MI Johnny Kilbsne surprised
i = many of the critics and boxing
fans when he received the newspaper
decision over Freddy Welsh, light
weight champion of the world, in their
ten round contest in New York city
last week. Some OF the writers have
intimated that Kilbane who is
featherweight champion of the world,
should also be entitled to the light
weight championship While Johnny
is one Of the greatest little battlers
this country has produced since the
days of Abe Attell. and full credit
should be given him for his splendid
showing against the lightweight
champion, still he has no right to
make any claim 10 the title.
In the first place # was n no

Heavyweight Champion Is
Not Making a Hit in
the East.

Jess Willard is without doubt the
most unpopular figure who has ever
worn the heavyweight crown Inac-
ton has been a big factor in keeping
Willard from becoming highly popu-
lar. but it appears that his personal
ity has something TO do with il, too.
To meet Big Jess is TO wonder why
he is not very popular. because he is
a big, frank fellow, with a kindly
smile and a friendly word for every
body. But. with it all, Jess has
passed up many an opportunity 70

trick was pulled in New York several
