Welsh would be for Johnny. that he is
the greatest featherweight that ever
held the title, etc. No one denies that
kilbane is a wonderfully clever fighter.
but when he won the title from Abe At
tell at Los Angeles February %, 1912,
it was not by Knockout, but by
point decision, and not much to spare
at that. 1t also must be borne in mind
that Attell was never much more than
a good-sized bantamweight, for he al
ways was able to make 11s pounds, but
could not get to the 116-pound limit.
Abe had gone the pace, too, and when
he met Johnny at Los Angeles he was
not at his best. Just the same, Johnny
winning the title. However, there is
doubt whether Kilbane is a greater
fighter than Johnny Griffin, George Dix
on. Solly Smith. Jem Driscoll and boys
of that class; also Terry McGovern
when he was real featherweight;
every one OF them had a Knockout
kick. AS for beating Freddy Welsh.
why. that is another question. Johnny
would find a boxer with every bit as
and he would have to give away about
ten pounds in weight, which would be
a big handicap. In one of the state
ments it was announced that kllbane
had given Richie Mitchell, the Mil
waukee lightweight. severe trimming.
The fact is, Mitchell was given the
newspaper decision by all the Milwaukee
and Chicago papers. II Johnny is going
after Welshs crown, would 1t not be
better for him to first prove his right to
try for the lightweight championship by
meeting the contenders in that class, such
boys as Richie Mitchell, Charlie White,
Johnny Dundee, Benny Leonard and Ever
Hammer? Should he defeat a couple OF
that bunch, there would be no question
about his right to a match with Welsh.
I do not wish to take any credit from
Johnny, but facts are facts.

LAUREL OPENS TOMORROW.
Thoroughbreds Will Race for More
Than $15O,OOO During the Meeting.

The best thoroughbred racers in the
country are gathered at Laurel Park
for the race meeting that is to begin
at that course tomorrow. Laurel Park
is the most conveniently located course
in the east, it is said, and is the only
race course that Washington can
properly call its own. This years meet
ing will be the most successful from
every point of view ever held at Laurel
Park Since last fall there have been
extensive improvements made and the
track itself is now regarded by horse
men as the fastest in the country. Col.
Matt Winn, the manager of Laurel
Park. who is also the genius of the
new course at Churchill Downs and
that a Iuarez. in Mexico. believes the
Maryland plant is the most complete

and he purposes to make II more beau.
tiful. The clubhouse is the most or
nate and well-ordered of any in this
section and it is sure to prove popular
with Washington society. Membership
in the club has increased very greatly
and now includes many persons promi-
nent in official Washington and among
the hunting devotees.
More than $150.000 is to be given
away in stakes and purses by the
Maryland State Fair Association. under
whose auspices the race meeting is
conducted. There are nineteen stakes
down for decision, framed for all ages
and conditions of racers. The big
handicapS for the older division of
horses are the Baltimore, Washington
and National handicaps, each with
$500 added. which makes them worth
more than $4,000 each to the winner.
There are numerous stakes for the
two-year-o olds. and in these events the
stars of the juvenile division are en-
tered. In the older lists are such
stars as The Finn, Roamer. Short
Grass. Stromboli, Spur, He Will, Bor-
row and many others.
This year the races at Laurel Park
will begin at 1:45 pm. instead of at
2:30, and seven races will be run each
day. The last race will be over before
5 o'clock and racegoers will be back in
in plenty of time for din
ner.
Steeplechasing is to be a big feature
Of the meeting. Two stakes have been
framed for the jumpers. and there will
be overnight cross-country races every
lay or two. The steeplechase field is
new one entirely within the course and
has been pronounced by SO good
Judge as Jockey Willie Allen the best
in the country.

tomato plants, or at the ends OF
the branches begin to wilt, with
out being discolored or spotted, ,
and this wilt gradually works
back until the entire plant is eff
fected, Tomato Wilt is in the

This disease is caused by a
bacterium which gets into the
tissues of the plant and plugs up
the water carrying, vessels to
such an extend that the circu-
lation is cut off, thus causing the
plant to wilt.
The bacterIum which causes
the diseases cannot be destroyed
