Kilbane Says He Is
Through Boxing for
1923; Fans Puzzled

Cleveland, Ohio, April %. -
Fight fans here - and probably
everywhere else-are wondering
today what has gotten into John
ny Kilbane, the featherweisht
champion.
Kilbane late Thursday night an
nounced that he had retired from
ring activity for the rest of this
year. He gave no reason.
There were many who doubted
his intentions, as it was only a few
days ago that he applied for n Ii
cense in New York state and 1t
was granted, apparently with a
view toward clearing the way for
the Kilbane-C riqui championship
fight this summer.
Kilbane could not be reached

Killkz0'


My caddie is an excellent player,
always showing a card between 40
and so. Being a novice at the game,
l am often perplezed as TO the best
way to make certain shots. The cad
die is a very intelligent chap and
has a clever way of importing his
knowledge. A keen golfing rivalry
exists between myself and a very
close friends. In several matches /
have consulted with my caddie over
certain shots, and profited greatly
thereby. My friend claims l have no
such right.
Friend golfer is decidedly in error
A player has a perfect right 70 ask
advice of his caddy. This is a COM
mon practice, even among the leading
players of the country.
II a players ball is at rest on the
fairway, and his opponents ball
strikes it, and defects it into a hole
on the course, what is the proper
course to pursue? Must the ball be
played from the hole, or has the
player the right 10 lift and drop the
ball without penalty? This happened
in a match game between two bitter
rivals and serious argument arose
as TO the proper procedure.
In match play, it is permissible to
| lift the ball and drop it without pen
atty, at the spot where it lay when
DETECTED. In medal play the moved
ball must be replaced before. being
played.

MINER CAUGHT
 UNDER TONS OF
 ROCK AT A. J,
Nick Zukof Lives B Hours Under Rock in Stope-
 Dead When Taken Out.

Caught by tons of rock, in a stope o'clock yesterday afternoon, Nick Zukoff, Russian about 29 years of age and bulldozer in the mine. lived un- til about f o'clock this morning and his body was taken from the stope at 6 o'clock this morning, after a ed unceasingly the IA hours to re- move the rock barricade which en- tirely blocked the opening Zukoff was conscious the entire time and talked to his rescuers, advising them as to the quickest way to reach him and talking in optimistic and en- couraging tones until o'clock when he was silent. His head was slightly crushed and it is thought this 'n jury and suffocation caused his death.
 Zukoff was working to loosen the rock in the stope which had become choked when the accident occurred. He had set off blast to loosen the rock. which was not effective, and after a few minutes he climbed up into the stope about 10 feet to see what could be done to bring the rock 1own. It was when he had started another fuse for blast that the rock started to slide, according to the report. and Zukoff leaped to one side. taking refuge in small pocket which he had spied as a safe place when he went into the stope. The rock filled the stope and surrounded Zukoff in the pocket. shutting off any avenue of escape. The rescue party was put to work immediately under the supervision of E. c. Kil- burn, mine foreman.
 Zukoff is an oldtimer In this dis trict and has been employed in the Alaska Juneau mine for the past three years. where he was consid. cred one of the best miners. He was born in Russia and came to this country in 1912 with friend Seke' noff, who is in Juneau at the present time. He went first to Dawson where he stayed three or four years, and from there went to Hyder, coming from that place to Juneau.
 Zukoff is survived by his father two brothers and a sister in Russia and a cousin who lives in the Fair banks district No arrangements have been made as yet for the funer- nl. The body is at the c. w. Young Undertaking Parlors.
