LEONARD STOPS
WILLIE RITCHIE
Lightweight Champion Wins Slash.
ing Bout in Eighth and Final
Round of Bout Last Night.

Newark, n. j., April 29-Benny
Leonard, the lightweight champion
of the world, stopped Willie Ritcnie
of San Francisco, the former holder
of the title, at the First Regiment
armory in Newark last night in the
eighth round Referee Slim Bren-
nan stopped the fight minuate and
a half after the round started, when
Richie was helpless on the ropes
Except in the third round, when
Richie made a rally and forced the
champion backward around the
ring, Leonard had the best of the
bout all the way.
Ritchie's gameness was the only
thing which kept him battling
With remarkable courage the for
mer champion took all the punish
ment which Leonard gave him, and
without fiinching took rights AID
lefts to the jaw which would have
battered down any other boxer who
stood before the furious attack.
Leonard's bitter punches began
to weary Richie in the second
round, and wicked rights and lefts
to the jaw sent him down for the
count of nine. He got up and stag
gered his way through the session
gamely. His revival in the third
round was a big surprise. and he
tore into Leonard with such fury
that the champion kept backing
away.
This round was the only one in
which Richie had any advantage.
After Leonard had battered his OPP
poueut with a shower of blows in
the seventh Richie came up al the
bell for the eighth round a weary
boxer.
Leonard went at him coo!ly and
began to tantalize him with stiff
iabs to the face. Richie used all
the defensive tricks he knew to
stop the smashes which were COM
ing at him. Leonard speeded up his
punches and the former champion
imagined that two or three boxers
were directing blows at his head.
A stiff left jolt sent Ritchie's head
back, and when Leonard followed
up this blow with a terrific smash
to the jaw Ritchie's knees sagged
and he went to the floor. As Bren-
nan tolled the nine seconds above
him there was a forlorn look OF
helplessness on Ritchie's face He
staggered to his feet and Leonard
again tore in with rights ana let's
Ritchie tried in vain to block the
onslaught of blows as once again
Leonard's driving attack broke
down his guard and again the
rights and let's bounded of
Ritchie's battered jaw.
Another terrific right sent Richie
back against the ropes. his arms
fell to his sides, and he sank toward
the floor. There was a CLASSY look

Chicago Fans May See Contest
After Working HOurs-Wet
Grounds Halt Tilt.

Chicago, April 29.-ChicagO base
ball fans never have seen a twi-
light game of baseball, but they
may have a chance to view one on
June IS, just when the days are
longest. if a suggestion to Presi-
dent Mitchell and Vice President
Weeks of the north siders is car
ried out.
Because of wet grounds and gen.
eral disgust toward present wealth
CT conditions the game yesterday
between the Cubs and st. Louis
was postponed to be played as part
OF a double header or June 26.
Here is the suggestion:
Start the double header between
the Cubs and Cards at 5 o'clock as
usual that day. and start the sec
end game of the double header az
5 80. just to see whether the
crowds of fans who are tied up at
business until about 5 O'Clock are
willing to go from their work to the
game and take a late supper, for
that one evening.
Because of the advanced time L
would be an easy matter at that
date to play a game of ball start
ing at $50 and all fans who can't
get out except on Saturday af err
noon or Sunday would have
chance to go for the second game OF
the double header. thus seeing a
regular game Of ball and not miss
irg work to see it. Others who
might be on hand at o'clock would
see two games for the nrice of one.
