WHY k|LBANE IS NOT
POPULAR IN THE EAST
Bv ii. e. HAMILTON.

limited Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. March - A short
I time ago johnny kilbane came east
to fight He was matched with a
young lightweight before a Syracuse,
n y, club and he agreed TO allow
this man 10 enter the ring Weighing
Ia3 pounds. but when it came weigh
ing time and the yenng opponent OF
the featherweight champion hoped
on the scales weighing l37 pounds
Kilbane refused to fight.
The crowd went wild when it got
this news and young riot was III
progress in a very short time. The
club officials waxed indignant. In
fact, everyone had a brick and he
aimed al Kilhane's head
A few days later a well known
fight fan came out with the state
ment that Kilbape had gone wrong
in his declaration not to meet q man
who weighed almost ten pounds
more than himself
ANY man. he said. feather
weight or no featherweight, who
challenges Freddie Welsh for the
world's lightweight title and agrees
to let the champion come into the
ring weighing 135 pounds should
not be afraid TO meet a comparative
" unknown man who weighs 137
pounds"
Now this fight fan mar have been
at the ringgide during the should
have been Syracuse fight, and he
may not II he WAS, there was an
excuse for his complaint. although it
was a lame one. But 1t is a certain
IL that he didn't take into consider
ation the fact that this youth may
have been a very hard hitter, one
capable Of putting over the sleep
walaop on Kilbane's chin. Welsh, as
is well known long ago lost the habit
Of knocking ont his opponents. he
never even bruises most Of the men
he meets.
Whether Kilbane was right or
wrong, it is brass riveted cinch
that he did the best thiag to protect
what little reputation Il left him in
a New York ring. Criticisms of the
kind the fight fan made are the
very things which have discounted
Kiibana's ability here. Whenever
New York gets to the point Of az
eepting Kiibane at his real worth,
which is almost his weight in gold,
ii will see some good fights-some-
thing it does not see when Freddie
Welsh and some OF the other high
priced lads get into action.
