never will fight another battle. The
words Johhy spoke when friend Of
his was killed in an Ohio ring are about
to come true.
Kilbane promised then that he never
would fight any more, butt he lure of a
fight with Freddie Welsh, then the
worlds lightweight champion. and the
added inducement of a battle with Ben
ny Leonard made him break over. Kill
bane declared after the bout with Leon
ard that he would like to have another
chance. IN six months he said, he would
try again If Leonard would give him
him the opportunity. The probable truth
is, however, that Kilbane has hung UP
his gloves for all time. There remains
no creditabIe featherweight for him to
battle: his ambition for conquering two
boxing worlds has been stifled. He has
made lots Of money and saved IL. There
would be nothing surprising If he never
fought again.
The question Of a probable match for
Leonard arises since he has beaten the

Fishing and Camping
Seasons Full Sl7inQ

The hshings camping. canoeing and
hiking season in the north country Is
now in fun swing and will remain so
until late autumn. The low tempera-
lures OF June and early July served to
keep the countless lakes OF the forest
region Ia cool and clear condition, and
excellent fishing is in prospect for all
the rest Of the season. The cool. rainy
weather Of early July kept the fish
quiet in some localities but the warm
weather has set them moving. and
every report from fisherman, resorter
and guide tells of great improvement
in the most exciting and restful OF
northern sports.
The north woods never have been
more attractive than al present Both
forests and lakes are dotted with flow
ers. many OF them a month late in
coming to bloom. Northern veseta-
ton never has been more luxuriant.
the crystal springs never have had a
more copious flow, and the lakes and
rivers. campsites and trails never have
been more inviting With all condi-
lions so nearly ideal. the north woods
and lakes are attracting this season all
their old lovers and many thousands of
persons who are visiting them for the
nrst time.
Reports from all the fishing waters
indicate that this is to be a banner

angling The kingly muskeIunge. the
lordly trout. the bold and dashing bass
and that corsair OF the forest waters,

time fishermen. visitors TO the north
woods for many years. relate that the
cool weather OF the spring and early
summer put more fight into the fish
than they have shown for years. The
trout waters have remained in par
