Much local preparations are being made

annual session in Seattle June 9th and 28th
"A large delegation is expected from the out

suggest to the ladies of the city that they
be liberal in their preparations to receive
the VISITORS While the members of the
organization are colored, yet they should
be received by the mayor of the city and
welcome address be also made by one or
more OF the leading cOlOred men of the

by the committee of arrangement, but if
not, it's not too late to change the program.

well, on this occasion, Benny was
the first to enter the ring. He was
given LIBERAL hand. A few minutes
later a trim, athletic, INTELLIG BNT

in his corner. He was a decided

little blonde mustache. He looked to

care to see, but appeared too retiring.
Decidedly Cool
When the boys were given final in
structions the aviator was the least dis
turbed person in the spacious arena. He
stepped rapidly, feinted boxed and
swung, but never for an instant did he
take his eyes off Benny. He permit u
Benny to jab. but was undisturbed when
ever Leonard landed. For two rounds
this continued, with honors about even.
Then came the third session.
Benny was determined to end the
battle quickly. Ho opened up and das-
zled with his brilliant display of foot
work. He fented his opponent into an

to the point of the jaw The aviator,
stunned for the moment, stepped back,

counting disaster. Finally the gong
sounded and the round was over.

Let me tell YOU right here I'm not
going to use that punch any more against

fight replied Benny.
Fight to Finish
And this is typical of most of the
boys Benny faced in the camps. They
are in there to fight to the last. They
care nothing for champions and fear no
one. They are taught this and it is
this spirit which is going to bring forth
such wonderful collection of fighters in
the near future"
Gibson said he was not surprised to
learn that Eddie McGoorty and other
veteran professionals had been defeated

crop is a wonder, he insists, and pre-
diets that every title, barring that of the

instruction in Army Camps
Has Developed intelli-
gent, Fearless Crop Of
Ring Artists
BENNY LEONARD AGREES
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

HNHE ring performers of the past and
i the majority of the present day
artists gained their knowledge Of boxing
in most instances in the street. They
were fighters by instinct--at least those
that gained anything like prominence in
the game. Those that reached the top
easily could be recognized They were
the ones that used their brains as we'll
as hands and feet to combat the blind,
rushing drives Of their opponents.
But the boxers of the future will be
an entirely different set. The lads who
will entertain after the present crop has
outlived its usefulness will be the brainy
boys those who never take their eyes
off the other fellow and who at all times
are trying to outguass their adver-
saries. $685..
Taught by Experts
The reason for this decided change in
the class of boxers Is the training re-
ceived in army camps. There thou
sands of boys acquired their first knowl-
edge Of boxing from experts. veteran
ring artists skilled in the art of boxing.
First-hard knowledge from experts
never is forgotten and once the pupil
masters the fundamentals It is only a
matter Of time. providing his physical
condition Is perfect, until he is a leader.
A few nights ago Billy Gibson.
veteran Judge of fighting talent and the
man who piloted Benny Leonard to a
championship, was viewing one of the
preliminaries at the Olympia. Two un-
skilled but willing boys were fighting.
They gave their best. but crashed into
each other without any sense OF direc.
ton. They fought instinctively and
without thought This didn't appeal to
the observing Gibson.
Message From Gibson
"You can say what YOU want about

Government has approved of It and now
