Johnny Kilbane Will
Meet Johnny Griffith
CHICAGO. May 50. After nil h hnrA
words dlrcctod nt Johnny Kllbnno for his
timid matchmaking', tho featherweight
champion has finally signed to meet a
gtmulno lightweight at Canton. O.. on
July 4, Ills opponent will bo Johnny
unrfith, a boxer of considerable icputa
tlon throughout the middle wei. Ti-n-
st'ino time Kllbanu has been threatening
to break Into tho higher division, hut
apparently his' nerve always failed him
at the last moment. Perhaps he will
again change his mind before the tlmo
arrives to enter tho ring with Griffith,
Mho is reported to be both fast and
clavsr.
Possibly if he dqes go through with tha
bout nnd meta with success ho will take
more chances In tho future. In that case
he may at lust become a popular cham
pion. There Is no particular reason why
tho shjfty Clevelander should not be able
to outpoint the various socond-rate light
weights. Abe Attell found the heavier
men easy to handle In short bouts.

English and French
Discussing Coming
Oarpentier Fight
NEW YORK. May 30.-Ever since the
Georges Carpontler-Gunboat Smith match
was first broached, speculation has been
rife In England and France regarding tho
merits of the Amorlcon whlto hope Many
nnd various nre the opinions set forth.
Apparently the French fans have been
following au..boat's career closely, as
they appear to have formed n more ac
curate estimate than that of the English
critics.
In England Carpentlcr's chances nro
rather favored. Gunboat Is snld to bo
extremely slow nf action, although his
hitting power Is admitted to be above tho
ordinary. It Is thought that ha will not
bo nblo to land on the clever French
man. In Paris, however. Gunboat's prowess la
rated highly. Carpcntier Is adVlsed to
keAp away from tho American and to
lely upon his skill and footwork to avoid
Smith's datigoroua blows which all admit
will quickly put an end to Carpentlcr's
ambitions, If they land cleanly. H Is pre
dicted that should tho fury ot tho battle
get tho bettor of Cnrpentlor's Judgment,
causing him to mix It. ho will bo knocked
through tho ropes by the American's
savage ontlauglit.

"I was looking through the port hole.
In my cabin amidships," said Band Ser
geant Fowler, "when t saw a big black
shape loom tip out ot the darkness. It
seemed only a few feot away.
'Then came the Jolt; It could not ba
called n crash, because It was more ot a
grinding sensation. Before I realized
what had happened my cabin began to
till with water. I rushed rut of the cabin
and up the main companlonway. I saw a
girl with a baby In her arms and a little
child following her. Tho girl begged me
to put a lifebelt on her, so I stopped long
enough -to do this."
Shin Listed Quickly.
Ry this tlmo Fowler had reached the
deck, he said, the ship was listing badly
and the passengers had to cling to the
rail to keep from going over the side.
Fowler Jumped.
"I wont down until I thought my lungs
would burst," he said, "Bodies bumped
Into me, One man threw his army

wnlkod past about 1:30 and said, 'It Is
n nlco night, but It looks to mo as though
n fog Is coming. You never know how
soon n fog will drop on you at this part
of the river.' "
When the crash came, Smart says, he
saw Captain Kendall on the brldgo. Ht
was holding onto the rati, shouting
orders to tho crew, leaning over and
waving his hands. He heard him say,
"Keep your heads, there, and don't get
excited."
When a boat dropped sideways Into tho
water, the captain seemed to realize that
tho liner was lost, for he shouted! "Hurry
up. there, everybody. There. Is not a
minute to lose. Get the stewards through
tho corridors. It thero are doors locked,
break them In. Got the people out and
don't forget that the women and children
must come first."
"Ho spoke, through a megaphone," said
Smart, "but there was so much scream
ing and moaning that his voice was
drowned. But he stuck to his post to the
very last
"When r got onto the Lady Evelyn I
saw hint stretched out there and they
were giving him brand y. When ho was
able to speak, he looked around and
asked, 'Whero'a the ship?' A. passertgtr,
who looked like a doctor, told nlrri tho
boat hud gone down. On hearing this,
Captain Kendall burled hla face. In a
pleco of tarpaulin nnd cried as though
hla heart would break."

Americana and other foreigner In tha
