BOXING
VALGER OUTPOINTS
CHAMP JOHNNY

NEW YORK. Feb. 26.-Johnny Kill
bane is still champion Of the feather
weights today. but his grip on the title
isn't as firm as II used to be. The clever
Clevelander stood up against Benny Val
ger, his foremost challenger. for eight
rounds at the Newark Specimens club
last night and came away with a smile
and a lot OF easy money. Nalger put
forth his bes: efforts to uncrown the
champion. The only way be could have
won the title was via the Knockout route.
He failed.
But Valger outpointed the titleholder.
His long left arm and his willing and
tricky right hand puzzled Kilbane. From
the tap of the first gong until the bout
ended Kilhane tried to form a defense
for the left jab that kept beating tattoo
Sainst his stomach, but could find none.
At times the champion would show a
fash of his cld-time self and hy into Val
ger with showers of blows. But he did
no harm. Valger blocked a majority Of
Kilbanes punches and won his shade
over the champ by using his LEFT to the
mdriff.
The boxing commission announced xii
banes weight as 1854 and Valger 8
l24&4. II was also announced that XII
bane collected q forfeit of $1,000 from
vaIger for being three fourths pound
overweight when they weighed in.

View of Scott Regarding
Margin Between Major
and Class A A Stars

After nine years experience in the
big show with the Chicago White Sox
and two years in the Coast league.
Pitcher Jim Scott should have
pretty good idea about the difference
in pitchers in the two classes of base
ball. He says:
Major league pitchers during the
season will average one pitched ball
per man better In control; runners
are all one step faster going TO first
base and make better use of the art of
sliding; out1elders take that same
extra step in going after fly balls
and also play their batters more re-
ligiously: infelders never fail to re-
cover fumbled balls quickly, IN at
tempts to make some play. They are
also more accurate in assisting the
outfelders In retrieving long hits.
LAS to pitchers, several in the Coast
league have considerably more ability
than the average In the majors. BY
that. I mean speed. curves, control,
fielding. etc. In Percy. Dell, Seaton.
Oldham and Brown. any big league
club would be we'll fortified in pitch
ers' talent. To my mind, Walter Mails
has more speed than any lefthander
in either the National or American
league today, and experienced batters
will bear me out"
