BENNY LEONARD TO
STICK TO GIBSON

New York, June 17.-BnIy Gibson has
spiked rumor that Benny Leonard,
| worlds lightweight champion, was
about to split with him and allow his
holders affairs in the future. There
is nothing to the report that started
in New York yesterday and was
| around Philadelphia today. Gibson
emphatically denied II over the long
distance phone this morning. II such
was thinking Of parting with Gibson, II
would be the worst case of ingrattude
in the annals of boxing.
Where would Leonard be today, II
II wasn't for Gibson? The New York
promoter was a long time grooming
Leonard so that he could get into q
position to retrieve the lightweight
title to the brow of an American.
Leonard, when first he started in the
boxing game, wasn't the most likely
looking product around and il took
careful matching and diligent boost
ing before Benny could push himself
sufficiently into the lime-light to war
rant him to challenge for the cham
pionship.
Gibson says Leonard is the cIeanest
and squarest little fellow that he
ever has met; that they really are
chums, instead of partners in busi-
ness. Furthermore, Gibson says he
has never had an argument with Leon
ard. and whatever Billy said always
was needed. There isn't an migrate
full bone in Benny's body, Gibson de-
clares. Benny at the present time is
training for a match in New York
Monday night with Johnny Nelson, of
this city.
To prove how friendly and close Glib
son and Leonard are was recently
shown here when Leonard boxed Char
ley Thomas. Gibson figured that
Thomas was so tough Benny would
not be able to stop the local Iron
Man. To make things Interesting,
Benny wagered a new straw hat that
he would stop Thomas. And Benny
was the one to wear a new Katie, I"
with Gibson doing the buying.

WHITE SOX EXPECT

Chicago Americans Pick McGraw's
Team as World Series Rivals.

New York, June l7.-Newspaper cor
respondents with the Chicago White
Sox say that the pallid Sox confident

blers in the home town are feeding
their readers on the same dope. lin
New York the fans still hope that
their dreams Of a Giant-Yankee

Many stranger things may happen be-
fore next fall than q worlds series
between the Giants and White Sox.
Both clubs have many similarities.
Their main strength Is IN stars pur-
chased for big sums from other clubs.
The Giants are being criticised all
over their circuit as a team repre-

grade of trading msterial Still It is
supposed to be good form In other
cities to pan the Giants and their
methods. Such publicity, however,
has helped to make the Giants the
best drawing card in baseball
Comisl1ey paid close to 10000 for
his two stars, Eddie Collins and Joe
Jackson. Collins cost him s5O.0oo( and
he had to give Eddie q b-year con-
tract at $4,000 a year: The Old Ro-
man also bought outnelders Eddie
Murphy and Memo Liebold from the
Athletics and Indians respectively for
neat little sums, and would have out
bid the Yankees for Frank Baker had
not Ban johnson exerted enough in
fiuence to swing the player to New
York.
Both Giants and White Sox are the
nearest to all-star teams in their re-
spective leagues In fact both clubs
are supposed to have too much steller
material. 1t is supposed to make them
unwieldy and poorly balanced. But
we may know more about that a Few
months from now.
