In Fact. They Haze Been Doing 1t Erer Since the

about Sunday golf there. and while I

day golf is permitted there.
Yes. They Play Sunday Golf
The amusing side of this argument
pro and con over Sunday sports in Fair
mount Park is that for nearly three
years hundreds of men and women. boys
and girls have been playing golf there on
the Sabbath. On one Sunday two years
ago the, surprising number of Aft
think that is the number-played over
our municipal course. The average
number Of players every Sunday from
the middle of April till the last of No
vember is somewhere around 300 and
in most eases it is more.
SO it is remarkable at this day to
protest against the opening of Fair
mount Park to tennis. baseball and
croquet. when for nearly three years
an average of at least 800 persons have

to clean up before he thinks of meet
ing with Tender. There are many good
featherweights and even one bantam
that doubtless will be fought before the
Tender match is clinched.
There is Benny Valger and Joey Fox
clamoring for a chance for the feather
weight title, while even Pete Herman
wants to go out of his class and engage
Johnny.
But if Pete wants to meet Johnny
there will be no weight making on the
part of Kilbane. If the boys should
happen to come in at catch weights
there wouldn't be many ounces sep
aratiDg them. Kilbane is small
featherweight and Herman large

Jawn KiIbane. the celebrated holder
of the featherweight title. distressed be-
because many insist he is light
weight, had just finished his work at
Jack O'Brien's gymnasium yesterday
afternoon and touched the beam under
125 pounds. Then he proceeded to tell
the talent nearby that in the future all
battles would be at catch as catch

Johnny is no stranger here. This will
be only his fourth appearance here in

been an improvement over the other.
He plans to make thorough job of his
task tonight.
Watches Tender
Kilbane had his fist chance to see
Lew Tender in action. The raugy
southpaw was boxing vigorously with
Harry kid Brown in the gym yester-
day. Kilbane was there unnoticed.
When Lew completed his work the
champion walked over to compliment
Lew upon his finished ring work.
'"rhe boy looks like a wonder" said
Kilbane. With that awkward style and
his known hitting powers look for him
to cause much trouble among the reg
ular lightweights. He will be up
against the same handicap was for
number of seasons-forced to con
cede plenty of weight. Lew is a light
boy, but once he fills out know he
will be sensation among the light :
