Boston, Mass., May 22. Feather
weight Champion Johnny Kllbane did not enhance his reputation as a wrld beater last night, for the -best he could do with Jimmy Walsh of Boston be
fore 6.000 members of the Pilgrim A. A. was to get a draw after twelve rounds of the cleverest fighting the Hub has
seen in years.
In a measure Kilbane's battle was a
disappointment. During the forepart
of the bout he incessantly jabbed
Walsh, but at no time up to the sixth round did he land an effective punch', except in the first minute of fighting,
when a left jab to the mouth started
Walsh bleeding.
It was in the ninth round that the
fans thought the title was to change
hands, and never has there been seen
in a Boston ring such a reversal of con
ditions as was witnessed In that three
minutes.
In the eighth round Kllbane had
Walsh rather weak when the bell rang, as the result of a merry tattoo of rights and lefts to the stomach and Jaw. The telling work was done in the clinches. But in the next session Walsh went at Kllbane like a tiger. In a fierce mixup he opened the champion's right eye and made him break ground. Tap, tap, tap, went Walsh's gloves to Johnny's face and body, with scarcely a return. Kllbane was tired when he went to his corner, but he quickly came back, holding, Walsh even In the next round and shading him In the last two. . Referee Martin Flaherty after the fight said he could see nothing but a draw as the fairest verdict.Kilbane looked fit when he entered the ring, coming in a few minutes after Walsh. He was given a good reception. The champion was seconded by Jimmy Dun and Cal Delaney. Walsh had Mike ("Twin") Sullivan In his corner as chief adviser.

New York, May 22. Only five days
remain in which athletes throughout j the country may send in their entries for the Olympic track and field events.
The blanks must be in the hands of the Swedish committee in Stockholm on or
before June 14.
The American Olympic committee
complains that the entries received to date do not cover anything like the
number of men who are known td be trying to make the team. They lay I special stress upon the necessity for
athletes to send In the entries immedi
ately, calling attention to the fact that
unles sthey are received by May 25 It will be too late to enter the athletes In the Olympic games, no matter how good their records may be in the try-
outs.
The national registration committee
of the Amateur Athletic Union has re
fused permission to Lawson Robertson,
trainer of the Irish-American Athletic
club, to take ten athletes to Toronto for the championship games to be held
in that city June 1.
It is stated that this action was tak
en because the athletic officials believe
athletes who are to try for places on
the American Olympic team should stay in New York and compete in the games
to be held at Celtic Park, Long Island, Sunday, June 2, the proceeds of which are to be used in defraying the expenses of the American team to Stock

TRAINING PLANS
Negro Champion Will Leave
Saturday for New Mexico to Begin Work-
one. Splendid fielding support by his i team mates helped him Jn several critical times and the batting and base running of the Cubs, too, was above the usual. The boy pitcher was opposed by the veteran star. Nap Rucker, con
sidered the bast left hander in the National league. Last season Rucker could beat the Cubs any old day he was on the slab without half trying, but it seems he has not attained his regular stride this season, for the west siders landed on him for ten dandy base hits and should have scored two or three more runs except they were a bit too daring on the bases. Rucker t gave way to Knetzer after passing the
first man in the eighth. Brooklyn made eight hits oft Moroney and until the seventh inning the visitors were almost helpless before him. He seemed to weaken a bit toward the finish and Lew Richie was seen warming up down by the clubhouse ready to come to his relief if necessary. The boy stuck to the Job, however, and made good even if it was a close call.

GARY CUBS WIN-
The Mercuries of East Chicago demonstrated their class in the first game of the season at Sawmill park, Kast Chicago, last Sunday, when they held the crack Gary Colored Cubs down for nine innings, losing to the visitors in the tenth inning by a 5 to 4 score. Those who saw the game all agree that Jhe gameness of the Mercuries in the contest equaled that of much older teams, and Manager Keenan has been congratulated on all sides on tha ability of his phenom pitcher, Morgan, who
struck out no less than seventeen of
the colored boys, and gave but six hits.
The score stood 4 to 0 In the visitor
favor at the beginning of the seventh, and in the Mercuries half Foster sin
gled sharply to short left field with a man on second, who scored, making the count- 4 to 1. Morgan fanned the first two batters in the first of the eighth and forced the other to hit to his hands and be tossed out. The Mercuries faced the star pitcher in the last of the eighth and found him for three hits and two bases on balls, which netted them three runs, tying the score. Neither side scored in the ninth and in the colored boys' half of the tenth with the first man out on strikes Morgan issued a pass, putting a man on first base. A sacrifice put him on second and with two down the next batter singled to center field, scoring the runner on second. The next man fanned and in the tenth with oe run needed to tie the Mercuries were uable to connect, ending the game in the visitors favor, 6 to 4.
A return game has been arranged for some time in the next month and the Mercuries promise to give a good account of themselves. ' Featuring the game was the, stellar defense of . the Mercuries. There was not an extra base hit In the entire ten innings. .Simon, th diminutive shortstop, distinguished himself by stealing1 second and third base, as did Whelan, who duplicated the trick. The visitors were accompanied by fifty dusky rooters, who kept up a continual siege of rooting while the game lasted. Attendance, 500. Umpire, H. Fahey.

i Jimmy Moroney earned his big league spurs yesterday. He's the lone south
paw pitcher for the Cubs and Manager Chance started him against Brooklyn
In the third game of the series. Young James went through the entire combat nicely and nosed out a victory by a score of 5 to 4. It was the first time the manager
has started his youthful left hander, but on the showing he made in games which he finished It seemed he was worthy of a trial. Consequently he was given his chance and made good, showing so well that he Is likely to be used in a lot of games this season. However, his victory was not an easy
