KIL6ANE- BROWN BOUT
 AN OPEN QUESTION

Does a knockout leave it's imprint on a boxer, or is it really possible to forget it. and continue on as though the career had not been blighted :: This is 2 question that has been ask cd often since Johnny KiIbane took the count before Benny Leonard, and it may be answered in Philadelphia or March 10th. when K1Ibane meets Frankie Brown. It Will be Kilbanes S first engagement since he met his first and only reverse in the game of padd- ed mittens
 Jimmy Dunn who looks after Eu- hane-the man who found and devel- oped the feather king-says Johnny never appeared better. He likes the boxing sport and his return has been engineered carefully and with modera- tion the keynote at every turn.
 In tacllling the Quaker City youth, Kilbane is not meeting Q crafty gen eral and hard puncher like Benny Leonard. But he is meeting ono Of those aggressive, hard working youngsters who has his heart set on wearing a f1stic crown some day. ful work against &ilbane. and there is no telling what might happen.
 Some eastern critics who saw Kil- bane go down before Leonard, aver that the 122 pound champion has g glass jaw. Dunn denies the charge. it is true, Kilbane will be in danger ous territory with Brown, for the Quaker City lad has an extensive rep utation for landing punches on the chin, and he max find Kiibane's chops without much trouble.
 Kilbane was not really and truly knocked out by Leonard. H. was sent to the canvas three times. and
 on the last occasion Dunn tossed q towel into the ring in token of defeat Leonard gets credit for 8 knockout of | the technical variety. kilbane was in | q wobbly condition when he went tC his corner.

DIAMOND LINGO FOR FRENCH FANS

Paris.-"On Jeu!" That's Play BaH" in French.
 "Regles de Baseball" an official guide to the American national game, has just been issued by Prof. F. R. Carpenter director of sports of the Foyers du Soldat, the American Y. M. c. A. for French soldiers, assisted by Franz Messerly. local enthusiast.
 The booklet will serve a double pur- pose. It will tell the Frenchman all he needs to know about baseball, in his own language, and it will teach the American in France what his French cousin means when he shouts at the umpire or the players. For the rules and explanations are printed in Eng fish also, parallel with the French text.
 When his Cmps, otherwise Parbiter is ready to start the game he gives voice to the expression quoted at the head Of this piece. Le Lanceur or Christie Mathewson takes his position at the placque de landeaur. and hurls une ballo in the direction of le batteur, who is lowering about la plaque du but, otherwise known as the home plate.
 A strike is uno frappe. a fair ball is valude or a faux, according to whether it alights within or without the foul lines and un bunt is just what the word indicates. The batsman hopes to become a coureur de bases or a base runner, in which case he will hear l'aide de camp on the coaching lines, bid him Slide, Kelly, slide" and an injunction whose French equivalent appears to have been omitted from this very interesting treatise.
 If le batteur slams the ball to the extra champs, or outfield. the hit may prove to be un coups a deux bases. If the sphere goes over the fence, the hitter scores a point but, which, as all French fans know, is home run.
 Prof, Carpenter nas just issued also two other interesting booklets, both in French One is the Regles Officielles de Voliey Mall. The other, Sports ct Recreations, containing brief descrip- tions of 16 games popular in America, was compiled with the CO., operation of Dr. George L. MeyIau of Columbia uni versity's physical department, who worked in the war zone as a Y. M. c. A. physical director.
