AS appears from the table, France.
Italy. Russia and Belgium were self
supporting, while the United Kingdom
drew its entire sugar supply from ex-
terror sources. The supply of the Unit
ed Kingdom came to the amount of
about 40 per cent from countries from
which it is now cut off by the war.
Ten per cent came from the East In
dies and 20 per cent from the United
States and the West Indies.
The prospective 1913 crop in France
has diminished to 2O7,O00 tons and
that of Italy TO 75.0o0 tons, and they
are therefore short $4,000 tons. The
displacement of United Kingdom sup
plies amounts to 1.435,OO0 tons; and
therefore. in total, these three allied
countries must import about 100000
tons in order to maintain their normal
consumption. OF this, 100000 tons
must come from new sources.

DRAFTED CUB HURLER
LOOKS LIKE REGULAR

Walter H Dutch" Reuther,
drafted from the Spokane, Wash,
club by the Cubs last fall. looks like
the goods. and is likely to stick.
AS a pitcher in the Northwestern
league last season, Reuther won l.
games and lost four. and felded his
position with but one error against
him all summer, which is going
some.
When the Dutchman wasn't pitch
ing for Spokane he kept in the line
up. playing either first base or the
outfeId. and in los games he slam
med the pill around for an average
Of .297. His fielding at first base net
ted him an average of .979. while as
an outielder he fielded .9S3.
Ability as a utility player makes
Reuther a valuable asset. He can
play the outtield any time. and would
rather keep in the game every day.
His pitching has been strong so far.
and when il is considered that ne is
only yOungster. and does not know
the National league. there is only
one answer-he has class.
Fred Mitchell said when he took
hold of the cubs that he intended
developing some young players. In
Reuther he has a diamond in the
rough. a player worth holding on TO,
even though he may need a little
more seasoning in the minors.

K|LBANE TOPS
TWO DIVISIONS
UndiSputed King of Feather
weights Has Also Best
ed LightWeightS.
BY Jack Nciock.

NEW YORK. May 16.-Better by
far that the lightweight champion
and king Of all he surveys in the
featherweight division. Johnny Kill
bane. stands out today supremely
alone among the little fellows Of the
ring.
He is in a class distinctly by him
self. and by rights he should be
wearing two pugilistic crowns. That
honor has been denied him because
OF the unjust laws which have put
the curse on decision bouts. The vic
tory scored by Kilbane over Freddie
Welsh was too clean cut, too de-
cisive. 10 leave the shadow of a
doubt regarding his class.
And that victory brought out
strongly the injustice of no-decisiOn
boxing laws, for had Referee Billy
job been permitted TO render a de-
cision the lightweight crown would
be where it belongs today-adorning
the curly brow Of the little Cleve-
lander
Because of the law Welsh is still
wearing the 133-pOund skypiece and,
all arguments in favor of no-decision
bouts TO the contrary, they are a
curse to boxing and an injustice TO
both boxers and the patrons of the
game.
No-decisiOn laws keep champion
ships from changing hands when
they should do so rightfully: And
they permit champions to hide and
stall when they would have to fight
under conditions permitting a de-
cisiOn. The boxing game without de-
cisions is much like ship without a
rudder-it is merely drifting along
and may hit a shoal any old time.
Not since the days Of Joe Cans.
Young Critic and Abe Attell-when
he was prime-has a boxer of Kill
bane's class sprung up. And in the
opinion of many old time boxing
fans in New York. Kilbane is even
better than the cleverest boys of the
old days. The only question is his
punch, but in all other respects he is
a marvellous boxer.
New Workers thought Freddie
Welsh was fast until they saw Kill
bane against him. Then Freddie
looked about as fast as a tombstone.
The pace set by Kilbane dazzled
Welsh. He was bewildered and des-
perate, and yet Kilbane could have
fought even faster than he did. He
simply toyed with Welsh, and the
pity of it is that he did not knock
the Welshman out. In a longer bout
a knockout, with Kilbane delivering
the wallop. would be practically in
evitable.
There is only one boxer in the
business now who really has the
right to demand a match with Kill
bane-unless he is signed with
Welsh for a return match-and that
boxer is Benny Leonard. That Leon
ard is fast and clever enough TO beat
Kilbane is very. very doubtful. But
he has a punch and his perform
ances entitIe him 10 some consider
alton.
A Leonard Kilbane bout would be
worth going miles to see, for Leon
ard would fght-there is no question
OF that-and in this way he would
bring out the best there is in the
featherweight champion.
Let's have that match.
