NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—Much com
ment over the alleged unpopularity of
Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight
champion, in New York city, has been
aroused by publication of the report
that efforts are being made to match
the feather king with Champion
Welsh.
There is no secret over Kilbane’s
unpopularity. Most any New York
fight fan will tell you why. He’ll tell
you that Kilbane is a staller, a dancer,
a clever boxer but not a fighter in the
truest sense of the word. The strange
part of it is that in any other section
of the country where Kilbane has dis
played his wares they will declare
that there never was a fighter as good
as Kilbane.
Kilbane has taken issue with some
of the best featherweights and light
weights in the world in New York
rings and he has been forced to step
the limit every time. He met John
ny Dundee, Benny Leonard and others
who have written their names high in
Fistdom. He knocked out George
Kirkwood for the benefit of a New
York audience, but they still maintain
he isn’t a fighter.
The New York fans do Kilbane an
injustice. He always has given his
best to New York and it never has
been appreciated. Like many another
champion he does his battling under
the handicap of being expected to
knock out all his opponents, and when
he nicked off George Chaney in his
most recent important mill New York
fans immediately began to wonder
why he hadn’t turned such tricks for
them.
Now, Chaney never was better than
a mediocre fighter, his imposing
knockout record notwithstanding. It
must be remembered that the good
featherweights in this country are
mighty scarce and. that Chaney’s ef
forts were, for the most part, directed
against them.
If New York promoters succeed in
bringing together Welsh and Kilbane
they will provide one of the choicest
bits of boxing ever uncovered, and it
is almost certain tliat any New York
“smudges” on Kilbane’s record will
be effectually removed.

EXPLOITS OF
LONDON, Dec. 1.5.—OLto Silvester,
an American, former rough-rider in
Buffalo Bill’s shows, and British army
veteran of more than 15 years’ service
was registered here today as'an alien
despite his heroic service in three
wars. The same court that ordered
the American adventurer to register
also held him to be re-examined for
military service.
Silvester suffered three serious
wounds, numerous minor injuries and
temporary blindness while fighting on
the western front. After being
wounded in the head at La Basse he
spent many weeks in a hospital but
was discharged in time to go into
action at Nueve Chapelle. In a battle
there the former cowboy was hit in
the right arm and left shoulder and
blinded by an explosion.
Discharged and sent back to Eng- I
land Silvester recovered his sight I
and gradually regained his strength I
sufficiently to work on munitions in
one of the big plants some distance
from London. But a fellow work
man became suspicious of the ex-sol
dier and asked the authorities why he
was not registered as an alien. Sil- j
vester was promptly summoned.
Silvester’s daring exploits recorded
to his credit in the annals of the west
ern front scarcely exceed his achieve
ments during the South African war.
It was Silvester who carried the dis
patch that meant life or death, from
beleaguered Ladysmith to General
Buller at Colenso. And, riding with
the head of the relief column, the
same Yank was one of the first to re
enter the town. During the same
campaign he was wounded in the
fighting at Nicholson’s Nek but he
still had enough scrap in his make-up
to go through a number of desperate
battles on the Indian frontier.
The medical examiners will decide
whether the “alien” is fit for further
military service.
After the show we generally have
a nice lunch at the North Pole Bakery.

wonderful dramatic imagination.”—Chicago News.
“The picture (“Civilization”) registers in no uncertain

civilization’s roll call.”—Chicago American.
