LEONARD PRAISES SOLDIERS
Lightweight Champion Says His Charges in Boxing Elo~ls Arc Going Wild Over Boxing.

Camp Upton, YaphanlI, L. I. Feb. 1S.-Every soldier at Camp Upton where the 77th Division is stationed, is now receiving instruction in the boxing course that the war department commission on training camp actlVl- ties has established in national army and guard cntOnments, and Benny Leonard, lightweight champion of the world and camp instructor. iS more proud of his success as a tutor than of his ring laurels.
 When Benny talks about his part in the work-which is not very often his eyes gleam and the words leap forth with a snap like his punch. He says:
 Its almost incredible the way box ing has taken hold of the men here. They're simply wild over it. In the classes, when I am explaining and illustrating the blows and positions they pay the closest attention.
 s"The results of the instruction arc plainly seen in the bouts the men hold in their ba tracks and in the camp rec reation buildings. Instead of lowering their heads and swinging wildly ID windmill fashion, which $ the stNlo of the novice, they square off and sail into each other with heads erect and their guards up, just like real pro fessionals.
 "In bayonet work, where the box inc, instruction is particularly Valu- able because the principles are so much alike, the results are even plainer. The men charge the dunn mics with more dash than before, and send their blades through the figures of boughs and burlap with a force that speaks volumes for the boxing train ing. When some of these men come back from France our champions will have had to improve nightly in the meantime if they expect to hold their titIeS.''

AFTER FIGHT FAKIRS
Wisconsin Boxing Commission Con- tinucS to Show That Game Must Be Conducted Squarcly.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1S.-The Wisconsin Boxing Commission con- tinues to give evidence that bouts must be fought on their merits and that officials must do their duty or take the consequences. After looking over the performances of a number of fighters the commission suspended five of the gentry and severely repri- manded two referees
 The boxers who were suspended are Charlie Scully, Chicago, who got thirty days for taking it easy in his fight with Matty McCue. McCue, who did not appear, was suspended in definitely Frank Grace was given a three months layoff because he did not appear before Steve Choinsky and Pinkey Mitchell was suspended for sixty days and Young Mendelsohn for thirty days for stealing.
 Joe Eagen and Bryan Downey were called to appear before the commis- sion for sta,lling and Referees Stout and Duffy were severely reprimanded for not getting more action out of the boxers and were told they would get a suspension next time.
 If the McCue bill is passed and the example of the Wisconsin com mission is followed in this state box ing will be a pronounced success.
