LEONARD BESTS DUNDEE
Champion Scores an Easy Victory,
0utpointing Opponent in Six Of
Eight Rounds.

NEWARK. n. J.. January 21.-Ben-
ny Leonard, lightweight champion, had
no difficulty outpointing Johnny Dun
dee Of New York in an eight-round
bout at the 1st Regiment Armory here
last night. The contestants weighed
in at pm. Leonard tipping the scales
at 134ls and Dundee at 1870.
With the exception of the first and
third rounds. which went to Dundee
on aggressiveness, the champion led
throughout. landing the more effective
blows Dundee was willing at all times,
but Leonard was too fast.
In the second and fourth rounds
Leonard kept his opponent away with
left hooks to the face and in the fifth
round Quickened the pace, cornering
Dundee and sending in left hooks and
short right uppercuts. The champion
landed several hard rights to the body
in the sixth and drove Dundee about
the ring in the seventh with success

In the final round Dundee was
turned completely around by a hard
left to the head. His face was marked

demanded by the rules. ] rather
agreed with Hildebrand. An Ohio
attorney, who happens to be a fan,
writes me very interesting letter
on that point, in which he claims um-
pires should always adhere closely
to the rules, and be on the safe side.
Here are parts of the letter:
To permit umpires to set aside
rules and declare runner safe when
he is out according to rule would be
to set the judgment of the umpire
above all rules, which, Of course, no
one will contend for.
When the rules do not cover the
point, or admit Of double construc-
tion. then by all means let the UNI
pire use his best Judgment and de-
ide by the rule of fair play.
Besides. would a decision calling
the runner safe be fair where a run
ner stumbles into the coacher? I do
score think that both the technical
rule and the rule Of fair play" would
be grossly violated. What was the
primary cause of the trouble? The
runner stumbled. Very well. is 1t a
mark Of good playing for runner to
stumble all over the lot? And II he
does should all Of his awlSwardness
good as the sure-footed player whose
feet do not get In his way? Suppose
this stumble had occurred within ter
feet Of the plate and by reason Of thu
stumble the ball had beaten the run
ner. What would you have said OF
the umpire who would declare. "Oh
the stumble was an accident II he
hadn't stumbled he would have
reached the plato ahead of the ball
Therefore, in the interests Of fair
play win allow the run" Now for
the analogy of the two cases: What
this umpire did say was. 'Oh, the
stumble was an accident. II he hadn't
.tumbled he would not have been
touched or held by the coacher
Therefore in the interests of fair
play I will allow the run" Why
should the stumble be excused in one
case and not in the other? The rules
make it crime to be touched or
held by the coacher at third and also
crime to fail to reach the plate
ahead of the ball. The punishment
for each of the crimes is the same
that is, out" Therefore the crimes
are equal Why should the umpire
pardon one when even a schoolboy
umpire on a back lot would never
think of pardoning the other?

How Old Plan Worked.
Prior to July /, 1918, all changes in

Because Of these conditions the
muster rolls were abolished July /.

which eliminated much Of the data en-
tered on the muster rolls. At the same
time each enlisted man had an envelope

Several Oddities in Schedule.

One Is that Boston gets the jump on
the other towns in the league by
opening April 10, Patriots day, in
Boston Nobody works at the Hub
on this date and. as 1t will mean
capacity crowds for Fenway Park, it
was figured too choice morsel to be
passed up. The New York club is
favored in getting this plum, but
following this premature start both
Red Sox and Yankees will idle until
the regular embarrassing date, when
they will start again.
Another oddity of the dates as ar
ranged is that the Nationals will be
given a four-day vacation here be-
tween September 81 and 26. On the
latter date the Red Sox open the
seasons final series of three games.
Sunday. September IS, being the last
day OF the campaign. You can

have a chance for the flag at this
