Lee Will Ask
That A. A. i.
Suspend Dues
Hollywood Inn Man Says
War Necessitates Such
a Course
BY A. c. Cavagnaro

Among the many changes to be urged
politan Association at the Glencoe
Athletic Club on September 16 is one
by Jimmy Lee, of the Hollywood Inn,
Yonkers. Lee realizes more than many
other local officials that. a war is on
and that the youth Of the country is
being utilized for national service.
Therefore Lee comes forward with the
suggestion that the local amateur as
ISOLATION suspend dues for the coming
year to those clubs in good standing
at the 1917 meeting.
Lee hopes that the delegates who
attend will seriously consider his
recommendation, as the life of many
clubs Of the association depends upon
the vote In speaking unofficially upon
the subject with many officials of the
local district Lee has gained many ad-
herents to his idea. Lee maintains
that the loss in revenue will be trivial
to the association, as the deficit caused
can be realized through other sources.
In speaking Of his recommendation
Lee says:
Cat the present time athletics and
the organizations which foster them
are in pretty bad shape. owing to the
enlistment and the drafting of mem
bers. In some cases the small clubs
have been hard hit, SO hard, in fact,
that their continuance in this recre-
ative pastime is very doubtful.
"Of the 1866 clubs holding member
ship in the Metropolitan Association
of the A. A. u I doubt if more than
80 yer cent will be able to renew their
dues, and it is with a view of keeping
these clubs on the books Of the local
association until the war is ended that
the dues should be waived for the du-
ration Of the war.
Others Set Example
"This small sacrifice on the part of
the Metropolitan Association would
only be in keeping with the policy Of
the day, as all the organizations, ex-
cepting where insurance benefits are
derived, are carrying the members in
service free from assessments and
dues while the war is on.
an our club, the Hollywood Inn, Of
Yonkers. N. Y. we have at this date
$50 members in service, and each is
carried on the membership roll, ex-
cmpted from dues, until the war ends,
We placed our building at the disposal
of the War Department as early as
April 9. 1917. All men in service who
visit Yonkers are granted the priv
lego of members. and on last Me-
mortal Day and Fourth Of July we en-
tertained and fed more than 500 en-
listed men, We also have the honor
of having as a member Charles Du
Bots, the first wounded local athlete,
who received his injuries at Toul last
March 49,"
If the plans of Lee go astray it is
intended to offer an amendment to the
motion which would call for reduc

THE hammer brigade has started after the Lewis
and Leonard fight. We have letter before us
alleging why that fight should not be held
II halt OF them true, the bout will bear nvestiga-
ton by the New Jersey boxing commissioners Nor are
these the first aspersons that have been cast against
this bout.
The mote is most critics eyes seems to be that
George Engle who long has been associated with the
Leonard retnue is handling Ted "Kid" Lewis and that
everything is fixed for nice take-in without either
party running any chance.
The trouble with the information supplied US is that

tcuar that have heard several of the regulars

Well, If it is, it will be Gust another one Of those
things. 1t is reasonable to believe that Lewis and

For Big Bout

Ted "Kid" Lewis, the worlds weIter-

quarters to finish UP his training work
for his titular bout with Benny Leon

mayors Park, in Newark September 10.

year-old son and several friends Mrs.
Lewis Will supervise the culinary end
OF the champions training.
The boss of welte rweights will lose
no time in getting down to serious
work, as he plans to do a little road
work and boxing before the sun sets to-
day Lewis appreciates the task he has
undertaken in signing up with Leonard,
for Benny is one of the hardest hitting
lightweghts the game has ever pro-
duced. Lewis has more at stake than
Leonard, for his welterweight cham
pionship will be in the balance A
Knockout victory for Benny will make
HIM the holder of two crowns. The
late Bob Fitzsimmons was the only
fighter to hold more than one title at q
time
Lewis, however, has no fear of the
outcome, Judging by his statement that
he intends to carry Leonard along at a
dizzy pace from the first gong While
respecting Benny's vaunted wallop,
Lewis says he will cast caution to the
winds and fight Leonard toe to toe if
the latter elects to battle in that man
ner.
This is my chance to show the box
ing fans of the metropolitan district
that I am real CHAMPION" said Lewis
last night. cpl show them a fight such
as they never saw before, if only Leon
ard will stand up and mix matters with
me. I know my championship is in
volved in this bout, but What good is a
champion if he will not defend his title
against all corners? ''

BY J. S. Mitchell

The tenth matinee of the Nassau
Driving Club on the Parkway track,
Brooklyn, provided an afternoon of
first rate sport for the harness racing
folk, the card being made up of eight
spiritedly contested numbers.
AS far as quality went the palm fell
to Marion Kirke, bay daughter Of
San Francisco, which accounted for the
free-for-all trotting class in straight
heats and incidentally disposed of Di-
rect AQuilan, horse that had hereto
fore scored four straight victories. and
was rated as the king of the matinee
division.
Not alone did Marion Kirke give the
dust to Direct, but she stepped the
fastest mile made in trot on the
Parkway circuit this season. Her time
was 2:l4 1-5 in the second heat, and as
an extra proof of her superiority
Davis, the owner and driver, allowed
her to flash past the post with his
hands down on the rein.
There was a bit of squabblc over
the 2:18 trot, which was the opening
event of the meet. Ethel B. and Kin

Ethel B. had scored in the first heat.
