'You may as well listen to reason"
suggested Fremantle.
Munson's hand went out and
snapped the switch. The room was
in complete darkness. The two men
faced each other, but each could see
nothing. Neither could hear the
other breathe. Munson wondered if
his pistol still covered his enemy.
There was a minute still, and out
of the darkness came the voice of

GEORGE CHANEY
IS CONFIDENT HE
WILL WIN TITLE
Baltimore Lad Bell eve s
Time Is Ripe for Finish
of Kilbane
LATTER STILL FAVORITE
By ROBERT w. MAXWELL

CLEvLAND, o., Sept 2.-It's a long lane
that has no turn and George Chaney is OF
the opinion that the turn in Johnny Kill
bane's featherweight championship will
come that day at Cedar Point, when he de-
clares Johnny Is doomed to lose his title
to the challenger from Baltimore at Matt
Hinkers f.stic carnival, and CLANCY doesn't
stand alone in his opinion. There are ring
fans by the score and hundreds for that
matter, who believe that the sturdy, little
lad from the East has an excellent chance
to gain the honor which Kilbane has guard
ed so zealousy during the past four and
one-half years, in their 15-round decision
clash.
There's no dlscounting Chaney's ability.
He's great battler who carries a punch
in either hand, has an abundance of science
at his command and withal is game to
the core and always tried to cry the mixing
to the other fellow Were there no Johnny
Kilbane in the featherweight ranks yours
truly would be tempted to herald Chaney
as king of the 122-pounders, but there is
Johnny Kilbane and he's monarch of all
he surveys in the 122-pound class. That is
he has been boss of all the feathers for
more than four years now and look for
him to continue I'm the van after the Cedar
Point affair. l think that Klbane has
everything in his repertoire that CLANCY
has in his stock in trade and then some,
and I figure him to prove 1t in a convincing
manner at the HinRle carnival
1 may be away off in my reckoning, and
II Chaney does come through with de-
cisive victory over the champion I'll join
those who have insisted right along that
he was Kilbane's master. But am en-
listed in the big show army until CLANCY
pulls the trick.
Matt Hinlle will be the third man in the
ring in the main bout. The semifinal will
bring together Luke Gingly and Kid Wolf
in 10 rounds, while Cyclone Yelsky and
Jimmy Katz will meet in the eight-round
curtain-raiser The show starts at o'clock
eastern time, rain or shine. Indications
point to big house as Hinkle says that
his advance sale is about the $25 900 mark.

ing sometimes is,

In 1911 there was n general hunch that
Hilton was going to be the hardest man to .
beat Hilton won.
In 1912 the championship was figured be
tween Evans and Travers. Travers won.
In 1918 Travers was given all the best
of II in the dope Travers won.
In 1914 Travers and Ouiment were ton

For the Field at last had risen we'll above
any two or three favorites, and the Non.
combatant at last was unable to make any
pick that was not a guess.
Harder Than Ever
If 1915 was a tangle, 1915 makes the
guessing harder than ever. Chick Evans IA
rated the favorite, but even Chick is not as
well favored as Travers was in 1918 or az
Oulmet was year later on.
For in 1914 Chick finished only ons

oially II he should meet formidable oppos.
tion at the start before he was able to
swing out at top speed.

tries this fall to figure any one man as an
outstanding favorite.
Chance for New Name
What chance is there for a new name to
be inscribed upon the list of amateur cham-
pions Those who have already won are
Gardner, Travers, Byers, Fownes. Those
who have yet to win include Evans, Kirkby,
Marston, Whitney, Sawyer, Anderson, Care
ter and Guilford among many others
Judgln from this, the odds are at least
to 1 that a new champion will be written
down by Saturday night, for those who have
yet to win are more formidable array
than those who have already known the
glory of the heights
Ono of the vets may yet come through,
but the chances are the other way.
Many Upsets
We look for an unusual number Of up-
sets in this tournament. There are too
many on the outside of the championship
fringe who are quite capable of beating any
one man on certain day to permit any
set prophecy to stand. We still believe
that If any one man is to be picked above
the field the name belongs to Chick Evans
But there can be no feeling approaching
certainty until the draw has been made
Monday afternoon. For the draw in a
championship is a bigger part of the final
result now than 1t ever was before.

that Cincinnati and Cleveland or the New

That being impossible. as It now LOOKS
our next desire centered upon or around

on UP to the heights. If Fielder Jones
could steer the Browns into first place 1t
would be worth worlds series trip from
Boston or Brooklyn or Philadelphia to ST
Louis back and forth, and any one VINO
thinks such a trip is going to be a romp
should have his attic repaired at once be-
fore It becomes total loss
1916 and 1908
The two pennant races of 1916 recall
the wild and frenzied finishes of 1908.
That year in the National League New
York, Chicago and Pittsburgh were all In
a lump on the last two days, while Detroit,
Chicago, ST. Louis and Cleveland were
knotted and clotted in the American.
There were seven teams in the hunt then
to the final week. Nineteen sixteen hardly
will be as spectacular, but there will be
at least three National League clubs
scurrying together along the September
stretch, with at least four American League
clubs, and possibly five closely scrambled
around the last turn.
Pace Setting
You hear lot about the fine nerve
shown in coming from behind. But the
greatest nerve there is is required for the
front runner to hold his lead. The inces-
SAINT thud of an opponent in ones immediate
wake Is the greatest soul disturber in the
game.
1t is this matter of setting pace that at
last has begun to get on the nerves of
Brooklyn in the National and Boston in the
American The have felt the warm and
woolly breath of their opponents upon their
necks for some time now, and the strain Is
beginning to tell.
The Red Sox, nearly always strong at
nome, haven't done as well this time on
home soil as they did out West, where they
won IL out of IS games In place of get
ting big jump still further to the good,
they lost ground to the leading Western
contenders, and now face long September
road trip with the odds badly chopped We
nave figured right along that the Red Sox
would need four or five game margin
when they started West in order to win.
III their margin is cut below this in the
next few days the best inside tip available
is that Western club will come through.
