Evers. being canned, simply went

The one thing that will save the
Cleveland bout from being an utter
failure is that a decision is at stake.
That means that the title is likely
to change hands, for unless Kilbane

cree he will have to do n little real
fighting this time or lose his crown.
Whether the silver hatred veteran
still has a fight in him is open to
doubt. II is q long while since he
has shown anything worth while.
His last good performance was his
knockout OF frankie Burns, back
In 1919.
Even that was not such a remark
able performance when it is con-
sidered that Burns had gone away
back and was on his last legs at
the time. At that, the knockout prob
ably was an accident. Kilbane had
been boxing in his usual stalling
fashion. and the referee warned him
to get busy or he would be thrown
out OF the ring. This caused the
champion to start a sudden squirt.
Burns was taken entirely by sur
prise and received a wallop on the
chin before he knew what 1t was all
about.
