Water the horse frequently

Doctor McCampbell. "He
needs large quantities of water
and frequent watering will
overcome the dangers that re-

BOUT TO LEONARD
Kilbane Was Too Light for
New Lightweight Champion.
New York Ring Master Won
Fight in Third Round.

New York, July 26.-Benny Leon
ard, the worlds lightweight cham
pion, stands out today a glittering
figure, undoubtedly one of the greet
est champions his class ever saw. as
a result of his victory over Johnny
Kilbane, king of the featherweights,
in three rounds at Philadelphia.
No man, lightweight or feather
weight, has ever been given a higher
rating than Kilbane. Champion in
his own class, four times he has step
ped into a ring against another cham
pion and three times he has come of
victorious. The last time was We'd
nesday night, when he failed. In the
sum up, it was a repetition of an old
story-a good big man always can
beat a good little man; it was repe-
tition of the demonstration Kilbane
himself staged when he gave Kid Will
liams, then the bantamweight cham
pion, a beating.
Leonard's superior weight, his
superior punching 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
for Kilbane.
At Leonard's Mercy.
Kilbane, master of defense, a
merciless punisher when his title has
been threatened, was at the mercy of
the lightweight king. His ring gen.
eralship might as well have been left
at home; his defense might just as
well have been in Honolulu; his fists
were treated as if they had been a
babys blows. 1t was a tragedy for
Kilbane, for he had beaten Welsh
the former lightweight king, and had
reached the point where his friends
and himself believed he was unbeat-
able in a no-decision bout
Leonard's victory stamps him with
the unmistakable sign of a fighter, a
delicious recovery from the Iethargy
the lightweight class has known fol
so long. Considering his victory over
the featherweight king, it is hard tc
see where there is a lightweight now
in the ring worthy of a champion
ship match with Leonard.
KiIbane Holds Title.
Despite his defeat, Kilbane is still
the featherweight champion. He wa.
fighting out of his class, above the
featherweight limit and his place
among the feathers is mistaken
Jimmy Dunn, his manager, and 6
friend of long standing, tossed tn,
towel into the ring to save Johnny
| from unnecessary punishment wfler
he was staggering blindly to his fee
and as good as out. 1t was the frs
| time Dunn had ever been called upo1
to come to the relief of the feather
| champion.

Returning War ENJOYS See
Deadlock on West Front.
BY CARL d. GROAT.

Washington, July 26. - America
must give her all. if she would turn
the war fortunes in Europe
That is the solemn, emphatic mes
sage returning army officers bring
back here. They say that, as things
stand now, a deadlock $ the only
thing in sight on the west front. They
have reported to the war college that
the outlook is anything but optimistic
and privately they say that the Unit
ed States must awaken right now, I'M

as nearly hopeless.
With Germany calling out more men
for next spring, these officers say that
America must realize that the war
will be long and bitter and that mon
ey and men must be given unstinting-
Iy.
Should Not Deceive Itself.
Their reports of conditions gave
fresh impetus to the demand among
many army and navy officers for a
more aggressive naval policy than has
been in force.
I'VE must come to it sooner or la
ter" said one of the highest govern
ment officials. IF we do not, we can
look for the triumph of Ike U-boat
and no decision on the long west
front"
All authorities agree tina. it is I'M

otherwise than very serious or to I'M

ance of Germany in the field

Kansas Horse Interurban Made
$644.4S Last Year.

In ordering empty freight cars to
be moved promptly from one railroad
to another, regardless Of ownership,
the railroad managers of the country
have adopted a policy new to Ameri-
can railroad usage, and hope thereby
to solve the problem of rapidly mobil-
izing, in different sections of the coun-
try, the freight cars necessary to
handle the abnormal government and
commercial traffic that war conditions
have produced. according to state
ment made today by f. C. Cox, gem
eral manager of the Santa Fe railway
1.-THE plan was suggested by the
railroads war board at washington
Mr.. Fox explained. Reports TO the
war board from the car service COM
mission show that orders have Deen
given to SO separate railroads to snip
Immediately 1924 freight cars to "a
other railroads. These cars are being
moved without load, and in the quick
est possible time. The reports snow
further that $50 actually have been
received by the roads for whose bene-
fit this arbitrary movement is ordered
and that 51,795 cars have already
been delivered by the initial roads to
intermediate lines in the direction OF
ultimate destination"
Asked what the immediate result
of this redistribution of cars would De,
Mr. Fox said that in addition to &C
celebrating the lumber movement to
cantonment sites and ship building
yards it would assist materially in the
transportation of grain from the mid
die west to the east; faclhtate the
shipping of produce generally in the
west and of livestock.
The war board is made up. Of fve
abroad presidents, representing all
he railroads of the United States.
The board co-operates with the gov
srnment in taking care of the coun-
try's transportation needs during the
