= OHNNY KILBANE, who closely
watched the welsh-Leonard con-
- test. comments as follows on the
bout and boxers:
Freddy wasn't knocked out, but I
know he would have been in a few
more seconds. If he ever got away
from that corner and slipped to the
floor, It is doubtful il he could have
arisen But he was not on the floor;
he wasn't counted out and the chances
are that the referee will be blamed
for stopping the bout too soon.

viduaI nor do like to see a help
less man battered and pummelled
into fnsensibflity. From n hu-
name viewpoint IL was the best
thing that could have happened,
but II was n championship fight
and there should be no IOOphoIe
left for an excuse TO belittle the
victor.
Benny Leonard is wonderful
boxer. He has everything a champion
should possess; speed. a good head,
generalship. and best Of all. a knock
out punch. His victory will be a big
boost for the boxing game, as the
fistic fans viii turn out TO boost
real fighter. Benny is popular be-
cause he always gives the public
run for its money and puts forth hon.

the ring. He is likely to wear the
crown a long time. for there are few,
If any. who can take it from him"

Who's Who In
Golfers World

= UST who is who, collectively If
not individually, in a golf way
- may be determined during the
third week in July. when the Profess
siona1 Golfers association will con-
duct its patriotic tournament. It has
practically been decided to muster
four teams Of IL men each. One will
be of Scotch players, another Of Eng
fish, another Of home breds. and a
fourth a picked team comprising
mostly amateurs.
The idea is to have three teams
play each other in a sort OF round
known just what course will be Sc
lected. The tournament will start
at Englewood on July "a. and on the
first day with a mixed foursomes
event. Every pro" will have a
chance to invite for a partner a wo-
On the second day at Englewood
the plan provides for a So hole medal
play competition, and it may be that
this will be made an open affair.
Players like Jerome Travers and Os-
valid kirkby would be reasonably
certain to make a good showing It
was at Baltusrol in 1915 that Jerry
led all the professionals in the ma
uonal open.
With the various teams represented
by their greatest strength, the com
petition would be well worth watch
ing. 1t has never been satisfactorily
determined whether among the resi-
dent pros" the Scots OF the English
would prove the stronger in a team
match.
1t is also an open question whether
or not the home breds would not be
able to muster an equally formidable
array. Individually they have cap
tured the lions share Of the titles
and money for the last five years
Courses mentioned in connection with
the team event are Lido, Garden City.
Baltusrol, Greenwich and Siwanoy.

PRESS AGENTS, NOT CLEVERNE5S
Makes FIGHTERS Of PRESENT DAY
Joe Choynsk, Former Heavyweight Championship
Contender, Says That Present Boxers Are Not
Nearly as Clever as They Formerly Were; Need
Good Press Agent, Then Able to Get Fights.
By JACK vEIOcK.

EW YORK. June 2s.-The Ia
M mentable lack Of eleverness
l among the big fellows who fol-
low the biting game today is very
ably explained BY Joe Choynski. vet
eran heavyweight. who was one OF
the best OF his day.
In answer to query on the part
Of the writer regarding the why's
and wherefores Of the elumsiness Of
present day heavyweignIs, Choynski.
who is now athletic director at the
Pittsburgh Athletic club. has laid the
blame at the door of the rules that
are in vogue.
AThe rules are to blame for n
great deal OF the lack of clever
ness displayed these days in the
ristie realm" says Joe.
Have the Queensbury rules
strictly adhered to and there will
be n big change in boxing circles,
because the 4rassIers' Will be
eliminated.
1t always amuses me to hear the
announcer shout: These bouts will
be straight Queensbury rules, hitting
in the clinches with one arm free
when. as matter Of fact, the
QueenSDurE rules strictly prOhtDit
hitting in the clinehes-
The rules in use today are moth
ing more nor less than the old Lon
don prize ring rules with the wrest-
ling cut out, and il is laughable TO
hear a referee tell the contestants TO
nit with one arm free and break at
his word. What authority has the
referee to tell boxers to break after
telling them 10 hit2 II one man is
holding and the other has arms free
they must break. anyhow
The referee earns his money and
looks wise as he expends his strength
breaking them In the old days box
ers knew the rules and the referee
never had TO touch them II they
persisted in clinching they were dis
qualified
Another thing that has hurt box
ing is the no decision bout. No one
loses and no one wins. The boxing
public wants 10 see Examinations and
it wants action for its money I think
that decision bouts is the only an
swer for the uplift OF the game and
believe that referees could stamp
out a great amount OF the betting by
announcing all bets off at the ring
side.

the day, and with the exception
of n very few they are jokes when
IL comes to chasing them a. box

Manager Moran at present is de-
pending his pennant chances on the
success of his tWirling staff and il
must be said that all of the pitchers
seem to be in great shape right now
OeschEer, who worked twice
against the Dodgers during the
recent series; Lavender. who is
kent in reserve, and Alexander.
Rixey and Mayer constitute what
IL considered one of the strongest
aEgregatiOns of pitchers in the
league, and one that is reckoned
to bring home the bacon for the
Philadelphia nine.
Manager Moran a short time ago
made the Dallas club of the Texas
league an offer for the services Of
.-Snipe" Conley, the sensational right
handler, who has won Is consecutive
victories down in the Lone Star state.
and is regarded as the find Of the
season It is certain that the young
pitcher is one of the best produced
by the fast class A organization in
many years and Moran considers him
self lucky in getting in on the ground
floor, even if the offer for the twirler
was refused.

Mr.. Atkinson, the real man behind
the Queensbury rules. was a friend
OF mine and he explained how the
rules we're drawn up and gave me
the why's and wherefores OF It It
was to eliminate the wrestlers and
put ginger and science into boxing
that the rules known as the Queens
bury rules were drawn up And those
rules are the only rules for real
boxers to follow.
Boxing today is like -four ball
bilhards-take one away and il takes,

ting IN the clinches and you'll have
boxing on the uplift again and bring

boxers Under Queensbury rules one
