Betting is light on the Kilbane- Dundee featherweight championship bout in Los Angeles tonight, but the few wagers made show Kilbane a prohibitive favorite. The two little men were down to weight this morn ing and neither will be weakened by having to undergo the enervating "drying out" process. Kilbane has not been active in the ring recently, but should win. Dundee has a baf fling style of milling, however, and will not be an easy mark. Bob Moha's middleweight cham pionship light was dimmed by Jack Dillon in Milwaukee last night The Indianapolis battler pummeled Moha at will, belting him all over the ring.

Good weather on the training trip, and proper methods of conditioning, worked wonders." The men-are run ning the bases at good speed, cover ing lots ofr ground in the. field and their eyes are surely on the pill. Any time the gang fails to go into double figures in the hit column Manager Evers orders an oculist to examine their lamps. Chance does not seem to have taken all the fighting spirit to New York. In the last four games against the Pirates Evers' men have rallied and come from behind in each con test In one their rally was too late and fell short, but in the other three battles it was effective enough to bring home the win. The Cubs were sailing along serenely yesterday with a one-run lead until the eighth in ning opened.
