You don’t have to “shop” among tire dealers to

and another tfiake for your front wheels;
—but you can get exactly the tires which will give
you the lowest-cost-per-mile of service among the five
different types of United States Tires.
And then you can hold one company—the United

KILBANE OUTPOINTS THE
WORLD CHAMPION WELSH
New York.—Johnny Kilbane of Cleve
land, featherweight champion, outpointed
Freddie Welsh of England, world’s light
weight champion, in eight out of ten
rounds of their boxing match here last
night. Kilbane weighed 130 pounds and
Welsh 139.
Kilbane forced the pace all the way,
outhltting and otherwise outpointing his
opponent by a considerable margin.
In the opening round Kilbane crossed
to the jaw with his right, in the second
he crossed his right to the head and jaw
and followed with four lefts to the head
and face. This right cross was the heavi
est blow in the match.
Welsh was short in his leads and missed
several swings in the third and Kilbane
had the better of the round. Kilbane
scored frequently in the fourth but Welsh
opened up in the fifth and outpointed
his opponent.
From this point to the end of the bout
Kilbane did most of the forcing and while
both were guilty of holding, Welsh was
the more frequent offender.
In the seventh Kilbane had an oppor
tunity, after landing a telling light cross
but did not follow up his advantage.
Welsh’s work improved in the ninth
and tenth but Kilbane scored the greater
number of points, although no really
-heavy blows were struck.
Somebody suggests that we use shark*
for food. Well, thqre are a lot of sharks
among us that we could spare, but we
don’t exactly hanker for thtf cannibal
stunt.
