LEONARD SHADES DUNDEE
 IN LIVELY BOUT

Benny Leonard outpointed Johnny Dundee in their eight-round bout at the ArmOTy A. A. in Newark last night before a crowd of 5000 persons. The lightweight champion had the better of five of the eight rounds, Dundee earned the second and third, with the fourth even.
 Dundee fought his usually aggres- s.ve battle. jumping about the ring and swinging wildly, but it was of no avail against his cleverer and cooler opponent. Leonard boxed a waiting bout. He was content to let Dundee do The leading make him miss and then counter with a stiff left jab or a sharp right hook. Had 1t been pos sible to keep accurate count of the blows scored by each man it would have been found that Benny landed at least two for every one of Dun dco's.
 No real damage was done and there was nothing approaching d decisive ending to the bout When the boxers left the ring at the end of the Sth round neither showed any outward siEus of the milling. Neither bore a mark.
 All doubt as 10 Lsonard's ability to mako the lightweight limit was d.SpolIod when it wa announced from the ring that Benny weighed I25 la pounds and that Dundee had tipped the beam ato 13O 1-2. This aHnuSncemout was received with a great display of enthusiasm by Leo uard's supporters for it has been con- tended by some critics that Benny was no longer a legitimate lightweight but that he was a full-grown weIter- weight. Leonard has epmhaticauy denied theses tories and several days ago stated that he would prove ho could make the lightweight limu when he met Dundee.
 Dundee was reprosen cd by several followers. and they cheered to an echo when the popular little Italian climbed through tho ropes. Leonard's supporters were legion. They ap- plaudod the champion for nearly five minutes when he entered the ring.
 For the greater part of the bout punG-e stayed on his feet and did not hriug his old old jumping tactics into play. Johnny kept springing in with pauthcr-Hko speed and grace on Leonard. Benny blocked many of JohEuy's leads, slipped or sidestepped some of his rushes but try as the champion might he could not keep the Italian from landing more blows than lac received.
 Tho only round in which Dundee showed the effect of Leonards blows was the first when Benny ocked the Italian with short inside uppercuts. The champion rattled Johnny's moIars and twice sent him back on his heels. After the first round Jonny found a defence for the inside uppercuts and Beuur had trouble landing the blows thereafter,

HARVARD HAS
 STIFF PRACTICE

Cambridge. Mass, Sept. 1s.---There was plenty of action on soldiers Field yesterday afternoon when the liar ward coaches sent their candidates into their first sCrimmage of the year. The preliminary drill and the dummy taClllinE sessions were longer than usual. but the days work wound up wIsh some real football.
 Coach Fisher. who has mixed his old and young players tndiscrimi- nntely, made no attempt to arrange a first string lineup, but sent the first two olCvens of the varsity squad through % minutes play. The backs found trouble to gain through either line. The tacl.ling was good. but the players on defence showed lack of experience in opening holes.
 Billy Murray was at quarter for team "A" and got much speed into the outfit besides doing some good open field work on Church's kicks. which were very good and well placed.
 Woods, the 1920 tackle. and HadIey. who was considered varsity timber three years ago, looked good on the line. as did Philbin. a former fresh man centre rush.
 Of the end rushers Phinney. a 1916 varsity substitute. and Ryan did by far the best work, Hadleys presence in the lineup was encouraging. He has Joen showing effects of being Sasscd while in the service, but the coaches now hope he will be able to continue in the game.

JIM THORPE IS REGARDED AS
 DUMB PLAYER

The general impression prevails that tNc primo requisite of a- major league outrfoIdcr is that he be able to Hall the ball and that any player who can bat above zoo and catch anything that comes within reasonable distance of him. is criaINIo for a place ia the gar don. writes a Boston critic. Witness the case of Jim Thorpe. however. Na- tiouaIl League avCra EOS show that tho Boston Bravo iE batting for .226 and is tied for second place, and yet only the other day came cement of his sale to a Pacific coast tenn,
 The reason is his lack of what Is termed a 'anec5oIl brain," and Stall inEs only learned what M0Graw had previously known.

The Braves haven't had The breaks. but have playe" good ball generally, except on Saturdays. They're like the old Tanzs Tn this respect. That team. when Frank Farrell owned it and when Grim managed it. could play grandIy before small week day Gs- sembla ages.

 Business at the Tenway in Boston has been good, even with the team owned by Frazee, Barrow and others but of @he race. But it ought to have been good, as C.. T. Stallings points out, for the Western teams that came along all were contenders. They have Ruth, wonderful drawing card, es- pecially in Boston.
