Lightweight King Stops the Featherweight Champ in Third Round.

PHILADELPHIA. July 26. Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world, knocked out Johnny Kilhane. the featherweight king, just before the end of the third round of their scheduled si-round battle at Shibe Park last night. At the time Kilbane was on the floor with a count of five hanging over him. Just as the timekeeper reached for his bell. Jimmy Dunn, the defeated man's manager and second, threw a towel into the ring. It was a merciful act on the rrt of Kilbane's mentor, who has also been Johnny's lifelong friend. Kilbane could have, gone no further. He climbed gamely to his feet, but his legs wer- paralyzed from the right hook to the jaw that finished him. He staggered and reeled backward all over the ring and would have fallen again but for the fact that his seconds rushed through the ropes and acrried him to his corner. It was Leonard's fight from start to finish. He outboxed and outslugged his lighter opponent all the way. with the exception of a right urrercut that Johnny landed in the second round. Johnny failed to get home any other blows except a few long tapping lefts. Starting the third round- Leonard realized his superiority. "While Tie had been tapping and Jsbbing before, he row let his blows go with decision and force behind them. The round was not twenty seconds old before . Leonard crossed a terrific right to the chin. The punch sent Kilbane against the ropes in Benny's corner and Johnny sank to his haunches. Leonard backed away and gave his opponent plenty of chance to arise., then he tore inagain.

Ray "Rabbit" Powell. The Boston Braves have finally decided to get hold of a regular outfield and show a little strength in this department. The Braves have always been weak in the outer gardens and not since the world's series days of Mann, Whitted and Moran have they had any real outfield class. The recent purchase of Ray "Rabbit" Powell, of "the Providence International league club is cheering news to Braves fans. Powell is one of the outfield stars of the minors, speedy in the field and on the bases.

COLLEGE AUTHORITIES TO WAGE ' BATTLE OF OPINIONS ON ATHLETICS.

NEW YORK. July 26. While the- executive committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association holds only an advisory position in its relations with the individual members of the association, the result of the coming conference to consider the status of college t ports during the war will have a far-reaching effect on intervarsity athletics. The organization, with a membership of close to 200 of the leading

colleges and universities of the country,' includes on its roster the names of all

the principal institutions ajid sectftmal groups. As a result the conference at 'Washington on August 2 will in reality be a gathering of the athletic authorities of th euniversities and colleges of the country for a national varsity expression of opinion regarding what form, if any, college athletics shall take during the company collegiate year. It is quite evident from various forecases of individual sentiment among the prospective

delegates that there Is to be a wiUe difference of opinion on this subject, and it would not be surprising If the discussion was both lengthy and complexed. Sectional sentiment Is certain to have an important bearing on the attitude of the various delegates. Considered broadly the middle and far west may" be said to be in favor of a continuation of Intervarsity spot, even though limited by certain restrictions deemed necessary in view of war conditions. In the east there is not the same unanimity of opinion on this point. If the mere number of college were to be considered, it is probable that those in favor of continuing athletics would be found to be in the majority. Those institutions which are opposed to this course, however, include several of the largest and oldest in the country and the absence of their so-called "classic" intervarsity contests Is ex

pected in some quarters to set a fashion

The conference may decide to what extent baseballfl. rowing, track athletics and other outdoor sports should be provided for next spring, while winter competition in basketball, hockey, wrestling, gymnastics, etc., will also be considered. The question of abandoning, temporarily at least, the one-year and the freshmen rules will come up for discussion and it is probable that any recommendations made by the executive committee of the JC.
