KILBANE MAY LOSE
FEATHER TITLE IN
HIS COMING FIGHT

Philadelphia, July 24-Johnny
Kilbane, featherweight champion,
may lose his title next Monday
night to Joey Fox, the claimant of
the British featherweight title, but
he will enter the ring with all the
benefits of catchweights. He de-
clined to face the Britisher under
any other conditions. Therefore, if
Fox weighs in at 122 pounds at
o'clock before reputable witnesses
and succeeds in knocking out Kill
bane he will be recognized as the
champion. The two IFS" however,
may prevent change in the title.
I'VE offered to weigh in at either
126 pounds at 2 o'clock, the British
limit" explains Johnny Mooney,
manager of Fox, ''or at 122 pounds
at 3 o'clock, the American limit.
Kilbane declined to make either
weight, insisting on catchweights.
So we gave in. Fox will weigh in
at 122 pounds at o'clock in order
to claim the worlds championship
in case he knocks out Kilbane"
Fox says he won the British
title after Curley
Walker, Of London, grew out of the
class. He says he knocked out
Jim Barry, of New Castle, in IS
rounds in 1915; got a decision in
20 rounds over Tommy Harrison
of Hanley, and then knocked out
Young Simsons of Plymouth, in Is
Following these victories
the national sporting club pre-
scented him with its belt, which
Walker had to relinquish. The belt
is now in England in the care of
Fox's English manager

EX-TWIRLER FOR
PLOWS HAS WHAT
THEY CAN'T HIT

stuff they can't hit'-that's
what Lefty Sullivan carries in his
slab repertory, and now Lefty is
back with the White Sox for a
fresh trial and thousands of his
friends are pulling for him to make
good in fast company.
He's a former doughboy from
Camp Grant who saw service over
seas.
Most discussed rookie at Mineral
Wells" would have described Lefty's
career at the Sox training camp.
Still he was turned back to the
semipros by Gleason, supposed to
be an eagle eyed sleuth in digging
diamonds from the rough.
Sullivan has one bad fault which
he admits freely. He is possessor
of so much stuff to his delivery that
it is almost unhittable. but Lefty
can't field for sour apples That
is. he couldn't when he started his
career with Billy Niesen's Gunth,,
ers after being given the hook by
Gleason. If he has overcome his
fault even in small degree, Lefty
should be a whale of a hurler for
Comiskey.
Scouts from several big league
clubs watched Lefty NOW 'em down
at >Gunther park and other semipro
grounds in Chicago, and tried to
sign this former doughboy. They
all bumped into a snag at the start
of their maneuvers. Charles A.
Comiskey had signed Sullivan last
winter and held him under the re-
serve clause of organized baseball.
If Sullivan makes good in the Sc
lect circle he will solve the biggest
problem Gleason has had this sea-
son. The lambasting received by
Dave Danforth in recent appearance
made Gleason turn to the boy they
couldn't hit at Mineral Wells.

NEGRO BOXERS TO
FIGHT FOR TITLE

Chicago, July PA negro pro-
moter at Tulsa, Okla, is going to
promote a boxing match for the
worlds negro heavyweight cham
pionship, with the idea in mind
that creating such a person will
compel Jack Dempsey to step out
and fight the demon who reaches
the pinnacle among his kind.
Bill McClain is the enterprising
Oklahoma party who is behind this
scheme and he has signed two of
the greatest negro heavies in the
business to fight it out for the lau-
rels before his Palm Garden A. C.
on Aug. 4 next.
Samuel Langford, now of Chi
cago, and JacR Thompson, the Phil
adelphia slugger, have been chos-
en- to participate in the first fight
for the negro crown, and the
Tulsa club has purchased a dia-
mond-studded belt worth $500
that will go to the winner thereof.
Harry Wills, the sturdy panther
from the east, and John Artha
Johnson, now basking in Mexico,
may object to Promoter McClain
Calling d SdSuSTluS DSlH cen 14duS-
ford and Thompson a champion
ship affair, but the victor at Tulsa
will get the belt, and then it will
be up to Harry and Jack to take it
away from him, if they are able.
Johnson, it is rumored, is figur-
ing on coming back to the United
States before long and serving a
Jail sentence if necessary. After
he is freed he will be able to box
once more, and it evidently is his
present ambition to convince the
public that he still is some shucks
as a fighter.
In the meantime Tulsa is prepar-
ing for the struggle between Lang
ford and Thompson. An arena
seating 5000 people, will be erect
ed and the promoter writes that
the fight surely will be seIl-out.
That is pleasant news for Sam and
Jack, who love to jingle the silver
in their jeans.
So important is the fight consid-
cred down in Oklahoma that mo-
ton pictures will be taken of the
negro warriors in action during
the fight and in their training
camps. Life stories of the ring
foes will be written and screened.

WILDE PLANNING
TO CROSS WATER

London, July 24.-Jimmy Wilde,
the British flyweight marvel, wants
to go to the United States and
make a cleanup" of dollars.
Therefore, it is not likely that Pal
Moore and the little champion will
meet here again soon, although Nate
Lewis, manager of Moore, has
asked for the match and received
the sanction of Promoter C. B.
Cochran, who staged the recent
bout between the boys.
Lewis offered to contribute $4,000
to a charitable institution if Wilde
would consent to another match, and
Cochran seized on the opportunitl
of bringing them together again,
but Wilde is holding out. Cochran
is still dickering with Wilde.
Walter Ross, the British bantam
champion, has been matched with
Moore, Lewis announced last night.
They will battle within the next
three weeks for side bet of $4,000.
Cochran announced that total re-
ceipts for the Wilde-Moore bout
amounted to $500.
Wilde's proposed trip to the
United States does not include the
possibility of meeting Pete Herman,
worlds bantamweight champion,
because he holds Herman cannot
mall 116 pounds ringside.
The proposed match between
Jack Dempsey and the winner of the
Carpentier-Beckett bout is still
hanging fire. Cochran said he has
obtained signatures of Carpenter
and Beckett, but that Dempsey has
not definitely made an answer
Cochran's American agent is said
to have deposited $4,000 in New
York to be transferred to Demp-
sey when he signs articles.
Cochran said yesterday he had
received word from the United
States that the deal for Dempsey
was nearing completion. II
matched Dempsey would make his
appearance in England in the fam
GUS Olympia Hall, which can seat
80, 900 persons.
Admission prices would range
from S. to SIPS.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD
CUBS CRAB BOTH
OF DOUBLE BILL
WITH BROOKLYN
Robins Unable TO Score I'm Twenty
Innings Against Pitching Of
Alexander and Douglas.

New York, July 24.-Prodigal
use Of gasoline on Mr.. Ebbets' bah
yard enabled the Cubs to wind up
their eastern trip yesterday against
the Robins, who were unable to
score a run in 20 innings of Alex
ander and Douglas. Scores, 30,
and 60.
Alex the Great pitched the first
game and proved his greatness for
IL innings before his pals could
give him the only run he needed to
be returned victor. Charles Deal
was the Cub who came to the res
cue of Alex with a two-base knock
when the bags were full and two
out in the first half of the eleventh.
Douglas had an easier time in
the after-piece because the Cubs
slammed Grimes stuff so hard he
had to be relieved in the seventh
spasm with sou tallies nicked off
him. Up to the ninth round Mr..
Phil choked the Robins down to
three scattered bingles and the
other two safe blows off him did
not arrive until two were gone in
the last half round.
In spite of the conversion
many gallons of gasoline into its
primitive elements only the skinned
part of the field was dry. The rest
of it was slippery and the Robins
skidded in ludricrous fashion al.
through both games.
Boss Mitchell guessed what the
conditions would be and apparent
~ provided the Cabs with invisible
chains for their wheels, as they
negotiated the treacherous going
without a slip and played great
baseball in all except one of the
extra rounds of the first game.
That inning was the tenth and
skull play by Mann and Magee
came near proving fatal to Alexan-
der. They let a soft fly drop be-
tween them for a two base hit to
the credit of Zach Wheat, and only
sterling work kept the Robins from
converting the accident into a tr1-
umph.
The way Al Mamaux and Alex
ander were slabbing in that open
ing fray it was a cinch neither
would lose without tough break.
In nine innings the Robins made
only three safe hits and the Cubs
could negotiate only four. In that
time one Cub reached third base.
Not a home player got that far ant
only one of them was able to get
to second. That's how good Alex
was. Score:

TO ORGANIZE AN
ASSOCIATION OF
SPORT OFFICIALS

Football and basketball officials
of central Illinois will form an as
ISOLATION or fraternity in Bloom
ingtOn during the first week in
September, or previous to the
opening football games of the sea-
son. The majority of men who will
become members of the association
will also serve as gridiron officials.
Better Conditions.
The organization to be formed
is for the purpose of lettering the
working conditions of the officials
and to promote clean sports of all
kinds. Bloomington and Normal,
with two universities and an
abundance of official talent, will be
able to give competent officials to
any university or school in the
country.
Practically all coaches Of Bloom
ington schools served as officials
last year, as we'll as others who
were engaged IN other occupations,
due to the shortage Of mentors and
extra ring men, due to the war.
The coming seasons provide liberal
schedules in the majority of mid
die west educational centers for
their athletes and officials will be
in demand.
Coaches to Attend.
In all there are about fifteen men
IN Bloomington, counting those re-
turned from army o. naval service,
who have served as officials and
who will continue to do so. Other
competent and efficient handlers of
the whistle will be invited to at
tend the Bloomington gathering,
which probably viii be held in the
Hills hotel.
The Little Nineteen conference
coaches comprise the greater num-
her of officials who will attend,
while others are graduates or for
mer athletes OF institutions COM
prfsfng that athletic association.
