LEONARD E. CHICAGO

mi KING J CUSS Milwaukee's Gamester is Knocked Out by Great Fighter in N. Y. Br jack vtiocfe: (t. v Servico Spoitingr Editor.) XW TORK. Jan. IS. Benny Leonard is still monarch of all her surveys. The little Hs'.iteie M champion of the -world stands today in a. class very much by htmsel. and He had demon-:rate-d ability, strength and -peed at ISi pounds that should cause arpre-h-nsiwn axnons the army of -outd-be .ihampion. wHo have been howling on his trail. . By Unockias out Richie. Mitcne.l .n :r rounJ at Madison Square Garden Leonard disposed of one of his. most .apable rivals and he did it in a manetr that left no doubt about his clas. Leonard's victory was the result of hi. prolific right hand and the collect head thst hie set upon the shoulders of a lightweight champion in the hislorv of the division. He started Mitchell on the road to lojeat in the first minute of the first .ound -with a tarnflc right-hander to the Jaw that flattened the Milwaukee hov for the count of nine. From that lime oa the Westerner fought :n a da.zed condition, bat fought the games mni most sensatlot.a! battle that New Vork has ever wiineseed. Before the first round ended and cfter flooring- Mitchell three times ionard himself floored by a hard :tt hooV to the chin that sent him down for the court of nine. That i -l mtirh force that it

knocked- lonard cross-eyed. For three or four secorda he did not knov That haJ Kir?". Then his quid; oriln cleared anJ ho took the count of nine. His henLd-tvork during the remain 4 r : of the round prevented Mitchell from foHowinir up the temporary advantage he had saned. and raved tte road t.- victory. The punch Mitchell landed on the rhamplon'o chin as hard enough to hire set the average lightireight to ilrea-mland and during the battle Ricfcle missed enough righthanders to have won se-rera! lightweight titles. Treble's punches hail the stuff in them but he did not have Leonard's address. tC of vhich, indicates that Leonard is a vizard In th art of taxing: care of himself. Leonard blames carelessness for the fact that Mitchell Moored him and in the sajn breath admits that the punch was the hardest he has ever stopped. "J'n-as knocked down becausa t g"ot a trifle careless fur a moment." said Leonard today. "I don't think It -was for any other reason. I under-esti-rr.ated Mitchell's ability in that moment because I had just floored him three times. That -was a very bad mistake on my part. It might have cost m the title. It -won't happen again. Incidentally that punch -was the hardest I ever stopped, but in a ay I'm glad now that I -was dropped. It proved to jny friends that I can take a punch." In the -wake of his victory, Leor.ard made the announcement that he will defend his title Just as often as the promoters can la up suitable chailenrers. "Let them bring cn the Tendlere. .Taekaocs. Dundess. Hartleys or any cf the others as fast as they like. I am ready for therti. Tendler is the r-nJ-v liffhtwela-ht of recognized cla

vh,OJO I have not rnet. but it has been no fault of mine- Let him come. ' Tendler and Jerkfon both challenged the winner of last night's bout and one of the pair -will probably be matched with Benny In the near future. Plnkte Mitchell. Richie's brother. Is Another lad -who "wants a. crarli .t Leopard. Jt' statement mads today by "Willi Ktehell. brother ajid manager of t.h defeated Milwaukee boy. goes lees; "way to prove the effectiveness of Leonard's stanches. "Th first punch that floored Tticbie turned the tide," said Brother WUlle. It daed him and from that time on he fought In a state of semi-coma. It prevented him from taking advantage of Leonard after he had floored the ejiamploru The fight might as well have ended in that first round." Lonard' critics and he has had many were ilnt today regarding his right to be classed as a legitimate lightweight. In making- lt pounds he proved that he Is ail that he has claimed to be and more. .nd In defeating rtlchle Mitchell, one cf the gamest lightweights who ever drew on a glove, Leonard added a chapter to lightweight history that will always be remembered with a thrill by everyone who witnessed the bout. Leonard "and Mitchell drew $1311,745.10 In to the Garden last night. The fought for the benefit of the fund to restore . devastated France and the American committee in charge of the fund, h&aded by Miss Ann Morgan, will realise a handsome profit on the match after deducting: $t.0n for Leonard. JIO.POO for Mitchell and perhaps Ji.Ot'O or more for, incidental expense?.
