LEONARD AND WHITE
MAY Be NEXT CLASH
Lightweights Who Lug K. o.
Punch to Start Winter Pro-
gram Off in New York.
LEONARD GETS SEASONING

When the real winter boxing opens
in New York shortly it is likely the
initial thriller will be ten-round
mixup between the best pair of knock
out gents in the light division
Charley White of Chicago and Benny
Leonard OF New York.
This match has been hanging fire
for many ,months-in fact, it was
nearly year ago that Nate Lewis.
manager for White, started the wires
working with such match as the
objective point. But in order to clinch
this contest there were two sides to
be considered, and while White was
more than willing. Leonard and his
manager, Billy Gibson. weren't so
anxious to take chance against the
Chicago left hook artist.
Why Gibson Delayed Match.
There was reason, and perfectly
good one, why Leonard wasn't anx-
ious to battle at that time, but of
course Gibson, astute manager that he
is, didn't divulge it for public con-
sumption. If he had, great many of
the fight bugs would have put the
easterner down as afraid to tackle
White. But Gibson did tell Lewis his
reasons, which were that Leonard
was too much of kid in the game
and needed more experience before
going against an experienced ring
ster of Whites caliber.
That was a perfectly frank answer
to the efforts of Lewis to secure a
match with Benny, and the Chicago
manager was forced to let things slide
along as they would until Gibson and
his scrapper believed they were ready
to tackle White. Now it seems the
finish of the sliding is about here, for
things that have happened in the last
few months have changed the COM
plexion of affairs in the lightweight
division and Leonard and his pilot
believe they are now ready tor any
thing in the class.
Shows Change of Heart.
While Gibson does not come out
flatly and state that he is not as
timid about sending his protege
against White as he was few months
ago, it was perfectly evident from his
conversation few days ago, when he
passed through Chicago on his way
to Kansas City, where Leonard fought
Ever Hammer, another Cnicagoan,
last Wednesday night and it wouldn't
be a hard thing to arrange match
between Leonard and White for a
New York ring.
II seems that since White failed tc
do any damage to Champion Freddy
Welsh in that now famous bout al
Colorado Springs, although he had
twenty rounds in which to do it. his
stock has taken drop, and the other
chaps, even of lesser importance in
the lightweight division, are willing
to take a chance against the LETT
hooker. Any one who says that Char
ley looks as formidable since thai
performance as before it would draw
a big laugh. and be considered come
dian. Regardless of the decision II
| that contest, which went to Welsh
it must be said that White didn''
make the effort he should have made
and which was necessary IT he was te
finish on the winning end.
Good Attraction for Opening.
| Leonard and his manager evidently
look at things in this light, too, fol

Pete.Lyck Gets an
Offer from Peoria

Pete Lyck, who ranks as about the
classiest amateur or semi-pro back
stop around these parts, has been
offered a contract for 1917 by the
Peoria club in the |. |. l. league.
Pete waD the regular catcher for the
Brandeis squad this year.
Lyck almost started out in pro-
fessional base ball year ago, but
then thought he had better postpone
It while. He is seriously consider
ing the Peoria offer now Pete has
yet to reach the voting age and
Omaha fans who have seen him in
action are confident that he will be-
come a second Ray Schalk when he
gets little older and gets more ex-
perience.

MatheWson Starting to
Rob Diamond Cradle?

Manager Mathewson of Cincinnati
has picked up a pitching marvel, who
is only II years old. This lad simply
had to break into a major league at
this tender age, because, it is said, he
could not get any catcher in the anna
teur or semi-pro ranks who could
hold his delivery. His name is Febris,
and he halls from Ripley, o. In his
last amateur game, Febris struck out
nineteen batsmen.
Since no one could hold Febris de-
livery when he got those nineteen
strikeouts, the catcher merely knocked
down the pitched balls and got nine
teen assists, a worlds record by
throwing out the runner at first base.

Jennings to Cut Down
Length of Training Trip

If the trip with the New York
National league club proves success
full next spring, it is quite probable
that the Detroit Americans will cut
down the length of their season at the
southern training camp. Manager
Jennings and most of the players be-
lieve that the long siege Of training
at a spring camp does more harm
than good, because the majority of
major league players keep in reason
ably good conditions during the win
ter months. Jennings believes that
best results could be obtained from
shorter stay in camp to condition
his men, followed by series of sharp
games with major league opposition.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT is OVER.
THROWN IN SOUTH DAKOTA!
Shall the People Rule?

Oficialdom has repealed the
Richards primary law which the
people adopted by the direct vote
in 1912. and which the people,
themselves refused to repeal by a
second vote i'm 1914. The 1915
legislature. nevertheless. repealed
it and also attached the emergency
clause to prevent the people from
referring this act of the legislature
to a vote.
The politicians do not want the
Richards law. They want the Sc
cret spoils system for the few. in
place of the open merit system for
everybody. They want the pre-
sent confused ballot. They do not
want issues discussed so the people
can hear both sides before they
vote as is provided in the Richards
law.
The people have therefore again
petitioned for the Richards law
i'm amended form to be voted on at
November election. Vote YES"
and put it back to give it a fair
trial, and let officialdom know that
"Under Goa the People Rule" i'm
