KILBANE BEATS
BRITISH BOXER
Champion Does Not Extend
Himself With Joey Fox
in Six Rounds

Philadelphia, July 29.-Johnny
Kilbane defeated Joe Fox in the
wind-up at the Philadelphia ball
park last night before a crowd that
tested the capacity of the big
stands. While Kilbane was entitled
to the decision. owing to the fact
that his blows were cleaner and
harder than the Englishman's, his
work was disappointing, and it APP
peared many times as If he was not
extending himself, and it would not
be at all surprising to learn a little
later on that Johnny and Fox had
been matched for n longer fight in
some other city. Kilbane had Fox
at his mercy in the second round,
when he made punching bag OF
the Britisher, but did not try to
knock him out, and those close to
the ringside expected that the end
would come in the next round, but
Johnny kept laughing all the time,
perhaps he was thinking of how
he was fooling those who had come
to see a knockout. One thing the
fight proved and that it is that Kill
bane is Just as foul a fighter when
he wants to be as Fox ever dared De,
for he did more fouling than Joe
after Fox had started 1t in the nrst
round.

Umpire Hank O'Day Has
Been Long In Baseball

Hank O'Day, one of the Ma
tional Leagues veteran umpires,
who was at the Polo Grounds
yesterday, has been identified
with the sport for more than thir-
ty years. Back in 1889 O'Day
pitched for the Giants, who won
the pennant and the worlds
championship that season. He
was sturdy right-hander and
took turn in the box with Tim
keefe, Mickey Welch and Ed
crane. O'Day also pitched for
the New York Players League
team In 1880, also for the Wash
lngtons and other big league out
fits.
AS a National League umpire
ODay figured in the memorable
game between the Giants and the
cubs at the Polo Grounds in 1908
in which he allowed the visitors
claim that Fred Merkle had fail
ed to touch second base. Six
years later Charles Webb Muir
ply, owner of the Cubs, sudden
ly released Johnny Evers from
the management and appointed
O'Day, who had had a previous
experience as leader of the Reds.
O'Day withdrew from the
Cubs management after one year
and returned to the National
Leagues umpire staff. He is do
ing excellent work in this capa-
city and is perfectly happy.

In the pinches. The sensational field
ing of Walter Smith of the Travel
ers was the one bright spot in the
evening session. The lively gard
ener caught long fly off Garverich's s
bat while down over the hill. There
were two Motive Power batsmen on
the sacks when Garverich smote the
ball. Smith started after it and
made brilliant catch just at the
moment the crowd thought the hit
good for a homer. Again, when Hip
pensteel hit to left Smith leaped for
the sphere and caught it with one
hand. But for an unfortunate error
of Lightner's the game might have
gone into extra innings. The Trav-
elers' center fielder threw hard to
catch runner at third, and the ball
went over Gerdes head.
Umpire Missing
The game was late in starting.
There was no umpire on hand, and
after much of a conference the play
ers agreed upon Earl Killinger to
Judge balls and strikes and Hoffman
to guard the sacks. Both did good
work. The interest in the game was
unusually tense and each play was

Word has just been received
from the other side that General
John j. Pershing tried his hand
as trapshooter. He was asked
to open the tournament at LIE
Mans by firing the first shot, and
he missed by an Irish mile. He
said that he would shoot all day
If necessary until he dropped one
of the clays, but he was lucky
enough to sink his second clay.
Any one who has tried to clip
the clays can realize that he was

Waite Hoyt Has Had
Unusual Baseball Career

Waite Hoyt, once the property
of the Giants, who has been pur-
chased by the Boston Red Sox
from the New Orleans Club, has
had a rather remarkable career
in baseball, for though he is now
only 10 years old he has had four
years experience in the profess
sional ranks. Hoyt was Is years
old and the star pitcher of Eras-
mus Hall High school in Brook
lyn in 1915 when he was picked
up by the Giants, and since that
time he has played in Memphis
Montreal, Nashville and Newark,
though the Giants always had a
string on him.
Last winter he was released to
Rochester in part payment for
Earl Smith, but refused to report.
This spring Arthur Irwin, des-
pairing of getting any service out
of the boy, traded him to New
Orleans for Jimmy Nixon, an
outfielder. Hoyt meanwhile had
gone to work in a Baltimore ship
yard and, pitching for the yard
team, hung up eighteen consecu-
tive victories. His performances
attracted the attention of the
Boston club, and when Hoyt shut
out the Cincinnati Reds a week
ago the Red Sox bought his re-
lease from New Orleans.
