Johnny Kilbane
N'ew York, Fel. 10. Johnny Dun
dee, the junior lightweight champion,
who recently defeated Joe Benjamin
in llirir IS roiitulcr at Madison Square
tiard'-n. ha, posted with Tex Rick
ard a certified check for $10,000 to
hind a match with Johnny Kilbane,
the featiferweight champion, to be
ioiiRlit at I2(i pounds, 2 o'clock, date
hi eoniist, in accordance with the
Walker hoxiug law.
,1'iindce has repeatedly challenged
K illl-anc to give him a chance to
m'c if he can take the crown from the
Cleveland Irihman, but all to no
avail. It is the junior lightweight
champion's purpose to claim Kil
hane'g title in the event that the
featherweight boss fails to heed his
challenge within the next six months.
The boxing rules of New York state
make it imperative for a champion to
defend his title within six months
after a forfeit is posted by an oppon
ent for a battle.
It is the little Italian's dream to
win three titles before he retires from
the squared circle. Dundee is now
the possessor of the junior light
weight championship. He is now
after the featherweight title and
would also like another crack at
lienny Leonard and his lightweight
crown.

Jack Dempsey to
Wed Bebe Daniels?
By The I'nlversal Service,
Los A.ngeles, Feb. 10. A report
that Jack Dempsey, heavyweight
champion, and Bebe Daniels, motion
picture star, would wed was revived
here today. The report was first
circulated in New York after Demp
sey knocked out Georges Carpentier.
"Miss Daniels is an extremely
charming girl," said Jack tonight.
I've admired her for a long time.
But concerning our prospective mar
riage; don't you think" it proper for
her to announce it, if any announce
ment is to be made?"
Dempsey recently purchased a
$250,000 residence here.
Jack Dempsey Once
Tried to Be Jockey
San Diego, Cal., Feb. 10. Jack
Dempsey recently paid the track
an extended visit and enjoyed
himself immensely. During a vis
it up in the crow's nest on the roof
with the caller and writer, Demp
sey disclosed the fact that at one
time he almost became a jockey.
"It was in the old days of rac
ing at Salt Lake," said the champ,
"and I was a little bit of a punk.
A trainer picked me out as a like
ly looking riding prospect and aft
er a bit of schooling sent me out
to gallop a horse named Joe J.
We hadn't gone 50 yards before
Joe hopped a fence and left me
sprawling on the ground. Right
then and there I decided I'd rath
er talje them on the chin. That,
ended my riding career."

that condition will have to be ab

equaled or beaten, for not once in
a lifetime will jumper be favored
with such conditions as were seen
at the Millrose meet.
First of Major Tijuana Race
Events Scheduled for Sunday;
Fast Field of Runners Entered
San Diego. Cal., Feh. 10. The first of the major Tijuana features the
$10,000 Baja California handicap is down for decision Sunday afternoon.
It will bring to the barrier the most notable field of route goers that has
ever participated in a Tijuana stake.
Be Fr,ank will make it the occasion of his return to active racing He
will defend his western championshrip won in the Coffroth handicap al
most a year ago when he asserted his superiority over the best which
could be found to oppose him.
This season Be Frank has taken
it easy in his attempted comeback
and should reward the Bronx stable
by .hanging his name to a couple of
track records. He has never looked
better in his whole life the? long
summer's vacation having done him
a world of good.
In the Baja- California Be Frank
must cope with a number of high
class riva's. Among them will be
the fast Kentucky colt Planet, and
his stable mates, Furbelow and Bul
let Proof. Tailor Maid has been
saved for this particular spot, while
New Y'ork will be further represent
ed by Regal Lodge, a metropolitan
favorite now cavorting out here in
the interest of E. G. Soulc. Breeze,
East Indian, Star Realm, Coflicld.
Riffle and others of the local turf
stars are destined to enter the com
petition. Then there may be addi
tional foes for the big horse in Lan
tados, which might start consider
ing the inducements the purse offers,
while Slippery Elm and Irish Kiss
may arrive from New Orleans in
time Xi start in the mile and 16th
drive.
The $10,000 purse had started C. B.
Irwin thinking. Irwin is not con
vinced Motor Cop won't go a route.
Hisvictorics at Tijuana have been
easy ones in which he has shown no
semblance of fatigue under punishing
burdens. Irwin is determined to try
I he horse over a distance of ground.
He may pick out the Baja California
as the place where the experiment is
to be made.
In the past two seasons in J. K. L.
Ross colors. Motor Cop was never
tried at further than six furlongs.
Kedwcll didn't think the horse could
be dragged a mile and thought he
had a hard enough time getting
three-quarters. McDaniet evidently
figured the same way. But not Ir
win. It must be said for the Cheyenne
trainer, however, that he has Motor
Cop looking a hundred pounds bet
ter than he did layt summer and that
the late races of the big horse have
been among his best.
