TO
 MEET K. c. QUINT

The Blessed Sacrament cage team composed of some of the fastest play CTS in the city, will furnish the oppO- sition to the Knights of Columbus team in the High school gymnasium Saturday night. The Blessed Sacra- ments have been stepping along at a speedy gait this season and promise to make things interesting for the Kaceys.
 The K. of C's, it appears, have hit their stride. In last Saturdays game with the Naples of New Haven, machine. Their passing game was ex- cellent. General opinion in cage circles in the city is that the Kaceys, if they continue to improve in their play at the rate with which they are going now, will have an excellent crack Y. M. H. A team, champions of the city for the past two seasons. It is the hope of the Kacey followers that the Knights defeat the T- M. H. A. on the court. and nothing is being left undone which will aid them in turning the trick.

S15 FIGHT FANS
 ARE ''DYINC OUT"
 NEW YORK HEARS
Rv DAVIS J. WALSH.

New York, Dec. 21-(I. N. S.)- Although Tex Rickard will not admit it, there is a fistic famine oh in New York and the starving, famtshed SIS a night species of fight-fan is fast dying out on account of malnutrition.
 For the first several months of the title bout has been held. On that occasion, Jack Britton received less than $35,OO0 for losing his welter- weight title to Mickey Walker. Then and there, the rest of the big timers who had not already pushed to cover, proce eded to do so with unseenly haste. They have found that it is con- siderably more beneficial to lose ones title outdoors, if at all.
 If the transaction is conducted in the broad, open spaces, many merry villagers, even at a nominal sum per head, contribute to the size of the purse. Indoors. at Madison Square Garden, it has become Q question of charging SIS as a top price and doing business to a semi-t1lled auditorium or playing to capacity crowd in dollars and 50 cents when buying ticket.
 The time was not so long ago when SIS prevailed as the top price at ordinary bouts, such as that between Pepper Martin and Babe Herman. But, in the meantime, your Broadway. sport has discovered that SIS will buy all manner of necessities from 1,50O
  in a supper club for an hour or less.
 Kilbane's Demand.
 Only for champion and a prin- ciDai contender can such price be charged now. That Is one of the con tributing factors in the suspense of Johnny Kilbane. When Kilbane was challenged, blanket of snow lay over Boyle's Thirty Acres and the Polo Grounds, and in consequence, his de- mand for S10O,000 could not be met. It is also the principal reason that Benny Leonard is doing all his talk ing with his mouth closed when some one mentions Charley White and Lew Tendler.
 It may have been further noted that Harry Greb is doing no boxing in this vicinity. He met Tom Gib- bouts last year Harry is waiting for the midsummer harvest moon, just like the rest of them.
 In fact the entire fistic game is Filipino. is one of the most popular champions we ever had, and his ap- pearance in a championship bout would cause box office men to suffer 3 rush of customers to the head. But PanchO has an American manager and the latter knows that patience will have its reward.
