MITCHELL WANTS
ANOTHER CHANCE AT
THE NEW CHAMPION

Milwaukee, Wis. May 29.-Ritchic
Mitchell, Milwaukee lightweight boxer.

a challenge to Benny Leonard, new
lightweight champion of the world, for
a 20-round bout. Leonard recently
scored knockout over Mitchell in this
city, the end coming in the seventh
round
The Butte daily post., 1917-05-29

NINTH ROUND IS
FATAL To WELSH
Benny Leonard is New Light
weight king--has Best of
Mill All the Way.

New York. May 29.-Whcn Benny
Leonard won the lightweight cham
pionshp of the world from Freddie
Welsh of England here last night hc
scored his fifth consecutive knockout
in us many weeks. Referee Mcfarland
stopping the bout when Welsh was
hanging hclpleSSly on the ropes in
Iconard's corner II was n technical
knockout and will be credited as such.
Last night Leonard. who scaled tho
lightweight limit of 1873 pounds, was in
splendid physical condition when he
entered the ring. Welsh also was IN
fine shape and weighed lA pounds
more than his opponent From the
tap of the gong Leonard was the ag-
greSsor. and while Welsh clevcrly
blocked many of Lconard'S punches,
the younger man scored heavily with
his swinging lcfts and hard right-hand
smnSheS to the stomach and ribs. DC
casionally Leonard got his right over
to the head and stung his opponent
frequently with left iabs and hooks to
the fnce and Jaw.
Welsh protected his jaw during the
early rounds, hut as the fight pro-
crossed he showed signs of weakening
from the heavy body Furnishing and in
the ninth was felled three times by II
right cross to the jaw.
When the Englishmnn struggled To
his feet at the count of three for the
third time Leonard smashed him with
u shower of lcfts and rights. Welsh
hung hclpleSsly on the ropes and was
in danger of slipping through to the
floor outside of the ring when the
referee iutcrfercd and stopped the bout
to save the former champion from fur
thcr punishment.
Leonard declared that he would en-
list in the army after boxing Joe Wei
ling at Philadelphia next Monday
night.
Johnny Kilbanc of Cleveland. rccog-
nizcd worlds feathcrwcight champion,
before the bout began challenged the
winner.
The new champion was born in New
York on April Z, 1896, and is of Hebrew
origin. He began his ring career in
1912. During that year he was knocked
out twice, once by Mickey Finnegan in
three rounds and by Frank Fleming In
seven rounds. In 1914 he was again
knocked out by Fleming in five rounds.
The balance of his bouts have been no
decision affairS or he has won by a
decision or with a knockout. He met
Welsh twice in 1916, the bouts being
l0-round, no-dcciSion mills. In both.
however, he was given credit by the
ringSiderS of having the best of the
EngliShman. His most recent conquest
was in Milwaukee, when he knocked
out Ritchic Mitchell, the pride of the
Brewer City fans and man who was
generally believed to be able to take
the crown from Welsh.
