FEATHER BOUT
ATTRACTS HUGE
CROWD TO RING
Boxing Fans Throng Cleve
land to View Kilbane and
Frush in Title Go.
BETTING STANDS EVEN
CLEVELAND, Sept. 17.—Johnny Kil
bane, who has been featherweight cham
pion since he ontboxed Abe Attell at \er
non, way back In 1912, must defend the
title here today against Danny Frush of
Baltimore. . . ...
Even money prevailed In the betting
today and Kilbane was predicting ho
Would win by a knockout. The weather
was threatening after an v’-night rain,
but It was positively announced that the
fight would go on, rain or shine, at Dunn
field, this afternoon.
Kilbane is 32 years old —quite a ven
erable age for the ring—and Frush is ten
year# bis junior, but that fact failed to
make Johnny backers feel the faintest
doubt regarding his ability to retain his
crown in today's affair.
The preliminaries were scheduled to
start at 2 p. m., with the main bout at
4:40 p. m.
The crowd was expected to be between
2.1,000 and 30.000, the promoters predict
ed. They said SIOO,OOO worth of tickets
had been sold up to last midnight and
that today’s sales probably would make
the gnte over $125,000.
The first real letting came today. Ed
die Miller. Cleveland, put up $15,000 even
with Pittsburgh sportsmen that Kilbane
would win. Joseph Young. Cleveland,
wagered $3,000 to SIO,OOO that Kilbane
would score a knockout. Numerous other
bets from SI,OOO to $3,000 were reported,
most of them at even money.
The usual/ statements cam® in from
the camps of the two fighters.
"I will force the fight and will win
within eight rounds.” declared Frush.
“I am at my best,” said Kilbane. “I 11
knock Frush out as-.soon as possible and
that probably will be in tae early
rounds.”
In the opinion of the majority of Ting
experts the fight was to be a test of
Kilbane’s superior craftiness and skill
against Frush’s and better en
durance. The sport experts who have
seen Kilbane work out iu training agreed
that the champion was far from the 1
physical condition he should be in for 1
a title bout and manv doubted his ability
go the full 12 rounds at top speed.
Frush, on the other hand, was in prime
* h "f P kilbane loses the title he has held
for nine years he will have sweet re
compense. He gets $<15,00.1 and the mo
tion picture rights for his part of the j
battle. Frush draws $2,500 and his big
chance at the title.
Tex Rickard was to arrive tod\y and ;
it was reported he would negotiate with
Kilbane for a fight in New York this
winter if the champion retains his crown.
Kilbane and Frush were to go 12
round* to a decision. In the prelimin
aries Jimmy Katz was to meet Alex
Hart; Jack Vols of Cleveland, was to
meet Ortie O’Leary of Boston, and Tony
Caponi, New York, bantam, was to go
against Teddy Myers of Rochester.

Governor McCray congratulated the
community on its enterprise in building
the new structure and pointed out that
the get-together spirit shown in the pro,p
eet and the future assemblages of
neighbors in the building to discuss civic
and other affai-s would do milch to dis
count the apathy and lack of interest in
public questions as exemplified in the re
rent small vote on the constitutional
amendments. .
Ex-Governor Ralston spoke of condt
tions in Europe and gave an interesting
account of his trip over the battlefields
of France. i . . .
'the new building was erected by a
stock company, the West Newton Com
munitv Club, of which Joseph Burk is
president, at a cost of approximately
$8 000 It is a frame structure, <o by 90
fret and the basket ball floor is on of
the finest in the State, being 45 by <SB
feet, of hrd yellow pine A well
equipped stage i£ located in one end or
the auditorium, with dressing rooms,
and the lighting system is the best.
The ''basket-ball 'team from Valley Mills
High School defeated the West Newton
team. 31 to 24, in a game that was nip
and tuck until the last ten rainntes. when
the Valiev bovs showed a few flashes
of the wonderful passing that earned
them the county championship last year
and enabled them to pull out in front
for £ victory. In the first game of the
evening Mooresville High School de
feated Greenwood High School. 16 to 1L

TRIBE UNABLE
TO HOLD OUT
Jinx Overtakes Indians in
Eighth,and Colonels Grab
Another Win.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. J.7.—Jack Hen
dricks' Indians were not in a mood to be
trifled with today. In fact they were
what one calls desperate. Just when they
had started a late season drive and were
going so well the A. A. schedule called
for them to invade Louisville. ’Nuff said.
Good-by late season drive!
. Taking a walloping in the series opener
here Thursday, the Indians really
thought they were going to get back on
their winning stride yesterday, in fact,
it looked that way until tho Colonels
batted in the eighth. After that it was
a case of the “Poor old Indians” again.
Up until the Colonels started on their
rampage the Hooslers were leading, 4 to
0. but when the niuo innings were fin
ished the Colonels were out In front,
0 to 4. “All” the Colonels got in that
eighth were six runs.
It was quite a rally on the part of
the league leaders, but it was not without
assistance from the director of baseball
fortune. In fact, the old jinx certainly
rode the Tribe hata in that one frame.
Clint Rogge h?d ptte! ed brilliantly fer
seven innings, allowing only one hit, and
it wf.B an infield scratch. Then in the
Indians’ half of the eighth the Tribe
pitchei reached third on his hit, Baird's
sacrifice and Sehreiber’s out. This
brought the hard-hitting Walter Rehg
to bat, and this is where the old Jin-x
got in the saddle to ruin the Indians
for the day. Rehg hit a terrific linet
down the third base line directly at
Rogge, who was playing off third. The
ball was ftit so fast that Rogge wr.s un
able to escape It and all he could do
was to turn his back anil take the vyal
lop in the back. That apparently knocked
all the pitching out of the big righ
hander. for when he took the mound in
the Colonels’ half of the eighth the
Colonels immediately started a bombard
ment and soon had force J Rogge to re
tire.
Cavet went to Clint’s relief, but the en
tire team had gone up in the air by that
time and errors by shinners and Rehg
helped the locals put over the markers
that spelled defeat for the Indians for the
second time in the series. It certainly
was a hard game to lose.
In the contest today Jess Petty was
slated for Tribe mound duty. The series
will be brought to a close with the Sun
day game.
More Grid (Warriors
and Assistant Coach
Reach De Pauw Camp
Two Illinois Men Join Squad
— o , Brie.i Comes to Help
Walker.
GREENCASTLE, Ind., Sept. 17—With
the arrival today of Charles V. O'Brien,
newly appointed assistant Tiger football
coach, members of the coaching staff of
De Pauw will all be on the scene of
action.
O'Brien lives in Shelbourne, Mass. He
played quarter buck on the eleven of the
Rhode Island State College, under the
direction of Coach Walker, and was later
assistant football coach there. During
the 1919 season he played quarter hack
ju u the New York Agricultural College
eleven, which he captained, under the
direction of Coach Walker.*
New football men are still arriving at
Do Pauw. Steele of Robinson, 111., tackle,
vvho has played In Texas and California,
arrived in Greeucastle Friday and took
par tin the afternoon practice. Davis,
guard, also of Robinson, 111., was ex
pected to arrive today.
EARLY FORM
GOOD AT BUTLER
The close of the first wrek of active
football practice at Butler College shows
that Coach Page has at his disposal
some of tho best material In the State
which is fast rounding into shape. The
sqtfSid is becoming eager for the opening
of the season next when the
Rlue and White stacks into a picked
team of aiumni.
Witt the large ntnnwff of men on the
I squad and the short time Page has had
I to work with them, It is impossible at
I this time to determine Just who will care
i for the respective positions, but another
1 week should narrow things down to a
point where the opening day line-up can
b pretty well guessed. i
The Technical High School squad was
’ to work out with the Butler players this
i afternoon on Irwin Field. A regular
I practice game was earned and the men
tors of both schools were expected to
shift their men freely during the contest
i in an attempt to get a line on as many
: of the candidates as possible. A scrim
mage was held with Manual this morn
lug which proved beneficial to the play
ers of both schools. It is likely that the
policy of playing the local high schools
practice games will be continued by
f’nge throughout the season.
BUSY DAYS
AT EARLHAM
RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 17. —Earlbam
College coaches are maintaining stronger
than ever their policy that action is bet
ter than talk, with the result that about
forty football men have becD getttiug the
benefit of some real conditioning work
during the week. Although college does
not open until Monday, the football prao
t'ce is veil under way with a likely squad
of gridders scrapping for places on the
eleven.
Next week there is expected to be a
large addition to tho four teams already
at work, and Coaches Mowe and Higgins
will be even buster than during the first
week’s work Higgins probably will
have charge of the green material.
The first encounter of the season with
Hanover is only two weeks off. Nothing
of any definite nature can be doped as to
| the makeup of the team for the early
season games. Captain Hinshaw is again
in togs and will in all likelihood be at
the signal position.
SIX TEAMS AT PURDUE.
LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Sept. 17—Coach
Diet* is highly pleased with the spirit
of the Purdue grid men and the form
they have been showing.ln practice. Lim
beiiig up exercises open the daily work
out which gradually lead up to work on
plays. Coach Dietz has six full squads
in action.
The Purdue mentor has only two more
' weeks in which to get his team in shape
for the first game of the season with
Wabash College. Freshmen Couch Doau
hopes to have a team by the end of next
week with which to give the varsity some
scrimmage. More than one hundred
freshmen signed up for football, which
was to start today.
j Captain Carmen and Birk left Friday
for Youngstown, Ohio, where they will
consult ‘ Bonesetter” Reese in regard to
' their injured shoulders. Both players
| received injuries last fall which have
i never healed entirely.
Magee’s Return Shot
j Sherry Magee, with Columbus last year
! and now with Minneapolis, had a great,
j time with the right field fans In Colum
i bus recently.
i "You're lucky.” yelled one fan when
! sherry shot a double just inside the
I third base line
I “The only time I was ever lucky in my
life was when I got away from Colutu
i bus." retorted Magee.
HIS SECOND TRIAL.
Claude (Rubber) Jonnard is going to
get another trial in big league company,
this time with the New York Giants, the
Little Rock club having sold him to
MoGraw, Jonnard was with Detroit in

Tilden and Wallace Johnson
Meet in Philly for Singles
Title.
By JACK VEIOCK,
International News Sports Editor.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.—Quaker
town was ready* today to enjoy the world
series—that is, the tennis world’s series.
Big Bill Tilden and Wallace Johnson,
natives of this man’s town, were ready
to stage the final round of the national
lawn tennis singles championship this
afternoon. The event was looked upon
as the world’s tennis classic because Til
den, the international champion, was to
defend his laurels after coming down to
the final through a field that included the
world's best players.
There was no certainty early today
that the players would be able to settle
the dispute, however, for the weather
man sent banks of clouds and a drizzle
that made things look ominous. Officials
of the United States Lawn Tennis Asso
ciation and the Germantown Cricket Club
were hopeful of winding up the tourney
and it was decided to wait until noon or
later before considering a postponement.
Tilden and his rival in the final round
played through one of the biggest fields
ever debating the title. Tllden's record
is exceptionally brilliant, for out of six
matches played he lost but one set and
that to William M. Johnston.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17.—Mrs. Mol
ls BJurstedt Mallory today won the
woman's middle States’ tennis singles
championship by defeating Miss Edith
Sigourney of Boston, 6-0, 6-3 at the Phila
delphia Cricket Club.

Pennant Chances.
ROOTERS IN BAD MOOD
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 17.—The 1921 Na
tional League pennant hung in the
balance today and if Pittsburgh lost this
afternoon’s game it is almost certain that
New York will wind up in first place.

and purposes.
Manager George Gibson will not yet
admit lie’s beaten. He was ready to
show his whole stack on the baseball
table this afternoon. His last hope urns
centered on Babe Adams, veteran pitcher,
who seldom loses. There was more ten
sion in Pittsburgh today than if this
nfternoon’s game were the deciding ona
of a world’s series. Ne’af was expected
to pitch for New York.
The greatest crowd that ever witnessed
a Pittsburgh luisebnll game was to be
at Forbes field today. The great
stadium’s seating capacity was about
sold out this morning.
The Giants' 5 to 0 victory over the
Pirates Friday was accompanied by hard
feelings on the part of local fans. In
the eight inning Umpire McCormick
rendered a close dqcisiou and a barrage
of pop bottles was laid down in his
sector. Two hit him. The police later
saved him from violence.
