HEBE'S WHERE LEflifi

WELSH'S EDDSEFLESH

BT H. C. HAMlVTOIf (United Press staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, . May 24. Benny Leoniird. Nw York's 'wonderful lightweight, will have to just make the host cf it and try with all hie might when Jvc meets Freddie Welsh next Monday night in New York. He never will get a real, long-distance chance at Freddie's title, nor will he ever get a short chance in state where decisions can be given. Leonard's record is enough to shoot a streak of gooseflesh up Welsh's backbone. He has broken out with a rash of knockouts, distributed over the chins of a lon and healthy list of young men who have come up until they met the flying- fists of the New Torker. A string cf knockouts is something- th British oTodger nevex had attached to his name. Tn fact, there are very few instances In a glance at his record when an ob

server can find "k. o." after

name. It will be the third meeting- between th two boys. Some time ago. when Leonard hadn't perfected a knook-'em-rfead punch. Welsh agreed to meet him and was given the surprise of his championship life. Welsh was in poor condition and was given a sound beating: ry the youngster. Then they -were matched again. The bout was held in Washington Park. Brooklyn. The trimming Welsh gave Leonard in that encounter will be remembered as the most thorough thing that ever happened to a young shining light. Welsh punched holes In Leonard's defense tmi he moved so fast Leonard never was able to do more than lay a peevish finger on him. The third meeting; will come after a land drilling and building on the part

of Leonard. Having once defeated the champion, he has felt ever since that it needed only the proper condition to give him tiie -chance to knock the title from Welsh's head onto his own. Billy Gibson took Leonard into retirement shortly after he started handling his affairs, and he announced much to the amusement of the sporting public -that Lconnrd was developing a Joe Gans punch. Joe. the old-timers will remember, had a habit of dropping his fist on an opponent's Jaw from almost any angle, with the sudden result that the flg-ht was over. Leonard came out after working on

this punch and began to, lay out his'

opponents. His , right hand is the deadly mitt, but he is able to smash away with either hand. In fact, he uppercuts with the off-paw with fully as much vigor and accuracy as the

man's! average boxer does with the right one.

His punching is fast, his blocking excellent. He is the fastest worker today among the lightweights. He is a finished workman at putting his man

out. And he has the best chance to become the world's lightweight champion that has been the lot of a boxer since Welsh came Info doubtful possession of the crown. The end of boxing in New York state probably will sea Welsh's retirement for kesps. When they take away the big boxing center where he has been able to be beaten without losing his title be doubtless will be content to stop stalling and go to work on his health farm. Hence, it behooves Leonard to work fast and hard when he enters the ring with Welsh. The showing of the lightweight cham-

W'hat js to become of sports this summer, when the wa,r fills the people's minds, and the first pages of the newspapers and so- many of the heroes of the diamond are off in the ranks or on the battleships? The war is going to take the ginger out of baseball, and yet it would he better if it were not altogether so. It would be a great psychological victory for one to drop his columns of carnage and seek the seats of the bleachers. It would help the soul up on the happier altitudes of being. We fellows whose blood crawls along the arteries must have something besides gory battles to make life worth living. So keep up baseball Now is the time for it. If there is any idea of stopping ft. wait, till the war is over, and certainly as long as basket ball and golf have any claim on the. conscience. Take your base, play ball, out on first, instead of double quick to the trenches and bang. ban?, says an exchange.

piou against Johnny Kilbnne, the feather-

king, in their recent New York meeting, will swing betting in favor of Leonard. There will be plenty of betting, no doubt, that Leonard will stop the champion. The fans realize that Welsh is on the decline and they will expect to see a new lightweight champion after the Monday night go.
