to break into the winning class be

who esteem his chances this year with

There's the question and the answer
and it all hinges around the champion
ship of Benny Leonard. champion light
weight of the world ssY.E&.
: The time will soon come when Ben
ny will have to. renounce the claims
to the lightweight title, not because he
isn't a great fighter, not because he
isn't popular, but because few month

East-sider until now, instead Of being
a lightweight, he is heavy welter-
weight, a,.,, at,,..., ...- t$s.t,'<.
ii BENNY hasn't boxed much lately.
Recently in q .six-round bout at Phila-
'delphia he went into the ring at
catch weights. Experts at ringside
estimated all the way from 145 to l52
pounds. !. -
One thing was certain. Penny show
ed the minute he dropped his bathrobe
that he is no longer lightweight and
that he can no longer make l25 pounds
ringside. 3yo'clock or any other time.
Benny isn't fat he's just big.
Sooner or later re will be fore
ed to repource his title in favor OF
some other good boy who can
make weight. III. ......, r.. "a.
Al this sounds strange when it
is considered that Benny won his
title at 1875 pounds and even made
1873 pounds for Johnny Kilbane.
But Benny, is young and is of the
type that take on height and weight
