told
of the thousands of dollars they had
spe9t on inflated salaries. In order
to lure the players away from the
major leagues their salaries were
doubled and some of them were
tripled. According to the officials of
organized ball, it was this unusual ex-
travagance of the Federal League
which caused its downfall.
n few examples of the increase
which the Federal League gave In
salaries shows that it was impossi bic
for the Federal League to ever come
out even financially. The following
table shows hew much salary some of
the players received under organized
baseball and what the Federal League
paid them:
