c INCE the featherweight champion 0 Johnny KiIbane in his first bout

O Johnny Kilbane in his first bout since re-entering the ring had Q mar row escape from being knocked out by Frankie Brown. he has had no trouble getting all the matches he can attend to. Practically every box CT in the country who can weigh in under 130 pounds is hot on the traII of the supposedly tOttering champion for a match for the title.
 The latest to enter the lists of con- tenders for Kilbane's title Is Benny ValEar Whether the latter is really Of championship calibre Is matter oH doubt but he will probably get the first chance when KiIbane gets ready to risk his title.

ID ASEBALL is bound to take a O boom in this section. The attend ance figures at the opening games in the major leagues proved this con- clusiveIy. While bad weather, rain and cold, has cut in some on the schedule. the attendance at all games played have been most encoura ging.
 What has happened in the majors Is expected to happen in the Eastern League. Practically every club on the circuit will be stronger than It was a year ago. With men of money men who are not afraid to spend the money-interested in the clubs, some nifty ball should be offered.
 The entry of George Weiss into the Eastern League Is a. boost for that circuit and demonstrative of the capability of the President of that organization. It was Dan O'Neil who first "discovered" Weiss, who for years has been promoting semi-pro baseball in the Elm City. By taking over Weiss into the league the E. L. is assured of another Sunday town Unlike past years there will be no opposition, for in all probability the Sabbath games will be played at the Lighthouse. which in years gone by was used by the semi-pro conting- ents.

\ DENNY KILBANE, however, is no O longer technically considered within his class, as he is overw eight. Johnny Mahoney, who fought Xiii bane recently at Philadelphia, was not forced to make 122 pounds ring side, which is sufficient proof that Killy weighs more than that himself

JOHNNY Mooney, who until last uJ Summer when he enlisted In the navy wrote boxing on the old Boston Journal, Is now g full-biooded Phil adelphian. Johnny, according to in- formation on hand, is now managing Josy Fox, the English festherweight champion who is doing such wonder ful work in the Quaker clubs.
 Johnny is g quiet sort of chap, but apparently he has found that man aging a good pugilist is far more profitable than grinding out boxing dope for public consuTnmation- Any way, John has struck it lucky for in Fox he has a. wonderfully clever boy who has won his last i've starts over such boys as Young Robideau of Philadelphia, Do Puisiana, also of the Quaker town; Artie Root, and Joe Tiplitz and has been virtually matched to swap punches with Johnny Kilbane at one of the Phil 1y clubs.
 That Kilbane himself is more than interested in this lads method of scrapping was evinced last Monday when he was among the interested spectators at the ringside of the Fox Root bout All of which indicates that the champ is set upon knowing what sort of battler he is meeting before consenting to any match.

BY ROGER TERRI

F REDDIE Sears, former handler H of boxers who is now in town ahead of the Burlesque Review which opens at the Park next Thurs day afternoon, has the right idea about matchmaking. Sears says the greatest wrong a boxing promoter can commit to himself and the sport in general is to arrange a dazzling all star card for the opening show, a card that can't be equalled or bet tered at tournaments that are to fol- low;
 This is the way Fred put 1t to me che other day;
 'I see where Dick Curley has as- stunned the mRtchn1akershlp of the new m{llion-dollar club In Montreal and a1so noticed in the Times Farmer that he Is planning on put ting ca an an-star card in which Jack Britton Benny Leonard and several other good boys will be fea- tured. Such a card will no Gou oJ induce the fans to attend the open ing show.
 Dick Is enthusiastic and wants to see that the club gets a good send off but then tho question arises. By furnishing an unbeatable champion ship card at the opening show Is Cur ley doing himself the club and the fans iustice2
 T will venture to say that he will do more harm than good-hsru tC himself and the club. By putting or such a splendid show he will be es- tablishing a standard that he vii find impossible to keep up with. The fans having been treated to such a splendid card at the opening show will naturally expect as good a show at the following meetings. This Cur ley will be impossible to furnish, fo1 where Is there the club that will be so foolish as to want to put on two champions wAak in and week 'Out?'
 All of which proves cOnclusively that Fred is as good a boxing Inn persario as he is snowman,

" HERE are candidates galore for
 the refereeship of the Jess WiIIard-Jack Dempsey championship bout. Among those whose names have been presented are Billy Ro- cap, the Philadelphia writer and ar bitter, and Jack Skelly, former pug and now a writer on boxing topcs for Yonkers. N. Y, newspaper. Be tween these two the referee Tor the big battle will be selected.
 Those who are in a position to know contend that Tex RIckard rather favors the selection of Recap. The latter Is an experienced. honest straightforward and competent off cial, who was second choice to the now famous Jack Johnson-Jim Jef- fries bout at Reno Rickard, how ever, took it upon his own shoulders to referee this battle. Skelly has the support of many of Tex's friends and the New York writers. Either one however, could make & good job o1 it.

It was so sold in ?hilly that only 200 incurabIe fans ventured to shiver through the ceremony of squeIching the New York candidates for the pennant. The players were blue nosed in the northwest gale and fingers were benumbed in the frosty air It may have been that the win try blasts were responsible for the failure of the Giants to bat the pitch ing of Mule Watson in a way to as sure more than three runs.
