For eight rounds the little New Tork Hebrew outboxed and outpunched the conqueror of Willie Ritchie. Then, when ttfe Englishman was tired and weak, Leonard finished the job. It happened in the first minute of the ninth round as they came together to start the session. Welsh went into a clinch. As the referee broke thm Leonard swung Welsh into his own (Benny's) corner. A right to the chin sent Welsh to his knees groggy and sick. He was game. He refused to take a e iunt. As he straightened up and reached for Leonard, hoping to get into a clinch that might save him. Benny stepped back and shot another crushing right to the Jaw. Welsh, Is Sent Sows. This punch again drove Welsh to th9 lower rope, and he finally sank to one knee. Leonard again stepped back and waited for the Englishman to arise' Slowly but surely Welsh got to his feet. J helpless but still game and unwilling to .take a count on the floor. Leonard, realising a championship and hundreds of dollars before him. rushed to close quarters and served out a terrible beating to the head and body. For fully thirty seconds he punched away at the champion. Kid McFarland, the referee, was finally forced to step In and stop the slaughter. As he went between the boys he grabbed Leonard, but as he reached for Welsh, punch-drunk, the fhRmrion staggered out of his grasp and fell over the lower rope, five feet at the right of Leonard's corner. Harry Pollock, Welsh's manager. thn jumped into the ring and carried Freddy to his stool, Leonard retired to his own corner and stood there for about five seconds before realizing for the first time that he was king of the lightweights. ieonmrd XUhi Xior. His first thoughts, however, were for the man he had beaten. He paid no attention to the tumultous ovation that wan being given him. hut walked right over to "Welsh's corner and kissed the defeated man. Welsh, still dared from the terrific punishment, but game to the very core, pulled himself, not unreluctantly. to his feet and offered a trembling right hand to his conqueror, upholding tradition that only a game man could display un-j rter such conditions. j It was a championship won on its; merits. Welsh can never dispute Leon ard's claim to the title. nOTI mAn are veronal sneaaaa-cs f fee people of tfcla tenaniiUT from the cnerckr-nta. ! 66.

DETROIT MICH,

Hammond vs. Garden City, Tarduhn park. Memorial Pay. 3 p. m. To the baechall fan that follows Chicago semi-pro baseball that sentence is enough, but to teh ones that doesn't quite "get it" here's an explanation. The Garden City team made it a golden rule some years ago never to leave their home grounds. They didn't. Consequently they have the name of being

! the "real big semi-pro ball club of ChiJ cago. They have beaten the best in j Chicago, all playing at the Garden City ! park. They wouldn't accept a game elsewhere. But a new champion looms up. This time H is a team outside of "Chi" Hammond. Perhaps Garden City would never had taken an interest in Hammond well, you know how those tnings go. "When a. team winx five. Etralgnt in the Chicago City league it usually wakes "'em up" and so it is. Hammond is nudging Garden City's "rep" and of course they don't like it, and theyre coming down here tomorrow to "clean up.' Just hr.w far they'll get with Pete Hennlng and his star fielders can't be doped, but it's no jolly in saying that the Memorial Pay game will be a memorial one. SHIPHEITCDF DAHCEY BOO!
