Benny Leonard, thanks to his vic
tory over Freddie Welsh on May IS,
1917, is the worlds lightweight cham
pion. He knocked out the Engiish-
man in the ninth round. thus taking
the title beyond dispute. He has
never defended his title in a decision
battle since that time, contenting
himself with travelling short distances
for large amounts of money. He is
now said to be worth considerable
money and really does not need TO
box much to keep any wolves from
running around in the alleyN behind
his house. IL
Leonard Is a Iikable chap. He is
unusually intelligent and business
like. He knows how to make dollar
and better how to hold ii. once it
gets within his reach. Friends in
Wall Street are said to have made it
possible for him to acquire a small
sized fortune since April 8, 1917.
From April s. 1917, to November II,
1918. the worlds champion shouldered
no rife. He donned the khaki, it is
true. but only to teach a lot of other
lads how to use their hands in case
they happened to get into the German
trenches. Benny stayed on this side
teaching the swarming candidates for
those honors of the trenches. In a
way he was valuable to this country,
but he lost many friends by his back
wardness in coming forward.
He Dodges Tender.
Today the lightweight ranks hold
but one real contender for Leonard's
title- Lew Tender. the Philadelphia
southpaw, 10 the one boxer thought
to have q chance with Leonard. Per-
sonaiiy, we fail to take much stock in
Tender, believing him too light and
frail to hold his own with Leonard.
But the champion apparently is OF q
different frame of mind.
Tender can make 129 pounds ring

better than 139 pounds ringside

MIDDIES GET TWO
PROMISING LADS

In Huntington. New York city
youth and former st. Paufs school
athlete, the Naval Academy has an
oarsman who may take the place of
Bill Ingram as stroke of the first
crew next season. He weighs 100
pounds, and has made splendid
showing on the class and company
crews this summer. He also played
guard on the school team, but is
keeping off the gridiron this year on
account of a former injury. He is
likely to prove valuable anothe year

McDonough A. c, football players.
of Baltimore, will come here Sunday
TO tackle the Rex Athletic Club. The
fast northeast clubmen will practice
tomorrow and Saturday in anticipa-
ton of a hard game.
Little is known of the strength Of
the Baltimoreans. other than that
they are anxious to take a crack at
the Rex lads. In winning the second
battle of the season Sunday against
the Philadelphia Vincomes the Rex
lads failed to show the expected
punch. Capt. Johnny Bleier and
Coach Martin are expected to iron
the wrinkles out of the Rex lads

Rex is booking all of the fast

or that he be allowed to make 13J
pounds at . o'clock. Billy Gibson,
-Leonard's astute manager, says that
when Welsh met Leonard in New York
on May %, 1917, the little Britisher
insisted on 135 pounds at o'clock,
which is the British custom, and that
the concession was granted. To make
sure of the title. though. Leonard
weighed in at 133 pounds, the gener-
ally admitted American weight for
the class.
Doubt His Weight.
For almost a year now boxing
writers have doubted that the light
make 133 pounds. His work at
Camp Upton has added to his weight
considerably, especially in the legs
He is big little fellow His thighs
are those of a welterweight and his
general physique is bulkier than that
OF most Iightweights.
Leonard's best stunt Is to meet
good welters like Jack Britton, Ted
Kid Lewis and Soldier Bartfeld.
This permits him to come in at catch
weights himself and always finds him
strong as bull. Also, with a small
army OF press agents talking of his
winning two titles by knocking out
the welterweight champion. thous-
ands of poor fish are induced to pay
their money and watch the decision
less bout. It's great stuff for Leon
ard and his treasurer
II Leonard were to defend his title
seriously, he would have to make the
limit of his class in the United
States, which is 133 pounds at 3
o'clock, and the referee would have
to make a decision. Making the
weight would probably take so much
of the champions strength that he
might lost to a strong. rugged light
weight who could make 133 pounds
at 3 o'clock without weakening him
self.
And now you know why Leonard
likes catchweight no-decision con-
tests. They permit him to keep his
title. As long as he is champion he
can gather in the shekeIs. But the
Connecticut soldiers in the Hartford
Home Guards have done well in op-
posing this latest attempt OF the

HARRY COSTELLO
TO TELL STORY

Georgetown varsity eleven
meets Detroit University in De-
troit Saturday and Harry ].
Costello, the greatest player
who ever wore the Blue and
Gray, will tell Washington fans
all about it through the columns
OF The Washington Times. Don't
miss his story in next Sundays
edition.
Harry Costello was a star for
four years at Georgetown, being
captain of the 1913 eleven. He
was brilliant dropkicker,
punter, forward passer and
broken field runner. Georgetown
has never seen his like, either
before or since.
"Cossy" coached Detroit Uni
yersity until the call to arms
was heard. Then he entered the
army, playing with We Camp
Custer eleven in 1917. He was
sent to Russia where, as COM
mander of a machine gun COM
pany, he was three times decor
ated for bravery by the British
and French governments. He is
now back in Detroit, playing
professional football for sheer
love CT the game. He has con-
sented to write for The Wash
ington Times a story of Satur-
days clash at Navin Field be-
tween his alma mater and the
eleven, he coached in 1915 and

TECH WILL ENGAGE
CENTRAL S CHAMPS

Tomorrow at Central High School
stadium the biggest high school foot
ball battle of the year will be fought
out, when Central and Tech take the
field. Neither team has sustained de-
feat this season. Both elevens are
well drilled. stack up about evenly in
weight and will possess the spirit
which has marked CentralTech en-
gagements over a couple of decades.
1t will be the first meeting between
Tech and Central over a two-year
stretch. Last year the teams failed to
meet. This season both have put in
many licks in preparation for each
other.
The meeting is early in the high
school schedule. As result the foot
ball season is likely to be an anti
climax. Central-Tech engagements
should be at the end of the series,
because of the size of the schools and
the strength of the teams involved.
None of the others is capable Of
giving either Tech or Central more
able to put up a fairly good article
against both Tech and Central. but
the real contest of the year is that
between the Mt. Pleasant lads and
the Manual Trainers.
In high school battles Central has
been unbeaten over a three-year
stretch. This season Tech believes it
has frst-class chance TO trail the
Central banner. To this intent Tech
has been working harder than ever
to turn the trick.
1t is expected that Magofin, Jour-
net, and Shalet will handle the game.

ton of officials.

the idea OF holding Har"s I'd down a.
much as Is possible.
Realization has come here that the
Virginia team is not up IN anything

shown up several defects in the work

Virginia intends TO hold down the

that against Hsrvard's heavier and

Teams Agreed Upon
Cutting Down

When the Rex Athletic Club
and Vincome A. C. players met at
Union Park last Sunday, the
rival captains, Spatz and Bleier,
agreed to eliminate one of the
roughest plays in football. Fans
who saw the contest agree that
it was as clean a game as has
been played here in many a sea-
son. Bleier and Spatz agreed to
instruct players to eliminate the
dangerous practice of Cutting
down" from behind. The teams
observed the agreement and not
one of the players was dumped
from behind during play.
