Eastern Report Declares
That Washington Club
Goes to Canada.

Toronto, ont. June 1S.-The Maple
Leafs-Toronto's representation in the
international league. viii replace
Washington as a member Of the
American league circuit next year.
Toronto's record OF outdrawing the
other cities OF the International
league last season under war condi-
tons apparently has made an indeIible
impression in the major leagues.
II has just dawned upon the fans
that the real reason for the string of
major league exhibition games given
here this season was that the bowers
that be in organized ball desired to
gain inside knowledge relatiye TO the
drawing power Of baseball in this
city, so an unwritten but hitherto
iron clad rule of baseball was sus-
pended to enable teams Of the rival
leagues to meet in Toronto.
No changes are contemplated in the
National league, but the American
league. which has always regarded
Washington as the weakest link in
its chains Is now more firmly con-
WINGED than ever that the United
States national capital must be elm
mated from the circuit Washington.
like Toronto, has been on trial
Washington has again been weighed
in the balance and found wanting,
while Toronto has so deeply IMPRESSED
the baseball mOsuls that il NAV now
be positively stated that the Wash
ingtOn American league franchise will
be transferred here next season.

BENNY LEONARD
REFUSES BOUT
Lightweight Champion
Would Rather Enlist
Than FIGHT.

Benny Leonard and his manager,
Billy Gibson, have been turning down
many good offers for matches owing
to to draft law. Benny announced
his intention OF enlisting whether he
won the title or not. and he wants to
make good. Manager Gibson has
been looking around 50 as to place
Benny where he can get permission
to box from time to time and also
attend to his military duties Benny
wants to be an aviator like Georges
Carpenter, the French champion,
but manager Billy thinks he Is tax
ing unnecessary chances In fact.
Billy would much rather have his
prOtege Join the ambulance corps or
become a cook Benny would look
swell as a French chef and he might
have Richie Mitchell and Charlie
White as assistants.
At any rate Mr.. Gibson turned
down $4,000 flat to box Johnny XII
bane Il rounds at Dayton. Ohio, July
4, and another offer Of $4,000 flat to
box Charlie White in Milwaukee
Just think OF turning up your nose
at a paltry $4,000 for a couple Of
nO-decisiOn oOutsl II is no fault OF
the little champion that he is not
boxing every week, for II he had the
say in arranging matches he would
meet any lightweight. as he thinks
they all look alike in the ring.
