WORTHY SUCCESSOR TO
 CHAMPION
(By United Pressl

NEW YORK, June 12. - Heavy
 listed. fast thinking, clean living Ben ny Leonard is a worthy successor to
 the marvellous boxers who have worn the crown of the lightweight division. Leonard is not Joe Cans in every thing, but Cans never was more fin ished puncher, there never was more power in his black fists than in the flashing fails that hang from Leon ards shoulders. He Is not an Ad Wolgast nor Terry McGovern in fe- rocity of attack. He is not Nelson in savage ability to keep on talk ing punishment But Leonard com pines the best virtues of all of these. His head bears no marks of vicious blows. He is young and clean. He should be able to last long time as leader
 Leonard gives every credit to his mother for his victory over Freddie Welsh
 She has made me live right. It is my mother who keeps me in condi- tion," he declared after the bout with Welsh.
 Leonard is idolized among New York Hebrew residents. Himself a Hebrew. he has gathered following wonder full in it's proportions, and his person. ality carries him into the hearts of the thousands of other fight lovers in New York.

IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS I
LOCAL CLUB NOW SETTLES DOWN
 ID PRACTICE

The first real practice of the Cor
 dova ball team took place last evening
 and most of the members were on deck and benefited greatly. It is port at the park every evening at 7:3O o'clock sharp, whenever the weather permits In this way the best results can be obtained and the local club put into shape so that it will make a creditable showing against all com CTS. That we have the material here for one of the best ball aggregations in Alaska there is no doubt, but team work is necessary to win games. There were a number of new men out to practice last evening, and as the man. agement is desirous of having the best team available represent Cordova on the diamond, all ball tossers are in vited to report at the park every even ing so that the final selection of the regular club can be made from those who show class and take sufficient interest in the game to turn out for practice.
 Dr. Council was on deck last night and again demonstrated that he is "still in the game" and knows how to drive the leather all over the lot
 Hendrickson who played third base for the Blum, O'Neill team last Sun day, has already become a favorite with the fans, and can cover any in field position.
 Conway is fast player and with his long reach covers lots of ground at first
 Nourse is in the game all the time, and there is no better third baseman in the territory.
 Rogers, Beebe and Taylor showed up we'll in practice, and will prove valuable acquisitions to the team.
 Several of the players were unable to show up last night but all of them expect to report at the park tonight
 mio-Week Ball Games.
 The uncertainty of the weather on Sunday frequently resulting in post ponement of the game scheduled has resulted in a demand on the part of the fans for mid-week baseball. and the probabilities are that some games will be arranged for the evening. They can be called about or 7:3O o'clock |. whenever the days are clear and bright.
 Valdez Claims to Have Grievance.
 Manager Conley, of the Valdez team, has the following to say regarding the visit of the Seward team to Cordova on Independence Day:
 "In answer to the Seward baseball teams proposition of stopping at Val [ dez after playing at Cordova on the Fourth of July, the management of the Valdez baseball club wishes to say, that both Cordova and Seward owe us a return game, we having gone to their towns for the last three years, and If neither of them can come to Valdez for the Fourth of July celebration, we do not wish to be second fiddle in their orchestra. We will go to no ex- pense to hold the Seward team here for game on their return trip, lut if their boat stops long enough 10 en- able them to play we will gladly give them a game"
