Jess steps off the heavyweight throne of his own free will

Billy Gibson announced yesterday that the bout in which Leonard will meet Gene Belmont in St. Paul Dec will probably be the champion last public fight for some time tc come. It is the purpose of the cham pion to start on tour of the United States soon after the holidays. box ing exhibition bouts for the benefi of war relief and equipment funds.
 The program, however, is depnd ent on arrangements being made wit the Camp Upton authorities for the change.
 Owing to the fact that Marty Far rell, a Harlem mfdd1eweight, an. Mick King, former niddleweigh champion of Australia, were throw out of the ring by Referee Toby IF win during a bout in San F'rancisc on the ground that they were sham ming, and their money handed i charity, the boxing game on the coas is in a precarious position. The COT testants were supposedly amateur and the only reward they were to get on the surface was a nicely en- graved medal
 Now comes the manager of Farre1 and declares that unless he gets sev- eral hundred dollars promised to the boxer by the promoter there will be a contest in court.
 If the matter gets into court, the four amateur game on the coast vii go up in smoke.
