"TM NEXT CHAMPION"
SAYS JOHNNY DUNDEE
Leonard's Agreement to Make
1876 Pounds Has Increased
Foes Confidence

Promoter Leon Rains is one promoter
who fakes no chances on the principals
in his show not making their appear
anco. This morning he left for New
York to get first hand information from
Leonard and Dundee.
Leonard reached New York last night
from Montreal, where he defeated
Charley Pitts. the clever Australian, in
ten fast rounds. Irish Patsy Cline ac-
companicd Leonard. Leonard reported
in great shape, and said the workout
with Pitts was what he needed to pre-
pare him for his six round meeting with
Johnny Dundee at the Pills Park on
Monday night.
Dundee. who is doing his trimming in
New York. yesterday flashed this tele-
gram to Promoter Rains: Training
hard; will be in great shape for fight :;
expect to be lightweight champion after
ncvt Monday night
This breathcS confidence. Johnny has
every reason to be clatcd. for il is the
first timr Leonard ever agreed to make
weight for him. and this in itself is
sufficient to give Dundee more than an
even chance. Leonard at l3J pounds
will have no distinct advantage over the
clever Italian boy.

ROBERT CLEANS
CUSHIONS OFF DAVENPORT
Ros CarpeBeater Dusts off Dave and Cives As Third Yin
in Last Fiue Engagements at Shibe Stadium
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

Roaring Robert Roth squashed a
Davenport yesterday and cleaned the
cushions with one swipe of his carpet
beater.
Robert has been doing considerable
cushion cleaning of late, but yesterday
was the first time this season he con-
centrated on Davenport. When he
stopped swinging his wicked weapon
Davenport didn't have leg to stand on
and he Topped to the rock bottom of
defeat.
1t was in the seventh inning of the
first engagement with the Browns on
Mr.. Shibe's lawn that Robert got in his
mighty mauling. A triple roared off
his bat when there were three members
of the Mack baseball party on the cush-
ions of the way stations. He later made
it whole housekeeping by busting
home on Mayors wild chuck to the
third.
Figured In Three Runs
The clean up act put the AS out in
front at 5-3 and made possible the sec
ond straight win and the third victory
for the Macks in their last five home
encounters. And Roaring Robert has
had heaps to do with all of the three
triumphs.
The following gives an idea of how
the Chicago windstorm has been blowing
about rival pitchers:

HARVEY LAKE TRIUMPHS
RN ROBERT 7 PAI,I.

Even though tho majority of the
players still in the running for the
singles championship of the state of
Pennsylvania have reached the third
round of play, the winner of the title
will not be known until next week. This
is due to a confliction of dates between
the tourney out at the Merton Cricket
Club and the intercty matches for the
George Church Cup.
Through some misunderstanding or
other the two events were scheduled for
the same week. And if the present dope
continues to run true to form the play
crs who still will be in the state tour
ney by Thursday afternoon are the
same ones who have been selected to
represent this city against New York
and Boston Friday and Saturday.
The ITtercity Team
In the lower half of the draw at
Merton the names of William T. Tildcn,
I'd, of the Germantown Cricket Club :;
Carlton Shafer and DR.. p. b. Hawk
stand out as the likely semifnaists. In
the upper half Wallace johnson. Craig
Biddle and Harvey Lake are headed
straight for the big matches, which
should be played this week end
There was only one thing to do in the
matter; postpone one until next week.
This has been done and the Pennsyl-
vania state tourney finals will be con
tested next Monday. They must come
off on that day. for most of the stars
are entered in the national mixed dou-
bles championship, which starts at
Philadelphia Cricket Club Monday next.
This Was Some Match
There were quite a number of high
class contests out at Merton yesterday
afternoon. Harvey Lake, of the Phila
delphia Cricket Club, and Stanley
Pearson, of the Germantown Cricket
Club, staged the feature battle. This
was a duel between two stars of the
back court, with many long rallies and
deuce games coming to the fore.
Lake finally won in two sets. but
only after he knew he had played some
tennis.

runs with single and triple and scored
once.
Monday, against Cleveland (Enzmann
pitching) Drove in one run with single
and scored once after tripling.
Tuesday, against st. Louis (Daven-
port pitching) Drove in three runs with
triple and scored once.
Connie Absent, Too
Two of the three wins since last
Thursday have ben scored in the alb
sence of G. Mack. Since Harry Davis
took charge Sunday, the A S have played
600 ball. Perhaps Connie will stay
away until the cows come home.
Rumor has it that the Athletics boss
is in Boston in close conference with
Harry FraZee, at the end of which
Jack Barry will be with us again on
the Shibe payroll. 1t was first reported
that Bobby Roth would be sent to
Beantown for the one time shortstop
cog of the 100000 intield machine,
Now Scott Perry's name is mentioned
in connection with the trade.
However, in the meantime, the Mack =
less Mackmen are going ahead and up
setting all kinds of dope. Time was
when they couldn't win a ball game
with fifteen hits, and yesterday they
came through with victory with only a
half dozen bingles. Only four of the
six figured in the run getting.

front when he lost his pace. Before he
regained his racing speed Chapman had
taken n lap. Another break in the
twenty sixth mile cost Bedcll a lap.
The veteran rode gamcly and won
back one lap, but the other was too
much and he limpcd under the finish
line one circuit to the bad.
Sprints Popular
Two of the best sprint riders in the
game were seen in competition. Alfred
Goulctt. the Australian hcadliner. who
has been riding brilliantly at the New
ark Neldodromc. won over Willie Han
ley. of California, in straight heats in
the ono mile special match race.
Goulett's driving finishes in both
heats were the deciding factors. He
was there in the pinch aud won each
heat by yard.
Goulett was in naval aviation for ono
year and half, and many believed the
long layoff was going to hurt his riding.
He covered the first mile heat in =
minutes 81 seconds. which is excellent
time, even for those in title races.
Harris Winner
George and Frank Harris, the col
ored sprinters. finished first and second,
respectively, in the two mile open for
amateurs.
John Chapman. manager of the Velo :
drome. will stage two motor paced races
on Saturday night. In the twenty
mile feature Percy Lawrence meets
Vincent Madonna in a match race. In
another ten mile paced event George

Chapman rode without break. He

the first three miles. He then started
after Chapman. For six laps it was a

The crafty Hunter tried repeatedly
to make the youth break" but he re

Bedell to break clear from Hunter. This
