LEONARD SEEKING
TWO MORE RING
TITLES TO RETAIN

Benny Leonard, the worlds light
weight champion, is looking around to
grab off an extra title or two. Benneh
is casting longing glances at the welter
and middleweight crowns and believes
he has chance Of grabbing both.
There is persistent talk of Leonard
meeting Jack Britton in a ten-round
bout, providing Jack only weighs 13S
pounds at 9 p. m. the night of the
scrap. Danny Morgan, who manages
Britton is loud in his declarations that
making 139 at 9 o'clock is ust Brit
toms dish.
To force Britton to get to the weight
a 81 900 forfeit will have to be posted,
otherwise no fireworks. If the match
comes to a head then Leonard will dis
cover how he stands with the welter.
That decision is firmly entrenched in
the stockade belonging to Britton and
Ted Lewis, who now holds the title.
If Leonard can conquer Britton de-
cisively he will tax business with Lew
is for a battle for the crown. AS far
as the middleweight crown is concern
ed, Billy Gibson, manager of Leonard,
is after match with Mike Gibbons.
All Gibbons has to do is to weigh LOU
pounds Then along the line of pos
sibilities, if Leanord were fortunate or
| clever enough to defeat Gibbons, he
would go after AL MCoy, the holder OF
| the septre Knowing the limit of Nc

YOUNG RECTOR WILLING
TO BOX DEFOE HERE

Fred De Lorme, who manages Young
Rector of New York, sends the fol-
lowing:
From all accounts, received in New
York, Billy De Foe made a big hit in
Bridgeport by decisively beating Har-
ry Nelson in their 2 round fight. Now
to get down to facts it looks like De
Foe would be the one to he matched
with Young Rector, the New Jersey
champion, who as everyone knows,
has been banging on MaAuliffe's door
for return match, and whom the
Barnum avenue champ has dUcked
time and again, to avoid the licking
he knows would be his.
Rector has met De Foe on three oc-
cssions in New York and Brooklyn,
and things were pretty even every
time. Notwithstanding the fact that
De Foe claims wins over the Jerseyite,
due to the fact that the man who han
died De Foe managed the Clernont
Rink in Brooklyn, and had the advan-
tage Of sending out the press wires.
My proposition is that Rector will
meet De Foe over the IL or 10 round
route, the longer the better, and guar
antee to defeat him before an I'M
biased set of press representatives,
such as Bridgeport boasts of, and not
like the methods employed here in
New York such as telephoning, etc.
Now let Sammy Hollis step forward
and accept this def, and let Bridge
porters judge for themselves

a member of the local lodge who has
just finished good season with To-
ledo Of the American association, pitch
ed and Jack Egan, an Eastern league
backstop, was behind the bat. ttEm''
Donnelly made several good catches
for Bridgeport.
Paul Kriche1I, manager of the
Bridgeport Eastern league club, was
backstop for the Bronx boys and Gin
gras, another Bridgeport player, did
the twirting. Both twirlers did well.
The locals made a run in the fourth
when Heating singled and Egan trip
led. Donnelly got around to third in
the fifth after he singled, stole second
and took third on an error. Then
delayed steal was worked and DON
nelly scored while Butler was being
retired between first and second.
There was about 1000 present and
