- New York. Feb. 20. Johnny KU
bane, champion featherweight of this
planet, absolutely refuses to be Invei
gled into a match With Johnny "Kid''
Williams, who domineers the bantam
weight -iivislon of this universe.: At
least, the-Kilbane Johnny will have
.nothing to' do with the Williams John
ny until the latter Johnny makes a
number of concession in the matter
of weight, Hize of puise and place
where the contest should be conducted.
For a while the rrullible enthusiasts
of Philadelphia were led to believe
that the two champions would at last
condescend to mix matters foi their
edification. Announcement was made
that the forfeits had been posted, the
date decided upon and the poundage '
settled. Wednesday evening, Febru- I
ary 24, was designated as the all
Important day.
Now it is all off. The reason ad- j
vanced for the indefinite postpone- ,
ment of the battle is that Kilbane re- '
fuses to agree to 12 pounds at ring-'
' side, the weight Williams demanded, i
It'is -said that Kilbane was ready to
make the featherweight limit at 8 j
o'clock on tile evening of the battle,
but Williams would hear nothing of it. '
Williams, however, had another ex- i
I Sanation. The bantam boss is firm
In nis conviction that Kilbane fears
blin. and for that reason alone does 1
not anticipate with delight a meeting
with him.
Thinks Kilbane Airald.
Here is -Williams' end of the contro- i
Verey : !
"I am quite certain that Kilbane
do-s not care for any part of my game.
I have reason enough lo believe so af
ter the manner in which tie treated
the negotiations for our proposed
match.
"First, Kilbane balked at the weight.
aaying that he was perfectly satisfied :
with the 13250 offered for his end. He I
said, however, tliat he would waive the j
weight question that is, would agree
to weigh in at 122 pounds ringside if i
the ante were raised to J60UJ. Here I
his bluff was called, for the club pro- )
moter, at the instigation of my man- :
ager, consented to give Kilbane that
euni if he would accept the match at
the featherweight limit at ringside.
"Thai was the last we heard of Kil
bane. Instead of grabbing the $5Vu)
for a six round bout he is going about
the country fighting second raters at
11000 or less, per man. i
"It is not for ua to say whether
Kilbane can make 122 pounds ringside.
But it does seem queer that he should
refuse such a big sum for so short '
a bout it he can make the weiAht, the j
only hindrance lo the consummation of :
the match. I
-""If I thought Kilbane could mak.;
-'the featherweight limit, the divisio i ;
in which he Is champion, 1 would not

Abe Attell With Axe.
And here we have another notable
personage picking on Mr. Kilbane.
We have reference to Abraham Attell,
who a few years ago flaunted the
featherweight championship; the same
Abie. Attell this Kilbane person won
- his title from.
The name of Attell at firfct appears
Inappropriate in a boxing discussion
these modern days, but Abie will have
nis say, and list to it:
"I have not been before the uubiic 4

"You cannot convince me that I

once before, in Kansas City. That

ship. : 1 think I am entitled to a re
turn battle; 1 would like to get an-

With that goal in view, I am still
going through the training grind.

Manager Grayson of the Piedmont
Maroons of the city league, placed the
order for the suit's for his team with
a local sporting goods house last week.
All records for Uniforms for local
semi-pro teams were backed off the

I Charley Moore, the Portland boy

Frank Dillon of the Los Angeles team
of the Pacific Coast league, is dick
ering for a' position with the Chatta

couple of seasons ago he tried out
with the Chicago Cubs. Moore is not
through as a ball yet and a shift to
the southern part of the country
might do him good.
According to reports from Los An

fielder Bill Page before the opening
of the training season. Catcher Hoff

league, will likely be returned to the

BACKING J. JOHNSON
TO RETAIN HIS TITLE
Odds Are Ranging From Ten
to Six to Four to One on
the Big Cinder,
By Barry Farris.
New Tork, Feb. 20. New York's
betting fraternity is picking Jack
Johnson at odds to successfully de
fend his title against Jess Willard.
ex-Kansas cowboy. A tour of the
Broadway bettlnsr renters tonight
showed that the black man Is a
I ravorite at odds ranging from ten t
rt
six to four to one.
hew large amounts at the latter
figure have been posted, however.
Johnson's backers were inclined to
hedge tonight, however, after the re
port that the eriant netrro was in nmir
physical condition and had done little
training on his voyage from South
America. Five thousand dollars had
been up at a Broadway buffet at
odds of two to one. on Johnson for a
week without any takers. Soon after
, the story of the officers of the High
I land Harris, the ship on which John
j son sailed from Buenos Aires to the
j Barbadoes, about Johnson being in
poor shape, were published, this
money was withdrawn.
Many Freak Bete.
A great many freak bets are being
posted. One that went up today two
hundred dollars to one hundred dol
lars was that the bout would not go
the limit. Another at even money
was that Johnson would not be
knocked out. Several bets have been
made that the bout would be over in
side of 20 rounds.
Interest in the bout has been in
creased greatly since the announce
ment that Johnson had landed at
Tampico and would be permitted, by
the Carranzistas, to go to Juarez. In
dications are that several Gotham
fans will attend the fight.
W. Ritchie Will Give
Welsh Extra Money
Chicago, Feb. 20. Willie Ritchie
made the suggested $2."., 000 purse for
a Welsh-Ritchie fight of 20 rounds at
Denver look closer tonight when he
announced that he would put up the
extra $10,000 himself.
"If Welsh really wants S25.000 for
beating me." said Ritchie today, I'll
see that he gets It. The Denver club
has offered $15,000. If he beats me.
I'll give him $10,000 more. I'll put
the $10,000 up any time. If Welsh
really means business It's now up to
him to come through and sign up. The
only stipulation I shall make is that
if he doesn't beat me, he doesn't get
the extra $10, 000."

New York, Feb. 20. An analysis of
the baseball situation at present con
vinces that organized baseball made
a ghastly error when it elected, after
the close of the 1914 season, to con
tinue the warfare on the Feds.
The Feds, by going through the
1914 season. satisfied practically
everyone but those organized magnates
that they were In the baseball business
to stay. They convinced the skeptics
that they had unlimited bankrolls and ;
that they would use them to get ball
players of the first grade.
The fact that many of the Federal
league club owners built concrete
stadiums and signed men to three
year contracts that were absolutely
binding upon them, should have acted
as a "tip off of the sticking around
purposes, of the Feds, even before the
1914 season opened. But the organ
ized magnates were blind.
Organized baseball was perfectly
justified in fighting the Feds when
they first showed their teeth last win
ter. The Feds threatened to bust up
the monopoly that the American and
National lea'gties had in the major
league baseball world. To fight to
protect its Interests was the proper
thing to do. And that's what organ- !
izer baseball did. It's the wise man.

the part of organized baseball that the

to Beautify Lawn,
Portland will have one of the finest
diamonds of any baseball club in these
T'nited States, when the Portland and
Venice clubs of the Pacific Coaat
league open here April 13 for the first
game of the season. Walter McCredie
has given it his official survey and
pronounced the "turtleback" diamond
one of the beat that haa ever been aeen
in any ball park.
Groundkeeper Ed Krentlehr has
spent most of the winter in removing
the surface of the diamond and filling
in the low places and smoothing it off.
He took the action of the dirt by the
forelock, as It were. He raised -the
diamond up six inches higher than he
surveyed for the permanent work, and

Trouble Brewing in
Major Hockey Circles
Trouble is brewing between the two
major hockey leagues the Pacific
Coast Hockey league and the National
Hockey association, according to word
received yesterday from British Co
lumbia. A dispatch from Ottawa to
Vancouver, B. C. states that if the
Ottawa team, which is leading the N.
H. A., wins the championship it will
not be able -to make the trip to the
coast.
The Ottawans also want the coast
champions to come east, but according
to President Frank Patrick,- the east
ern title winners will come west or
there will be no series between the
two leagues. If Ottawa fails to come
to the coast the agreement between
the two leagues will be broken again
and then the coasters will likely Induce
more eastern players to Jump.
There is a possibility of an all
star team of the N. H. A. coming to the
coast in event of Ottawa's failure.
