LEONARD ABLY s DEFENDS TITLE IN FAST SCRAP Benny Stops Mitchell in Sixth After Both Men Hit Canvas in First. MATCH REAL THRILLER By JACK VEIOC'K. international News Sports Editor. XBW YORK, Jan. 15.—Benny Leonard ia still monarch of all he surveys. The little lightweight champ of the world stands today in a class very much by himself, and he ims demonstrated ability, strength and speed at 134 pounds that should cause app.ehension among the army of woula-be champs wi-o have been howling on his trail. knocking out Richie Mitchell in six rounds at Madison Square Garden last night, Leonard disposed of one of his most capable rivals, and he did it in a manner that left no doubt about his class. Leonard's victory was the result of his prolihe r!i,ht hand and the comest head that has set upon the shou'ders of a lightweight champ in the history of the division. EARLY KNOCK DOWN SHAKES MITCHELL. He started Mitchell on the road to defeat in the tirst minute of the hrst round with a terrific right-hander to the Jaw that flattened the Milwaukee boy for tha count of nine. From that time on the westerner fought in a dazed condition, but fought the gatnest and most seusatiotial battle that New York ever has nessedBefore the first round ended and after flooring Mitchell three times, Leonard himself was floored by a hard left uook to the chin that sent him down for the count of nine. That punch carried so much force that it knocked Leonard crosß-eyed. For three or four seconds he did not know what had happened. Then his quick brain cleared and he

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.—"If* all right and I’m crony about it,” Miss Anne Morgan, sister ot the famous <l. P. Morgan, told Tex Rickard, boxing last night at Madison Square Carden, as she watched Champion Benny Leonard defeat Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee in the -ixtii round of a heduled fifteenround bout. Miss Morgan "promoted'* the fight, the proceeds, after the lighters were paid, going to the fund lor the relief of devastated parts of France. it •vae estimated today that more than $75,000 will go into the relief fund.

took the count of nine. Ilis head work i ting the remainder of the round presented Mitchell from following up the temporary advantage he had gained and paved the road to victory. Leonard not only demonstrated that he is still the possessor of a knockout wallop, but that he ranks among the cleverest boxers and greatest ring generals th- lightweight division has known. He al. o proved to some who may have doubted his ruggedness that he can take a terrific punch on the Jaw and come back for more BENNY’ PROVES HIS CLEVERNESS. The punch Mitchell landed on the champion's chin was hard enough to have sent the average lightweight to dreamland. and during the battle Richie missed enough right-nande.s to have won several lightweight titles. Richie's punches had the stuff, in them, but he did not line Leonard's address, ail of which indicates that Leonard is u wirurd tn’TSfi* art of taking c-re of himself. Iyonard blames carelessness for the. fact that Mitchell Coored him and in the same breath admits that the punch was the hardest he has ever stopped. "I was knocked down because I got n trifle careless so: a moment." said Leonard today, '"i don’t think it wes for any other reasou. I underestimated Mitchell's ability in that moment because I had Just floored him three times. That was a very bad mistake on my part. It might have cost me the title. It won't happen again. Incidentally, that punch was the hardest one I ever stopped, but in a way I’m glad now that 1 was dropped. It proved to my friends thnt I can take a punch.” the wake of Ids victory Leonard '"made the announcement that he will defend his title Just as often as the promoters can line up suitable challengers. “They can bring on the Tendlers, Jacksons, Dunrtees. Hartley or any of the others as fast as they like,” said Leonard. "I am ready for them. Tendler is the only lightweight of recognized class whom I have not met but It has been no fault of mine. Let him come.” Tendler and Jackson both challenged the winner of last night’s bout and one of the pair probably will be matched with Ber.ny in the near future. Pinkie Mitchell. Richie's brother, is another lad who wants a crack at Leonard. WHAT RICHIE’S BROTHER SAYS. A statement made today by Willie Mitchell, brother and manager of the defeated Milwaukee boy, goes a long way to prove the effectiveness of Leonard’s punches. “The first punch that floored Richie turned the tide,” said brother Willie. “It dazed him and from that time on he fought in a state of semi-coma. If prevented him from taking advantage o' Leonard after he had floored the champ. The fight might as well have ended in that first round.” Leonard's critics—and he has had many—were silent today regarding his right to be classed as a legitimate lightweight. In making 134 pounds he proved that he is all that he has elaimed to be—and more. And in defeating Richie Mitchell, one of the gamest lightweights who ever drew on a glove, Leonard added a chapter to lightweight history that a'ways will be remembered with a thrill by every one who witn"ssed the bout. Leonard and Mitchell drew $133,745.60 into the Garden last night. They fought for the benefit of the fund to restore devastated France and the American committee in charge of the fund, hpaded t.y Miss Anne Morgan, will realize a hand--orae profit on the match after deducting 840.000 for Leonard. $20,000 for Mitchell and perhaps $5,000 or more for incidental .vpenses.

SENATOR NEW TO SEEKTOGAAGAIN Beveridge Activity Hastens Announcement. Senator Harry S. New will be a candidate for the Republican senatorial nomination in two years, according to publicity matter mailed out today by F. A. Miller, editor of the South Bend Tribune. Although the article takes the pluce of a formal statement from the Senator. Mr. Miller says that he was authorized by Senator New to send out the publicity. Politicians have all along regarded the Senator as a candidate to sueeed himself, and it is thought the activity of Fortner Senator Albert J. Beveridges who also is regarded as a potential candidate for the toga, hits hastened his announcement. TOGA CONTEST BEHIND FIGHT OVER PRIMARY (Continued From I’age One.) tion It s faced in the upper iieuse and the formidable opposition that developed is regarded by observers as significant/ None of those favoring a broader primary law is optimistic enough to predict that th” Alldredge bill, which applies the primn.v feature to nil State candid ties, will win, but there is a feeling of confidence that, an absolute repeal can be blocked. Observers are keenly interested in seeing a test of strength in the House before venturing a prediction on ’.he suc ess or failure of the administration program. HILL EXPLAINED BY ALLDRKDGE. In explaining hi.s*diii! at the hearing. Senator Alldredge said: Instead of requiring a majority of nil *he votes east in order to be nominated wider the present primary system, my hlli would make nomination possible by a plurality vote. It would not lie compulsory then for a candidate to go before both the primary and the convention in order to receive the nomination which he is seeking. The humbler citizens of tile State would have a voice In the selection of candidates f r all otii es OPPOSITION TO CONVENTION METHOD. Absolute opp- sitinii to the • oir.cntion system, uniess means were devised whereby the delegates to the convent ion could attend all conventions and bo paid for their services, was voiced by Senator Nejdl. ' If you would avoid political corruption you should have delegates attend all conventions, and they should lie paid all expenses and a moderate salary.” he said. Senator Nejdl declared that unless ail States of the Union adopt the presidential primary no State should have one. "The present presidential primary is a farce," he declared. “There is no demand from the general public for a change in the primary law," continued the Lake County Senator. "Only the politicians want to put the power of naming candidates in the hands of the old machine. "Delegates to conventions have been bought, can he bought and will bo bought again. I'nlc*s you .an produce proof of a public demand for a change in the present system I will oppose nny change."

LAW NOW TOO CUMBERSOME. ! Senator Beardsley contended that the i present law is too cumbersome and ex--1 l'ensiTo. He Insists that voters become j confused when they must select a nornl- | nee from a long list of names and declared that the convention, made up of | delegates selected In local primaries, pro | vides the ideal method. Mr. Beveridge's Interjection into the : fight was not unexpected. lie. seized the | first opportunity to make known his stnnd anil nt n meeting of the League iof Women Voters yesterday afternoon voiced unalterable opposition to the re- . peal of the act. j Asa result the woman adopted the following resolutions, which will fye for- | warded to the legislature: | Whereas, There is a movement on foot | before the present Legislature to repeal ! part of the primary law; and I Whereas, Such action would be a retroI grade movement and would partially | disfranchise the voter; and Whereas, The primary law is an or ganlc part of the general growth of democratic sentiment, demanding methods by which more direct responsibility of the Governor to the governed ran be secured ; and ' Whereas, The primary simply means ' the people have a right to express their choice directly and without th • inter ; volition of unnecessary machinery: and Whereas, The only revision necessary to the present primary law is In remedying minor defects and inconsistencies; therefore be it Resolved, That this body of women appeal to nil voters, both men and women, to resist any repeal of (he primary law or part of it. and further that this body support a measure to strengthen and advance the primary law. The motives of the supporters of Senator New in hacking the repeal of the primary are as well known as those that actuate Mr. Beveridge. The former feels that ho can stand a much better clmnce of nomination In a convention, while the latter feels that his success lies entirely through an appeal to the voters. Senator Watson is also for the convention, not so much for his lovo for Senator New, but for his dislike of Mr. Beveridge. W. H. Webster Dies; Had Varied Career Col. William H.
