LEONARD GOING TO RUST "OUT

By H. C. HAMII.TOIT (TJclted Frees Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July 12. For some reason net yet given the public Billy Gibson is allowing Benr.y Leonard, formerly ane of the most active lightweights the country had ever known, to loaf on his lauiels and to grow rusty from inaction. With one of the best matches in sight the fans ever were known to sigh for Leonard is holding aloof, and, while Johnny Kilb&ne is eager to form his half of the bout he and his manager are going no further than mere statements. Leonard and Kilbane have been offered various sums for their appearance in a scrap for the world's lightweight championship. Matt Hinkel. the famous Cleveland referee and promoter, came out with the first offer the very night Leonard was successful in bouncing Freddie Welsh's crown onto his own head. He came to New York for the purpose of trying to stage a bout between Kilbane and Welsh, but switched to the new champion when Leonard was crowned. Hinkel offered $25,000 for the bout and offered to stage it over a fifteen round distance in Ohio. Jimmy Dunn was agreeab!e for Kilbane to go through with it, but Gibson held off and is still doing so. .t Next John Weismantfll, who holds a license to operate bouts in Ebbets Seld. TBrooklyn, came through with a wad of kale to offer for the bout. I5ut theri was nothing doing. Gibson declared Leonard would not sign for any bouts until he had entered some branch of service "in the country's war on Germany. The sentiment was nice, - but Leonard had gone no further with either idea at last reports. The "most recent offer came "from

Colorado, where they were so vulgar as j

to offer the two champions a $zo.uuu purse for a twenty-round tilt. Managers for both men were shocked and then replied there was nothing doing. ..We can do better in the East" was the unanimous answer they sent to the Coloradoans. Meanwhile the fight fans are waiting. They know the best match in years is possible. They are beginning to feel it never will be offered them.

MARKS STATE TDUM

IXDIAN'APOLIS. IXB.. July 12. The second day of the annual Indiana state

trapshoofing tournament got under way!

today with competition for the secretary's cup and fourteen other events. The Harry C. Stutz trorhy wi'l be awarded to the marksman having the

decision over Charley Weinert

leged heavyweight from New Jersey, and this was the signal for Harry Pollok to turn loose on the poor fans of New York state a ream or so or statements concerning the shortcomings uX Fulton. Fulton won his fight in the second round of a scheduled ten round go when the referee stopped the bout after continually waininjr Weinert against foul

ing. At the very start of the melee j

Weinert sank his f.sts low into Fulton's abdomen. He was warned repeatedly, yet he finally lost his bout just for that reason. Weinert can't bent Fulton. He can't make evrn a haif-w.iy interesting match for the big fellow. Fulton simply outclasses the Jersey scrapper. Harry Pollok's cries have become too old to be taken seriously by any one. lie never has faiied to have an alibi ready when one of his stable took a beating. His antics after Freddie Welsh was deprived of his title by Kenny Leonard were in keeping with his statement, when he claimed Freddie had been unfairly decided against. Any one who saw Fulton and Weinert when they came together in New York last winter while I'ulton was going bo well could not help but feel Weinert was in for a ba beating when it was announced Buffalo had arranged for another nseeting between them. When they tangled in Madison Square Garden under the direction ff the late Grant Hugh Brown Fulton was so inucli better, so much the harder puncher there was nothing to the bout but a joke and a feeling of pity. Weinert was punched off his feet. That's exactly what will happen if they come together again. Weinert ns a scrapper isn't even to be considered in the same breath with Fulton.
