Feather King GiUes
Reasons for Stand
in Remaining Idle
KiLbGne Says Promoters Haze
Not Made Proper Offer to
Warrant Title Match.
BY HENRY FARRELL,
United Press Sports Editor.

NEW YORK. Jan. 11.-Johnny Kill
ton, featherweight champion Of the
world, has been the target OF all the
pugilistic artillery this season for not
fighting.
His preference for the stage has caused
n howl among the featherweights and
general assault from the boxing
public.
The champion was asked by the
United Press for a tatement on his rea
sons for remaining inactive this season
and refusing to consider alleged offers
by Tex Richard and other promoters.
The champion denied he has been given
a definite offer
I'm ready to defend my title for a
fair figure against any man in the world
who viii make the weight" he said.
featherweight challenger in the country.
"Ill take on any OF those who have
been bowling for a match but first l
want n direct offer. am not going
to waste my time on those fellows who
sit In poolrooms and make champions
over night.
Have l received a direct offer for a
fight in the East? Sure. Loftin offered
me $1,000 tonight In Madison Square Gar
den. Certainly l ignored that. Many
outside the ring do not know how some
things are worked. Some would-be pro-
motors wiring fighters, say for instance,
I can get you Kilbane for s1,5O0'-and If
Richard accepts, they tell me to come on
and sign. They give me, 81 600 and keep
the extra $500.
~ got one offer from Richard. He
wanted know what was the yeast I
would take for fight. didn't answer
him as that is not business method. I'm
the champion and II he wants my sery-
ices he is the one to offer a price. 1
worked hard for the championship and
70 grFw
Il haven't been fighting because 1t
should not be necessary for a champion
to run around after contenders No one
came to me with the title on a silver plat
ter and any manager who wants me to
fight will have to come to me.
III talk business any time the other
fellow is ready and I don't want a mil
lion dollars for It."

Dentals Start Hard
Practice for Contest
With Rose Five Here

After a rest since the De PAW game
the Indiana Dental College will start
basket practice tonight for the game to
be played with Rose Poly at the Athe-
naeum gymnasium Saturday night
Last year the Dentals and the Terre
Haute Engineers played a close game,
the Tooth Pullers losing in the last few
minutes OF play. Rose Poly defea ted
Franklin College last week and Is reputed
to have one of the best teams in its his
tory. The Dentals have been on the short
end Of most OF the scores this year but
the Tooth Pullers have been playing
strong teams.
DeaKyne's showing IN the De PAW
game leads the followers Of the Dental
team to believe that the former Fort
vile High School star may shine IN Che
Dental lineup against Rose Poly. Ne
Tooth Pullers played real basket ban
against De PAW in the second half Of
that game, but the poor showing in the
opening period kept them from having
a chance to win.

DEMPSEY STILL HARDEST HITTER

the time Dempsey was pale and drawn.
He was as nervous as hyped-up race

Brennan while the camera man shot

ring costume was Turkish tower
wrapped around his shoulders, and ne
folded 1t close around him and shtvered.
He looked about as comfortable as

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-MaJor and minor
league baseball magnates continued to-
day their series OF conferences at which,
1t is expected, a new government for or
ganized ball will be worked out. Most
of the working out process is still to
be accomplished for few baseball ses-

the conference OF yesterday.
There was hope today, however. that
some decisive steps toward revamping
the national pastime would be taken.
The major league drafting committee and

believed this meeting will bring the big
fellows and the little fellows together
in some sort Of a concrete agreement.
The major league drafting committee
was prepared to recommend TO the minors
Immediate adoption and signing OF the
new national agreement as approved by
both the American and the National
Leagues. 1t was to recommend also the
approval of a new form of players con.

constitution relating to gambling. This
amendment would authorize the president
Of each lea cue TO maintain strict super.
vision over all clubs to prevent open
pool selling or betting in any OF the
parks and to investigate any rumor Of
''crookedness" among the players.
The minors also changed the member
