amusement park Last night the advance
sale reached $4,000, and this morning a
long line formed in front of the Breakers
Hotel where the tickets were on sale 1t is
predicted that every seat will be taken,
which means $4,000 house, the largest
ever seen at n featherweght contest. AS
the arena will seat but 10000, and all of
the SO and SIS seats already are gone, the
$3.50 and $40 boxes should easily be dis
posed of before the bout is called at y. M,
eastern time.
Both the champion and the challenger
have made the required weight with little
difficulty and will enter the ring in excellent
condition. They are confident of victory
and each says that IL he loses, no excuse
will be offered. Chaney says he will win
within 10 rounds, but Kibane is more con-
servative. He declares he will win, but re-
fuses to set time limit.
Back Kilbane
But the conservatism is only on Klbane's
part The boxing public is behind him to
a man, and every newspaper man save one
has awarded him the battle before 1t starts.
The boxers, too-those who have fought
him in the past-are loud in their asser-
tions that the champion will win with lit
tie difficulty.
This sentiment has been echoed by the
gentlemen who wear d-checked suits and
noisy neckwear, and who generally risk
legal-tender on the chances of one OF the
4 participants. Iney were anNlOus 10 peI
their money on this bout, but the only
chance they have is to make mind bets,
as everybody wants to get down something
on Kilbane.
The largest bet was made by James F.
Dougherty. the baron of Leiperville, at the
Breakers last night, when he put up $1,000
even money that Kilbane will knock out
Chaney in less than 10 rounds.
A Baltimore enthusiast took the other
end.
outside of that one instance Cedar Point
resembled race track on Sunday, with
flock of ministers in the grand stand. Odds
of to 1 on Kilbane have been scorned.
The chances are that to will be offered
before the boxers enter the ring.
A Bad Sign
Old-tlrIe ring folowers-and there are
many here today-shake their heads at
this excessive confidence on the part of the
public and say that 1t is a bad sign. They
point out that in sports. more than any
thing else, the grandoldope is kicked to
pieces and surprises always are sprung
Kilbane is working under terrible jinx
handicap, and, according to the perform
ances of champions in the past. should be
dethroned by the invader from Baltimore

Gone and Going

Gone. all gone" as Mr.. Lamb remarked
"are the old familiar faces" Exc the old
familiar machines.
Fate destiny or the dope has set the life
of a great championship ball club at five
years.
Fate. destiny or the dope has set the life
of an average championship ball club at
three years.
The Cubs and Mackmen were the only
two machines able to survive five summers,
for, while each was beaten in this span,
each came back the next year over the
triumphant highway.
But no other machines have lasted longer
in victory than three seasons.
Three years were sufficient for the old
Pirates, for the Tigers and for the Giants.
Connie Mack merely beat time to it.
John McGraw tried to piece out his
championship club and rebuild gradually,
but he found the job beyond him.. The only
way seems to be a new start. Today, of
those who led the Giants home in front
through 1918, only Fletcher, Herzog, Burns
and Tesreau are left The Giants, minus
Matty, Doyle, MerlIle, Myers, Marquard,
hardly seem to be the Giants.
But Giant rooters felt the same way
when Donln. McGinty. Bowerman, Dew
lin, Mertes and Bresnahan left. In rebuild
ing his new winner. McGraw retained only
Mathewson. Ames and Wiltse. The others
were cast adrift. Only three or four can
survive when the dsmantling process
starts.
Those who have gone may yet play
great ball in new surroundings. But their
big day In New York was about over. The
campaigns of 1914, 1915 and 1916 have
proved this beyond any debate.
