LEONARD

IS TAKING i CHANCES

Benny Not the Same Champ Who Met White. He Will Put Up Real Fight Sat. Benny Leonard U taking no chances with Fai Morin like he did with Charlie White at Benton Harbor and when he steps into the ring; at East Chicago next Saturday he will be in as good condition as h- eer has been. H admits that he has been -working hard m New York for a couple of weeks in petting: ready for thi. fight and trios'? who saw him before the July 4th fight can see that he Is not the same champ who came so near losing to White. It has been contended that" Moran didn't stand much chance against Leonard becanse the Italian does nt curry enough steam in his punches but Charlie "White contradicts that statement. Moran's left, so White said after his aecond bout with Moran. docs not carry steam enough for a knockout and is merely tantalizing but the right is all-powerful. In the third round ot that bout Moran brought across a riant hoolt which caught White squarely on ih chin. If the New Orleans boy hail stepped back then. White admits that he would have fallen but instead h's stood his ground and White fell into a clinch which saved him. Leonard ia not the kind of a champion who la willing to take advantage of the no-declsion bout and he will do ills best to get a win. He sterns little concerned over Moran's method of righting but it is a safe bet that he knows jest how the little Italian is going to act when he steps int the rir.s. He found it necessary at Benton Harbor to score a knockout in order to secure a win and nil indications point lha sm way for the Moran fight. If TTjite la good enough to outpoint Tenard a.id Moran can twice outpoint Wflit it 1 pretty good indication that he can ma.. things hot for the championThat is the reason so many fans are looking for a Moran decision or t-eonard knockout next Saturday and have already paid more than Jin. "09 for the privilege.

LEAGUE SCRAP ALMOST OVER

NEW TORK. S"pt. 23 Brooklyn and th Giants sat back todiy and rested on the eve of thir last tangle which will settle the location of the UIO National League pennant. In the American league Chicago and Cleveland were ready to fly at each other in the first of a three-game series that may djcid" where Fan Johnson's flag will win-. The National League scrap is practically over. If the Dodgers win so much as one game of the five they have scheduled with the Giants it will be impossible for the New Torkers to knock them at least a tie for the lead. One more game is scheduled between Brooklyn and the Braes. in addition to the

Quintet with New Tork and it is stretch. !

ing a rmt to imagine that the Boston gang might prove a stumbling block for the Dodgers. Two out of the five game n ith the Giants will cinch the bunting for the Krookljn team. lt is not improbable that the, American league hunt -will go down to the. final series of thm season. .Cleveland can prae. tically cinch the flag with three straight victories, but the White Sox have been going too strong to allow the Indians to trample them in any such fashion. The Sox, however, have not been overly strong as a road club this year. Cleveland is exerting every ounce of strength in the la.rt fight.

I INTERNATIONAL NEWS IfftVIClj CHICAJO. Sept. li Organized baseball's nenest scandal which simmered and bubbled at the first session of th grand fury Investigation yesterday. Is expected to come to a boll today when J. C. "Rube'" Henton. ritcher of the New Tork Giants, appears to testify. The poRs-.t.i.ity of a mrrrtber being scaled is admitted by those conversant with the situation. Henton Is expected to answer the charges made by Charles L. "Buck" Htrog, second baseman e-f the Chicago v""ibs that the Giants pitcher won $3.S"0 by betting on Cincinnati , in the world's sers of 1919, after he had received a telegraphic tip from Hal Ohase. former Giant flrstbaseman. that it had been "fixed" for the Reds to win. Benton is expected also to back up his charges that he was offered $300 by Herzog to "throw" & game to the Cubs in September of last year. Affidavits are in Herzogs possession and have been made public that Benton "scrapped together all the money he could get." and wagered on Cincinnati in the last world's series. The affidavits were made by Arthur Wilson, catcher and N. D. "Toney" Boeckel, third baseman of the Boston Braves. AVilson and Boeckel allege that Benton, In a conversation in the Hraddock Hotel. In New Tork last April, declared he had received a telegram from Chase adviing him to bet on Cincinnati to win the first two games. Herzog declared he had obtained the depositions from Wilson and Boeckel after Benton had charged him with offering the pitcher a bribe to "throw" a game to the Cubs. "Buck" declared h went to the office of President John Heydier. of the National League, when he heard of Bonton's charges and demanded an Investigation. Benton was called In. Herzog declared, and reiterated his charge In the presence of President Heydlcr. After an investigation Hoydler gave Herzog a letter, the player alleges, in which the head of the league expressed his belief that Herzog never had been involved in baseball gambling. The letter, Herzog says, la tn his possession. Herzog's charges against Benton and Benton's charges against Herzog are only one angle a the investigation .he grand Jury has undertaken. Assistant

State r, A-.lorney Harvey Replogle, conoucling tile investigation, haa made the public declaration that "the last world's series wa. not on the square." and that ' lrm U-.t to seven players on the V hite Sox i. com are involved." Replogle s statement la believed to have been inspired by testimony given Lciur.- the grand jury by Charles A. Oomiskey, president of the White box, Han Johnson, president of the American League, and other w itnesses who appeared esiterday. Details of the testimony of these w Unerases have not been made public. Both Johnson and Comiskcj, however, are known to have made investigation when charges of "cruokednesa" followed the world's aeries last fall. A number cf well know n. baseball men, plaiers, managers and magnates, are yet to appear before the grand Jury. Among them are Charles A. Stoncham, president of ihts New York Giants; John McUraw. manager of the Giants; John O. S. Seys, secretary of the Chicago tubs, Kay Schalk, White Sox catcher, Harry McCormkk. National League umpire who officiated at the recent CubsI'hJIlies game which is declared to have belli "fixed" in the interests ef gamblers; Samuel W.

COPENHAGEN'S WIN GAME The Copenhagens defeated the strong Liberty A. A. of Hammond Sunday, Sept. 19. 6 to 1. The Cophies were never in danger of losing the game playing in their usual form by not having any errors charged against them. I'hilly was on the mound for the Cophies and pitched a good game allowing only three hits and fanning 13 men. He had the Liberty gang tamed ltgtit from the first Inning only two men getting the three hits. Potts getting two and Hudson getting a scratcn hit.

Rosen took care of the Keystone sack. Miller played short and made somo nifty throws to first. Bloom played third and sure did put the pep in the old gang. The outer garden was taken care of by Sacher in left, O'Keefe in center and Furtyo in right.

All you men folks who have tired of cigarettes that lack snap and go cigarettes that are like flat tires on the road to smoke-enjoyment listen to this:

-away out in the Orient grow rich aromatic tobaccos. A long buying arm reached over and brought them to the U.S.A. then combined them with our home-grown full-bodied tobaccos. Out of the blend was born Spur Cigarettes. That rare, rich old-time tobacco taste and aroma is winning right and left. Besides, Spur Cigarettes have imported paper, rolled without paste. The crimped scam ?nakes Spurs burn slower, draw easier, and taste better. And that smart brown and silver package is three-fold to keep Spurs

right. You just can't stay on the fence once you have "met up", with Spur's good tobacco taste. Liggett 6? Myers Tobacco Co.

fiundty. Sept. 13. 1920, is a never-to-be-forgotten day for Hammond fans. On that day Hammond lost all interest In baseball and everything connected

with it due to the fact that Ham-

mond's All Star aggregation known as the Hammond K. of C. baseball team played at Indiana Harbor against the Twin City Kasejs and finished at the short end of a 15 to 0 score. Hammond must be given credit for thinking they had a good team, no man was ever arrected for what he thought

but It must be hard to have someone hit a person on the head and wake htm ! up to the fact that he was dreamingHammond never had a chance, Just as Ijempsey remarked abi-ut Miske, Twin

City ecoicd 9 runs tn the first inning and that w as Hammond s finish. They were helpless as babes only collecting 4 hits off Morgan pitching for Twin City while the Twin City lads got a total of 19 hits off Hilbrlch pitching for Hammond. Hammond fans no d'-'Ubt will go into hiding and forget that they ever had anything that looked like a ball team. The features of the game cannot be stated here in as much as the whole team starred at bat and also in the field, giving Morgan air-tight support and hitting well in the pinches. Next Sunday, Sert. 26. Twin City K. of C. baseball team will travel -to Boone Grove. Ind., near Valparaiso. The team and any fans that may go along will leave on the Pennsylvania train from Indiana Harbor. More information in regard to this trip will be given in the next article In Saturday's pa per.

NXW TORK, Sept. 23. Negotiations for tha proposed championship bout between Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, and John Sanche, the so-called Spanish champion, next January, are beginning to assume concrete form and there is reason to believe the match may be arranged.
