LEONARD IN SHAPE.
Champion Talks About His Condition
 in Last Bout With Ritchie.

New York, April t9.-Benny Leon ard yesterday admitted for the first time that he was not in satisfactory condition when he faced Willie Ritch- ie in a four round bout in San Fran cisco. The champion did not deny that physically he felt all right, but says that in the matter of speed he was not up to his usual standard. Leonard held the opinion then, and has not since changed it, that he is a speedier man than Ritchie with feet and hands, and the fact that he had difficulty in keeping up with the pace set by the former champion in the four round bout conVinces the cham plon that in some unaccountable manner he had slowed.
 Since getting home and training with his customary industry Leonard declares that he has regained his speed, and will give surprise to Ritcllie when they meet in Newark on April 2S
 Dr. Jeffrey, trainer of Ritchie, yes terday delared that the Californian is Tn superb physical condition and ready for any kind of a dispute, long or short. The doctor asserts that Ritchie has achieved a wonderful re- turn to pugilistic form
