MADISON SQUARE
TO new PROMOTER
Grant Hugh Brown Will Now
Stage New York's Big
Boxing Shows.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Grant' Hugh
Brown. recently impresario of a race
track at Havana, Cuba, will, by his
own admission. begin today to uphft
boxing In New York city. He claimed
he had closed negotiations for a years
lease on Madison Square Garden and
that he would begin at once to re-
cruit members for his national sports
club OF America.
Brown says he intends to organize
q club like the famous sporting organ
1zation In London. Madison Square
Garden, he declared, will be made
over SO that a flfteen-story set of
furnished rooms with bath will be
projected into the Madison avenue
side Of the huge building. Inside
there will be stationed permanently
an area capable OF seating 5000 spec-
tators, several hundred seconds, and
new boxers.
Brown declares he will stage
twenty-five or thirty high-class' box
ing contests every year. An effort
will be made, he declares. to have
the highest class of attendance pos
sible, members of his national club
to be favored in application for
tickets.
Brown expects to meet Tim O'Sul-
livan, manager of Les Darcy, today,
and will make him a good offer for
a bout with Jack Dillon or Billy
Miske, the former being favored.
Now that Brown has gathered in
the Garden-apparently Rick
ard fs expected to- step entirely out of
the way in regard to Darcy. He has
said ever since the Australian left his
native land without becoming a SOL
der that whenever the time came for
Darcy to make a good match he
would not stand in the way.
Darcy, however, has refrained from
signing for any of the huge fortunes
named by promoters. It may be that
even yet he will refuse to sign until
Rickard has exhausted every
resource. The Western promoter has
talked Of building his own arena. II
the Garden really has slipped out of
his grasp he may go ahead with these
plans.

LEONARD is WINNER
Pounds Eddie Wallace All Through
Six-Round Contest.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23-Benny
Leonard did almost everything but
knock out Eddie Wallace last night
at the Olympia Athletic Association.
After the second round 1t wasn't a
fight, ii was merely a question how
hard Leonard would try
In the fourth round the bell saved
Wellace, He was nearly goner
from lefts to the body and rights to
the face. In the NTH Eddie hung
close and kept guarded. He managed
to last the round.
To the surprise Of everyone, Wallace
fought back for a minute in the sixth
round and then caved In before Ben
ny's onslAughter.
Despite his covering up. Wallace
was pounded hard to the face, and
when the bell rang he was nearly
ready to drop to the mat on the ropes.

SCHOOL TEAMS NOW
AT HALFWAY MARK
League Battles to Be Resumed
Next Tuesday After Double
Bill Today.

The halfway mark will be reached
today in the High School Basketball
League when Western and Central
take the floor in the Y. NJ. c. A. gym
nasium for the FIRST game Of q double
Dill and Technical and Business finlsh
on the affair in the second contest.
Technical il out In front at present,
with three victories and no defeats.
Business, with two wins and ono
loss, is second, with Central and
Western tied for third, with one vic
tory and two defeats. Eastern Is last.
with one win apd three defeats.
Interest In Tech.
Tech Is attracting unusual interest
on account OF the fact that the team
has come through three games In de-
cisive manner Western, Central and
Eastern were beaten OF decisivelv.
and IL the Manual Trainers land the
battle today from Business the. re-
mainder OF the season should be
fairly easy sailing for Tech.
Business probably will be without
the services of Buck Wise, star left
forward, who has been out of the
game for q week with grip. Wise Is
due to graduate next week, and II
anxious to finish out his basketball
career.
Business lost to Central in two
overtime periods last Friday. Had
Buck Wise been in the game the re-
suit might have been different. BusI-
ness followers claim
Central II Stronger.
The return of Potter to the Central
lineup will make that team stronger
than in it's last battle. Potter will
add greater scoring strength to the
Blue and White lineup. With Solo
mon and Dale in forwards, White in
center and Potter and either Long or
Kaplan in guards, the team looks to
be better equipped than at any time
this year.
Western will send in w. Heron
and Wight in forwards, Chamber
laine in center and tombstone and, d.
in guards. Western is i'm
proving right along and can be ex-
pected to give the Central . good
argument
No Game Friday.
On account Of the fact that todsy's
games are being played In q double
bill there will be no game Friday.
Tech and Business were scheduled
to meet on Friday but Tech asked
for a postponement earlier in the sea
son, which was understood to be
granted.
In addition to the high school
game. today, the unbeaten Army and
Navy Props will entertain Gonzaga
In the A. N. p. gymnasium. Friday
the Props play Gallaudet Reserves at
Green. Tech visits the Mar
tinsburg, w. Va, team on Friday.

ond half OF the series will be played
Each team will have played four
