LEONARD And KILBANE.
| READY FOR Big BOUT.
Lightweight and Feather-weishi
Champs Trained for Battle.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 2L-Trained
| to the hour and ready for their bat
tie, in which the lightweight cham
pionship Of the world will be at stake,
Benny Leonard and Johnny Kilbane
today completed their work of prep
aration and are ready for the gong
to call them into the open-air arena
at Shibe Park tomorrow night.
No match in many months has at
tracted as much attention as has the
Leonard ilbane contest, and It is
assured that a record-brealxing crowd
will be on hand to see the little bat
tiers contest for supremacy. It will
be the first fight in many years in
which both contestants are titlehold-
ers. Kilbane has long been the rec
ognized featherweight champion, while
Leonard is the present holder OF the
lightweight crown by virtue of his
recent victory over Freddie Welsh.
With so much at stake 1t Is APP
parent that both fighters will do their
best to win. Leonard Is bound to do
his utmost to retain the coveted title
which he has not yet possessed long
enough to reap from 1t the harvest
of dollars that always comes to the
champion. On the other hand, Kill
bane will battle with all the skill and
aggressiveness at his command in the
hope that he will be able to hand
Leonard the K. o. punch, which
would make him two-time cham
pion. With both the lightweight and
featherweight titles in his possession
| II Ia figured Kilbane would become
the greatest drawing card in the ranks
of American pugilism. -

ANSON NICKNAMED
THE PITTSBURGH CLUB

Did you ever know how the Pitts
burgh club came by the name of
Pirates? Well, here is the informa-
ton 'as impaired by a Smoky City
baseball writer:
"OP Cap" Arson gave to the Pitts
burgh club the nickname Of Pirates.
And he was a furious and peeved
person the day he did 1t! Until 1890
the Pittsburgh club was known as
the "AlIeghenies." That was the
year that 1t had one of the worst
teams in its history-and Chicago,
captained and managed by Anson,
one of the best. The season was
nearing its close. Chicago was rae
ing into the stretch with Brooklyn.
Chicago had a ive-game series sched-
uled with the AIleghenies, who were
playing $50 baseball at that time.
Here's where We cinch the bunt-
ing" exclaimed cap" jubilantly.
The series began, whereupon the Al
Ieghenies, to the establishment Of the
baseball world. won every one of
those five games, and beat Chicago
out Of the pennant, causing Arson to
roar:
They're pirates-that's what they
are-d- pirates.
The newspapers printed the yowl
of Cap" and from that day on the
AIleghenies became known as the
Pirates.

CHAMPIONSHIP MEET

New York, July 2.-The champion
ship committee of the Metropolitan
Association OF the Amateur Athletic
Union will hold a meeting this even
ing to decide whether to hold its an
nual track and field sports as the
championships or as a patriotic dem
onstration, This indecision on the
part of the local body is in direct
contrast to the recent action of the
national championship committee of
the A. A. u. in announcing that all
Of its championship meetings would
be held.
More than usual Importance Is at
tached to the local association
games this year, for it is intended
to select a team made up of winners
in the various events. to represent
this section of the country in the ma
tional championship games. which are
to be held in st. Louis on August 81
and September / and 3.
With the announcement of the meet
ing for this evening comes the news
that the Irish-American A. c., which
since the declaration of war by this
country has been out of athletic COM
petitions, has decided to resume par
ticipation in track and field sports.
Celtic Park has been offered for the
metropolitan championships on Au-
gust Is.

BALL CLUB WINS SO
CONSECUTIVE GAMES

Ninety-three consecutive baseball
victories! It's quite a record-a record
that Is likely to stand for some time
to come even in the amateur ranks.
The Oakland Rebels, an amateur
team Of Pittsburgh, have won nine
teen straight games this season, and
in the last three seasons have won a
total of ninety-three games without
being defeated.
The modern record in professional
baseball for consecutive games won
was established by the Giants last
year. when the New York club won
twenty-six before it was defeated.
In 1863 the old Cincinnati Reds went
through the season without being
defeated. winning eighty-one games.
No record has ever been kept for
consecutive victories in amateur base
ball. but II is reasonable to assume
that the Oakland Rebels have as good
a claim to a record as any.

CLUBS NAME DATE
FOR CANOE REGATTA

At a meeting of representatives
from the various local canoe and
boat clubs. held at the Washington
Canoe Club, it was decided to have
the second annual Associated Conoe-
lists Regatta on Aug. 4. Up to this
time the committee has not felt dis
posed to take definite action on ac-
count Of the Federal draft.
Owing to the fact that several of
the racing men have been conscripted
and are expecting early call, the COM
mittee set the earliest date possible.
The notice is short, but every man
can get into condition in that time
and as this will be the last open re-
gatta of the season, a large entry
list is expected.
The following clubs have already
offered subscriptions and will enter
Canoe Association.
Washington Canoe Club, Potomac
Boat Club, Sycamore Canoe Club and
Colonial Canoe Club, while entries are
expected from Arundle Boat Club,
Maryland Swimming Club and Ariel
Boat Clubs, of Baltimore, and from
several camps and boat houses on the
