JOHNNY KILBANE f
NOT AFTER BOUT
If He's in New York Look

New York, Dec. 10. Who is that
sray-haired, square-faced chap, some-1
tv-hat overweight that you see bowling
through the great White Way district
in a taxi, stopping at glittering wes
taurants and in the early morning
hours emerging from after-theater
shows? Why, that, friends, is none
Dther than Johnny Kilbane, feather
weight champion of the world.
According to press agent dope, he is
in this city looking for matches. Is
he? Well, he isn't looking very hard.
No danger of eye strain. And even if
he was looking hard, he wouldn't find
any matches in the places he has been
frequenting. The writer asked Tex
Rickard today if he had seen any
thing of Kilbane since he arrived in
this city.
"I haven't even heard from him,"
was the reply. "Yes, I know he is
here, out I don't think he is in train
ing or anything like that."
As scon as Johnny Dundee heard Kit
bane was in town, he at once came
forth with an offer to meet the cham
pion for the featherweight title. This
fine, honest little fighter says he can
make rhp 12fi-nonnd limit and. as the

Ever-Ready Trade Rumors
Missing on Eve of Mid
Winter Talk Fest.
By HENRY L. FARRELL.
United Press Staff Correspondent.
New York, Dec. 10. Nothing heavier
than light talk issued here today from
the informal gathering of baseball men,
large and small.
Even the ever-ready rumors of trades
and deals were missing from the clans
gathe red for the big meetings next week.
as wisdom teeth in a partridge
But there is no need for excitement.
Kilbane holds that the true feather
weight limit is 122 pounds and anyone
who wishes to take the title from him
must make that, weight at 3 o'clock
on the afternoon of jthe fight. Kilbane's
idea seems to be that he himself would
not have to get on the scales at all.
That's a queer proposition for a cham
pion to make, but . that is how it
stands. Kilbane could not make the
weight he names for an opponent, 122
pounds, and, from the present looks of
him, he would be a sad proposition at
126 pounds.
If Kilbane wants a fight in New
York or in any State where boxing

WIN 6-DAY BIKE RACE
Madison, Square Garden, New York,
Dec. 10. Alf Goullet, who makes his
home in Newark, and Maurice Brocco,
Italian, won the thirty-first six-day
bicycle race which ended tonight in
Madison Square Garden. This pair, rid
ing as the American-Italian team, finish
ed the grind with the commanding total
of 1,232 points. Willie Coburn and Walr
ter Rutt finished second. They rad 431
points. Percy Lawrence and Lloyd
Thomas were third with 331 points.
These were the only three teams on an
Bven footing in miles and laps covered
when the race ended. The three teams
had covered 2,463 moles and six laps.
Brocco and Goullet received $5,000
as the winning team while $4,000 goes
to the second pair, and $3,000 to the
third team.
It was a whirlwind finish, hotly
fought by Rutt and Coburn, who made

the minor league meeting in Buffalo,
and, as a result, has some negotiations
on for ball players. He expects to
have some good news to divulge in the

with the condition that he was not to
report to the Giants until 1923, the
New York club assuming the risk that
he will not be as good or better than
he was in 1921.
That is a radical departure in base
ball. There have been delayed steals
and delayed throws and delayed pay
days in baseball, but there has never
been such a thing as a delayed report
ing season before. Players have been
engaged by major league clubs and re
leased on optional agreements as they
are called, but a'future delivery price
of $75,000 is something new. Baseball
men today expressed a good deal of
doubt as to the wisdom of this new ele
ment of speculation in the national
game. The head of one of the largest
leagues in the United - States said he
wondered whether this was not carry
ing sport beyond . the limit of good
ethics. .
"There are some things to be con
sidered from the standpoint' of the play
ers, the public and the game in general.
Are we really establishing a sound
sport when we advance beyond the
present and invade the future by mak
ing cash investments in human flesh
which is scattered all over the United
States? That is commercializing sport
with a vengeance."
The sale of two balb players by the
Portland club, of the Pacific Coast
League, for immediate transfer to De
troit, for a sum reported to be $40,000
is on a line with baseball transfers as
they have been made in the past. That
was a whopping price as things have
gone in the past and, combined with
the New York-San Francisco deal, will
continue to convince the Coast League
magnates that it is better not to draft
than to draft
All is not harmony in the National
League as a result of the transfer of
Heinie Groh to the New York club.
There is less tendency to crticize New
York than to blame Cincinnati. Feed
ing leading players to the champion
ship team of the National League is not
conducive to keen competition, no mat
ter how much Cincinnati may think it
will benefit by the trade, according to
other owners. Clubs which thought they
had a chance to win from New York
see that chance fading when their rival
can draw assistance from a club of
their own organization.
M. H. Sexton, president of the minor
league organization, who has had a

their r emarkable ability.

THEIR MERITS.
PARR throughout the season has
season has been a whirlwind player,
a driving engine of destruction in
smashing interference and a pestilence
to the opposing tackle when on at
tack and downfield he was an ac
curately aimed thunderbolt.
GOEBEL, at right end, played an ex
traordinary game throughout the sea
son. He had every phase of wing play
at his finger ends and - in speed
strength, skill and accuracy may be
regarded as the best wing man in the
country. He received forward passes
with the best and carried the ball
with the swiftest and most elusive.
HUFFMAN, at tackle, had every
thing that the occupant of this most
scientific and important position should
possess. He had brute strength com
bined with shiftiness and offensive de
fensive intelligence. No tackle in the
country was quite in his class this
year, although we have' to recognize
the remarkable ability of
SHAW, who played so constructive a
part in Notre Dame's scheme of line
off ens. Shaw was a Berserker in the
Olney King, Weslevan. As for tackles,
there are Slater, Iowa; Spiers, Ohio
State; Garvey, Notre Dame; Into, Yale;
Hooper, Princeton; Kane, Harvard;
Neidlinger, Dartmouth: Kelly, Pitts
burgh, and Penfield, Northwestern.
High class guards were plentiful.
