Chancellor's Speech

New York, Jan. 25.-Trading in the

tracts from the German chancellor's
speech which Wall street regarded as

Extreme gains of l to 3 points in
equipments, shippings. rails n fer

by French munition bonds. Liberty

81 to $3.50 and second as at 1926 to
96.16.
Active buying during the mid-ses-
sion of the railway group, at gains of
1 to 3 points. was ascribed to the pub
LEGATION of additional details connect
ed with the railway bill now before
congress. Shippings and steels also
rallied briskly.
Shippings furnished the basis of
early dealings on the stock exchange
today with oils and related special
ties. Atlantic Gulf shares were in
demand at an advance of almost three
points in the first half hour and
Mexican petroleum gained 2 points.
Industrials were but slightly changed

Greater Than Joe Cans?
Not Yet, Leonard Must
Wait To Equal MASTER

Enthusiastic followers Of Benny
Leonard's career as "a boxer are in
clined to be a trifle too optim' site

He is being hailed as the greatest
lightweight since Cans and ranked
with the great negro, with Lavigne
and with other greats of the past gen
Grafton.
Any comparison of the boxers Of
today and those of yesterday must OF
course be somewhat out of focus. In
less two men are in the ring together
1t is pretty hard to tell a whole lot
about their respective abilities, pro-
viding they are of anyways near the
same caliber.
But even at hat it is going a trifle
too far to compare Leonard today
with Levigne, Cans or Frank Erne at
their best.
in fighting. They could hit. box or
stall. They knew every trick of the
game. They We're game. They were
as good over the 40-round route as
in a short bout. They gave away
weight and fought out of their class.
Leonard has shown only q few
Of these ring accomplishments. He
can hit. There is no question about
that. There has perhaps been no
iltIueT llllLeT since AurelllO herrera.
He is a good boxer, as shown by the
ease with which he defeated those
master boxers, Johnny Kilbane and
Freddie Welsh.
Leonard is still very young. Per-
haps when he has the experience of
Cans he will prove the greatest light
weight of all time.
But it is Il question whether he will
ever show the gameness shown by
Cans when the latter took a terrific
battering from the rushing Nelson
in AZ rounds; or the ganleness
and endurance which caused Levigne
to give way weight and go out of
his class to meet and defeat the
greatest w~elterweisht of all times,
Joe Wolcott, or the cleverness of Kid
Critic, whose all-round work aston
ished all of the boxers of his day.
But so far as late champions are
concerned. Leonard is undoubtedly
supreme. 1t would be unfair to him
to place him in the same class with a
Ritchie or a Welsh.
