THANKFUL FOR HELP

A noble expression or the beau
tiful Christian spirit of brotherly
love and helpfulness was witnessed
over in Greeley Saturday, June IS,
when forty of Louis Moores neigh
bors and friends came with teams
and plows and cultivated his corn
over twice while he was confined to
his room by a serious illness which
the doctor says may develop into
typhoid fever. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore
wish sincerely to thank these good
people for this timely extension of
help. Verify, verify, friend in need
is a friend indeed.

1t is difficult to catalogue crime
more heinous than the kidnapping
of a child, such as little 5-year-old
Giuseppe Varotta, who was stolen
in New York city three weeks ago,
and held for ransom, which the dis
tracted parent could not pay, and
whose disfigured body was found az
last in the wash of the Hudson riv-
er. The little Italian boy was the
first kidnapped child in the great city
the official records show, to have
the vengeance of the kidnapper fall
on him, although death in many
cases has been threatened.
The police of New York realize
they are confronted by one of the
most brutal challenges to law they
have ever been called upon TO meet.
They assert this crime was not only
an Italian crime but Black Hand
crime, and Sicilian crime. All Of
which indicates criminal band in
Gotham bold enough to bid open de-
fiance to the authorities.
Omaha, in the years gone by, has
had its experience with kidnapers.
Omaha's heart has gone out to par

whose hours were anguish until the
boy was safely returned, only after
a heavy reward had been paid as d.

FAVORITE
 FOR FEATHER TITLE

Two boys who have attracted quite a lot of attention lately stand out from the others. They are Andy Clancy and Billy DeF'oe.
 Chaney seems to have the edge as far as general sentiment goes and Ki1bane himself believes the Balti- more boy is the toughest of the crowd trailing at his heels.
 In addition to Chaney, who is stablemate of Joe Lynch, the bantam weight champion, DeFoe rands sec ond, Charley Beecher and Sammy Sieger third or fourth-take your pick and the others close behind these two.
 Ki1bane, realizing that inaction is anything but profitable, is anxious to resume fighting and willing to box, but so far he has been too high in his demands, and this alone has kept him from the ring. Of course, that is Kilbane's business, yet the public would be better satisfied with him if he would show willingness to take a chance with the promoters and gam b1e on what he can draw to the gate.

Wrecked Sox
 Team Is Off

New York.-Whi1e the public eye is focused on Washington and the comeback of the G. O. P. today, Kid Gleason, scrappy little manager Of the Chicago White Sox, will stage an inauguration all his own.
 Gleason will lead the remnants Of his once great ball club and an army of youthful recruits to Texas tonight to start the task of rebuilding for the 1921 race This undertaking is one of mammoth proportions but Gleason is not dismayed.
 Manager Gleason has scratched the playing value and possibilities of the indicted members of his team off his roster for all time. He will miss them, no doubt, for what they were worth as purely mechanical players, but he is a fighter and his dynamite spirit and his methods of handling men should work wonders with the Sox- With Collins, Ral Schalk and his remnant of veterans he has little group of 1oya1ists about him but he would have stuck no matter what had happened.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-03-04
Kilbane'S

New York-Johnny Kilbane's fighting days are nearly over.
 The good-natured little boss of the featherweight division is no longer a chicken, and no one realize it better than himself.
 But even though he dResn't expect to continue his ring career over a long period, he means to make some body go the limit to win the title un- less he decides to retire because of a lack of worthy opponents.
 Digging up featherweights to topple Ki1bane from his throne has been a favorite pastinae of managers and promoters for a number of years. But they never got anywhere with it.
 Today the situation, insofar as danger to Kilbane's skypiece is con cerned, has changed but little. There is enough of a change, however, to make it noticeable.
 Four or five featherweights who are active in fistic circles today are worthy of tabulation as likely looking aspirants to the KiIbane halo.
