 Dutch Leonard, the veteran

 all efforts of the Yankees to have
 him join the team this season, re

 played recently against the Chi

 pitching six innings. As the pos

Uously enthusiastic over the enter prise. Anyway, it means a corking good job for Dick.
 And a matchIla '.er with the expe- rieuce of Dick CurIey will be d bless ing for that club, for there is nothing so detrimental to the success of any boxing club as an incomplete or medi- ocre matchmaker. Dick is used to do- ing things on a large scale. He be Ieves that if you must do something, do something big or nothing at all.

Tommy Griffith, who is the Robins right fielder, predicts that if past performances mean anything he will break up sever al games this summer when the Robins and Reds are playing. It will be recalled that Griffith was Q member of the Braves during the early part of 1914. Stallings sent him to the American Asso- ciation in June of that year, and after he left the club the Braves started their spurt that resulted in their winning the pennant. In 1915 Griffith came back to the majors as a, Red and since then his base hits against Boston pitchers have accounted for many Cincin17ti victories over the Braves. lie is confident that Pat Morau's tw!rIers will be his victims this sumner.

A NE week from today Benny Leon U ard will meet Willie Eitchie at Dave EIacl,ey Sporismen's A C.. in Newark It will not be champion ship affair It was just two months ago today at Frisco that the former lightweight champion defeated the present titlebordnr in a foUr-rouncer.
 The question now arises: WiL TZitchie duplicate that performance over a distance twice as much as that over which they travelled a san I0ranCisco2 There arc those who s1y ives" and there arc many more who most emphaticauy say 'no-'
 Personally the writer says ''ro.' We will also go a step farther and say thaL We will not at all hh su.u~ia- sed if Benny Leonard stops the Hash from inc Coast. Benny IS not lad to be triRed with He is training for tlis bout as he has never trained be- fore. Four rounds are in5uLiicien, for him or any other Eusl e-n boxer who has been in the habit of working t least six rounds. TO tho WesteIn.r four rounds is today enough to bring out the best in them. In this fact lies the secret to the success with which those Coast men have met in bouts with Fasteners who invaded their territory within the past eight months.
 The average Eastern boxer,
 too. takes every second of four
 rounds to sfzo up his opponent,
 .Amateurish and novice boxers,
 however, are Ioorey enough to gc
 richt in without knowledge of
 what the other chap carries. But
 with champions, who have every . thing to lose it is an entirely
 different story.
 But eight rounds q our humble opinion. will he just two rounds too long for Leonard. for we will loo7- for a knockout from Benny any time after the fourth. Then, too, Ritohie. according to several gentlemen who saw the Leonard fight on the Coast and have seen him in action down at Billy Grupp's in Ncw York, will not he as good AS he was two months. He has Ioafed for moro than six weeks. Meantime he got married. He may have played golf and all that but it's the punch that will count in this com ing battle.

Cannot Be Recognized By Connecticut Authorities and Bind Neither Party Montreal Will Have Big Arena-Sp -Sportorials.

Which, of course, the boxer usually does.
 It is not the intention ot the writer to encourage boxers to break away from their managers, but for the benefit of those who desire and advo- cate fair play it is only but proper and just that We say that these sup posedly irou-clad contracts are. not worth the paper on which they are written. The fact that such a con tract has been drawn up in the pres ence of a notary public or dozen lowyers doesn't make a particle of difference.
 Boxing is not a legalized sport in the state C< Connecticut Contracts or even agreements, for that is all rccntract amounts to, binding any person or persons to do something that is not legally recognized by law are and cannot be recognized by any court of this state. Not until the boxing bill now before the state Iegis- ture is passed will contracts be vaild-
 But this does not mean that
 contracts drawn today or that
 might have been drawn weeks
 ago will be valid. The law-if
 the bill is enacted into q law and
 chances now are extra ordinarily
 bright that that will be done
 will recognize only contracts con-
 summated after the statute be-
 comes cfectfve-and not prior to
 it's effectiveness or enforcement
 But so far as contracts held to-
 day by manager CT boxer
 binding either one 10 stick to the
 other-they are worthless and
 can be broken by either party
 without fear of law suit of inter
 ference from the courts.

WHO WILL BE FIRST
IN GOLD STAR CLUB?

A greater part of those who pur-
chased 81 900 in,War Savings Stamps
in 1918 are expected to invest in a
like amount of the 1919 series. There
were more than 10000 "limit" buyers
in Ohio last year.
There is to be organized the Gold
Star Limit Club, membership to which
will be given those who duplicate this
year the purchase made in 1918 of
81 900 in War Savings Stamps. Be-
cause War Savings Stamps have be-
come so popular with the so-called
Alarge" investor, it is expected the
number Of "limit" buyers this year
will exceed that Of last.
Membership in the Gold Star Limit
club will be indicated by gold star,
attached to small silk flag, which
may be attached to the $1,000 certifi-
cate given in 1918. The new insignia
will carry appropriate lettering.
During January, $1,000 Of the 1919
issue of War Savings Stamps can be
purchased for 1924. These will ma
ture January 1, 1924, at which time
the government will pay the holder
$1,000.

The current week has been set
aside as Universal Week Of Prayer by
the church generally, including the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Since the raising of the flu ban in
several communities the association

The annual County Boys Confer
ence is planned for February Is, when
the new State Boys Secretary, Mr..
