Eleven •Years a Champ KILBANE-RIVERS GO K. O. IN SIXTEENTH NUMBER “2” LUCKY

Bv JOHNNY KILBANE. Featherweight Champion of the j World. Copyright. 192", by NEA Service. Inc . in the United States and all foreign j countries having copyright laws. Reproduction is prohibited. IMMEDIATELY after the fight \ with .Tack White at Columbus, I signed with Jimmy Dunn. He be j came my manager, and from that! time until only a few years ago w' were together. Os course, otir big goal was Abe ’ Attell, the featherweight champion. ’ But about that time something hap- i pened in my life that was bigger even j than winning the championship. I j refer to my marriage to Irene Me-1 Donnell. Well, we were married and right j here I want to stop to give a word | or two to the young fighters of to- j day, and maybe it fits in, too, with j other lines of endeavor. • A good woman’s influence is worth , ore to a man than anything else 1 in the world. If you are going with a girl, and both of you know you are cut out for each other —get married early. Get it over with. You’ll make a way, somehow, and you're more certin to settle down and come through than you would otherwise. Wife Never Saw Fight My wife to this day has never seen me fight. She has never attended a boxing show, and we've been married j thirteen years and I've been fighting every one of them. Why hasn't she? I don’t know exactly. She has asked me only once to quit the ring. That was when Benny Leonard and I met, and Benny, the lightweight champ, won by the knockout route. But, to get back to Dunn and the search for the featherweight championship. In order to get to AtteJ’, I had to show I could beat Joe Riv- j era, the Mexican. We signed up Joe out In Vernon, CaL, to go twenty rounds. I lost the decision. Despite that, I got a fight, for ten rounds, with Attell, and lost that. too. Then came the break. I got another match with Rivers. In those days 5,000 or 6.000 persons was a mob. Every seat In th- place j was taken, and nearly as many tried to get in and failed. The strain was great on me. And to raake matters ! worse, a couple of Mexicans, disappointed at not being able to get in, ; fired two bullets into my dressing om and both oj them missed me by j ro inches. I thought I was a goner, and all thoughts of the fight fled from my mind as I lay on a table, being rubbed down. Finally the bell came. Once in the ring, I forgot my nervousness. For fifteen rounds we fought like wild men. Then came the sixteenth, and Rivers’ finish. A right to the jaw sent him down for the count. Rivers was a great scrapper. Like all good Mexican fighters he used both hands and kept them going. That knockout gave me confidence, ajid we went after Attell’s scalp with a vengeance. Abe was not so eager to meet me this time. In fact he seemed to have a complete loss of memory, and I had to Journey to New York several times and had to keep after Mm six weeks before he finally saw I was the only logical contender. Ready for Attell He consented to a twenty-round match in Vernon to a decision. But, although I had confidence, I was not by any means the champion, and ; Attell was—and therein lies a big differer.ee. The scrap was slated for Washing- , ton’s birthday—Feb. 22, 1912. All through my career this figure j “2” has uncannily appeared. And always by chance. I fought my first fight on the second of the month. I was 22 years old and was to meet Attell on Feb. 22. 1912. And the next fight Is slated for June 2. with Oriqui! The hall out there in Vernon on Aie day of the fight was packed. came from miles around. I had trained to the last inch, and was in wonderful shape. Attell was a native son of California. I was almost a stranger in a strange land. But my showing against Rivers won some friends for me, and the crowd, while for Attell, was not entirely against me. But the cheers I received were puny in comparison to those handed Abe. who was a 2-to-l favorite. I got into my fighting togs, and walked toward the ring. That historic battle between Kifbane and Abe Attel, when Johnny won the championship, is told about in lus next article. What did Attell say to Kilhane in a clinch?

14 Local H. S. Athletes to Go After Laurels in State Track Meet

SEVEN OF TECH’S BEST TO COMPETE IN BIG TOURNEY Six Manual Entries and One From Shortridge at East Side Field Saturday, F’ourteen local higii school track athletes will compete in the State meet next Saturday at Technical field its the result of finishing first or second in the sectional tourney. A number of them have a good chance to place against the best prep performers in Indiana. Seven of the iocal stars will represent Technical and wear the green and white, six will uphold the red and white of Manual while Shortridge will have only one entrant in the final tourney. Technical, State champions, will lie represented by Langlais in the 100yard and 440-yard dashes. Smith in the 880-yard run. Maxwell and Nehf in the mile. Clift in the high and low j hurdles. Wilson in the high jump, and . W. Johnson in the broad jump. Manual will stake its chances of victory on Hardin in the 100-yard and 220-yard dashes, Olsen in the ’4O-yard dash, Hoppe in the 880-yard run. MeAllister In the low hurdles, Hutton in the high jump and Floyd in the shot- j put. Shortridge's only entry is Meyers In the high jump. Tech’s Best Bets It is rather difficult to dope the locals’ chances as there are usually a number of dark horse athletes j among the various schools who excel in someone event. Tech s oest bets seem to be Maxwell in the mile and Clift In the hurdle events. Both of these tracksters are among the best in the State in their respective events. Langlais probably will causa somebody plenty of trouble in the quarter mile event. Floyd of Manual looks good for some points in the shot put. He is above; the average high school weight man. Hardin is a splendid sprinter, but the dashes are usually rather an uncertain j quantity in the high school meets and include a huge entry list, and he major may not place in the State. The 220-yard dash looks to be his best race. Hoppe of Manual stepped out in the half-mile In the district meet and maybe feeling just right next Saturday. Upset in Half-Mile The half-mile in the district ourney resulted in an upset. Bryan of Shortridge, who finished third, has defeated both Hoppe of Manual and Smith of Tech, who beat him to the tape last | Saturday. Bryan did not seem In his usual form. Everybody that survived the pre- , iiminaries in the high jump in the disi uict meet will get a chance in the State, as all five of the entries tied at j 6 feet 3 inches, Wilson of Tech, Hut- | ton of Manual and Meyers of Shortridge will have to go much higher than that in the State to be good for any points. The local schools do not seem : to have a great deal in the field events I with the exception of Floyd in the ! shot put.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PIRATES LOOM AS FLAG CONTENDERS That Is N, Y, Verdict —Russell Slow Starting, By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sjxirts Editor. NEW YORK, May 15.—The Pittsbugh Pirates are the best looking of the clubs which have appeared against the Champion Giants this year. The Pirates look to be the outstand ing contender for the National League pennant, and if they can avoid the pitfalls which wrecked their chances the Last two years, the Giants will have no cinch victory in the race. Player for player, position for posi tion, the Pirates are almost as strong as the Giants. They might tje a trifle less game, perhaps, because they haven't been called upon to use their courage so much, and they might not be under leadership as brainy as the Giants, but they seem to have every thing else about equal. Rob Russell, who was one of the hig powers in the resuscitation of the Pirates last year, has been Iri a, had slump and It has reduced the effectiveness of the club. He developed a sore back and. along with the curtailing of his hitting he went into a fielding slump.

TRIBESMEN WE BOW IN WESTERNj HALF OF CIRCUIT Millers Have Hunch They’ll ‘Take’ Indians in Series Opening Today, By Times Special MINNEAPOLIS, May 15.—Miller fans were to get their first glimpse of the 1923 Indians today when the Hendricksmen were carded to open a series with Joe CantiUon’s trailers at Nicollet Park. Local rooters believe Indianapolis Is one club the Millers can knock off, due to the hard sledding the Hoosiers have had since the season opened. The record of the local team in its games with other western clubs has been nothing to boast of. but the fans who have stayed with the Millers during their slips and slides hope for better things, now that their favorites get a crack at the ailing Tribesmen. According to the viewpoint of the Tribe players, however, they are not going to be the easy victims that western teams figure. They point to the fact that errors have been responsible for most of their defeats, and they* predict the presence of Harold Janvrin will bolster their defense and cut down the error hazard. Janvrin was due to join the Indians today. It was thought Pug Cavet would be the Tribe pitching selection today. The Millers have some hefty* lefthanded hitters and the right field fence here is short For that reason it was believed Hendricks would use a southpaw on the firing line. The weather was threatening this morning. WABASH BEATS FRANKLiN Little Giant Baseball Team Wins Five-Inning Contest. By Times Special CRAWFORDSYILLE.
