.forming a reception line for another
champion. ''
The smiling Celtic face of Johnny
Kilbane, king of the featherweights,
and a politician of some note from
Cleveland, 1a getting ready to register
in the gallery of champions that
Manhattan is having glee in looking
over.
Kilbane practically has sinned with
Tex Rickard to meet the winner of the
Andy Chaney-Charlie Beecher fight Mon
day night at Madison Square Garden.
JOHNNY IS PEEVED
The featherweight king. Incidentally,
is entertaining a large sized peeve over
some of the things that have been said
about him since the boxing boom started
here. ,
Tale About' P. G. C
. . K K
"Shots" Count at Each

club.
represents the Portland Gun
"When I was out in Ohio, the pool
room champion pickers said I was
afraid to fight," the champion said to
night., "I've been in New York two
days now and I haven't had to call the
police to keep away the contenders'
managers. However, I'm here to fight
and 111 sign for one before I leave."
Chaney is being selected by the wise
ones to beat: Beecher, and Kilbane says
he will be only too glad to give the Bal
timore boy a chance at the title, as he
considers him the best of .11 the "log
ical contenders." f v
"Chaney is a real fighter. He's hard
to get to and he has an awful kick. I'll
be g'ad to go against him and prove'
I'm not through," said Kilbane.
"Kilbane is in fine shape," Matt
Hinkle, Cleveland promoter, said. "He
has been working out and he'll surprise
a lot of the wise ones."
TWO ARE HOPES
The advent of Kilbane into Gotham
fistic society is of more than ordinary in
terest, because the chief attention of the
fight fans is centered in the feather
weight and middleweight divisions.
Despite the alleged poor showing of
Jack Dempsey against Bill Brennan, the
belief prevails that none of ' the recent
crop of big fellows can beat the cham
pion.. Joe .Lynch is considered to have a
good hold on the bantamweight crown
and ; Benny , Leonard, through bis vic
tories over - Joe-' Welling" and Richie
Mitchell, has shown that he is' the king
of the lightweight division by a milei
Those who like to "be present at the
dethroning of champions, therefore, have
only two hopesKilbane and .Johnny
W ilson, ; r. . S '
It is also the Insignia of the Portland
Golf club.
Betwixt the two, there Is a very Inter
esting yarn about the officers f each
institution. It came to light as the re
sult of the failure of Henry R. Everding,
secretary of the P. Gun C. to place in
competition, at the opening registered
shoot of the season today at the Ever
ding park traps, a trophy offered by,
William C. Bristol, president of the P,
Golf C.
WAS "SHOT" OUT
W. C. B., a 20-gauger and a former
director of the P. Gun C, claims that
he was "shot out of the P. Gun C." and
intends to use a megaphone, presented
to him by the Multnomah Anglers' club,
to attract the attention of E R. E. in
tregard to his trophy. "I am," said W.
C B.. "a member of both clubs, the
only difference between them being the
kind of sticks you make your shots
with, but what I cannot understand is
when you give the P. Gun C. a trophy
the officers do nofput it up for' com
petition at the shoot it was intended
for."
II. R. E. says that he had heard about
the trophy informally, but had never
been notified officially that such a
trophy existed until after the program
for the trapBhooting tournament had
been completed. H. R. E. says the W.
C. B. trophy will be shot for at some
future date.
There is more of the tale concerning
the executives of the two clubs. John
G. Clemson, former president of the P.
Gun C. and later-holder of the same
office in the P. Golf C, offered a trophy
for competition to the Portland Gun
club in 1919. The trophy in still to be
placed in competition andW. C. B. of
the P. Golf C. is a member of the com
mittee to determine the kind of competi
tion to dispose of the Clemson trophy.
IS REAL HUSTLER
Last year, H. R. E. gave the P. Golf'
C. a trophy and the competition for it
has been staged and forgotten about ex
cept by the person who owns the mantel
upon which the trophy now sets.
There is something in common be
tween -all three men. Each of them is
a member of the two clubs,' life members
in fact. Their efforts have been partly
responsible for the goal attained by each
club to date and, what's more, a plan
has been evolved by W. C. B. to place
the P. Golf C. on a firmer financial
footing arid, of course, H. R. E. and
J. G. C, being members of the club,
will be forced to contribute.
Nevertheless there is a friendly spirit
of snortsmanship existing between the
members around whom many tales of
sportsmanship could be unfolded.

Hangs on Meeting

for the Dempsey-Willard bout, sched

result of a decision - the state boxing
commission is expected to make ' next
week.
Commenting on the report that" Jack
Kearns, manager ' of the . champion,
would call of the fight- since the com
mission passed Its $15 limit ruling. Pro
moter Tex Rickard said onight that
nothing had been done to call off the
fight.
"We'll know next week," he said.
Rickard contends, it " is understood,
that inasmuch as he signed the prin
cipals for the big -bout before the price
limit -was set by the commission, the
ruling ought to be waived on the occasion.
The commission said recently no ex
ceptions to the rule would be made in
any case If the commission insists
upon a maximum price of $15.. It will
necessitate a calling 'off of the bout or
a reduction in the purse guaranteed
Dempsey.

Garry, and as Ban and Harry are not
on the best of terms the fat boss of
the American league retired to the
bathroom to wait until Harry had paid
his respects to Garry.
It seems that Frazee had a lot to
eay, and it developed, too, that much
of what he said was about Ban. The
latter recently intimated that Harry
would have to get out of his league,
and Harry's written reply is historic
Harry wanted to tell Garry his opinion
of Ban because the Cincinnati magnate
is a sort of receptacle for baseball
opinions in general.
Thus Ban had to listen to everything
Harry had been thinking about him for
months past, and much of it even Bart
had not suspected. -
Garry's bathroom was not large and
the steam was turned on; Between the
steam and Harry's remarks, Johnson
was well heated up before the Boston
owner- had exhausted himself and re
tired. It was quite an evening.

lose out this time and I haven't; I'm taking three suits ancj an overcoat even
though I already own a pretty good overcoat. I'm taking this one becaus I've
never seen any as good in the past ten years and I'm sure I'll never be able to
get another like it in the next ten years unless I were to purchase another one
in this sale." ' ' ,

back' with a new .shipment, I was mighty glad, as I think I have even done
better than I would have had li made purchases at the beginning of the sale."
