ASKED BY CONNIE

CLEVELAND. June Is. - Pitcher
Scott Perry will remain with the Ath-

Of the case, according to an order
handed down yesterday by Common
Pleas Judge Martin The Athletics
sought a restraining order from the
court to prevent the National Com
missions ruling becoming operative
which would give the pitcher to the
Boston Braves.
The granting OF the order allows
Perry to remain with Connie Mack
until q final decision has been made
after q hearing Of the case.
CHICAGO, June 1s-President Ban
johnson of the American League to-
night declared that Manager Connie
Mack was entirely within his rights
in going to court to attempt to nulltfy
the award by the National Commits
sion Of Player Perry to the Boston
Nationals. johnson added that the
American League will claim Perry

"The decision OF the National Com

LOOKING
EN-
OVER
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

~ AOC4o OOO1ELGNa
Much color is given the rumol
that Benny Leonard will never
again defend his lightweight cham.
piOnship by the articles of agree
ment he has signed for his coming
bout at Philadelphia with Jack Brit
ton He has agreed to make 141
pounds ringside. Britton's best
work is done at 145, so he will have
to hustle to make the required 141
pounds. 1t is probable that Leonard
will scale around 1873 or 139 when he
enters the ring, but that is way
above the lightweight limit Of 1873
pounds.
For many months we have heard
that Leonard's consistent work with
the Camp Upton soldiers had ruined
him as a lightweight boxer, that the
sane living and daily exercise had
put him forever out of the class in
which he is the worlds acknowledged
leader. He cannot get down to the
limit OF his class, 1913 pounds, and do
himself Justice He loses his
strength
Leonard is growing, that's an. And
this is the message his case sends to
thousands OF homes. The army life
builds up the weakling. 1t gives him
health far greater than he ever had
before. It makes OF him man,
physically, mentally. and morally.
