Jimmy Dougherty, the well-known
boxing innpresario Of Philadelphia, is
staging the coming battle between
the champions, and he fnds himself
obliged to guarantee $4,000 TO the
boxers before they step into the ring.
When DouEherty signed up Kilbane
he agreed to give the Cleveland cham
pion $4,000, no matter how much
money came through the gates. To
get Leonard, he had to put up $4,000
of real, sure-enough, honest-to-good-
ness coin. Then he thought he was
through with guaranteeing. But
nothing like that
KIIbane Wants the Cola.
The day Kilbane's manager, Jimmy
Dunn, learned that the worlds light
weight titIeholder was due to collect
at least $4,000 more than Kilbane he
threw three fts inside of nve minutes,
rested, and then threw four more.
Within an hour he was on fast
train, bound for Philadelphia, first
sending a telegram promising all
kinds OF things unless Kilbane drew
down $4,000.
And so it was done. It took a little

BARRY IS WORRIED
AS CHAMPIONSGET
MANY GOOSE EGGS

It's an in-and-out pitching staff,
combined with an in-and-out inneld-
ing stan, that is causing the worries
OF Jack Barry in his first year as
manager of the Boston Red Sox.
Along in the first days OF the pres
emit season the worlds champions
didn't have a trouble to their glori-
Gus name. Now they have several
Since the season began the Red sox
have failed to score in twelve games,
and they all have been counted since
June 1. On this showing little crn
be said for the dueling shown by the
Red sox pitchers In the other con-
tests.
In the same length OF time, the Red
sox, starting with April IS, when
they calcimined the Athletics, have
eleven shut-outs to their credit, show
ing that the Red sox pitchers occa-
sionslly are there.
Cleveland has shut out the cham
pions on three separate occasions and
twice the thing happened on the Bos
ton ball lot. Four times the Tigers
have presented the Red Sox with a
row OF horse collars; twice st. Louis
has accomplished the stunt. Chicago
Washington, and New York have done
It once. On the other hand, the cham
pions have goose-egged the GrHfmen

Browns twice, and the Yankees and
Tigers once each.

was said and done.
Wednesday OF next week Kilbane
and Leonard, both champions, will
each collect $4,000 for six rounds OF
boxing. This is at a rate OF t333.S3
per minute.
Run Special Trains.
Special trains are being booked
from New York TO Philadelphia to ac-
commodate the boxing fans wishing
to see this great contest. At least
1000 New Workers are expected to
be on hand when the two champions
step into the squared circle.
From Baltimore and Washington
will go hundreds of night enthuaiasts,
though no special trains have yet
been announced.
Dick Curley, the matchmaker, says
there will be close TO a $40 900 gate
when Kilbane shakes hands with
Leonard and the battle gets under
way. This is one reason why Jimmy
Dougherty can afford to guarantee
