NEW YORK, Nov. II. - Bonnie
Leonard got his hair, all mussed up
last night in Jersey City.
That's about all the light weight
champion did get in his eight round
bout with Soldier Bartfield. And
about all Leonard did was smooth
down his ruffled locks between little
left jabs directed at the soldiers face.
The champion was gorgeous with
his newly mown, mathematically
parted and slick laying hair and also a
new pair of white satin trunks which
gave him much concern lest his sec
onds get water on them.
Bartfield deliberately and with
malicious intent mussed the cham
.pions hair in the first round. The
champion didn't get quite as mad at
that though as he did in the sixth
round when the soldier knocked him
into the ropes with an awful bang.
He then appeared vicious but some
thing Gained him and he was the
same sweet boy.
Leonard got the decision and gen
erous "razz" from house of over
5000, including Governor-elect Ed
wards, of New Jersey, and Jimmy
Wilde, worlds fly weight chmpion.
All that the fans didn't get in the
main exhibition" of the evening they
got in the eight round mill in which
Mel Coogan trimmed Johnny Dundee.
The little Irishman had clear title
on six of the rounds, one was a draw
and only one went to the Italian.

of raising funds by initiation Of cur.
rency is now bringing home it's bur
den Of trouble, and in extreme cases
the most resolute action must be
taken and at once. In other coun.

initiation such currency must be re-

wages, living, and international ex

the fall in exchange that is going on
is in considerable degree due to
