Kilbane Raps { Ring Critics;
 Talks to Fans


 Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham pion of the world, rises to remark that he never breaks into print only when he has something to tell the fans, and on this occasion he wants to tell the mitt followers that the bunk spread about him being too heavy for the 1922 pound class has been offered an un- specting public for the purpose of in- turing his reputation
 Johnny maintains he can still ne gotiate the stipulated poundage at which he tok the crown from Abe At tell and that all aspiring feathers had better be prepared to meet that condi tion if they desire a chance at the headgear that has made the Clevendel independently wealthy
 Tn rumors that Kilbane was out growing his class were Originated after his recent fight with Benny valger, the French lad. At that time Kilbane forced Valger to do 124 pounds, while the champion came in at 126.
 T am sick and tired of hearing these stories about my weight" said the champion. Some of the eastern critics say I never train and that I spend my time riding Around in my automobile They charge the training stuff is growing tiresome to me as it was sup posed to have done with some of the champions of yesterday but such is not the case.

French Are To
 Enter Tennis Match In U. s.
By A,,o,Iated pr,.


 New York, April S.-Added importance was given the Davis international tennis matches next summer with receipt o. word here today that late entries may be made by France as we'll as Canada.
 This information was received by the United States Lawn Tennis Association in a cable from the secretary of the French organization. requesting support of the American body in application foi reopening of the entries.
 The entry list closed March 1. with the United States, England, South Africa and Belgium as the contesting nations Latei Canada requested the consent of these four entrants for permission to compete The American association cabed such consent to Australia, holder of the tro- phy, but nothing further was heard in regard to the matter
 Similar action was taken on the French application, when France. Canada and Australia were notified that America had nc objection to 9 reopening of the entry list and admittance of any challengers
 It is considered pl obable here that Eng land, Belgium and South Africa will take the same attitude. This would necessi- tate redraw for preliminary rounds. the majority of which will probably be played in England. These preliminary rounds are expected to follow the English cham pionships at Wimbledon in June. when the United States will be represented by a strong team.

Nine Winner Over
 Howard, 8-4

Pounding the offerings of the Howard College pitchers to all corners of the lot, the University of Illinois baseball team yesterday afternoon triumphed over the local nine, s to 4. The Illinois players collected thirteen hits off King and Mat thews.
 Heikes pitched a good game for H. linois, allowing but six hits and walk ing but two men. Four errors on the part of his teammates were partly re- sponsible for the four runs made by Howard.
 Catcher McCurdy played a splendid game for Illinois McCurdy made three hits and scored three runs outsof four trips to bat. Reichle made two hits out of four times up. as did Croffley and Acton.
 The game was rather slow, due to the muddy diamond. The second game of the series will be played today.

 My idea is that no team in the South ern Association will have anything ike a permanent lineup for SIX weeks, the Baron pilot said. "I believe the fans will see more strange faces by June than ever before in the history of Southern baseball"
 Molesworth had no idea last night just how long he will be away. except that he will be on deck for the opening game with the Volunteers here next Wednesday, of course.
 He is not scheduled to meet the Pi- rate manager until Sunday, but will scan Uncle McCloskey's bunch today and see how the wind is blowing over in Memphis town. Meantime another re- lease or so is scheduled here today by the Baron management.
 The weather has interfered with Moles- worths speculative programme consid- eraby. He was keenly disappointed yes- terday over the failure to meet the St Paul crew, American Association. And
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-10

he was no more disappointed than Mike Kelly, the Minnesota manager. whose programme has been rudely shattered by the unfavorable weather.
 The Saints were to have played three games here. They missed connection the first day, and it rained Thursday and Friday.
 The St. Paul bunch headed for the old tome town last night, after calling off an engagement today and tomorrow in Chattanooga because of flooded grounds.
 Manager Molesworth has released Homer Norton, semi-pro outfielder, to the Greensboro Club, Piedmont League, and John Dugan, southpaw from Wheel ing, w. Va, to the Carrollton Club, Georgia State League.
 About half a dozen more will get the axe within few days.
 The Barons, led by Captain Bernsen, will take another shot at Tuscaloosa to- day for a game with the University of Alabama. They were rained out lasi Saturday, but the forecast is for aus pfcious weather today.

CHICKEN LICE NOT KILLED
BY DISINFECTING HOUSE

There have been Indny advocates of
the theory that chicken lice can be
killed by painting the roosts and drop
ping boards or the whole interior of
the poultry house with various oil
mixtures, the idea being that the va
pors or gases arising from these
points pentrate the feathers of the
roosting fowls and kill the lice. This
method has been given very exten-
sive trial by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
not one of the AZ different prepara-
tions tested was found to be of any
value. These preparations contained
one or more of the following ingredi-
ents: Phenols, tar oils, hydocarbon
oils, creosote oil, carbon disulphid,
wood-tar distillate, benzol, nitroben-
zene, naphthalene, anthracene oil, and
pyridine.
In these experiments the roosts and
dropping boards or the whole interior
of the house were thoroughly painted
or sprayed just before the fowls went
to roost, and all doors, windows, and
yentilators were closed during the
first night. Five badly infested fowls
were used in each test, and at the end
of one week examination was made
for living lice. Although an occasional
dead louse was found on the drop
pings boards, in no case was the treat
ment of any practical value. Since
many of these preparations were
found to be effective when used as fu-
migrants in small boxes, it is appar-
ent that the ineffectiveness OF mouse
treatment is due to the fact that the
fumes do not become concentrated
enough to kill the lice. Tests were al
so made with lime-sulphur applied IN
the same way; this also was founo
to be of no value.

Congressman George M. Bowers is a
candidate TO succeed himself, and all
signs point to his reelection. 1t
seems to us pertinent TO say a few
words regarding him, chiefly for the
reason that we, like most other citizens
OF the United States, regard the cleo
ton of Congress this year as of great
er Importance than we have ever re-
garded it. The reasons why are we'll
known to all intelligent men and wo-
men We have but to look about us to
see that revolution is stalking abroad
striking at the foundation of our sys
TEN of government.
Tried and tested Americans must
be placed on guard, and where tried and
tested Americans are already on guard
it would seem wisdom to keep them
there. This argument of undeniable
strength is made by the friends of
members of Congress of such proven
acceptable records as that of Congress
man Bowers. There is no weakness
anywhere in that record. 1t has the
courage of sound American patriotism;
the strength of practicable judgments;
and the ingredients Of a trained ex-
perience covering long period of pri-
vate business life. In the making of
his congressional record thus far, Con-
gresham Bowers has been neither
radical nor conservative. He has been
