While negotiations stood at dead

Militia of Texas, Arizona and New

General Funston asked the War De-

General Pershing contracted his
line to 150 miles. with ColOnia Dublan

Nearly 5000 regular troops, includ-

American cavalrymen OF the Eighth

KILBANE'S 5 title
Gone BY DEFAULT?
SportSmen To Decide If
Chaney'S Claim
Is Just
SENTIMENT SEEMS
TO BE DIVIDED

Johnny Kilbane, the Cleveland
featherweight, has again proved his
class. says Billy Recap, Philadelphia
ring authority. Kilbane went to Phils-
delphia on Monday night and made
Willie Jackson, who had been touted
as a second Benny Leonard, look like
a novice. II was only the combined
humane nature of Referee Frank
OBrien and Kilbane that saved Jack
son from being sent to dreamland.
The public was made to expect too
much Of Jackson. According TO Ro-
cap he is no more than a third-rate
preliminary boxer, and yet hore is
how the club press agent extolled
him on the afternon of the contest:
jackson came to Philadelphia and
astonished the fans by knocking out
Jimmy Murphy and Joe Welsh and
beating Sam RObideau. Jackson then
asked the club officials to match him
with whom they pleased. 1t was de-
cided to match him with the feather
weight champion
Now. the real truth is said to be that
Jackson never performed any OF these
feats he is accredited with. In fact,
he never met any one of the three
boxers mentioned They are all light
weights, while Jackson is a feather
weight That was the bait used to
lure the crowd
What the sporting public wants to
know is this: When is Kilbane to de-
fend his title and how long Is he to
continue to sidestep aspirants for the
| featherweight title? Sentiment seems
to be divided as to whether Kilbane
| has defaulted his title by breaking
! his contract with CLANCY. Recap is
asking the opinion of sportsmen.
/ Here are the facts.
On December "a. 1915. representa-
tives OF the American Athletic Club.

and had Kilbane. through his man
ager. Jimmy Dunn, sign articles Of
agreement to meet Chaney on March
II. 1916. in a 15-round championship
battle for a decision at 122 pounds
ringside. The municipal authorities
of Baltimore had given a special dis
position for the bout. allowing Man
ager Dunn to dictate all the. terms.
Kilbane was to receive $500. with
the privilege Of 40 per cent. OF the
gross IecelplS. Ever thlhb was So1i9-

ager came East on February II. one
month before the match. and de-
posted 81 COO as forfeit required by
the article OF agreemnt. The amount
remained on deposit in the city until
the day Of the proposed contest.
Neither Dunn nor Kilbane honored
this agreement. They both crawled
out Of the match. Chaney's manager
subsequently claimed the title and
stands ready to defend It.
