smarter boxer in the world in or

fooled by Leonard as anybody posi-
bly, could be-

time 10 gather in that nice bunch OF
kale for Leonard bout. Johnny and

stock Of all that they knew, past and
present. about Leonard, that the
klbaue- You see. Johnny had boxed

back, on April %, 1915. TO be exact.
Leonard was a long way from being
a champion then He merely gave
the symptoms OF coming greatness
They went the full 10 rounds and
Johnny had a considerable shade
Since that time Leonard went fast,
and time and again when DE has
