LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT IN NEW YORK ARENA HOLDS INTEREST

CLASSY FIGHT PARTY TONIGHT AT OLD GARDEN Social Prominents to Mingle With Ordinary Ringsiders at Mitchell-Leonard Clash. TITLE IS AT STAKE By JACK VEIOCK, International News Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Jan. U.—There's going to be a high falutin’ knuckle party at the old Garden tonight. Benny Leonard, a Gothamite of some pugilistic note, will furnish the entertainment, assisted by an able youth from Milwaukee, who answer to the name of Richie Mitchell. Young Mr. Leonard will box in defense of his lightweight championship and for the benefit of the fund to restore devastated France. He was lured into the match by Miss Anne Morgan of the American Committee for Devastated France, the first member of New York's “400” to invade promoting ranks. For his labors Leonard will receive a tidy bit—*4o,ooo. Mitchell will have *20.000 thrust upon him. Quite probably the boxers will be able to accept their guarantees without aid. LEONARD IN FOR SCSI EVENING. As the match is a championship affair —fifteen rounds to a decision —Leonard may have a very busy evening. Mitchell is no set-up for the champion. He will not enter the ring inclined to frolic. Quite contrary, he hopes to leave it with the lightweight title in tow. When the boxers answer the bell tne undent garden will be suffocated with people. A cosmopolitan assemblage oi some 15,000, Including members of the smart set, boxing fans of the ordinary Madison Square Garden variety and a generous sprinting of the tin-eared fraternity will be there. Social butterflies will rub elbows with moths, so to speak. In short, it will be a party extraordinary. The principals in tonight's affair are not strangers. They met for tho first time several years ago In Milwaukee before Leonard rose to the level of a champion. At that time Mitchell was Just 3 good, tough boy—one of the comers. In the seventh round Leonard stung Ritchie with a hard right to the nose. It made Mitchell sore. ''.lust for that.” he told himself. “I'm going to get you good.” Mitchell opened up. tossed caution to the winds and cocked his right arm to put an “acer” on the Bronx boy. That was just what Leonard had been waiting for. He beat Ritchie to the punch and the fight ended then and there. LENNY HEAVY Birr FAVORITE. Since that time Mitchell has improved. So has Leonard. At least, the champion has not gone back to any appreciable extent. Viewing it in this manner. New York fans expect to see Mitchell give the champ a real fight tonight,\but they also expect to see Leonard win. Betting in Wall street today favored Leonard at varying odds. Some bets were made at 7 to 5 on a knockout and some at 10 to 6 that Leonard would win the decision. Despite the big guarantees, Tex Rickard. who donated the Garden for the festivities. expects Miss Morgan to make something out of a house that may reach *125,000. Being staged for a charitable purpose, the brxlng commission waived its rerent act limiting prices and seats were sold for from $5 to *25. Mehre and McDermott Lead Notre Dame in Win Over Fast Valparaiso Quint VALPARAISO, Ind., Jan. 14.—Notre Dame came back with n furious assault In the second half to defeat Valparaiso, 21 to 17. last night. In the most bitterly contested basket-ball affair ever witnessed here. The Valparaiso netters set a dazzling pace to carry a 12 to 0 lead in the first half, but the Irish won the contest when they had the stuff to follow this pace, then come back at a faster clip in the second session. As the last minutes of play rol’ed past, the teams hit their fastest stride, but Mehre and McDermott had sent Notre Dame to the front early In the second period and they kept them there by swapping Valpo basket for basket in the final stages. Last night’s contest showed that Coach ITalas is putting a basket team in the field that soon will rival the Notre Dame football machines in the honor ranks, and that in Mehre and McDermott, who scored four field goals earn, he has two of the smartest point-getters In the State. Ecic'und and Bradley were Valpo's big scorers, registering four and two baskets respectively. Ecklund took his shots from long range.

Yankee Boxer Puts Skids Under Wilde Before Royal Eyes Herman Stops British Ring Idol in London Bout Viewed by Many Notables. LONDON, Jan. 14.—Part of London looked today with feelings almost of despair on the shattered pieces of her last boxing idol. The tiny Welshman, Flyweight Champion .Timmy Wilde, was knocked out before the Prince of Wales and other notables by Pete Herman, the American bantam, in the seventeenth round of a bout last night in Albert Hall. More glory war given to Wilde in defeat than to Herman in victory, however. The Morning Press agreed that Wildo undertook a superhuman task in giving the American many pounds weight handicap. -Wilde entered the ring against the advice of his best friends. By coming into the ring over weight, Herman forfeited his chance for glory, and, although defeated. Wilde is the champion of his class.' the Daily Graphic said. “Herman was outboxed from the beginning. His superior weight saved him,” said the Times. “Wilde tried the impossible. Herman was always too strong. Only in the fifth round did Wilde show his real form and it didn't bother Herman,” the Mall said. After the fight Herman told tho United Press: “Wilde is the greatest little boxer I have ever seen in my life. That’s all I can say.” Herman plans to sail Saturday for America. Owing to an Injured hand, Battling I.evlnsky was unable to meet Bombardier Welle in the heavyweight bout carded as a preliminary. Although, in the last round Wiblo h -, d been knocked through the ropes three limes, he still was com.ng beck tot more punishment when the referee caught him in his arms, ended the battle and gave the decision to the American lad. The men had agreed to weigh in at 118 pounds, but Herman was lVi pounds over the stipulated weight. The first five rounds were in favor of Wilde. Than the advantage alternated until the fifteenth, when Herman’s weight began to tell on the Welshman. Herman surprised the crowd by his boxing, which discounted Wilde’s aggressiveness. The American fought a sportsmanlike contest throughout and was well received by the spect tors. Herman o> !y j„f sh- bantam title to Joe Lynch in New York. n.euoy, a., ..merican, and Spalla, I an Italian, heavyweights substitute f->-I.evlr.sky and Wells. After having been warned several times, Kenny wa .iisqualifled in the sixth round for holding.

The locals play at Bloomington Friday and return home the following night to meet the strong Rochester quintet. Anderson defeated Bloomington here earlier In the season and expects to repeat, but fans feel Coach Staggs will have to keep his regulars in the line-up the entire forty minutes. The strain cf the Bloomington game. It is feared, will tell tho next night and loco’ basket-ball fans are not nearly so confident of a local victory as they usually are when the Red and Green plays on Its home floor. For that matter’ foreign floors have given Coach Staggs' men no serious trouble, which Is substantiated by Anderson’s win at Franklin. Rochester is regarded here as Anderson's strongest rival and interest is at a fever pitch over the Saturday game here. Rochester is coming with a big delegation confident the visiting quintet will atone for Its being put out of tho running In State tournaments on three separate occasions by the locals.

SPORT EDITORIAL By EDDIE ASH. % Boxing fans who are Inclined to view the proposed return engagement between Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard ns a farcical match fail to digest fully the natural advantages held by the former title holder In weight and height. True. Dempsey is a better fighter than Willard ever was, for several reasons. He is fastea, more active, more aggressive, possesses more of the pugilistic instinct and to top his good points he is probably the hardest hitter we ever had in the heavyweight class. He does not become slothful, slow and fat between bouts and therefore usually is ready to give his best on short notice. He made short work of the Kansas Sunflower in Toledo and annexed the heavyweight crown in decisive fashion. Possessing all these attributes as Dempsey does, his admirers hardly can be criticised for falling to see any chance for Willard to win back the crown. But opposed to all these good Dempsey points is the undeniable fact that a man six feet seven inches tall, built In proportion, known to be able to hit hard when aroused, and weighing 250 pounds when in condition, is likely to knock any man living off his feet If ho connects. And in the case of Willard no one who witnessed the Toledo bout can fall to give the big fellow credit for possessing courage. He was fairly slaughtered in the first round. He was sent to the canvas seven times and each time by a crushing Dempsey blow perfectly placed, but he came up and weathered two more rounds and fought back in each until his strength left him entirely. It was the gamest effort a man ever made in the heavyweight ring and for that reason he will be assured the backing of many if the return bout with Dempsey is staged. Willard's gigantic size makes the chance of a Toledo reversal easily possible and in these days of frequent form reversals and upsets in the sport world a second Willard-Dempsey match would not bo lacking in interest. According to recent statements Issued by Big Jess, he has taken renewed courage since Brennan managed to stay eleven rounds with Dempsey, and his confidence also has been braced by tho information that many boxing followers have let It be known that they will back him to beat Dempsey. The staging of the match in New York Is hardly probable since boxing admission prices there have been limited to sl3, but the promoters are sure to bring the big fellows together somewhere. Dempsey Is the better fighter and naturally will be the favorite whenever the scrap is held, but It is absurd to ignore the chances for an upset by the Kansas farmer.

PUSH* jjjjfpuGS GOTHAM MAY LOSE .MATCH. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.—Jack Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion, is beginning to fear the match with Jess Willard, scheduled for March 17, will he called off, owing to the recent ruling of the New York boxing commission that sls is the maximum price of admission that may be charged for championship bouts. “All parties concerned have forfeit money posted, but it begins to look as If the heavyweight champion will lie frozen out of New York, said Kearns here Thursday. “Madißon Square Garden is the biggest place available for a bout in tho winter and tho limit of the attendance would he $150,000, an amount not large enough to handle the Dempsey-Willard bout." If New York fails Kearns will ask Benton Harbor or a New Jersey club to put It on. GRUDGE BATTLE TONIGHT. KENOSHA, Wig., Jan. 14.—An old grudge will be settled in the ring here tonight, when Charley White, long a contender for the lightweight champion ship and Sailor Solly Friedmann, also of Chicago, will meet lu a s heduled teurouud bout. White and Friedmann have been pugilistic enemle-i for months and each is asserting he will settle the other tonight by the Knockout route. AMATEUR RING RESULTS. NEW YORK, Jan. 14. John Courtwrigbt.

Coach Lambert’s Boilermaker five, beaten but not disheartened by their defeat at the hands of Wabash, will open t.heir Western Conference schedule tomorrow at Lafayette, meeting Northwestern. Wabash this year has a team that Is believed to be the equal of any quintette In the Conference, and a defeat at the hands of such an aggregation is no reason why Purdue should not rank near the top when the final Big Ten rating is announced. It might also be well to remember that last year Lambert’s five was defeated by Wabash the flrst of the year and yet by the end of the season It was doubtful if there was a college team in the country that could have stopped the onslaught of the Boilermaker five.

LEAGUE HEADS DISCUSS MANY NEW RULINGS Landis Meets With Baseball Advisory Board and Provisions Are Reviewed. SLIGHT SERIES CHANGES CHICAGO, Jan. 14.—Having accomplished a long felt want in the ratification of anew agreement the day previous, the baseball dignitaries busied themselves Thursday with a mere informal gabfest. Satisfied with an amicable adjustment, many of the magnates headed back to. their respective homesteads early In thg* day, a few remained to gather togetbei the loose ends of some possible trades, and the tnew pact was started on its way with a discussion between Judge Kenesaw M. Landis, supreme dictator, and the advisory board, consisting of major and minor league representatives. DRAFT RULES ARE DISCUSSED. The conference of Landis and his colleagues did not result in anything startling. Revision of drafting rules was taken tip, and this will take several days to complete. Slight alterations were made in the code governing world series, the most notable change being that the f at” ipires in the big games of the futnre will divide a sum equal to one winning and one losing player’s share. In the past the arbiters have been paid a flat sum for their service”. It also was decided to increase the commission's assessment from the postseason battles. Under the old agreement the commission took 10 per cent of the gross to help defray operating expenses. In the future the deduction will be 13 per cent. This increase may help & bit in meeting Landi9' $42,500 salary ami the $7,500 or SS,OOO that jvill pay for (Continued on Rage Fourteen.) Additional Sports, Page 14
