New York, Jan. 9. What was the

major league last summer? Fans
have threshed this question in all its
phases and most of them blame a

which helped, but fans in general
seem to be overlooking the fact that
in all baseball last year, there was
not one first-class major ''league

Lack of staff of even fairly , cap
able, box men threw a handicap on
every major league manager, but
since all were in the same boat, the
odds were even. '

By RAY PEARSON.
Pocatello. Idaho, Jan. 8. (Spe
cial.) Two enraged tiger, vicious,,
(earing and relentless, could not have
produced a more terrific 1 struggle
than the famed featherweight fight
ers of the world, Terry McGovern
and Johnny Kilbane,- as they strug
gled for supremacy with the padded
mitts. Terry McGovern is Irish and
Johnny Kilbane is Irish, and they
say that when the "Irish" of one of
these men from Erin is up, there
is sure to be murder.
What happened in this clash ct
great little men of the ring came as
close to being that as is possible in
boxing. It might be called a "fistic
murder." McGovern was willing to
make it just that when he climbed
through the ropes for battle and so
was Kilbane, but . it was "Terrible
Terry" who accomplished his pur
pose and battered the CIcvelander,
battered him round after round, un
til he battered bim to a spattered
canvass and defeat. The finish came
in the ninth round.
Term "Boxing" Too Mild.
Those who watched this struffcl
of fighters saw a scrap which erased
from, their minds the term "boxing."
It was advertised as a boxing mater
but far too mild is this term fo:
what happened in the Pocatello nn
It was a "fight," in all that word
implies.
It wasn t long after the first eons
started them into action in the initial
round that everybody at the ringside
saw that the battle was to be
struggle a match which meant the
survival of the fittest. It was not
a matter of the number of rounds.
was a matter of just how loner thev
could continue the struggle under

Fury Beats Generalship.
Terrible Terrv. the more sturdv of
me pair ot nara punchine jeather s,
the least clever, knowing just one
way of fighting, fought in just that
one way, and all the cleverness, ring
generalship, and rinitcratt of Kil-
Dane was tutile.
But Kilhane never wnnl.-l haw
hefti in that ring to hear the clang
ot the gong starting the ninth ses
sion had it not been for his clever
ness. Undoubtedly he would have
been groveling in the rosin long be-
tore that, tie miKht have been tin
ished in the second, third, or ' anv
of the following rounds, but he
wasn t, because he resorted to won
dcrful generalship, and saved him
seit irom the damagincs- torce ot
.terrible lerry's bombardments.
But . the finish was inevitable.
Sooner 'or later , Kilbane must
crumple under the withering fire ot
the bov from Brooklyn. That time
came in the ninth round, but from
the third round on it appeared that
almost any session might see - Mc-
Oovern score a knockout, . ,
Rushes With 1 Piston Blows.
McGovern's science, a science that
consists of never ceasing - rtishes,
with both left and right hand shoot
ing to the body and head, and an
ability to take a wallop from his
opponent, was in evidence. He
rushed Kilbane in the first round
and he was rushing him and pump'
ing terrific punches! to - Kilbane's'
body and head when Johnny, ex
hausted from the unequel struggle,
simply folded up and fell to the can
vas. - v
Kilbane was - not completely
knocked out. He was battered to ex
haustion, and, he mi(jht have got to
his feet in that ninth if his head could
have controlled his motions, but his
bodv was too weak for the effort and
he was forced to remain on the floor
while the referee counted the 10 sec
onds which meant the triumph for
McGovern.
Three Knockdowns.
There were three knockdowns and
each time Kilbane was .the boy to
visit the canvas. In the sixth round,
during a terrific bombardment in
the center of the ring:. McGovern
shot a hard rightrwhich caught Cleve
land Johnny on the jaw. That wal
loo lacked sufficient steam to reg
ister a knockout, but it had enough
force to iolt Kilbane off his feet and
he landed in a sittine position.
He took a count of seven that
time, and when he regained his feet
he emoloved detensive tactics ana
lasted until the gong sounded.
Not until the ninth round did' Kil
bane again hit the canvas, and this
time body punches rocked him off
his feet. He took a count or nine
this time, hut he had been punched
to weariness and was ready for the
finishing touches; which - Terrible
Terry applied when Johnny regained
his feet. Terry rushed and punched,
and the weakened Kjlbane irame
gave way. That was the finish. -

Attack of College
Pro Football
Defends Collegians for Playing
By PRANK 0. MENKE.
Great Gosh I
It's happened.
Hid college football coaches have
come right out in opposition to pro
fessional football.
They junt couldn't stand the
sight longer of their students go
ing out, after the college days were
done, and earning as much for play
ing a dozen games as the coaches
get for a while season of coaching.
And so thcyv all gone en record
a being tcarlully and unalterably
opposed to professional football,
while the Western Conference radi
cals have proceeded so far that
they've resolved along tfuee lines:
Any member of a Conference
college team who plays professional
football before graduation day will
lose his varsity letter and. further
more, any football officials who
sets in. such capacity for profes
sional football eamcs will be
barred from officiating hereafter in
conference . games."
Played Pro ball. .
Can you beat it?
Consider . merely the case of
Charlie . Killinger, whose college,
fortunately, is not listed with the
Western Conference, as a sample of
the injustice tltat such a -rule would
provoke.
Killinger. as quarterback for Penn
Stats, established himself as one of
the greatest players of all time.
When State s last same had been
played in the season of 1921, all that
he ever could do actively for Penn
State had been dor. The boy had
put his heart and soul into the task
of making Penn State a wonder
team and he had succeeded. He
brought-to Penn State more laurels
than -the college has ever gathered
together in one season of play.
Soon after the college season was
over, Killinger, who graduates in
June, 'got an , offer to play with a
"pro" team..-,. The exact sum. in
volved is not public property. But
it was said to be $1,000. Killinger
accepted, played the game and got
his $1,000 or whatever it was. .
, Is Coaching Wrong?
Was there anything wrong in that?
Was it any worse for Killinger to
sell his football brains and football
power than if would have been for
him to sell his services in a tempo
rary capacity as a civil engineer, or
a chemist, for a mechanic?
Would it be any more heinous for
"Bo" McMillan of Center to accept
an Offer of $15,000 to play "pro"
football next fall than to accept an
offer of $10,000 to coach a Texas
college next year?
Is it any worse for a collegian to
play professional football after his
college days are over and garner
from $3,000 to $7,000 annually than
it is for him to become a college
roach and perform more work for e
lesser sum of money?
What s the real difference?
Mentors Jealous.
Is there any logical person in th?
world that will prove it's a fair rule
to deprive a collegian of his letter
earned a thousand times nad over
simply because he earned a few
hundred dollars by - playing "pro"
football at a time when he could
play no more for his college?
Quite a few of our noble coaches
perhaps will shriek in wounded pride
ML
WM(2M
---j Southern
Coaches on
Unwarranted-
if it were intimated that they prob
ably are opposing "pro football be
cause they. hate the thought of their
atudents going out and making moru
money in one season than they can
make in two or three years as
coaches. But perhaps such an ac
cusation would not be very far from
the truth.
Why don't the coaches wait until
"nro" football is of proven dishonesty
before they start to condemn it if
the fear of possjbile dishonesty
he only motive that prompts the
frowns they now cast upon the "pro"
pastime?
