JEONARD EASY FAVORITE OVER BUFFALO RIVAL I ight.rjight Title Bout Toiight_Arouses Much Interest—Kansas’ 2d Chance. OCKY IS RUGGED BOXER NEW YORK, Feb. 10— After a raid and bumpy career down the long, ig trail. Rock Kansas gets there tojht. The chunky, squat little Italian from iffalo meets Benny Leonard for the ;htwelght championship in Madison uare Garden. It has been sheer pluck hind his elevation from a prelim boy a championship boot that will bring a $17,500, as well as a chance to fame and fortune. Kansas has had one of the toughest 38 1n the ring to rid himself of thl econd rater” brand, that was attached him for no reason whatever. He batid his way to a bout with Leonard in rsey last summer, and when he stayed elve rounds with the champion all the dit he got was the cynical comment — ieonard let him stay.” He was still a second rater until he llshed off Richie Mitchell and beat illie Jackson and Lew Tend\v. Now stands as the one lightweight next to jonard. If he goes down tonight the told you so's" will repeat “'He was ily a second rater. It will be the jinx public opinion that 1 as always camped his trail. Leonard will enter the rijig tonight an erwhelming favorite despite the frelently expressed belief that he is not mself at 135 pounds. With his known staste for the judge system of awardg decisions, the champion's backers tow that he will go in to win by a lock-out to avoid any chance of losing s title by poor judgment of the ofilals. Kansas has one great asset —his abily to "take it.” He is rather freakish build, is very strong and sturdy nnd can hit. If the champion gets carets like he did with Richie Mitchell he ay get his crown knocked back. To n, Kansas must knock out his opinent. He cannot compare with sonard as a boxer and if both are on eir feet at the end of 15 rounds, it's five-to-one shot that the champion will t the decision on points, unless he ould be subjected to a terrible beating. There is an ominous note in I.ieonard's •reword on this fight. The champion is refrained from predicting a victory rer the knockout route. Therefore it ill occasion no surprise if he “goals” le Italian. Whenever a fighter says [’ll stop him inside of such and such round,” the battle always goes the mit. But Benny has made no threats - promises He is known to be in ex■llent condition, and if he is still a real lampion he should flop Kansas inside ! fifteen rounds. It is a real “smile week” for Kansas, > matter what the outcome of tonight’s fair may be. At prices ranging from . to sls the house has been sold out id should gross well fiver SIOO,OOO. eonard probably will receive close to i0;00p for his night's work and Krnsas on’t fare so badly himself. Both .’re orxing on percentages. The public probably will pay approxiafefiy $150,000 to see the fight, but many loxsands of these dollars won’t reach le Rickard coffers. Speculators have lenty of choice seats and have been illing them for prices as high as SOO tair for ringside parking space.

KILBANE ANSWERS CRITICS. CLEVELAND, Feb. 10.—Johnny Kil*ne, featherweight champion, isn’t gog to Europe this March to pick up easy old. That is what he told the I’nited ress today answering the charge of nglish sport writers to the effect he was •ossing the pond on a “leg pulling” ex■dition. “Who is there for me to fight in Amera?” he asked. “Surely the public doesn’t want, me to >x such scrappers as Defoe, Sieger and erman?

According to Johnny, he's going abroad i get a crack at Albert Wyns, Belgium lampion of Europe, or Eugene Crique ; France. Joe Fox, England, also is a ssibility.

M. andls, baseball commissioner. Ten iseball clubs will pay fines totalling veral thousand dollars as the result of ese decisions. The Cincinnati club will pay Pitcher iff Markle $4,000. Markle was sent to tlanta by the New York Yankees under secret agreement. Later Cincinnati obined Kim from Atlanta for a couple of ayers. New York protested the sale, it later withdrew the protest when It arned that, the secret option was a viotion of the baseball Pules.

NEWS OF THE DAY IN

Columbus Fighter Earns Decision in Main Bout at Fort Walters Outpoints the Clever Joe Rivers—Morrelas ' Defeats Teddy Dixon. BY HEZE CLARK. Twenty-two rounds of fast boxing and a real old-fashioned battle royal formed the entertainment for boxing fans who packed the Ft. Benjamin Harrison clubhouse last night. It was the largest crowd that ever witnessed a boxing show at the fort and the program was one of the best ever staged by the Ft. Harrison Athlettic Club. Joe Walters of Columbus, Ind., won a decision over Joe Rivers of Ft. Harrison, in eight rounds of clever boxing and hard hitting. The bout was the main go of the show and it was a whirlwind affair with something doing every second. Walters weighed 157 pounds and j Rivers weighed 153 pounds. i In the six round semi-wind up Battling ' Marrelas, the “fighting soldier,” won a decision over Teddy Dixon of Morristown, Ind. The boxers weighed in at 142 , pounds. The soldier had too much for Dixon. The Morristown boxer was popular with the crowd, for never did a fighter try harder than Dixon, who kept wading in for more, but the clever Morrelas had a fade-away style of defense that Dixon could not solve. Morrelas was hardly touched in the first two rounds, while he time and again landed clean, hard stinging blows on his opponent’s face and body. Dixon improved as the battle ,went on but Morrelas had the better of every round. The second preliminary a four-round affair, brought out anew fighter to the boxing fans of Indianapolis. Freddie Bordie, 130 pounds, was Introduced us claiming Covlugtou, Ind., as his home. He has recently returned to Indiana from Alabama, where he fought a number of matches. Bordie met Arthur Duffy, 134 pounds. of Indianapolis, in a fourround Dout. Duffy had made a great showing In other fights at Ft. Harrison and the crowd expected he would win last night. Bordie proved a surprise package. In the opening round Duffy started things with a rush, but was met with a stinging right and left hook to jaw that slowed him. From that time until the end of the fourth round Bordie showed he was a two-handed flghtei with a punch and his ability to land that puuch with either glove was remarkable. Bordie, won a well-earned decision. Two little fellows put up a clever boxing exhibition In which they exchanged swats In rapid fashion. Shifty Lewis of Lafayette fought a draw with Harry Dempsey of Indianapolis In four rounds. Seven colored boxers appeared in the ring for the battle royal. Three were placed tack to back in the middle of the ring and the other four each had a corner. It was a wild mix-up and the seven battled. Most of them were strangers to each other, having been selected from different parts of Indianapolis. The contestants in the battle royal were: Ernest Miller, James Parker, Archie Bowman, James Powell, Johnny Stevens, Edward Jacobs and Isicks Robinson. In turn each man took the count until Ernest Miller was the last man left standing on his feet. Miller won the battle royal. The boxing fans knew that the Walters Rivers affair was going to be a real battle, and when the two boxers entered the ring the excitement was at fever heat. Walters started things in the first round and opened up with some wallops that had plenty of steam In them. Walters gained a big edge over his opponent in the first four rounds. Then Rivers seemed to show some of the oldtime cleverness and punch. In the last four rounds Rivers fought hard. Walters met him all the way and there was little to choose between the men in the last four rounds, but the fighting of Walters in the first four rounds of the scrap gave him an edge that won him a decision. Walters showed best in the third round, when he landed time and again on Rivers' jaw and seemed to have the fighting soldier going. Rivers displayed wonderful comeback powers as the fight advanced, and in the sixth round he showed at his best. It was a great fight and there is some talk at Ft. Harrison of matching Rivers and Walters for a ten-round boxing contest.
