Kilbane Loafs.
Johnny Kilbane, boss of the
feathers, has fought two or three
times in two or three years and
Heaven alone knows when he'll ever
battle again. There's too much dan
ger of defeat involved for Kilbane

ing a few clever artifices to duck
tough ones. The lightweight boss,
realizing perhaps that he is not as
good as he used to be. won't fight
in Madison Square Garden. New
York, because he claims he has a
"mad" on with Tex Rickard. He
won't fight anywhere else in New
York because the purse offerings arc
too small.
But lic'I! fight in Jersey, or ifl

if he. outpointed there? He can't
1rj the -title in no-decision states
xcept through knockouts, and Leon
ard cleverly dodges meeting Lew
Tendler or Charlie White, the knock
'cm dead kids, anywhere.
Britten Getting: Old.
Jack Britton has grown old. He's
th Rritton he used to be. But
ciit invr that title in the we'
tcrweight ranks. So rather than take
.-bmrr nn losinz it. he is in com-
r.jntivj. idleness. When he does
fight, he inclines to setups, and in n-
deosion states.
No champion has guarded hi.
holdings more zealously than Johnny
Wiknn. He has fought only a few
limes . since he became titleholder
anrl nn a few of these occasions has
insisted upon having his own referee
at work. The world just now seems
to be full of middleweights who
innt in take a crack at him but
't make the matches.
Jack Dempsey's promise was "111
I an artive . champion." It'll be
' three years in July since he whipped
WiUard. In that time lie has fough:
only three times. In his pre-cham-
; piouship davs he sometimes fought
three battles a week frequently
eight or ten a month.
Dempsey Makes Excuses.
. Dempsey has gone -in for theatri
cal' rather than fistic work, sine;
he dethroned Wiliard. The excuse
is that there is no one for him to
f ght. That was fair enough through
the first year, or so of his kinging.
Rut it's a bit different now.
Wills. Martin. Gibbons, lunney
nd a few others haven t been
whipped by , Dempsey. Brennan
wants another crack at hrm. So does
Fulton. That makes at' least five
rather formidable looking men who
want to fight him. -.
Dempsey may be able to beat the
. entire sextet into early defeat and
then again he may not. Once upon
a time he would have been a five to
one show against any in the group
But no more. For Dempsey of 1922
is not Deniosey of 3919.
Cure Proposed.
- The fact that pugilism now has
s-"x champions who want to do any
thing other than defend their titles,
fflects a deplorable "condition. Aurl
Xthe saddest part of it is that here is
!:o remedy. For there's no rule in
' pugdom which forces a champion to
fight and no rule which defaults his
"title if he fails to indulge in competi
tion. The only cure is the formation of
some national fistic body, having
complete control over the fistic activ
ities of the nation. It could rule that
a titleholder must fight every six
months, or surrender title, which
would then be awarded to the win
der in a series of elimination con
tests among the leading contenders.

When "Dad" Huntington piloted a team known as the "Mclz" a

Bowlers Already Have Entered
Br International
TOLEDO. O., Jan. 14. More than $40,000 will be in the "pot of gold"
to be rolled for in the annual tournament of the American Bowling
congress to be staged here beginning February 27 and extending over
a period of 30 days. ;
Nearly 6.000 pin spillers from the Pacific coast on th; west, the At
lantic coast on the cast, 'Toronto, Can., on the north, and Jacksonville,
Fla., on the south will engage in
ribbon entry event of the great annual indoor classic, it was announced
here today. -
It is the aim of the Toledo Bowl
ing association, s ponsoringvtlie event,
to make this the peer of all in point
of team entry as welf as entertain
ment. It is the hope of the associa
tion that the record of 946 teams, set
by Buffalo last year, will be bettered
by a substantial margin.
This is the fourth time Toledo has
entertained the elite of the tenpin
world, and on two of these occasions
all existing five-men team entry
marks were shattered. . .
In 1916 Toledo put over th.c first
700-team entry, the tot-1 being 756.
The best record prior to this was
that of Chicago, which mustered 596
in 1912. In 1919 a great bid was
made for th; first 800-team entry in
B. C. annals, and, though this
mark was not quite reached, the to
tal was 796. This was a new high-
Part Owner of
Athletics Dies
Philadelphia, Jan. 14. Benjamin J.
Shibe, president of the Philadelphia
American league baseball club, died
today.
Mr. Shibe, who was in his 83d
year, had been ailing for about two
years. About a year ago he was in
an automobile accident, receiving in
juries from which he slowly recov
ered. . ....
Mr. Shibe's financial assistance
made it possible for .the American
league to establish a club in Phila
delphia when it invaded National
league territory in 1901. He was
made president of the club when it
was established and remained in that
position to the time of his death. He
owned, it is understood, 50 per cent
of the club stock, some of which
was transferred to members of his
family. Connie Mack is the owner
of the other 50 per cent
It was also through Mr. Shibe's
aid that there was built here the first
concrete baseball grand stand in the
major leagues. Connie Mack said
today in speaking . of Mr. Shibe's
death: .- . -' ' ;
"Mr. Shibe began to earn his living
as a norse car anver. rie naa a
knack for sewing up a lot of yarn
and making a presentable baseball
for boys on the lots and dnited mto
the business with his brother. The
business prospered, and in 1882" he
became associated with A. J. Reach,
famous ball player in the 70s, tn the
A. J.' Reach company. - Both men
became quite wealthy. Mr. Reach
survives his partner." 5
Mr. Shibe has been given credit
for developing baseballs to their pres
ent standard, ine idea ot ttie coric
center baseballs was attributed to i
him. -' - : " '

Only two weeks remain in which
entry may be made, and already Sec

Bowlers-Omaha, Great
The team always was in the money. It was a consistent winner. But
it never left any records for coming bowlers to try to shatter.
Time and again Omaha has sent teams to the International Bowling
association tournaments and American bowling congress with hopes high,
only to see them struggle and go down in the whirlpool of keen competition.
But on their own alleys, local teams put np a different front. They're
hard to beat. "
When the midwest was held here a few years' ago. Omahans carried
off the bulk of the swag. They even shot over their heads. But away
from home the next year they again failed.
At the last midwest tourney at Dcs Moines, local pin tumblers picked

Barriey Burch is having his troubles along with the rest of the fel
lows who boss baseball clubs. - ,
Barney had engineered a deal to obtain Outfielder Gir.glardi and
Infielder Grantham from Portland Coast league club, but Seattle re
fused to waive on the two players.
As a result the feeling between the Portland and Seattle magnates
hasn't been improved any, and Barney is again forced to join in the
mad scramble for diamond performers.
Few New Faces
in Card Lineup
St Louis, Mo.v Jan. 14. Manager
Branch Rickey of the Cardinals plans
to start the 1922 championship race
with virtually the same team that
finished in third place last year.
. Rickey declared today that he had
made numerous attempts to strength
en his pitching and catching staffs
by trades, but that all deals of any
consequence fell thrrugh. He said
he does not expect to transact any
deals which would have any impor
tant effect ca his club's chances for
the pennant.
The Cardinal pilot asserted that all
his efforts from now until the open
ing of the season would be devoted
to building up his team rom players
on the roster.
No trouble is anticipated by Rickey
in signing members of the club to
contracts for the 1922 season. Sev-j
eral outfielders already have affixed
their signatures to new contracts.

for another season, which his coach,
Jack Ryder, believes will be the
most successful of his' campaigns
thus far. His first appearance under
fire probably will be in the Brook

in January. Cutbill won the event
last year in 2 minutes 16 seconds.
The B. A. A. runners are training

Chicago, Jan. 14. Full enforce

freshmen from athletic teams, was
urged for all colleges and universi
ties in a resolution unanimously
adopted last night by the Association
cf American Colleges.
The resolution was presented by
Charles R. Richmond, president ot
Union college, who declared that its
unanimous adoption would eliminate
the present tendency of schools fo
"buy" prep school athletic star.
"When the ?rep ' rc:ico! stars
realize that they cannot play on thc
collcge team during their first year
at college, they will pay more atten
tion to scholarship in selecting the
college they wish to attend and they
will pay more attention to their
studies after they get there," said Dr,
Richmond.

Iowa Track Fast ,
The Hawkeyes' field has a quar.
ter-niile running track, a 220-yard
straightaway, regulation pits for
jumping and vaulting, and a large
open space for the weight-throw,
ing events. The entire running track
was rebuilt and recurbed last
spring. After the cinders have set
tled in place over the winter and
the track has onct more been lev.
eled and rolled, it is believed that
the runners competing will perform
on a last path that will encourtge
record time.
Pita Overhauled.
The program of preparation like
wise includes some improvements
on the jumping and vaulting pits
so that the beds in which the partic
ipants alight will be in better
shape. Iowa athletic authorities an
ticipate having all arrangements
first-class, especially since this is
the first time Iowa has entertained
the meet and the Hawkeye want
to make good on their contract.

at Chicago and fifth in tl.e confer
ence meet, totaling . more points
than have been scored by the Old
Gold in meets of such standing for
years. f
The best " performers from the

discovered . among last season's
freshmen, and it is expected that
Iowa will again make a good show
ing in competition with the best per
formers in the country.
Whippet Racing New '
Sport Fad; Great
Crowds Turn Out
Whippet racing, a sport centuries
old, leaped into popularity which was
more than that of a mere fad dur
ing the last season in the United
States. Courses for the speedy little
greyhound racers drew great crowds
in California, at East St. Louis, 111., uj
various southern localities and most .
recently .in Long Island.
About a generation pgo there was
a wave of interest in the dog racers,
but the wealthy backers who took it
up as a lad dropped the sport-as
quickly and it faded from the oublic
ken.
Gilligan's Tommy, a white strioed
flyer owned by James Gilligan of
Lawrence, Mass., is one of the best
known whippets in the country, hav
ing fractured speed records on various
tracks. Other stars are Barberryhill
Flyer and Barberryhill Dawn, the
property of Bayard Warren of Balti
more. . Gilligan's Tommy holds a
record of defeating the "best racers of
England, sweeping the boards there
last year.
