Jimmy Dunn is Still Being Scored For His Big Blunder. Shortly after Benny Leonard had convinced Johnny Kilbane that from the camp of the featherweight champion. . {little man," was the i substance of | the piaint, { pression that Leonard's victory over ithe Clevelander 'was die eatirely to | physical advantages i the lightweight champion. | In view of this contention, it is of |ldke his father he has always lived | interest to inspire the measurements | cleanly and samely. [of the men which were taken shortly | before the battle at Shibo Park. | 'The figures disclose the fact that { Leonard is' but 21 years of age, as {against 28 for Kilbane. While Leon- ard had the advantage of youth, still {an athlete who has taken such goof {eare of himself as has Kilbane | should be at the height of his pow- ers at 28. { Kilbane stands 5 feet 5% inches, ito 5 feet 5 1-4 inches fdr Leonard, giving the feathweight the {age by a quarter of an inch. | Kilbane's reach is 68 inches and | Leonard's 681% inches, the light- | weight having the better of it by | half an. inch. | In the matter of chest normal, { Kilbane is 36 inches and Leonard {35 3-4, and expanded Kilbane 38 and Leonard 37, an advantage to {the featherweight. | Kilbane's neck is an inch bigger | thah Benny's, the figures being fif- | teen for Kilbang and fourteen for | Leonard ' Kilban¥'s waist is 31 inches to 27 by Benny, anh advantage of 4 inches for the -featherweighg. Kilbane"s | biceps measure 13 inches to 10% | for Leonard. Kilbane's forearm is eleven inches to nine inches for Leonard. Kilbane's wrist is 7 inches to 6% inches for Leonard. Kilbane's thigh is 18 inches to 19% inches for Leonard, and Leon? ard's calf is 13 3-4 inches to 11 inches for Kilbane. In the matter of weight Leopard scaled below 133 at 8 p.m. and Kil- bane weighed 127. It is a fair esti- mate that Leonard had the advant- age of five pounds', when the first round started. This additional weight is in Leonard's legs, which are well molded and muscular." Kil- bane has slender props of the Fitz- simmons variety. Therefore, in all salient points Kilbane is a bigger man than Leon- ard and the lightweight champion did not win through physical ad- vantages, but because he oytclasses the featherweight champion in all the qualities that go to make up a champion boxer. er ------------ Baseball in the Good Old Days. Professional ball players of to- day may not be angels, but they would be considered hopeless molly- coddies by many of the old-timers of the 70's and 80's.

Wilkes- rbarre and Williamsport were Scrah- 1top's principal rivals, and by beat- ing the clubs of these cities the O'- | Leary gang made themselves so : popular that they owned the town. The most nbtable contest of that me- morahle year was with Williamsport, which had club that had licked big league teams and was consider- ed invincible. O'Leary and his players wagered nearly $5,000, @very cent they had in the world, on themselves, and they won by a wide margin, Needless to say, after that you simply couldn't hold that ! bunch.
