PLAYING THE FIELD
By GENE BYRNES
BY Jack veiock,

New York, Aug. Benny Leonard
bids fair to hold the lightweight
championship for a long time.
OF course, they all get beaten soon.
er or later, and many boxers get it
so suddenly that defeat comes like a
bolt from azure blue But in Leon.
ards case 1t appears that the lack
of class among the lightweight con-
tenders will permit him to cling to his
crown for some moons.
Leonard disposed of his foremost
rival in the days when he was light
weight contender, himself, by beating
Richie Mitchell decisively in seven
rounds. And having beaten Mitchell.
Leonard will not be expected to notice
he Milwaukee boy unless he sees fit.
On top Of this, the old knockout ink
that he holds over Mitchell is some.
thing to boast of.
/ Aside from Mitchell. there are five
boxers to be looked upon az con
\ tenders who may get Leonard ear
with fight talk They are Charley
White, Joe yelling. Johnny Dundee,
frankie Callahan and Willie Jack
son
Who is the best of this bunch? Its
a tough question.
frankie Callahan is the toughest
hoy of the five and Joe yelling is
probably the cleanest boxer and the
hardest hitter. yelling has defeated
Dundee, and Jackson has knockout
over the Scotch Wop to his credit.
White, who has been idle for. some
time is still rated as mighty good
lightweight and strong hitter and
Callahan gave Leonard a good fight
In ten rounds during the winter.
Those who can see no one but
Leonard are of the opinion that none
OF the boys mentioned here would
have a chance with him. They point
wv th't i+coildiu NI'loiS over
Johnny kilbane was so absolutely de.
cisive and so clean cut that it stamps
him as the greatest lightweight who
has ever worn the crown And to be
truthful too much praise can not be
given the little New Yorker, for he is
wizard.
Leonard's habits are perfect. He
does not dissipate In any way and he
covets his title more than the money
IL Is worth to him. He is perhaps the
most self'coniident boxer who has
ever drawn on pair OF gloves, and
in the ring he is merciless, coll.
headed, calculating fighting machine

Mamaux Dissatisfied Player
AL Mamaux, who was a sensation
with the Pittsburgh Pirates last sea.
son, has been suspended twice this
season for disobeying training rules.
His work on the diamond for the
Pittsburgh club has fallen off rs per
cent. and Barney Dreyfus is lust
about ready to do the very thing that
Mamaux wants him to do-trade or
sell him to some other club.
Mamaux troubles with the Pirate
management started last winter when
he refused to sign his contract. He
wanted more money than Dreyfus had
offered him and he made his demands
so high that he hoped the Pirate
president would put him on the
market. But Dreyfus refused to let
him get away and he finally came in
to the fold, only to pitch Indifferent
ball and break training rules.
That Mamaux will be traded or sold
Is probably despite Dreyfus deterlni-
nation to hold him. The Cardinals
were recently offered Mamaux for
Gonzales but Miller Higgins refused,
saying that he couldn't see where the
st. Louis club would profit by taking
on an unduy ball player.
