LEONARD'S PUNCHES
 END COOGAN EARLY
Benny Puts Over kayo in Second Benjamin Beats Tuohey

Jersey City, Dee. 11.~-Benny Leon ard, lightweight champion of the world knocked out Mel Coosan in the second rounG of d scheduled eight round bout before a huge crowd in the Fourth Regiment Armory last night.
 Early in the second round Leonard caught Coogan with a right hand up percut. Coogan went to the canvas for a count Of nine. He was grosgy when he arose and was open for q mbination left hook and straight right from the champion. COogan fell like a log. At the count of eight he got to one knee and attemped to rise. Ills legs refused to support him. The referee stopped the contest and assist ed Coogan to his corner.
 Gov.-elect Edwards and many not ablcs were among the crowd that damned the armory to sufoCntion. They saw two other scheduled eight round bouts end in lInockouts. Al Reich stopped Al Roberts in the sec ond round. and Joe Benjamin of Cali fornia gave Tommy Tuohey so severe a beating that the referee had to end hostilities in the fifth round.
 Leonard weighed l3T pounds and tOOSan Scaleu at iof. I-cOIldlu "aH first to lead but was short with d left. Coogan reached the body with n left. Coogan reached the body with a long left Mel forced the fighting but Ben ny met him coming in with accur- ately driven punches. Benny pecked off most of Mels leads and countered cleverly. The round was given over to light boxing, with Leonard having a shade the better of if.
 The second round opened up as the first, with Coogan forcing the fighting and Leonard scoring on the retreat and waiting for an opening to end it. Suddenly Leonard stepped into the onrushing Coogan and brought up a short snappy uppercut. The blow did not travel more than six inches,. but Benny had his weight and leg thrust behind it. It lifted CoogSln and dump ed him with a thud to the boards. Mel rose tc one knee at four and rest ed for a count of nine. He was none too strong as he tottored to his feet, but lifted his arms weakly in defence. Leonard feinted olcc for the body and Coogon dropped his saurd.
 Quick as d. flash Leonard hooked d left to the jaw and accompanied 1t with d solid right. CooSan fell heav- ily. As before, he rose on one knee. The cobweos still were on his eyes. and instead of taking the full nine seconds he tried to rise at seven. His spirit was willing, but his flesh was weak, He dropped back Cn his knees and was reeling when the referee waved Leonard to his corner and helped the beaten man 10 his feet.

thing that happened on the trip was
that we saw submarine and a sub.
supply boat and lost a man overheard.
When we arrived at Brest we got off
the ship and marched three miles in
land to barracks where we stayed
all night. The barracks were built be-
fore Napolean's time and were used
to house Nepolean's soldiers before he
fought the battle of Waterloo. We
left Brest on Sept. 23rd, travelling in
cattle cars (forty men to a carr and
cars are very small in France. We
arrived at one of the most beautiful
cities you ever saw (St Maxient) two
days later. At this place we were al
lowed to go on the streets for the first
time. There was lot to see and we
had pretty good time. We left there
on September 10Th and after three

German planes came over, dropping
