Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, April 12. IT SEEMS rather natural to write that Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee are going to box again. In days gone by, the sports editors were always writing that Leonard and Dundee were going to box again. No other pair of little fellows ever battled with such frequency. They used to meet three or four times a year. Some of the less tolerant critics were disposed to view their frequent meetings with suspicion, and probably there were times when the boys were merely going through the motions. a a a 1 wtl talking about this with Leonard Friday. "You ran brlievr me or not." be laid, "but I ru always in there swinging against Dundee. He a great little fighter and it ii unfair to him to Insinuate that anybody had to carry him." Leonard says he never met an opponent who had so much energy and stamina as the Italian. "That's one reason why be mas slrjti dangerous. He never gave you a chance to rest. He was Just as stronr after a rally as before. a a a The first lime I met him up at the Old Harlem Sporting Club, I was dead tired after the fight. I had to sit In my corner and rest before I could leave the ring. He only knew one pace, and that was to keep everlastingly on the go." a a a Incident tally, for than fight. was paid S.IOO. The most he ever got for fighting Dundee was $6,900. A Leon-ard-Dundee fight today would probably draw 50,000 customers. a a a L' EONARD was one of the greatest lightweights of all time. He had a fine knockout punch, was thoroughly game and confident, fast and clever, and he was enthusiastic about fighting. Billy Gibson, his manager, used to say, “the only trouble I have with Leonard is getting him enough work.” Few managers are troubled that way today. Ever so often an apprentice lightweight comes along, topples over a few camemberts and you are told that "a second Leonard” has arrived. a a a This peculiar form of distorted enthu■iasm is particularly violent in the metropolis. First It was lavished on Sid Terris, then Ruby Goldstein and now Al Singer. About all any of these fellows had In common with Leonard is that they are of the same nationality. Neither Terri* nor Goldstein would have made capable sparring partners for the former champion, and Singer has a long way to go before he can lay a claim to real greatness. a a a Leonard was only 18 years old when he fought Johnny Kilbane, at that time the featherweight champion. A year later he was holding his own more or less with Freddie Welsh, the lightweight champion. Virtually from the start he was a great battler. The old Garden was packed the night Leonard and Welsh met for the first time. The \customers paid more than $30,000 to see the action. Os this sum. Leonard got $1,400. In those days the challenger got none the best of It at the turnstiles when trying for a title. a a a "I bare pleasant memories of that fight,” says Leonard. "After it was over I was introduced to Mrs. Welsh. She wss • real boxing fan. She said to me: "I never want to see Freddie beaten, but if he ever Is. I hope you win tbe ebam- , pionshlp.’ Well, it happened that a little later on I did win the championship from Welsh and the following day I got a letter from Mrs. Welsh congratulating me. ‘l'm broken hearted, but I wish you all the luek in the world.’ she wrote. I still have the letter. 1 think it was a beautiful thing." a a a LEST any one get the notion from the opening paragraph of this column that Leonard and Dundee are going so fight again, I hasten to add that they are merely coming back to spar a few rounds for He.vwood Broun s “Give a Job till June" benefit at the Imperial theater tonight. a a a •'Please don't bill It as an exhibition.” pleads Leonard. “Too many people already have tbe notion that that was all any of our fights were.'*

A. A. TEAMS WIND UP PRACTICE OVER WEEK-END

Approach of Opening Day Sees K. C. Blues Picked as Favorites Indians to End Exhibition Schedule in Games With Terre Haute Today and Sunday; Corriden Strives Hard to Improve Batting. BY EDDIE ASH All American Association clubs will wind up hard practice over the week-end preparatory to opening the twenty-ninth championship race Tuesday, with the western clubs supplying the visiting attraction in the four eastern cities. The Indians drew the pennant-winning K. C. Blues as opponents and Indianapolis will be one of the high spots of interest whe the curtain goes up inaugurating another title campaign. After completing their spring exhibition program with games today and Sunday with the Terre Haute Three-I League club, the Tribesmen will take light exercise Monday and then go into a huddle to discuss the plan of battle Tuesday when they dash out onto the field follow* ing the gala parade.

Willie Luc iiuuie *uiic taiicu w show to advantage Friday when thumped by Terre Haute, 7 to 3, Manager Corriden is convinced his pastimers will recover their form by the time the official bell rings starting the A. A. teams on the 154-game schedule. Blues Are Powerful Kansas City is a favorite to repeat as the pennant winner, for Dutch Zwilling took the crown last year with a lengthy lead and this year his regular lineup again stacks up powerful and his reserve talent is strong. Johnny Corriden is elated over the return of Clyde Barnhart to the Tribe lineup and believes the Indians have possibilities if the pitching staff is bolstered and another experienced outfielder is obtained. It's true several of the Indians have fallen away at bat since coming up from Florida, but the Tribe pilot attributes the let-down to a preseason slump, for he has given everybody daily hitting practice. The Tots of Terre Haute came to Washington park Friday by special quest one day ahead of schedule and proceeded to upset the double A athletes. Feeling they needed the benefits of a regular game, the Indians decided to play three tilts instead of two with the ThreeI leaguers and found the Toes willing opponents. Tribe errors helped in the downfall, l#ut the real surprise came in the hit column, where the Indians placed only seven times. BUI Slightly Wild Bill Burwell got touched for seven safeties in six innings while Mike Cvengros allowed only one in three rounds. In the case of Burwell, he got very poor support, although his control was not up to standard despite the fact he struck out seven visitors in seven innings. It took a home run by Barnhart to break the scoring ice for the locals, and this tremendous swat did not come until the fourth stanza. Howard Freigau got a bad break after making a good stop with the bases filled in the sixth. With two out he scooped Mullen’s hot shot and

last year when the Athletics won by eighteen games,” he said. “The Yankees will be dangerous if they get the pitching. The St. Louis Browns have a great manager in Bill Killefer and will always be near the top. The Chicago White Sox will be the surprise club of the league. The Athletics, however, are better fortified with reserves and have more confidence in themselves than last year.” The battle in the American League seems to revolve around second place, with four, and perhaps five clubs picked as contenders for the runner-up position. Bush Is Honored Five out of the eight American Sox, under the driving leadership of Leagues writers think the White Ownie Bush, will stir up plenty of trouble. The Boston contributor, however, picks the White Sox to land in the cellar. The majority of National League critics predict trouble for the Cubs unless Rogers Hornsby is in good shape physicially and able to play at top speed all year. In picking the Pirates to win, the Pittsburgh scribe said: “Injuries alone prevented the Pirates from winning last year. They have one of the greatest outfields in baseball and the infield is improved by Gus Suhr.” Pirates Chances Hurt The Philadelphia contributor believes that the Pirates’ pennant chances have been ruined by the trading of Burleigh Grimes to the Boston Braves. Opinion of the Cardinals is scattered, and they have been picked to finish in every place except first and last. The Giants are not regarded as serious contenders. Most writers think they will be lucky to land third. Brooklyn and Cincinnati are expected to be t>" horses of the National League race mam TUT LOSES ON FOUL Bv United Prces MILWAUKEE. Wis., April 12.
