Punch There when Wanted.

Yet. when he wanted to, Kilbane
surely could fight! There was an
instance of this one time back in
1911, when he fought Joe Rivers
the sensational little Mexican slug
ger, who was several times within
an ace or being worlds lightweight
champion.
The first time kilbane met Rivers
was MAY /, 1911. At that time Kill
bane was just beginning to take
the star part in Jimmy Dunn's sta
BILE. He had beaten several goou
feathers and had lost a few deci-
sions, averaging very well. But he
had no great record yet. He had
lost a ten-round decision to Abe
Attell, and in five years of boxing
had fought perhaps 100 small fights.
But he was a popular little fellow,
because class stuck out all over him.
He had a fighters speed, skill, judg-
ment, temperament and build, and
the crowd liked to look at him.
This first time Joe Rivers out
boxed Kilbane and won a twenty
round decision over him. Kllbane
takes great pride in the fightInB
ability of the Irish race, and the
thought that his colors had been
lowered by a Mexican stung him
hard. He went East, boxed a couple
of short bouts, and returned to the
Coast to fight Rivers again in Sep
tember.
During the early rounds of that
fight Rivers had the better of It.
The Mexican was a wildcat for ac-
ton when he was confident of win
ming, and he had beaten Kilbane
before. But under the failing
blows that broke through his guard
and caught him in spite OF his swift
footwork, Kilbane only grew more
grimly determined. The fght half
over, he began to press Rivers and
search for an opening, and a chance
to time Knockout punch. In the
sixteenth he cracked Joe on the chin
with a terrific right and knocked
him cold.
That made Kilbane's reputation.
He beat frankie Conley In twenty
rounds at Vernon, went East, and
fought no-decision eighteen ROUNDS
with Charlie White; returned to

California. and was matched with
Abe Attell
At that time AtteII was regarded
an absolutely invinciblo feather-
weight champion. He had held the
title for many years, and when
there were no more feather-weIght
conteners good enough to give him
a fight he took on the best of the
light-weights. Attoll was wonder
fully skilful, and he could fight
on even terms with the best light
weights while still a feather weight
himself. Among the great light
weights he met were owen Moran,
Tommy Murphy, Charlie White,
Matt Wells, X o. Brown, Eddie
Hanlon, Eddie Kelly, Biz Mackay,
Freddy Welsh and Battling Nelson.
When Bat was worlds champion
in the lightweight class Attcll
fought him twice, a siX-rOund draw
in Philadelphia and a fiftecnround
oraw in California. And he rushed
Nelson and fought him toe to toe
all the way at that.
AtteII Got Mad.
Attell naturally figured, to the
experts, an easy victor over young
Johnny Kilbane. Imagine the sur
prise in the packed arena at Vernon
then, when Kilbane outboxed Able
and lad him floundering like a
stranded porpoise.
kilbane danced around Attell and
Attell plunged at him until he was
leg weary. 1t was the first time IN
his life Able had been outfOoted and
shown up" and he completely lost
his temper and tried fouling and
roughing. And Kilbane foiIed him
laughed at him. and abbed him until
Abie's head bounced around like the
bean of a rag doll in a ball throw
ing parlor at Coney Islnd.
kilbane won the decision and the
championship. Attell "hollered" all
over the country, but the defeat fin
ished him as a great fighter and h ;
never was good tor much afterward.
AS for Kilbane, he went to New
York and boxed frankie Burns,
going around frankie like skit-
tering shadow. AS champion he con-
tented himself with outboXing ev-
erybody, and when he had tapped
and danced successfully for four
years people grew weary of seeing
him, and featherweight rivals for
got that he ever had a punch.
One of these, George CLANCY. of
baltimore, became famous as the
Knockout King" having knocked
out nearly all of mis- opponents ior
six years. CLANCY challenged Kill
bane and Chaney's manager abused
Johnny through the sporting papers
for months. Kilbane seemed un-
willing to meet the famous X. O.
boy. but at last he was nagEed into
a match at Matt HinkeTs club (Matt
Hinkel rcfereeing) widely adver-
tised as a featherweight champion
ship tight, at weight.
Just before that fight Johnny
wrote me a letter in which he said:
They think can't hit any more.
] can hit harder than ever, but ]
always prefer winning on points
because ] don't like to risk hurting
anybody. This time I'm going to let
the punch go, and I'll knock this
fellow Chnney out IN 4 hurry"

Radiophone News From Here and Elsewhere

With this column is inaugurated a
new department in the Palladium
devoted to the publication of news that
is interesting to wireless amateurs in
Richmond and neighboring cities. The
news will be published every Tuesday
hereafter.
1t is the intention of this depart
ment to include as much as possible
that is of especial interest to amateurs
of this locality, and in order that this
may be done, all are invited to send
in accounts of any local radio develop
ments that are called to their atten-
| ton, so that others may take advant-
age of them also.
| New records, established either in
local or DIX work by local operators,
new hook-ups, the outcome Of expert
ments that have not been worked out
1 before, the establishment of new re-
ceiving or sending stations or the
| improvement of already existing sta
tons, all are matters of news interest.
Items should be left at the Office, given
to Palladium representatives, or
mailed addressed to the Wireless
Department.
Many New Uses.
New uses to which the wireless is
put is a news matter also. For in.
stance, a farmer suggested after
listening to the wireless telephone at
a county fair, that radio might be
developed so as to operate a milking
machine. Then we can stay in town
in the evening, he said, instead Of
going home to do the milking just as
the movies are starting" 1t is not
probable that such development will
J come soon, although all amateurs are
: familiar with the fact that autos, boats
: and airships have been operated BY
. wireless. But school football team
i might call together members for {
: practice game by wireless, bushes:
might be done by wireless, or some
! other comparatively new use ma,
. occur to local amateurs and be testet
out by them. What everyone is par
ticularly interested in now is worl
: that can be done by wireless that will

u. S. Is Reducing National
Debt

!" Thrift is mankind's way to pro-
gress. 1t is the only way. NO other
way has, ever been marked out or fol-
lowed. The thrift instinct is in man.
kind. As this instinct has been de-
veloped in the individual and in the
nation, progress has been noted.
France'paid the Franco-Prussian war

fundamental to good government as
it is.to Individual well-being, and our
government is now taking the lead by
making. sweeping reductions in eXpen-
d!tures.s For over two years the
United States government has balanc-
ed its budget, current receipts against
current expenditures, and has had a
small surplus each year to apply to
the reduction of the national debt. On
the basis of daily treasury state
ments the government has reduced its
national debt by S2,672,593,523 be-
tween August 81, 1918, and Septem-
Der 80, 1921.
Restoration of prosperity in this

government has provided a means of
individual savings and investment
that is safe and certain through the
issuance of treasury savings securi-
ties, which weld interest at 4 per cent
compounded quarterly, when held
until maturity. These securities can
always be redeemed on short notice
at more than their original cost.
