TAKE ON THREE
(By United Press)
NKW YORK, April 11. — Johnny
Kilbane, the champion featherweight,
having beaten all the featherweights
they can dig up for him, has been
trying for a long time to get a crack
at the topnotch lightweights with but
little success. So just to show what
a good fellow he is, and what a whale
of a scrapper he is, today issued a defi
to the three best who claim light
weight class, and offered to meet
them all in the same night.
He began with Freddie Welsh and
went right down to Benny Leonard
and Richie Mitchell, the two latter
having been extremely persistent in
telling what they would do to Kil
bane if the opportunity ever offered.
However, there is the cutest little
joker imaginable in Johnny’s chal
lenge that tempers his boldness to a
considerable extent. He specified in
his death-defying edict that he wanted
each of these men to weigh in at 133
pounds ringside, which long nas been
recognized as the legitimate light
weigni pounaage.
"They aren't lightweights," Johnny
announces, "and they won't take ;ny
offer. However, I am willing to fight
any of the three or all of them at any
old weight they name, one a night
And I'll do the best job of houseclean
ing in the lightweight division this
country has seen for many a long
day.”
The champion featherweight is a
most awful lonesome boxer. Instead
of all the boxers in his class following
him around the country and clamoring
for matches, an experience most of
the scrappers of high rank have, they
all get out of his way when he starts
traveling. A great many of them have
felt the full force of that deadly right,
and more of them have heard tales
of it that fill them with respect.
So Johnny is rather forced into it.
If he can ever get Welsh's consent to
meet Mm in a ring the fight fans in
this nation will wear out the railroad
ties getting to the scene of the mill.

MILE IRELAND PROSPERS
POORER CLASS SUPPERS
(By Associated Press)
DUBLIN, Ireland, April 11. — While
the Irish farmer is prosperous beyond
precedent and wages in many trades
are higher than ever before, the con
dition of the poorer classes in the
cities is in many cases worst than for
years. “At the present moment the
artisans and the poor in Dublin are
reduced to a state of privation that
causes a great feeling of alarm and
dismay,” said the lord mayor at a
meeting of the corporation this week.
Members of the corporation com
plained that the work of reguilding
the city, which had been expected to
do much to relieve destitution, was
not going forward as had been
planned. It had not been found pos
sible, he explained, to import the ma
terial necessary for the work of re
building, although the ministry of mu
nitions had promised to facilitate it
in every way.
A deputation was appointed to wait
upon the chief secretary and impress
him with the great need of employ
ment, especially in the building
trades.

SOLDIERS REPORTED DEAD
CANNOT DRAW PAT DUE
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, April 11. — The latest
group of British prisoners returned
from Germany includes three "dead"
soldiers, that is, men who were long
ago officially reported dead and have
been so entered in the records of the
war office. For a fortnight the three
soldiers have been paying dally visits
to Whitehall in an endeavor to per
suade the government that they are
alive and entitled to collect their back
pay. The war office declares they
are dead as far as the payrolls are
concerned, and must remain so. Only
a special grant from parliament can
improve their situation.

Gossip About Events of National
Importance and the Persons
Who Are In the Head
Liner Classes.
(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCI8CO, April 11 — Chas.
J. "Chick" Evans, Jr., national open
amateur golf champion, who has Just
announced that he will retire from
active competition for titular honors
after the close of the season, will do
so because of the demands made on
I his time over which he has no con
trol.
"ICvans says he has been attempting
for several years to devote less time
to the game and more to his business,
but has found this impossible, as long
as he is seeking championship honors.
He says that an athlete in any line
of sport, which places him in the pub
lic eye, is more or less the servant
of the followers of that sport, and ho
finds it difficult to refuse the many
invitations extended to him by the
clubs whenever he visits the various
sections of the country.
According to the champion, golf is
a business initself, even for the ama
teur, and if he is continuously com
peting in championship events, the
expense involved runs up Into impres
sive figures.
Word comes from Kansas City that
there is considerable speculation
among amateur sport followers there,
over the possibility of a track and
field meet in that city in May with
teams from California and Leland
Stanford, Jr., competing against Mis
souri and Kansas. Tentative appro
val of the plan already has been ob
tained, but a doubt still exists as to
whether the proposed arrangements
will be consummated.
The plans took form at the recent
indoor meet between Missouri and
Kansas. The rival coaches — Schulte
of Missouri and Mamilton of Kansas
—each has been asked to arrange a
dual meet with the athletes of the two
coast schools. The proposal of a joint
meet was considered favorably.
The two middle western teams, it Is
thought, could turn out a well bal
anced squad. Missouri, strong in
hurdles, and weights and relay, would
share almost equally with the fast
Kansas long distance runners and cap
able jumpers and vaulters.

of next year's basketball team of the
Washington State College. The W.

has been a member of the last three
varsity teams.
Joseph McGinnity, manager of the
Butte Northwestern league team, who
has been busy this winter searching
new baseball material, will lead his

Northwestern's season will open on

McGinnity will have a galaxy of
pitchers from which to select his
staff. He will be In shape himself to

Intercollegiate shoots may become
as much of a pastime as football,
baseball and other athletic events if
other southern California educational
institutions follow the lead of Occi
dental college, Los Angeles, which haB
organized a rifle and revolver club
with thirty members. Members of the
club believe the time is not far dis
tant when a letter will be awarded
for shooting as well as for participa
tion in athletic events. The club has
arranged to hold shoots on the Seven
Hills range at Glendale, Cal.
The Los Angeles city council has
been asked to lend Its moral and fin
ancial support to a proposed municipal
rifle club. The matter was submitted
to the city authorities by E. E. Harrl
man, a rifle club enthusiast, who has
suggested the city establish a munici
pal rifle range for the club.
