Benny Leonard may meet Mike ODowd the middleweight champion and thereby hangs tale.
 When Benny was matched to meet Johnny Dundee at New Haven, be- sides his guarantee he asked for 30 per cent of the gate receipts. Vim cent Reina, the promoter of the bout, argued against this, and to settle the matter he said he would give t1e xetra five per cent, if Leonard knocked out Mel Coogan, at that time matched to meet Leonard.
 Reina thought he was quite safe in promising the extra five per cent, inas1nuch as Coogan had just clearly outpointed Dundee. COOgan and Leonard met and Coogan was pan caked in two rounds Leonard was more excited about that extra five per cent that he was about the vic 2 tory over Coogan, a real good light weight.
 Dave Drisco11, seeking to put pep and vim into the coming bout be- tween Leonard and Dundee, which aakes place in DriscoH's Arena in Jer- sev City next Monday night, has of fered to match O'Dowd and Leonard on condition that the lightweigff champion stops Dundee.

Sounds Like The Old Days

A saw mill outfit located north and
west of the depot is making lot of
noise and sounds like those heard in
the early days of this town when the
place had first class reputation as
a saw mill and numbering city. The
outfit is owned by Dey Richmond and
is capable of turning out in the neigh
borhood of five and six thousand feet
of lumber per day. At present the
sawyers are engaged in cutting up a
lot of pine loge for Elmer Bowen,
which the latter purchased in the
trees from Mrs. VIM. Aubill and which
stood around the lake on the Aubill
farm. Considerable other custom work
is also on hand and the chances are
that the mill will be kept busy until
late this spring. While saving Satur,
day morning the saw struck number
of nails which had been driven into
the tree at time in the past and had
been grown over with wood so that
they could not be noticed. This acci-
dent put the saw in such shape that it
was necessary to stop and refit it be-
fore they will be able to go ahead with
the saving which will perhaps be the
latter part Of this week.
