SUGGEST NEW
 WAY TO GIVE IRELAND FREEDOM
Would Elect Constituent As. sembly As Direct Repre-
 Sentatives of the People

Dublin, Sept. 3.-CCorrespondenc of The Associated Press) The latest proposal put forward with a view to settling the Irish question is to have a new convention, and to make 1t an elected constituent assembly to pre- pare and publish a detailed scheme for Irish f-government. This sug- gestion emerges from the office of the Irish Proportional Representa- ton Society.
 The last convention was a nom mated body chosen by the govern ment and, though it included many men of representative position, the people had no voice in its selection. The new convention. it is urged should give real self f-determination by letting the people choose their own representa- tives.
 The argument that Ireland has all ready chosen it's representatives and made them mostly Sim F7ein Repub- hcans Is met by an examination of the figures of the last election with a view to proving that the result great ly exaggerated the preponderance of the Republicans.
 The contention is that the only true way to arrive at Irish opinion is by proportional representation It is sug- gested that the new convention should consist of 1O5 memb bers elect ed by the existing constituencies so grouped as to have ten mem bers for each group. each eleCtor having a single transfera ble vote The sole function of the convention would be to prepare q scheme of self-govern- ment
 In Sim Fein quarters the plan finds no favor, and there Is no reason to suppose that they would officially recognize the znew convention any more than the old one. The Ulster Party. which came into the old con vention. would be hostile 10 the new one. The antagonists on both ex- tremes stand pat"

Y. in a twenty round decesion bat tie at the big Baseball Park in the Crescent City during NIardi Gras week.
 A match between the featherweight king and Leonard would draw a rec ord d-breaktng crowd inasmuch as the Brooklyn boy made a big hit there last week by winning the referees de- cisiOn over Kid Roster. the Southern champion. after one of the most gru- cling tweity round battles ever wit messed in the Southern city.
 Deonard's style was a revelation to New Orlean fans The press pro claiming him a second Terry McGov- ern and many other nice remarks. In eliminating Roster, who was the Southern featherweight champion. Leonard has fought his way right to a title match with KtIbane. and should Leonard and the champion of the featherweights get together over the marathon route it is a certainty that many of the southern fans who idol ized Leonard will back him to beat Kflbane and annex the Worlds Cham pionship.
 Leonard has been boxing only three years and in that time has stood of such good boys as Joe Lynch, Frankie Burns. Dick Lsoadman, Al Shubert Kid Roster. Jack Sharkey, Eddie Mor- gan. Joe TipHtz, Ralph Brady and many others.
