Wellesley Hills, Mass. Dec. p
There has been much discussion OF late
as to whether the building boom spent
itself. Roger W. Babson evidently
doesn't think it has. In commenting
today on the building outlook he called
attention to several bulllsh factors.
New building" says Mr.. Babson,
is the outstanding feature of our
business recovery. 1t is what started
us on the road to better business.
Never before in the history or the
country have so many new houses been
built as in the first ten months OF W.
Fer every house that was built III l92i'
two have been built this year. Last
wear in ~ northeastern states OF the
country we spent $6SS.OO0,0 600 for
homes: this year we have already spent
81 ,0.9. 000, 900, and when the gong
rings on December 81 the total will
very likely show 100 per cent more
than in 1921.
.HThis building revival is not CON
fined to houses either. House build
ing has been the most spectacular, but
factories, schools, hospitals. churches,
amusement halls. public roads, bridges,
reservoirs. memorials. in fact. all kinds
Of construction. Whereas our normal
building total is about S3.0o0,OON. 600,
the end of this year, we shall have
built to the extent of $1,000. 600. 600.
When asked if he did not think we
have already overdone this building
boom, Mr.. Babson replied:
II do not think SO yet. | look for
continued building activity, both in res
dental and business building for the
greater part Of 1923. Beyond that
fine, ! expect a decline. A survey
| just made by the National Association
! Of Real Estate Boards shows that, out
of a total of Isl cities scattered over
the country. i21 cities still report a
housing shortage. OF the remaining
B3 cities, R report no shortage and
only 10 n moderate shortage. This
study corroborates my opinion that
there is still much residential building
to be done. although the peak may
have been passed
Rents
"What about rents Mr.. Babson
was asked.
High rents have probably passed
their peak. The long swing will be
downward. Here again it is a question
of supply and demand, The coming
decline in rents will not be abrupt, at
least, not until this building boom has
suppliedsiino,.e OF the shortage. Rental

johnny kilbane is the only ring fos-
sill still holding a championship. One
by one, the rest of the old timers have
been pushed out Of the way by young
er and more active rivals. Which is
a very good thing for boxing.
,Kilbane won the featherweight
championship from Attell in 1912, tax
ing the decision at the end of n 20
round bout. AttelI was q ring fossil
at that time. He had been clinging to
the championship for years by fight
ing a great number Of no-decision
bouts.
But Attell. when he was good, had
the one virtue of being able to fight
and unafraid to fight anyone ID or out
Of his class. His ~favorite amusement
was fighting Battling Nelson, and any
one who fought Bat in those days was
up against "A tough game.
kiibane was a better boxer than At
tell, and he could fight when he wanted
to. kilbanc never had any sign OF a
reckless streak III his makeup. After
winning the championship he fought a
lot of the best men in the country, but
when up against Il rugged opponent
c~ontented himself with using all his
rare speed and skill to win on points,
Was Great Boxer
In the early days Of his career as
champion Kilbane was n great boxer.
He knocked out a number of fairly
good featherweights. but when there
was "A decision at stake he was very
careful. Johnny Dundee, then a young
ster and coming fast, fought kilbane
20 rounds TO a draw. and Joe Mandot,
Il clever and dangerous y~oungster,
drew with him in l. rounds.
Later kilbane cut out decision fight
ing altogether. In Is he made a squirt,
stung by much criticism Of bis playing
safe methods. and fought George Cha
ney in a decision battle, knocking Cha
ney out in the third round.
He knocked out Patsy Cline and
Willie Jackson in the same year. In
1t Kilbane took Il chance again by
meeting Benny Leonard in a no-deci-
sion bout in Philadelphia. Decision or
no decision, there was risk in meeting

in three rounds.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-12-10

Since that time kilbane has done no
real fighting and has avoided meeting
Johnny Dundee and all other challeng-
ers who might give him trouble.
Johnny is now in his thirty-fourth
year, has grown gray and has put on
weight so that there is some doubt be
could compete as a featherweight, but
he still clings to the title. He has
made a fortune in the ring, and has in
creased it through good business in-
7estments. He has no ambition to be
retire or meet his ~challengers, and he
will do neither. This has caused stag
nation in the f~eatherweight class and
few good new fe~atherweights are be-
ing developed. There is little interest
in featherweights because the class has
40 active champion.
In the days of George Dixon and
Terry McGovern, who were real fight
ing champions. the fea~therweights were
extremely popular. The class will
come up again when iklbane drops out.
Wilson ArtfuI Dodger
Another poor champion is Johnny
Wilson. who still holds the middle
weight title simply because he has
lodged meeting any one of half a
dozen middIeweights who could take 1t
way from him. Wilson isn't quite a
ring fossil yet.
lie might be able to fight a little if
he had the courage to risk his title in
II real contest. Ii was only a little
over two years ago that he beat Mike
0'Dowd in a l. round decision bout in
Boston, winning the championship. He
is % years old.
Bob Fitzsimmors Won the middle
weight championship when he was 20.
The middleweight class hasn't had n
really great champion since ketchels
time. Frank Klaus was a rugged fight
or. but didn't last long. George Chip
had class, but walked into a wild swing
when he was stalling with Al Mccoy.
Mccoy was rs much of a cheese
champion as Wilson. He flatly re-
fused TO risk his title" in any decision
bout. and even the contest In which
he went through the motions of being
knocked u BY O,Dowd!, coming into
the ring bog-fat and making no attempt

O'Dowd was merely a strong, rough
mauler who had no chance TO win

He was dazed in the first round with
Walker, and so was forced to stall

In the 11th round he threw all eau

It's only fair to Buff. however. to
add that sickness put him out of the

? Dempsey will probably meet Harry
Wills. the 220 pound black challenger,
next July, in Il decision bout.
Leonard No ldier
Benny Leonard has been anything
but a fossil champion among the light
weights. At one time or another since
he Knocked out Freddy Welsh in 1917
Leonard has fought nearly every top
notch lightweight in the country. He
has knocked most of them out. Only
one man has given Benny trouble
Lew Tender Of Philadelphia.
Leonard has such respect for Tender
that he refused to meet him in a de-
cision bout. Or perhaps it vas business
sense on Leonard's part, for when he
met Tender in q no-dec1s2on bout in
New Jersey the gate receipts Were the
greatest ever taken in at any match in
The world except the Dempsey-Carpen-
tier fight.
At that time there vas no arena
other than Richards stadium IN Jersey
CITY that could seat such a crowd.
Leonard had a pivot tooth broken IN
that bout, and infection of The Jaw
caused by neglecting to have the root
removed has kept him out OF the ring
for several months.
There is some question that Leon
ard can beat Tender. in a decision
bout. but that will probably be settled
in the spring. if they haven't both
grown out of the lightweight class by
that time. Both had difficulty in max
ing the weight when they met before.

the title for four years. and had claim

end when leading the interference and

necessary are leading elements making
a good halfback. Mitchell of Wes-

Kirschner of University Of Montana
and Plummer of University of Mon
tana are the outstanding halfbacks of
1922.
MitchelI-The Wesleyan back has
spread and carries the ball in good
shape. He has the ability to dodge
and change pace and he has weight.
His only weakness is that sometimes
he misses the end when leading the in

arm either way, has a hip weave that
is particularly deceptive. In an open
field he is almost impossible to stop.
He has the height to intercept forward
passes. Mitchell possesses particular

erything else he likes to play football,
He is seldom injured.
Johnson-In johnson Of the Univer-
sity of Montana team one finds a fast

a very dangerous open field runner.
He is a strong defensive player, is
rugged and is seldom hurt. He is a
good man in interference and has no

Mitchell and Johnson are effective and
fast in breaking UP forward pass plays.
