Leonard Is a Game Boxer

Out in Benton Harbor Of the critics who saw the
" Leonard White battle said that Benny did not like to
take punishment and running away from the Chi
cagoan after being hit hard of the earlier rounds
They questioned his gamencss and predicted that the
champion would quit, IL he ever found the going too
rough.
All of that talk is bunk Benny Leonard is game,
aggressive boxer and proved it beyond all question of
doubt last night Don't imagine for minute he was ut
n cream puff party. He hit harder and more often
than in half dozen ordinary battles and he took his
punishment like a Loughln rocked him several
times with hard left hooks and in the seventh round Benny
reelng around the ring, all but out
II he hadn't been game he would have dropped for
a short count anyway for he needed a rest Instead
he staggered in and of clnche held his weary
up to guard against the wild swings which being
aimed in the direction of his head and put up wonderful
defensive exhibition. Had Loughn landed of those
haymakers he would have been famous today for Benny
surely would have gone to the canvas for good.
WE HAVE seen Leonard hand out punishment, but
W neper before haze zee him take il. He is
there forty rdys and last night proved he real
champion.

SEABOARD PLANS
TO ADD TO SHOP
MECHANICS HERE
Sending of Men Contin-
gent On Getting
Homes For Them

The vital need for more houses in
Americus was brought forcibly to
the front yesterday by the informa-
ton, coming from Superintendent
Hurley, of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad, that plans were IN the max
ing for increasing the personnel of
skilled mechanics at the Seaboard
shops here, provided houses for them
to live in could be obtained.
1t developed that Mr. Hurley had
recently informed the Chamber of
Commerce indirectly that it was
planned to add about Is machinists
and boiler makers to the shop force
here within short time, the maxi
mum number of men the present
equipment of the shops would accom-
modate, if places for them to live
could be found. He stated further
that he was asking the officials of
the company to install additional ma
chimes here that would require 35
or 40 additional skilled men, also
contingent upon residences for them
being found.
ACSO1QlIS W lll1OIuldLlOu gwen ny
Mr.. Hurley, it is highly desirable to
rehabilitate the Americas shops, At
present the only shops of the system
are located in larger coast cities
Portsmouth, Va, Savannah, and
Jacksonville. Labor troubles in
these places, with migrating help, is
understood to have given the officials
grave concern. They are said to
feel that it is now highly desirable
to operate shops in smaller centers
where labor troubles will be at a
minimum. Previous experiences in
this respect in Americus, when the
shops were formerly operated on a
large scale, are said to have been re-
called favorably in giving the prob
lem consideration.
A we'll known citizen of Americas
is understood to be contemplating the
erection of a number of cottages for
rental or sale purposes in the vicini-
ty of the Seaboard shops during the
summer, a matter which should prove
of Importance in connection with the
desires of the company in this line.
