CENTRAL PREPARING FOR STEELTON AND TECH-WOLGAST WINNING FAVOR JOHNNIE WOLGAST IS FAVORITE HERE Lancaster Fighter "Will Meet Maguire at Mehring's Show Tomorrow Night Johnnie Wolgast. the Cadillac, Mich., and Lancaster boxer, a brother of Ad Wolgast, ex-featherweight cham- pion of the world, is fast climbing up the tistie ladder and at present is swamped with "war orders." Wolgast will appear in this city to-morrow night at Billy Mehring's show in the Chestnut Street Auditorium. His op- ponent will be Frankie Maguire, the Williamsport lighter, who is a favorite here. Wolgast made a hit with the local fans several weeks ago at his tirst ap- pearance here in a bout with Kid Al- bert, of Frederick, Md., the lighting Wop. Wolgast won the bout in such a decisive manner he was booked for a return match with Maguire. He was to have met Johnnie Gill last week in York, but owing to a slightly dis- located shoulder he was forced to call the bout oft. Wolgast Busy Scrapper Wolgast is haltered in the stable of Frankie at Lancaster, who su- pervises Hiis training and handles the managerial reins. The Lancaster pro- moter-manager is being flooded with requests for his boy and Wolgast's next fight after his bout here will be in Lancaster with Battling Larry Ryan, of New York, on March 26. He has also been matched with Johnnie Gill at a a later date. Wolgast made such a hit with the Philadelphia fans sev- eral weeks ago that several Quaker City promoters are bartering for his services.

SOMEBODY LIED] I M DY'A lANTA NICE LITTLE CARTOON OnOOROWN? AIL RlfrHT-SENDUS AH IDEA FOR SQWWOtftf LIEO-KELLUSE LfT-AW miW THE ORIGINAL "yporili^ki <cy Grant/and J2Jce Copyright, 1917. by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune) They have awarded 110 fluttering pennants to Ohio soil in the 45-year span of Major League play, but there is one mark that Ohio holds for all eternity. Complete returns to the answer developed this season when Christy Mathew- son started south as a manager?not a pitcher. This may be taken to indicate that Matty lias about completed his task. And at the end of his long road ?a wonderful journey of sixteen years?he still stands 256 games back of Cy Young, the Paoli Phenom. ' Cy was a Buckeye product, and his mark of 819 games and 508 victories will stand until this narrow world has gone up in pale blue smoke. For if Christy Mathewson. with all his care and cunning and endurance, could only come within 256 games of Young's mark?you can ligure for yourself what chance any one else carries. Par rtoyoiul All Competition The wonder of Cy's mighty mark is the vast span it extends beyond :J1 com- petition. In affairs where the best are in battle over a long whirl of years, the result is usually close. But this wasn't even a race. A margin of 256 games means at least six years' work?at an average of forty-eight games a year?which is beyond the average. As great as Matty was, Cy's list of victories was almost as long as Matty's total starts. Matty lias worked in 563 gam,es to date. Young won 508 games. Matty finished 136 victories back of Cy, despite a record that was the wonder of the nation for sixteen years. Johnson's Chance The wonder of Old Cy can be shown in comparing his record with Walter Johnson's chance. Johnson has been working like a horse for ten years. In that space he has run up 41S games. Yet to equal Young's mark he must still'work in over 400 ball games?or put in another ten years at the pace he is holding now. And Johnson would be an ideal choice for a long "distance mark. He began his major league work when he was but twenty years old. He is big and strong with the easiest pitching motion in the game. Everything in the world was in his favor. Yet, although classed as a veteran to-day, he still tinds 401 games between his present mark and Cy's record. Johnson is now just thirty years old. It is not beyond all reason that he may beat Young's mark?but you know where the betting would be if any one cared to start an argument. 'Their First Six Years A citizen with an inquisitive turn of mind desires to know how the records of Matty and Alexander compare for their tirst six years?Alex having com- pleted only this many seasons. Matty, his tirst six seasons, won 159 games and lost eighty-two. Alexander to date has won 160 games and lost 75. In his tirst two seasons, however. Matty was working with a tail-end team in a state of almost complete dilapidation, where no one but a hero could win. After McGraw took charge Matty did much better work. His record for the tirst six seasons under John J. was 179 victories and seventy-nine defeats. Matty's pitching mark for sixteen years Is .661. Alexander's for six years is .681. The Philly premier has held his own to date, with a shade to spare in a percentage way. but whether he can. go ten more years around the .660 is an- other guess. Alexander is also thirty years old, the same age that Walter Johnson, with over 400 games to his credit already, is sure to beat this mark Big Corral before the Nebraskan finally broke in. In thinking of Iron Men one first turns to Joe McGinity and Ed Walsh. Yet neither worked in half as many as Cy Young?and nothing like as many games as Mathewson. They were Iron Men for several years, but the rust arrived long before they had been over the long trail. _ Only five slabmen so far have worked in over 500 games. They are Cy Young( Christy Mathewson, Yic Willis, Jack Powell and Red Ehret. Walter Johnson, with over 400 games to his credit already, is sure to beat this mark and he will undoubtedly tinish second to Young when the total count is in. Johnson should be good for at least 275 more contests ?enough to move him up around the 700-gaine crest. Alexander must work 217 more games to beat the 500 mark?and as this means only five more years, he, too, should take his place with the long-distance mandarins of the mound. _ The schedule committee of the New . York State League will meet to-mor- ' row night in this city, when the final j playing schedule will be endorsed. Man- ] ager Cockill, of the local team, is ex- 1 peeted to arrive in this city late this afternoon and will spend the remain- j der of the week here attending to bus- iness of the loi'al team. President J. H. Farrell has submitted j to the various team owners tentative j schedules, to be voted upon. The man- ' agers have gone over the matter care- ! fully and will be in a position to-mor- I row to complete tinal arrangements of j the league. Kinu: Mny He I.out to l.ovaln It is rumored that King, the out-I fielder, who was loaned to the Harris- j Meyer and Waldocker Break Bowling Record Grand Rapids, Mich., March 20. ?\u25a0 Another world's record showed up in j the American Bowling Congress! tournament here yesterday at noon j when Rudi Meyer and Louis Waldock- | er, of St. Louis, shot 511 in their open- i ing game in the doubles. Not even the ! terrific start or a good second game of i 413 proved enough to tumble the lead- ers, Peachey and McCaughan, of In- i dianapolis. The Mound City men j scored 1256 for seventh place. Unsteadiness in the final game. 1 where the pair had 332 when they j needed sixty pins more, cost them the 1 lead. The total of the Birk Brothers, of Chicago, who, with 3061, lead the five- ! xnan teams, however, is so high that j STATE'S FORESTS HIT HARD BY FIRE Figures Compiled Show That the Seourge of the Forest Is Still Here The report covering the spring and | fall forest tire seasons of 1916, issued I to-day by the Pennsylvania Depart- j ment of Forestry, shows that while al- most as many forest tires burned in ! Pennsylvania in 1916 as in 1915, the, areas burned over was less than half that of 1915, and the timber loss was, only a trifle over one-fourth as large. In 1915, 1,101 forest fires burned over 336,635 acres, with a resulting timber' loss of $55#,700; in 1916, 1,013 fires burned 154,752 acres, and the tiijiber loss was only $236,200. Less than i three per cent, of the area in tlie State forests was burned over in 1916. The officers of the hew Bureau of! Forest Protection do not claim sole J credit lor this remarkable showing, i They say that it was due to a com- bination of favorable weather condi- { tions, better fire warden service and j awakening public sentiment against I forest fires. The fact that almost the same number of fires as burned In j 1915 covered ttfty per cent, less forest land does show, however, that the re- >rsanization of the fire warden system was the largest single factor in cutting j down the loss. As usual, railroads and campers; head the list of causes, with 270 and { 182 fires respectively to their dis-\u25a0: credit. Brush burning on dry days' caused fifty-five tires; ninety-five were! of incendiary origin; carelessly con-1 ducted lumbering operations caused forty-four; ten were caused by light- i ning, and forty-five were caused by j miscellaneous agencies, such as chil-1 dren playing with matches. The, causes of 312 fires are unknown. As a further commentary on the efficiency of the fire warden system, it! is noted that 103 fires burned less than | one acre each, and 765 were extin-' guished before they covered a liundred acres. Over half of the damage was i done by twenty-eight iires of over 1,-1 000 acres each, which burned a total of 80,000 acres in sixteen counties, i The largest of these fires occurred ii Blair, Cameron. Clearfield, Hunting-! don, Luzerne and Potter counties, j Blair. Luzerne and Potter are tied for f the doubtful honor of being first on 1 this list, each paving had a lire of over I 10.000 acres. Xo fires were reported from Alle-! Beaver, Delaware. Erie, Greene, j Lawrence, Montour, Philadelphia or' Washington counties, but small tires t burned even in such agricultural coutr- j ties as Bucks, Chester and Montgom- 1 ery. Blair county suffered most se-1 verely, with 18.000 acres burned. Al- j most 16.000 acres went up in smoke! in Luzerne county, and 13,400 acres j were burned in Potter county. The; heaviest money loss occurred in Clin- j ton county, where 6,700 acres, valued at almost $25,000, were burned over. As indicating how variable weather conditions affect the forest lire seasons | it is interesting to note that fires oc-1 curred in every month of 1916 except February. Almost fifty per cent, of thei fires burned between August 1 and De- | cember 15, which is very unusual. In i 1915 nearly ninety per cent, of the' fires occurred before June 1. Prac-1 tically half of the fall fires in 1916 ! occurred during one very dry week in the early part of December. Further changes are being made i from time to time in the list of fire i wardens. The State will be thoroughly i covered township by township, and j wardens will be appointed wherever there is enough forest area to justify appointment. The greater part of the State has been covered in this way al- ready. and over 1.500 wardens are now on the roster, In addition to the force of foresters and gangers. Park Tennis Club Plans Busy Season , The Harrisburg Park Tennis Club has launched a membership cam- paign and plans are being laid for j one of the busiest seasons in the his- tory of the organization. Representa- : tive teams will be entered in from fifteen to twenty tournaments, accord- ing to arrangements. Teams in all sections of the State I are being considered and applications have already been made for tourna- ! ment dates with Marietta, Reading. Middletown, Huinmelstown, Carlisle, Lebanon Valley College, Dickinson College and other teams. Applications for membership will be considered at the meeting of the ! elu t> to be held in the office of the Parks and Public Playground De- partment in the Calder building on i April 2. They can be given to any member of the committee, which is ; composed by James K. Jackson, Ray Clark, Glenwood Beard, Mrs. John ) Runkle and Ruth Starry, or sent to Miss Anna Cubbison, the club treas- urer, in the Park Department offices. I.KWI.STOWX GIRL SHOT j Lewis town, Pa? March 20. Miss ! Lillian Huffnagle, aged IS years, who lives with her brother Walter and his I family at Valley and Pine streets, with | her left arm shattered by a bullet , from a revolver fired at close range was taken to the Harrisburg Hospital 1 last Sunday for treatment. The members of the household were un- willing to talk about the affair and I the shooting was not known until last evening. The story of the girl is that she was sitting in the front room of | the house about 10.30 Sunday night j reading, the other members of the household having retired. Hearing a i noise at the rear of the house as j though some person was trying to j break in, the girl became frightened land securing a 32-caliber revolver, her | own property, started to Investigate. I The weapon was accidentallv dis- charged, the bullet ploughing its way through her arm. Walter, the brother, hearing the shot, came downstairs j quickly and. finding the girl uiKon- scious. summoned Dr. Smiley, who stopped the flow of blood and "revived the girl. She was then taken to the | hospital. German Casualties For War Fixed at 4,148,163 i ' Tendon.

SCHEDULE COMMITTEE TO MEET TOMORROW CENTRAL PREPARING STE ELTON CLAS TECH-CENTRAL Undismayed by the results of thet first Steelton and Tech games, Central High is preparing Jo wind up her baa- i ketball season with two important tri- umphs. Steelton will oppose the Blue 1 and Gray quintet on Chestnut Street Hall floor Friday night and a stiff battle Is expected. Captain Hilton and his colleagues intend to stago a strong conie-Jiack, but the down-river j bunch are In tine form. Central llad OfT Season Central has had more or less of an off season, this being partly due to the loss of two of the regulars for-a num- ber of games. By winning from Steel- ton High Friday and by , defeating I Tech next week Central would tie for I local scholastic supremacy and would j probably play post-season games. An exceptionally large student dele- gation from both scjiools is expected Friday night under the direction of : the cheer leaders. .Special cheering practices are being held at Central High. The Blue and Gray line-up will' include Hilton, Martz, Gregory, Frank t and Fields. SHANNON TOY FOR . JOHNNIE KILBANE Champion Allows Califomian to Stay the Limit; Hangs on to Save Self Philadelphia, Pa., March 20. Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham- pion, had no trouble beating Eddie Shannon, of California, in the windup at the Olympia last night. The bout was tame and uninteresting, as it was evident after the secfind round that Shannon was only a play toy for Kil- bane, who could handle him as he pleased, and he did not please to be rough with him. The first two rounds were occupied by Kilbane in sizing Shannon up. Johnny fiddled and feinted Eddie in the most bewildering way, the Califomian evidently being afraid to lead or take any chances. \\ hen Kilbane would lead, Shannon would grab him and hold on like grim death. In the third round Kilbane had solved Shannon's style, and he walked over to the visitor, and sending a hard right to Eddie's jaw. he dropped the latter like a log. Shannon took the count, and when he got up, Kilbane went after him. Then Shannon grab- bed Kilbane and held him tight. A bit of wrestling followed, in which Kil- bane, in trying to shake Shannon loose, threw him to the mat. In the next round Kilbane staggered Shannon to his knees with a right-hander to the side of the head. Then Johnny evidently finding that , Shannon was in the ring to try and stay the six rounds took things easv and he merely feinted and fooled around with Shannon for the balance of the contest. In the latter part of the fourth round, when Shannon found that Kilbane was not trying to hurt I him. he began leading and landed two or three body punches with his right hand, at which Kilbane laughed heart- ily, as there was little steam in them. 1 In the tifth and sixth rounds it was 1 about the same thing. Kilbane was | intent on getting an early train out | of ,the city, and lie was paying more I attention to the time he would have . to get through than to anything that | might take place In the ring. He would laugh at Shannon's clumsy at- tempts to lead, and then would get In close and locking Eddie up would push his head away with one hand while pretending to hit him with the other. Shannon got in several blows to the body, but lie spent the most of his time in clinching with his oppon- ent. In the preliminary bouts. Bobby Reynolds beat Patsey Broderick. A1 Fox had the better of A 1 Wagner: Billv Mannin beat Jimmy Briggs and Billy Hines had the better x>f Battling Mur- ray. over whom he had a big advant- age in weight. Kilbane boxed Tim Droney of Lan- caster at York several weeks ago. . burg team late last season by Connie Mack, will be t lost to the locals this : season. King is playing good ball with ! the White Klephants 011 their spring 1 training trip and while It Is not likely that he will land a regular berth with the Macks he will no doubt be retain- ed as a utility placer. The local man- ; ager has placed an appeal for him ; should he be farmed out and numerous I other clubs are after his services. Sunday ball will be played in Scran- -1 ton. according to the latest reports. ' The Miners' moguls have leased a park I just outside the city limits, half way 1 between Throop and Dickson City. Manager Coughlin intends to secure big I league teams to ploy on open Sunday | dates. the officials here do not think any of ; the clubs yet to play has much chance to pass it. Henry Peachey and Frank ; McCaughan, of Indianapolis, top the 1 doubles with 1314, and Otto Kalluscli, lot' Rochester, is high in the individuals j with 698. | One of the surprises of the present 1 tournament is the way Henry Ed- wards' 1851 is holding the lead in the all-events. Several strong attempts at ; b' s mark have been made, only to see a poor tinish stop them. I.ECTI'RE ON TEMPERANCE I New Cumberland, Pa., March 20. ! The Rev. J. R. Hutchinson gave an illustrated tefperance lecture in Trin- ity United Brethren Church on Sun- . day, which was greatly enjoyed by all : who heard St. It was announced yesterday that Ilia second game between Central and Tech will be played on the Chestnut Street Auditorium floor on Thursday night, March 29. The contest was to have been played on the Armory iloor, the home cage of the Technical live, but owing to the large attendance the up- town floor waitlil not be lurge enough. The Tech luds were rather reluctant to transfer the contest, but at lust gave their consent. The game was originally scheduled to take place on March 30, but the Iloor could not be secured for that night. The work of the Blue and Gray co-icd team has been of especial merit this season, it being one of the best ever witnessed by the Central girls. Practically every game has been won and representative teams have been met from the best lilkli schools and seminaries in the state. This gives the Forster street sirls a logical claim to the state championship, on an equal basis with the strong Hassett co-ed five of this city. LOCAL BOWLERS PLAN BIG EVENT Open Duckpin Tournament to Start Here March 26; Open to All Harrisburg bowling enthusiasts have arranged an open duckpin tournament, to be held in this city, starting on Mon- day, March' 26.

"yporili^ki<cy Grant/and J2Jce

Copyright, 1917. by the Tribune Association (New York Tribune)They have awarded 110 fluttering pennants to Ohio soil in the 45-year span

of Major League play, but there is one mark that Ohio holds for all eternity.Complete returns to the answer developed this season when Christy Mathew-

son started south as a manager?not a pitcher.This may be taken to indicate that Matty lias about completed his task.

And at the end of his long road ?a wonderful journey of sixteen years?hestill stands 256 games back of Cy Young, the Paoli Phenom. '

Cy was a Buckeye product, and his mark of 819 games and 508 victorieswill stand until this narrow world has gone up in pale blue smoke. For ifChristy Mathewson. with all his care and cunning and endurance, could onlycome within 256 games of Young's mark?you can ligure for yourself whatchance any one else carries.

Par rtoyoiul All Competition

The wonder of Cy's mighty mark is the vast span it extends beyond :J1 com-petition.

In affairs where the best are in battle over a long whirl of years, the resultis usually close.

But this wasn't even a race. A margin of 256 games means at least sixyears' work?at an average of forty-eight games a year?which is beyondthe average. As great as Matty was, Cy's list of victories was almost as longas Matty's total starts. Matty lias worked in 563 gam,es to date. Young won508 games. Matty finished 136 victories back of Cy, despite a record that wasthe wonder of the nation for sixteen years.

Johnson's ChanceThe wonder of Old Cy can be shown in comparing his record with Walter

Johnson's chance.Johnson has been working like a horse for ten years. In that space he has

run up 41S games. Yet to equal Young's mark he must still'work in over 400ball games?or put in another ten years at the pace he is holding now. AndJohnson would be an ideal choice for a long "distance mark. He began hismajor league work when he was but twenty years old. He is big and strongwith the easiest pitching motion in the game. Everything in the world was inhis favor. Yet, although classed as a veteran to-day, he still tinds 401 gamesbetween his present mark and Cy's record.

Johnson is now just thirty years old. It is not beyond all reason that hemay beat Young's mark?but you know where the betting would be if anyone cared to start an argument.

'Their First Six Years

A citizen with an inquisitive turn of mind desires to know how the recordsof Matty and Alexander compare for their tirst six years?Alex having com-pleted only this many seasons.

Matty, his tirst six seasons, won 159 games and lost eighty-two. Alexanderto date has won 160 games and lost 75.

In his tirst two seasons, however. Matty was working with a tail-end teamin a state of almost complete dilapidation, where no one but a hero could win.

After McGraw took charge Matty did much better work. His record forthe tirst six seasons under John J. was 179 victories and seventy-nine defeats.Matty's pitching mark for sixteen years Is .661. Alexander's for six years is.681. The Philly premier has held his own to date, with a shade to spare in apercentage way. but whether he can. go ten more years around the .660 is an-other guess. Alexander is also thirty years old, the same age that WalterJohnson, with over 400 games to his credit already, is sure to beat this markBig Corral before the Nebraskan finally broke in.

In thinking of Iron Men one first turns to Joe McGinity and Ed Walsh.Yet neither worked in half as many as Cy Young?and nothing like as manygames as Mathewson. They were Iron Men for several years, but the rustarrived long before they had been over the long trail.

_

Only five slabmen so far have worked in over 500 games. They are CyYoung( Christy Mathewson, Yic Willis, Jack Powell and Red Ehret. WalterJohnson, with over 400 games to his credit already, is sure to beat this markand he will undoubtedly tinish second to Young when the total count is in.Johnson should be good for at least 275 more contests ?enough to move himup around the 700-gaine crest. Alexander must work 217 more games to beatthe 500 mark?and as this means only five more years, he, too, should take hisplace with the long-distance mandarins of the mound.

The schedule committee of the New .York State League will meet to-mor- 'row night in this city, when the final jplaying schedule will be endorsed.

Grand Rapids, Mich., March 20. ?\u25a0Another world's record showed up in jthe American Bowling Congress!tournament here yesterday at noon jwhen Rudi Meyer and Louis Waldock- |er, of St. Louis, shot 511 in their open- iing game in the doubles. Not even the !terrific start or a good second game of i413 proved enough to tumble the lead-ers, Peachey and McCaughan, of In- idianapolis. The Mound City men jscored 1256 for seventh place.

Unsteadiness in the final game. 1where the pair had 332 when they jneeded sixty pins more, cost them the 1lead.

STATE'S FORESTSHIT HARD BY FIRE

Figures Compiled Show Thatthe Seourge of the Forest

Is Still Here

The report covering the spring and |fall forest tire seasons of 1916, issued Ito-day by the Pennsylvania Depart- jment of Forestry, shows that while al-most as many forest tires burned in !Pennsylvania in 1916 as in 1915, the,

areas burned over was less than halfthat of 1915, and the timber loss was,only a trifle over one-fourth as large.In 1915, 1,101 forest fires burned over336,635 acres, with a resulting timber'loss of $55#,700; in 1916, 1,013 firesburned 154,752 acres, and the tiijiberloss was only $236,200. Less than ithree per cent, of the area in tlieState forests was burned over in 1916.

The officers of the hew Bureau of!Forest Protection do not claim sole Jcredit lor this remarkable showing, iThey say that it was due to a com-bination of favorable weather condi- {tions, better fire warden service and jawakening public sentiment against Iforest fires. The fact that almost thesame number of fires as burned In j1915 covered ttfty per cent, less forestland does show, however, that the re->rsanization of the fire warden systemwas the largest single factor in cutting jdown the loss.

As usual, railroads and campers;head the list of causes, with 270 and {182 fires respectively to their dis-\u25a0:credit. Brush burning on dry days'caused fifty-five tires; ninety-five were!of incendiary origin; carelessly con-1ducted lumbering operations causedforty-four; ten were caused by light- ining, and forty-five were caused by jmiscellaneous agencies, such as chil-1dren playing with matches. The,causes of 312 fires are unknown.

As a further commentary on theefficiency of the fire warden system, it!is noted that 103 fires burned less than |one acre each, and 765 were extin-'guished before they covered a liundredacres. Over half of the damage was idone by twenty-eight iires of over 1,-1000 acres each, which burned a totalof 80,000 acres in sixteen counties, iThe largest of these fires occurred iiBlair, Cameron. Clearfield, Hunting-!don, Luzerne and Potter counties, jBlair. Luzerne and Potter are tied for fthe doubtful honor of being first on 1this list, each paving had a lire of over I10.000 acres.

Xo fires were reported from Alle-!Beaver, Delaware. Erie, Greene, j

Lawrence, Montour, Philadelphia or'Washington counties, but small tires tburned even in such agricultural coutr- jties as Bucks, Chester and Montgom- 1ery. Blair county suffered most se-1verely, with 18.000 acres burned. Al- jmost 16.000 acres went up in smoke!in Luzerne county, and 13,400 acres jwere burned in Potter county. The;heaviest money loss occurred in Clin- jton county, where 6,700 acres, valuedat almost $25,000, were burned over.

As indicating how variable weatherconditions affect the forest lire seasons |it is interesting to note that fires oc-1curred in every month of 1916 exceptFebruary. Almost fifty per cent, of theifires burned between August 1 and De- |cember 15, which is very unusual. In i1915 nearly ninety per cent, of the'fires occurred before June 1. Prac-1tically half of the fall fires in 1916 !occurred during one very dry week inthe early part of December.

Further changes are being made ifrom time to time in the list of fire iwardens. The State will be thoroughly icovered township by township, and jwardens will be appointed whereverthere is enough forest area to justifyappointment. The greater part of theState has been covered in this way al-ready. and over 1.500 wardens arenow on the roster, In addition to theforce of foresters and gangers.

SHANNON TOY FOR. JOHNNIE KILBANEChampion Allows Califomian

to Stay the Limit; Hangs on

to Save Self

Philadelphia, Pa., March 20.Johnny Kilbane, featherweight cham-pion, had no trouble beating EddieShannon, of California, in the windupat the Olympia last night. The boutwas tame and uninteresting, as it wasevident after the secfind round thatShannon was only a play toy for Kil-bane, who could handle him as hepleased, and he did not please to berough with him. The first two roundswere occupied by Kilbane in sizingShannon up. Johnny fiddled andfeinted Eddie in the most bewilderingway, the Califomian evidently beingafraid to lead or take any chances.\\ hen Kilbane would lead, Shannonwould grab him and hold on like grimdeath. In the third round Kilbane hadsolved Shannon's style, and he walkedover to the visitor, and sending a hardright to Eddie's jaw. he dropped thelatter like a log. Shannon took thecount, and when he got up, Kilbanewent after him. Then Shannon grab-bed Kilbane and held him tight. Abit of wrestling followed, in which Kil-bane, in trying to shake Shannon loose,threw him to the mat. In the nextround Kilbane staggered Shannon tohis knees with a right-hander to theside of the head.

Then Johnny evidently finding that, Shannon was in the ring to try andstay the six rounds took things easvand he merely feinted and fooledaround with Shannon for the balanceof the contest. In the latter part ofthe fourth round, when Shannon foundthat Kilbane was not trying to hurt

I him. he began leading and landed twoor three body punches with his righthand, at which Kilbane laughed heart-ily, as there was little steam in them.

1 In the tifth and sixth rounds it was1 about the same thing. Kilbane was

| intent on getting an early train out| of ,the city, and lie was paying moreI attention to the time he would have

. to get through than to anything that| might take place In the ring. Hewould laugh at Shannon's clumsy at-tempts to lead, and then would get Inclose and locking Eddie up wouldpush his head away with one handwhile pretending to hit him with theother. Shannon got in several blowsto the body, but lie spent the most ofhis time in clinching with his oppon-ent.

In the preliminary bouts. BobbyReynolds beat Patsey Broderick. A1Fox had the better of A 1 Wagner: BillvMannin beat Jimmy Briggs and BillyHines had the better x>f Battling Mur-ray. over whom he had a big advant-age in weight.

Kilbane boxed Tim Droney of Lan-caster at York several weeks ago.
