Two Champions Ready for
Ring Battle in Newark
Arena Tonight

Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion, meets TedI@"Kid" Lewis, the
greatest of welterweights, at Wieden-
mayors Park, in Newark, tonight.
Everything points to a most sensa-
tional ring battle. The principals
represent the highest standard of the
glove game. They stand out as the un-
disputed champions in their respective
divisions. Seldom before have men
entered contest who were SO evenly
punching prowcss. There is nothing
vicious in the makeup of these boys.
They have won their titles by out
thinking and outboxing hundreds Of op-
poncnts.
These athletes are trained to the
minute and are as fit AS nature could
have them. Lewis is risking his cham
pIonship tonight against a wonderful
boxer. IF he fails to 20 the limit Of
eight rounds Leonard will be real
champion of chanpions.' He will
have attained his ambition of being the
first lightweight champion to hold an
uuuISputtO Clalli 10 tnc WeIlcTWe1RnC
title.
AS betting proposition this battle
has the experts and those inclined to
wager "winging" The men are SO
evenly matched and the outcome is so
uncertain that it is hard to name the
favorte. When the match was first
made Leonard was favored by his par
tisan followers at odds of to /. To
day Lewis is almost an equal choice.
although what betting is being done
favors the lightweight champion at
& to 5.
The weight question is still an alb
sorbng topic Despite Leonard's dec
laration that he will weigh in at the
legitimate lightweight limit. Lewis still
persists that he will weigh no more
than Leonard when they enter the
ring.
Hundreds of out of-town boxing fans
are here. en- route for the bout to-
night The advance sale of seats in
dcates record attendance.
The boxers must appear in Newark
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The Box
Leonard and Lewis step on the scales
and make the weight called for in the
articles The men have agreed sto
weigh 141 pounds at o'clock. Of
course, Leonard will be far under this
weight Lewis also expects to weigh
less than 14l pounds. Lewis set this
weight and will lose all claim to the
title if he is stopped by the lightwe ight
champion. Patsy Kline, the referee
also will be on hand this afternoon to
give the men instructions.

promptly at 10 o'clock this evening.
