Massey's hit, which resulted in
Clemens throwing the ball to the

runner on third in the eighth frame.
He promptly stole home while Young
was dreaming.

Hanford's circuit swat over the fence

Richmond. Two bingles were secured
in the third but there was no scor-

that round by hitting TO right and

LEONARD ENTHRALLS FANS
Most Consistent Ring Performer In Re-
cent Years Has Not Yet Reached
Zenith of Cnrccr.

The popularity of Benny Leonard, the
new lightweight champion. is explained
in part by the fact that he is one OF
the best and most consistent ring per-
formers in his class in some years.
Not since the days of Terry McGovern
has there been a lightweight who held
ringside fans so enthralled as Leonard.
Those who pay to see a bout in which
he is one Of the principals are always
assured of witnessing a real boxing
match in the fullest sense of the
phrase.
both in boxing science and hitting
power, within the last year or SO. yet
the general opinion among those best
qualified to judge is that he has not
reached the zenith OF his ring career.
II this is the correct estimate of
LeoLard's ability. there appears to
stretch before the new champion a long
period Of titular tenure with unusual
financial reward, for Leonard lights as
well as no boxes. and this Is the
strongest appeal that can be made to
the follower of puglism.
