TURNED LEONARD DOWN.
Tom McCarey. of Los Angeles,
Took No Stock in BENNY

When Uncle" Tom McCarey was
introduced to Benny Leonard, re-
Gently. it brought back vivid mem
ories of the old days to the man who
was at the helm of boxing locally
during its heyday in the State, says
the Los Angeles Evening Express.
When Leach Cross came West to
fight Bud Anderson and Joe Rivers
he begged" McCarey to forward
transportation to a preliminary
boxer in New York City who was
anxious to come West. Cross in
formed McCarey that the youngster
had all the earmarks of a cham
pion and would develop into a good
drawing card here. McCarey
thought the matter over and said to
Cross: "Why should 1 spend so
much money to bring a 'pork-and-
beaner' West? He wouldn't draw.
When put on the local fellows and
give. them $40 or SIS why they draw
that many friends. But who would
come to see an Eastern preliminary
artist box?' That Eastern pork
and-beaner" was no other than
Benny Leonard. then one Of Goth
ans most promising youngsters.
Shortly after McCarey turned him
down. Leonard started to climb the
ladder of fame. And today he is in
a class by himself and regarded by
many boxing experts as the great
est lightweight who ever drew on q
glove. ...

WHO'S COLLEGE
ROWING Champ
Pennsylvania and Harvard
Both Claim Honors of
1918 Regatta Season.

New York, June 10. - There's q
merry little controversy over the
disposition of rowing honors among
Eastern crews this season.
At Pennsylvania the claim is made
that the Quakers have proven their
superiority and IL anybody 10 TO get
the Iaurels Penn should have them.
But at Cambridge, the Harvard
adherents. fresh from their victory
over Yale on the Housstonic, are
making strong claim in behalf OF
the Crimson varsity az the premier
crew of the season
Their is no doubt in the minds Of
more sober-minded critics Of rowing
that both Penn and Harvard hsve
topnotch crews this year. But Just
where TO place the crown for the
1913 season is q question. though
Penn's claims are somewhat strong
er. on paper. at least.
Penn rowed four races. beating
the Navy. Columbia, Princeton and
Yale. Harvard rowed only two
races. beating Princeton and Yale.
On the Severn. the Navy beat Penn
and Columbia in the American re-
gatta, and Navy supporters claim
thst victory wiped out PENIS for
HltE triumph 70 q CtTlaln extent
or at least evened matters UP.
Yale lost TO Penn and Harvard
and Cornell started but once, being
beaten by Princeton. Princeton lost
to Harvard. Penn and Columbia and
therefore is counted out OF the run
ming for honors altogether. as is
Syracuse, which entered only q
freshman crew in this years events.
So the controversy stands be-
tween Penn and Harvard with III.
Navy given q loophole TO make
claims az well. Regardless OF cham
pionship claims from any direction.
the rowing season OF 1918 proved
the justification OF the return OF
the sport, for it was withsl, one OF
the most successful held in a good
many years. and rowing has been
INDUCED in for over sixty-six years
by colleges in this country.

LOWDY'S HOOK
HIS BEST BALL
Brownies Hurler Is Get
ting Fourth Chance
in Big Show.

The Browns have q rather re-
markable pitcher in the person OF
Grover Lowdermilk. who is getting
his fourth fling at a major league
meal ticket this season.
Loudly is fairly well known TO
the fans of both major leagues. for
he has been trying to make good in
the big show since 1911. when Roger
Bresnahan gave him his first trial
with the Cardinals. This year he
appears to be in better form than
ever. and he may succeed in winning
a regular Job.
AS a rule the pitcher who fails to
make good after two trials under
the big tent is labelled as a fiivver
by the club owners and seldom gets
another chance. Not so with
'Lowdy."
He did so we'll for the Columbus
Senators OF the American Associa-
tion last season. where he won
25 games of ball and lost IA. among
which were many games he was en-
titled to win, that Fielder Jones
and Bobbie Quinn. the board ~of
strategy of the Brownies decided he
deserved at least one more fling at
stardom.
Lowdermilk's greatest asset els a
fast curve ball. 1t is his ability to
hook the ball with lightning speed
that has been responsible for the way
he has managed to hang on as a
major league prospect.
He hasn't the speed of Walter John
son or Joe Bush. but neither of these
pitchers can hook a ball over the
plate with the same speed "Lowdy''
uses. They have what is known as
a hop to their fast ones, while the
Brownie shows the batter a sharp
breaking curve that has driven many
an ambitious hitter back to the water
bucket.
Lack of control has always been
"Lowdy's" chief handicap, out he has
gained better control this year. winch
is responsible for the fact that he

JOHNSTON GIVES
LEONARD BOOST
Manager Of Joe yelling
Says Benny Is the Great
est Of, Them All.

James Johnston, who piloted Joe
yelling recently in his bout with
Richie Mitchell at Racine, and who
for long time has been on the trail
of Benny Leonard. gave this curious
insight TO his character the other day
after the fight. He has been panning
Leonard a good deal, but now comes
out and says that deep down in his
heart he never meant IT.
Listen,
You know I've been panning Benny
for a long time and trying to force
an issue with yelling. But on the
quiet now. while nobody is listening
and we are alone. / want to say that
what 1 write about Leonard isn't
what l really think.
AS a mtter of fact, / believe him
to be just what most experts think
of him. AS far as I am concerned,
do not know of a fighter in the busi-
ness l would rather see step into a
ring than this same young man. /
always go to see him and just eat up
his work. I think he is a wonder
and the greatest workman with a set
of boxing gloves of the present day
There's always a chance that a good
hitter like yelling or a clever fellow
like Lewis of doing business with
him, but that's a matter of business
with me. and has nothing to do with
what I think of Leonard himself"
Speaking Of the yelling Mitchell
scrap, yelling was a rather saddened
man after it was all over and he was
on his way back East. He couldn't
understand why it was he failed to
finish Mitchell in that terrific third
round when he walloped Richie on
the jaw for the count Of mine.
II hit him solidly on the chin and
could feel that he was hurt" yelling
said. but when l began to move
after him after 1he landed on his feet
1 seemed to be hypnotized or some
thing Of the sort. A sort of dead
feeling crept over me and, try as I
would. 1 couldn't shake it of. I've
had the same thing happen TO me be-
fore when 1 got awful tired, but that
was always at the end of a fight and
not right at the start I can't ac-
count for it."
yelling paid Mitchell a high COM
pliment, saying that he is one Of
the greatest boys he ever met and a
worthy oponent for any of them.

TY COBB'S VIEWS ON
PASSING OF BASEBALL

Detroit, June 1S.-"I'm in Class 2
and ready to answer when Uncle Sam
calle me-" said Tyrus Raymond Cobb.
but I'd really hate to see baseball
pass out. Don't think that IL l go
they'll have TO close the gates! They
played the game before 1 started. and
they'll play it when am gone. But 1t
mustn't stop because of the war. While
the boys are fighting in France,
there'll be many folks right here, and
they'll want to forget the horrors OF
battle not permanently. but for an
hour or two each day. They'll want to
go out and breathe the fresh air.
Baseball players are professional en-
tertainers, and as such it is my con-
tention that they are essential to the
country in furnishing recreation for
the stay-at-homes. I'm not talking
from the maSnates' standpoint. but for
our people. Baseball should go on as
usual"

ELEAGUEIF'
LAWHOLDSGOOD
Major Circuits May Merge
For Season Should Crow
der's Orders Stand.

The major leagues are marking
time awaiting a definite announce
ment from the Provost Marshal's
once on his. Interpretation of the
fight or work order which is to go
into effect on July /.
The order as II was originally
fromed included all men OF draft
age participating in professional
sports and exempted actors. Pro-
fessional baseball considers that its
calling is also a public entertain
ment. and that they should be con-
sidered the same class as actors.
Numerous baseball players in the
major leagues. who are within the
draft age. but who have been placed
in deferred classes because of de-
pendents, will not know where they
stand until further notice is receiv-
ed from Crowder's office. Such a
notice has been promised some time
this week. In the meantime. unless
the ball players are exempt, the
major leagues will have a difficult
task on their hands rearranging
their forces 10 enable them to play
out the season.
II the original order stands as II
was first announced, both the Ma
tional and American leagues will
be so badly disorga anized that a re-
adjustment of both circuits may be
necessary. The clubowners have
been busy making plans. and in case
there are no exceptions from the
order. it is likely that the base
ball season will be finished with
only one league playing.
II is believed by many club own
ers that the fight or work order
would mean that both leagues would
have to pool their players into one
eight-club circuit

AGREE ON WEIGHT QUESTION.
Battle Between Leonard and Brit

Philadelphia. June 1s-The Benny
Leonard-Jack Britton battle, which
will be waged at Shibe Park on
the night of June 25, will be the first
open-air engagement of the 1918 sea-
son. Promoters Taylor and Gunnis,
after a long delay, finally succeeded
in getting the combatants to agree
on the weight question, which for a
time seemed destined to keep the
classy gladiators apart.
Now that each has posted his for
felt Of 5000 for weight and appear
ance, the match is assured. Yester-
day tickets were placed on sale. The
advance orders have been heavy, and
already enough have been disposed of
to assure the financial success Of the
bout.
4. Jack Britton will be here either
Thursday or Friday to complete his
training at Jack O'Brien's gymna.
SUM. Leonard will continue to con-
dition himself at Billy Grupp's quar-
ters in New York until. the night Of

vented from taking place in Dam
bury. there Is no reason for hand
ing any money to Mulvihill, especi-
ally as 1t is not believed that he can
in any way interfere with the con-
tracts OF Fulton and Dempsey.
Sam Harris stated tonight that he
had received no proposition to call
of his July 6 date as yet. and sees
no reason why he should call of
the plans he has made for the two
big matches June 20 and July 6.
Americus insists the bout would
draw many persons from New York,
Philadelphia, Washington and other
large cities because there has been
much discussion regarding the rela-
tive merits of the heavyweight con-
tenders. 1t was reported at the
time that the Danbury promoter
made the match that purse Of
$4,000 would be hung up.
Americus said he would rather give
such a guarantee than permit the
boxers to work on q percentage basis.
But $4,000 is a lot Of money and espe-
cially when anyone depends upon an
open-air show to get It back for him.
In addition that is an enormous purse
for contenders, particularly when It
Is remembered that many fight fans
have left this and other cities for the
big battle across the water.
Fulton and Dempsey now stand
matched for 20 rounds. but II is highly
improbable that they would be per-
mitted to go that distance here. The
permit. in all likelihood, calls for IS
rounds. and Deputy Marshall House
would insist upon naming as referee
Frank O'Brien. of Philadelphia.
There Is no doubt that there is real
interest in both Fulton and Dempsey,
and more fans believe their meeting
would result in better go than would
have been put up by Willard and Full
ton. for the reasons that Fred is not
taken seriously by the majority of
the followers OF boxing.
