GEORGE CHANEY

Tenders Coming Opponent Says
Making Weight Caused
His Defeat

Baltimore. Nd, Sept. II. When
Johnny Kilbane. the worlds feather
weight champion, took his rap at George
Chaney yesterday he also aroused the
usually quiet George. CLANCY and Lew
Tender are due to clash in a siX-round
battle at 1873 pounds ringside at the Ma
tional a. A. in Philadelphia on the night
of September IS. The bout is billed as
a lightweight elimination contest and
kilbane said it could not be considered
such, as he holds a knockout decision
over CLANCY.
1t will be recalled that kibane stopped
CLANCY in three rounds at Cedar Point,
O.. on Labor Day. 1916. At that time
Chaney was forced to make the feather
weight limit and was far from himself
at that poundage. Just listen to George {:
"l'll grant that Kilbane knocked me
out but fighting at llSl3 pounds and at
1873 is much different. ! worried so
much over the weight question before
the fight with kilbane that | dropped TO
11Slp, three and one-half pounds below
the feathcrweght limit. | was weak and
far from myself kilbanc would hnd me

Chaney has met the best boys of his
weight in the world. but yet has to en-
gage IA southpaw, one of his own KIND

What's needed just now is for all of us to
show the Germans we are backing up our

Loan. How would our boys in France feel if
they heard that we at home had failed to back
them up?
Money VS.. Lives! There is no comparison.
We should buy every dollars worth of Liberty
Bonds we can.
We are not giving money away we are
simply loaning it to the United States. 1t
couldn't be safer, and we will get good interest.
Let's all buy some bonds and let our money
work for us and Uncle Sam at the same time.
Therefore, let us all realize that if Germany
should dictate the terms of peace, it would
