IBY a. c. HAMILTONl

limited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July 26.-Benny
Leonard, the worlds lightweight
champion, stands out today glitter
Ing figure, undoubtedly one of the
greatest champions his class ever
saw, as a result of his victory over
Johnny Kflbane, king of the feather
weights, in three rounds at Philadel-
phia.
No man, lightweight or feather
weight, has ever been given higher
rating than Kilbane. Champion in
his own class, four times he has
stepped into ring against another
champion and three times he has
come off victorious. The last time
was last night when he failed.
In the sum up, it was a repetition
of an old story-a good, big man can
always beat good. little man; it
was a repetition of the demonstration
Kilbane himself staged when he gave
Kid Williams, then the bantamweight
champion, beating.
Leonard's superior weight, his
superior Furnishing and a crafty ring
generalship carried the fight for him
His terrific crushing blows were too
much for the great little man he de-
feated. Reason would predict that
another bout between the two could
have but one ending-another defeat
for Kilbane.
Kilbane, a master at defense, a
merciless punisher when his title has
been threatened, was at the mercy
of the lightweight king. His ring
generalship might as we'll have been
left at home; his defense might just
as well have been in Honolulu; his
fists were treated as II they had been
a baby's blows. It was tragedy
for Kilbane, for he had beaten Welsh,
the former lightweight king and had
reached the point where his friends
and doubtless himself believe he was
unbeatable in a no-decision bout.
Leonard's victory stamps him with
the unmistakable sign Of fighter, a
delicious recovery from the lethargy
the lightweight class has known for
80 long. Considering his victory over
the featherweight king, it is hard to
see where there is lightweight In
the ring worthy of a championship
match with Leonard.
Despite his defeat, Kilbane Is still
the featherweight champion. He was
fighting out of his class, above the
featherweight limit and his place
among the feathers IS mistaken.
Jimmy Dunn, his manager and friend
of long standing, tossed the towel
into the ring to save Johnny from
unnecessary punishment when he was
staggering blindly on his feet and as
good as out 1t was the first time
Dunn had ever been called upon to
come to the relief Of the feather
champion iEENeE

DRILL SQUAD
MEETS FRIDAY
Those Who are to Receive PreJimi.
nary Military Instruction to
Drill In keokuk EIec-
trio Club Room,

Inc first meeting of the drill SQUAD
formed here this week will be held
Friday evening at o'clock in the
heokuk Electric company club room
over the Offices at Eighth and Main
streets, and from present indications
a large number will enroll for pre-
liminary military instruction.
The Burlington Gazette thinks
highly of this plan to train the men
before they are called away, accord
ing to the following editorial taken
from that newspaper:
In keokuk, those who are
Drawn for the first national army
are not Sinking. They fully
appreciate the duty that con-
fronts them and have arranged
to be initiated into the intrica-
cies of military drill at the
earliest possible date.
When these men finally are
mobilized in the cantonments
they will not be raw rockies.
They will have acquired some
knowledge Of military life; will
+ be better prepared to take care
of themselves and will win rapid
promotion as non-commissioned
officers. This is one Of the best
suggestions that has been put
forth. In addition to preparing
the men for real service it Will
also have patriotic effect and
will be the means Of reconciline
many to the draft rules who
otherwise would be i2clined to
sulk.
The Keokuk plan should be
taken up in Burlington at once.
Those who were drafted or have
applied for admission to officers
training camps or anyone who cares
to take the military drill are invited
to attend.
