LEONARD OVERCAME
HANDICAP in Weight
Lightweight Fought Skilful
and Courageous Battle
Against Lewis
ONE PRESS AGENT
GETS INTO ERROR

One angle OF the Leonard-Lewis con-
lest that appears TO have been over
ooked IS the weight handicap that the
lightweight champion overcame. A
,ew pounds OF Gesh in a bout between
boxers Of the lighter class Is a decided
advantage TO the possessOr, especially
4 the men IN other respects are well
matched Shrewd managers Of boxers
Ire keenly alive to that fact, and there
aas been more haggllng over questions
pf weight than over even the Import
ant matter OF compensation. Many In
ltances are on record Of forfeits claim
ID for a few ounces overweight.
Therefore when It Is considered that
Leonard conceded at least six pounds
10 the craftlest boxer and hardest hit
.er in the welter division, the perform
snce Of the lightweight champion In
making so remarkable a fight against
odds looms up as one Of his greatest
battles.
II was evident when Lewis began
.he battle that he had mapped out
campaign based on the Peter Jackson
plan Of Inducing his opponent 10 lead
with the left and then crossing him
with the right. Il looked in the OPEN
Ing round as though the Briton would
succeed, for he landed two right hand
thumps on the side OF Leonard's face
that were uncomfortable to say the
least. Had either hit the chin Il might
have been curtains for Benny.
II took Leonard three rounds 70
gauge Lewis's tactics. sHd after that
the welter champion found his attack
Ineffective. His right and left swings
for the law went wild or were easily
ducked by Leonard, while the light
weight seldom missed the face with
bis lightning left.
From our point OF view Lewis was a
bewildered and badly mussed up youth
when the final bell sounded. In a bout
OF twelve or fifteen rounds there IS
reason for the belief that Leonard
would score a knockout.
In an effort to enhance in the eyes
OF the public the value OF the Leonard
and Lewis bout an industrious press
agent put these statements on record:
when Benny Leonard. worlds light
weight champion, and Kid Lewis,
worlds welter champion, get into ac-
ton az Newark, II viii be the flrt time
IN fourteen years. almost 10 the day.
that the undisputed worlds champion
OF the lightweight division has tried
10 win the welterweight title. Only
twice in the history Of pugilism has a
lightweight sougt both titles. In 1895
George (Kld) Lavigne took on Joe Wal
colt in a battle Of champions WalcOtt
undertook to stop the lightweight title
holder In fifteen rounds, but when the
bell rang at the close Of the fifteenth
round Walcott was so badly beaten he
refused 10 continue. Those men entered
the ring al the prescribed champion
ship weights-Layigne scaling i33
pounds and walcott il2 pounds ring
side.
"In September, 1905, Joe Cans and
Walcott met under the same weight
conditions. This bout went the full
route Of twenty rounds. The referee
called II a draw, but Cans easily had
the better OF this fight"

NOT THEN CHAMPION.

The enthusiastic historian who pen
ned the above information will, we
hone. pardon us for pointing out few
errors IN HIS statistics.
The bout between Waicott and La
vigne took place at the Empire A. c.,
Maspeth. December 2, 1895 and at this
time Lavigne was not even the recog-
nized champion lightweight Of Amer
lea. McAullffe, who still held the
title. did not formally retire till March
81 1896. which was the date on which
ne and Lavigne boxer a six-round bout
In this city. McAuliffe learned enough
about Lavingne's ability IN this bout
IN induce him 70 retire, thus resigning
all claim TO the lightweight tile OF
America. which Is the only one that
McAullffe ever held.
Lavigne at once claimed title and
defended II successfully for three
years.
Lavigne did not become the worlds
lightweight champion TIL June 1, 1896,
when he knocked out Dick Bqrge in the
National Sporting Club Of London.
therefore when Lavigne got into the
ing with Walcott. December .. 1895,
he Saginaw Kid did not hold any title
{ all.
Joe Walcott won the welter title from
linn Ferns in 1901, six years after the
meeting with Lavigne so that the
Negro held no title whatever when he
rot into the ring with Lavigne. The
1Out therefore between Lavigne and
Walcott was not a championship con-
est, as neither man was a champion.
The contest between Lavigne and
Nalcott was a handicap affair. The
Negro undertook to stop Lavigne inside
Of fifteen rounds for side bet Of $500,
and he failed. Walcott under the agree
ment was compelled 20 make 1873 ring
side, and this weakened the Negro to
a degree that prevented him fighting
I'm his usual form. Lavigne had the
better OF the fight on points and also
won the side bet.
Walcott and Cans met In San Fran
cisco, September 30, 1901. and battled
10 a draw In twenty rounds. As Cans |
had won the lightweight championship |
Of the world from Erne, May i2. 1902, |
the Negro was champion Of his class at |
the time he entered the ring with Wal |
colt. Unfortunately for the titular |
aspect OF the battle Walcott had been /
dlvested Of his welter title on April 30, /
1904 by Dixie Kid, who received a /
referees decision over the Black Demon |
IN the twentieth round Of their battle |
because Of a foul blow by Walcott.
Dixie Kid had the better of the con-
test on points up TO the time the foul
blow was struck
Taking into consideration those indis-
putable facts, the bout between Leon
ard and Lewis was the first in America
m which the worlds champion Of the
light and welter divisions were pitted
lesinst each other.
