LEONARD OUTBOXED WEIGH
In Ten Round Bout at Old Federal League Par-Benny Landed Frequent Blows the Champions Face and Head.

New York, July. 2S.-Benny Leonard outfought Freddy Welsh, the light weight champion, in eight rounds of a ten round bout at Brooklyn tonight
 The bout was held in the open at the old Federal league baseball park. Welsh was in much better shape than when he fought the New York light weight about four months ago. The champions weight at the ringside was 135 1-4 pounds, while Leonard weighed 132 1-2. Leonard seemed just a trifle overtrained, but no fault could be found with his condition. During the first five rounds Leonard did by far the cleaner work, his jabs landing forcefully on Welsh's face and head, while he occasionally ripped in strong left and, right body blows. In this first half of the fight Welsh seemed to be too careful in guarding his jaw and consequently fell short.
 Welsh cut loose in the sixth and seventh rounds and gave an exhibition of his old time skill, landing right a&d left hooks to the head and body and making Q rally in 8 neutral corner during the sixth. In the seventh, after an exchange of body blows, Welsh was the more effective by a good mar gin. But these two were Welsh's only rounds. Leonard outboxed and out pointed the champion in the ninth and tenth rounds, during which his foot work and quick lodging made Welsh's efforts seem somewhat wild
 Both men were guilty of clinChing toward the end of the bout.

service. The scores were G-4, 2-5, GA, 2-6, 6-3. Both players were exhausted when the match ended, particularly Niles, who in the morning had finished a. hard match against Richard Hart of Philadelphia, the Harvard football and baseball star. Niles was unable to get his net game going, Kuna gae passing him often and driving him to the back court. At the back court game the Japanese champion was at his best and soon had Niles worn out Kumagae will next meet the winner of the match between A. Ingraham of Providence and c. s. Garland of Pitts burgh.
 W. M Johnston of San Francisco the national champion, won an easy three match from Craig Riddle of Philadelphia, the Californian devoting the last set to practicing shots.
 A good match is expected tomorrow in the finals for the eastern doubles championship, when T. R. PelI of New York and R. Norris Williams. 2d, of Cambridge meet z. NJ. Church of Ten afly N. J., and w. E. Davis of San Francisco. Williams today showed a return to his old form and teamed up well with Pell, but the Church Davis combination is looked upon by many as the favoTites.

NATIONAL LEAGUEDS WANT
 21 PLAYER LIMIT CHANGED.
On Grounds That Americans Have
 Advantage in Worlds Series.

On the grounds that the National League twenty-One player limit rule gives the American League represen- tatives in the worlds series an unfair advantage, Charles II. Ebbets presi- dent of the Brooklyn Baseball club, has written to President Tener of the Ma tional League. recommending that Section g of the National League constitution be amended so as to allow the National League clubs to carry thirty-fiye players after August 20, the same as in the American League.
 Ebbets has presented the amend ment to President Tener, requesting the chief executive to immediately submit it to the members of the Ma tiOnal League to vote upon.
 That Ebbets is right in his conten- ton that the twenty-One player limit rule in the National League places the National League representatives in the worlds series at a, disadvan- tage, considering the American League clubs are allowed to carry thirty-ffve players, is plain, but it will come as a surprise to many that Eb bets is spOnser of the proposed amend nent. Ebbets was one of the most ar player limit and his change of atti- sude by many may be attributed to his confidence that the Brooklyn club will win the National League pennant and thus be a participant in the worlds series
 President Ebbets, however, says that his reason for favoTing the twen- ty-One player limit only was in line with the retrenchment policy necessi- tated by the war with the Federal League. With coalitions normal again the necessity of a twenty-one player limit is done away with, while the advantages of increasing the limit to thirty-five players becomes apDar- kJ,L rsff 1F1- twenty-one player limit places the Ma tionaI League entry in the worlds se- ries The aboIishing of the twenty one player limit rule in the National League will give the National League Dennant winning club the same chance to strengthen itself and fOrtify a against accidents as the American League entry will enjoy

5It Losses or L1s NIdWeek were
 Partly Retrieved.
 New York, July 22-Losses of the mid week were partly retrieved in the course of today's very lisIless and in- significant trading, which offered striking contrast to the operations of a year ago, when war brides were soaring to dizzy heights and daily dealings were averaging million shares. TOday's improvement was again effected at some cost to the short interest which evidently felt i'm pellad to cover contracts on the scar city of supply.
 Rails once more proved an eXCep- ton to the general tendency, mani testing much of their recent laSsitude, with further moderate selling of Ca uadian Pacific and New Haven. Read ing was more responsive to demand iu the final hour, however, when the leaders registered best prices.
 United States Steel was disposed to shake off it's recent heaviness, rising to SC 7-S, within the smallest fraction of it's top quotation on Wednesday, following the publication of the com pany'S quarterly earnings. Prominent war issues, equipments and independ- ent industrialS were one to two points higher, but United States Industrial Alcohol evinced it's usual uncertainty, ductuating within a range of 3 1-2 pOlI4lS dIIN CIOStII5 at ei 1lES gam OI q point
 Mexicans were more active and strong following adviCes from Wash ington indicating more favorable con- ditiOns across the border and Ten nessee Copper was bid up over two points against the bears. Shipping is- sues were uncertain, Mercantile Ma rines, keeping within narrow limits, with few dealings in United Fruit and pronounced strength in Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies. Sears R0ebuck, American Sugar, International Paper preferred and Adams Express fea- tured the miscellaneous group, all at higher levels. Total sales 240,OOO shares.
 Recovery of half a point in marks to 72 was the sole feature of the su- perfcial market for foreign exchange, all forms of remittance to Europe be- ing in very light demand.
