leonard is speedier than Cans. is a better
defensive boxer (Gans seldom entered q

ple) and hits quite as effectively.
Nelson and Wolgast cannot be men

Neither hac anything except strength and
ABILITY to take punishment to commend
them, and their wild swings never would
have found lodgment on Leonard. Nelson's
defeat of Cans was due entirely TO the fact
that the champion was forced to make a
weight at which It was impossible for him
to fight with vigor.
Cans was compelled to weigh with
trunks and shoes. and he entered the ring
for his battles with Nelson at 1917 mounds.

Ritchie Would Be Easy
Willie Richie, in the form he showed

Leonard Is supreme because he COM
bines in himself nearly all the good quail
tiles of his predecessors and has none of
their faults.
His defense is virtually impregnable, his
offensive swift and destructive. his general
ship of the first rank, his coolness Icy and
his confidence superb.
eft will be a long time before Leonard's s

from his marked superiority over the cham

one or the other happens to stand still just
long enough for a punch to reach his chin.
then there Is no doubt that the bout will
terminate decisively. If Kilbane Is to be
the one to do the knocking ou:. he will
come into the joint possession Of the
atherweight-lghtweigh championship.
Pugilistic history shows few instances
when one boxer held more than one title
Bob Fitzsinmons held three crowns during
his career in the ring-middle. light heavy
and heavy.
Among others who have held more than
one title was Terry McGovern, who was
bantam and featherweight titleholder at
different times Terry also Knocked out
Erne, the lightweight champion OF the
world but in a handicap match at 128
mounds rlngside, and therefore did not be-
come the champion of that division.
Tommy Ryan was the holder of the
welter and middle titles and George Dixon
was the titlehoder in the bantam and
feather classes.

fully report that we have been in
session FIVE days and have dikgent-
ly inquired into all violations of the
law within our knowledge, or which
have been brought to our attention.
As result, we have been able to
return into court 81 indictments for
various crimes and offenses.
1t is our pleasure, however, to re-
port very little lawlessness in our
county, due, as we believe, to the
adoption of the County Unit and
the prompt and vigorous enforce
ment of it. We further believe that
if the next Legislature, Ihcihi con-
venes in January, viii enact law
making it unlawful to ship whisky
from wet to dry territory, that law

pear from our county.
