KILBANE QUITS
GOOD
(By United Press)
NEW YORK. Aur. 13. — Johnny Kil
bane, according to Jimmy Dunn,
friend and manager of the world's
featherweight champion for a number
of years, never will fight another bat
tle. The words Johnny spoke when
a friend of his was killed In an Ohio
ring are about to come true.
Kilbane promised then that he never
would right any more, but the lure
of a fight with Freddie Welsh, then
the world's lightweight champion, and
the added inducement of a battle with
Benny Leonard, made him break over.
Kilbane declared after the bout with
Leonard that he would like to have
another chance. In six months, he
said, he would try again if Leonard
would give him the opportunity. The
probable truth Is, however, that Kil
bane has hung up his gloves for all
time. There remains no creditable
featherweight for him to battle; his
ambition for conquering two boxing
records has been stifled. He has
made lots • of money and saved It.
There would be nothing surprising If
he never fought again.
The question of a probable match
for Leonard arises since he has beaten
the man believed to have had the
best chance of them all against him.
In all the lightweights there is scarce
..i_ _ —
ly one who measures high enough to
provide a real championship go with
the marvellous Hebrew. The choice
undoubtedly lies between Frankie Cal
lahan and Joe Welling, with odds fav
oring the latter. Welling Is a cool,
clever boxer and a hard puncher. Cal
lahan is a hard fighter and one of the
toughest boys the game has ever seen.
Either of these boys would give
Leonard something of an argument. It
is doubtful if he could stop Callahan
inside ten rounds, although he would
outpoint him. Welling has a chance
,to outpoint the champion In a short go.

INTENSIVE FISHING BEING
CARRIED ON IN ALASKA.
The utilization of the mud shark
and hair seal for their skin, oil and hi
products illur.tratos the new and inten
sive era of fishing in Alaska. Time
was when the fur Beal represented the
total value of those vast waters. Then
slowly developed the canned salmon
industry, and this was followed by the
fresh halibut, and in turn the herring,
smoked or cured salmon and shell
fish. Alaska clams are now in de
mand and the annual pack is heavy.
With the heretofore overlooked hair
seal and mud shark furnishing oil and
a fine substitute for leather, the value
of Alaska’s fishing output will be
greatly increased. The hair sea! in
i’rince William Sound Is a menace to
the salmon, and their eradication had
been discussed. Their value had been
overlooked. Now it appears that their
killing will remove a nuisance and aid
the salmon fishers while their oil and
skins are worth considerable.

GOVERNMENT 8URVEYS 8HIPS;
MAY COMMANDEER THEM,
Representatives of the navy have
been making a survey of all the avail
able Alaska and California boats, with
the idea of commandeering some of
the vessels for hospital or transport
service. In the case of Alaska, some
of the vessels which are tied up in the
winter could well be spared during
that period, but it Is doubtful If the
government would want to requisition
such ships for a limited time, and
after the spring rush opens nevt year,
such ships would again be badly need
ed for maintenance of the service.
Vessels operating out of Havel and
Portland have also been surveyed and
it is possible that some of the Cali
fornia steamships will also be taken
However, the matter is not very seri
ous as there will be enough ships left
to properly handle the traffic.
