JOHN KILBANE STOPS
. RETIREMENT CHATTER

New York, Aug. 19.-Johnny Kilbane
the feather-weight champion, has
come out with a howl since Jimmy
Dunn announced he would not send
Kilbane into another fight.
My title is up there for any feather
weight to take a crack at" said Kill
bane. III meet all of the boys, just
the same as 1 always have"
Quietly promoters are working on
feather-weight mill to be the greatest
in that class since Kilbane met and
defeated Abe Attell. a place has been
found near New York, it is declared,
where aO-round bouts to a decision
may be fought and here they propose
to send Kilbane-probably against K.
o. Eggers, the sturdy New York
feather.
New Haven has been strongly urged
as the location for the fight and the
fact that it was in Connecticut that
Terry McGovern was first knocked out
by Young Corbett may or may not
mean something.
Boxing critics are of the firm belief
that Kilbane's next bout will be the
end of his career as a feather-weight
champion, for they point out that
once knocked out, a boxer rarely ever
comes back to real prominence. Kill
bane, while not totally knocked out
and not counted over in his meeting
with Benny Leonard, was stunned
and dazed when Jimmy Dunn Pitch
ed the towel into the ring.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Detroit. Mich. Aug. 19.-Washington
almost got run in the first inning.
After Milan had singled with two out,
Rice hit a tremendous liner to center
that would have been a triple if Cobb
lad not been playing in just the right
spot.
Ayers right hand was slightly in
jured by a hot drive from Neach in
the first inning, but he was able to
keep on working after throwing a
few balls to see that all his fingers
were with him.
Ainsmith got a lucky single % a
hit and run play in the second swing
ing on a ball on the outside OF me
plate with the bat held in one hand
and driving it to right.
Burns spikes cut Gharrity's jeans
when George slid back to first base in
the second inning and time was call
ed while Eddie patched himself up
with safety pin.
Bob Veach was the victim of a great
one-hand catch by Milan in the fifth.
1t was as sensational a play as has
been pulled here this season. Zeb got
the ball while on the dead run away
from the plate. Veach, who couldn't
believe that anyone could possibly
reach the drive, tore around to third
at full speed before anyone could
stop him.
Washington gave the Tigers an
awful mauling on their own lot this
season, winning seven OF the eleven
games played here. So far the Junga-
leers have taken five in eight on Grif-
fth's home pasture.
Both clubs put up a snappy mill
tary drill before the game under the
command Of the Washington clubs
sergeant.
Umpire Hildebrand may have
ignored the letter of the rules in re-
fusins to call Burns out. for Cobb's
laying on Of hands, but he used COM
mon sense. Detroit was entitled to the
run, except on a base technicality.

SECRETARY BAKER
NDORSES ATHLETICS
War Department Head Says Uncle
Sam Will Aid A. A. u. Meet.

New York. Aug. 19-Further in
dorsement of competitive athletics
by Secretary of War Baker was
announced yesterday by V. r. C.
Lacey. of St. Louis, chairman of
the registration committee of the
Western Association, A. A. U. Mr.
Lacey. who has been touring the
East in the interest of the Amateur
Athletic Union track and field cham
pionships to be held at st. Louis
at the end of the month, arrived
here from Washington this after
noon.
He stated that in a conversation
with Secretary Baker relative to
sport, the latter said that he was
in favor of athletics and indorsed
the holding of the A. a. u. cham
pionship games this season as usual.
A request for furloughs for a num-
ber of athletes now serving with
the army. in order that they might
compete at st. Louis, was referred
to Adjutant Gen. Mccain.
The A. a. u. official was inform
ed by Adjutant Gen. Mccain that
while it would be impossible to issue
general order granting furloughs
to athletes now in the service. leave
of absence might be granted in
special cases.
He advised Chairman Lacey to in
form athletes in the service to make
individual application for furlouhs
and that he would consider the fact
that they were to participate in
the championships as sufficient reason
for granting the same. should such
applications not interfere with other
orders. such as the movements of
the unit to which the applicants
belong.

lans Mscue Paues the Way for Tigers to Trim Nation
PLANK'S RETIREMENT
LEAVES BUT 2 Vets
Bender and Ames Are Only Old
Timers in List of League
Hurlers.

New York, Aug. 19-With Eddie
Plank on the retired list for keeps
there are but two veteran slabmen re-
naming in the big show today who
rank close to him in point of ser
vice. They<are Chief Bender, now
with the Phillies, and Leon Ames,
of the Cardinals.
Plank's retirement marked finis to
career of nearly II years as a ma
jor league pitcher. He broke into the
majors in 1901. and in all the years
he has toiled on the mound his
reputation for consistency and ef-
fectiveness never wavered until this
season, when the strain of pitching
caused him to suffer a nervous break
down.
Chief Bender made his debut as
big league twirler in 1903. Ames fol-
lowed in 1904, and both have played
with big league teams continuously,
Jack Coombs, a former teammate of
both Plank and Bender, is serving
his twelfth year. and Walter John
son is in his eleventh season with
Washington.
Always effective during a summers
campaign, a peculiar feature of
Plank's record lies in his failure as
a worlds series pitcher. He took an
active part in four worlds series,
pitching seven games. and of this
number he won but two. Plank will
be A. years old August 81, and his
forced retirement is probably a
great disappointment to him. as he
was ambitious to pitch until he
reached the age of 45.
