FITZSIMMONS TO MEET
BENNY LEONARD NEXT
Tex Rickard Announces His Selection
for Champions First
OppOnent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-Eddie Fitz-
simmons, New York lightweight, to-
day was selected by Tex Rickard to
oppose Benny Leonard, worlds light
weight champion, in a fifteen-round
bout at Madison Square Garden, Sep
tember II. FitZsimmons signed the
articles of agreement here today.
Leonard was signed by Richard last
week and was guaranteed $4,000 for
his appearance.
Leonard, who has been accused for
some time of being in reality a welter-
weight, has posted 100000 to- be for
feited IL he fails to weigh in at 1875
eight hours before the bout-the rule
of the army, navy, and civilian board
of control Fitzsimmons also has
posted a forfeit to insure that he
weighs the same.
Richards new Madison Square Gar
den Sporting Club, and his first under
the new Walker boxing bill, will be
to a decision, one of the few in which
Leonard has taken part since he won
his title from Freddie Welsh. Being a
ffteen-round affair 1t will be the
longest in which Leonard has ever
engaged, provided it goes the fifteen
rounds.
Fitzsimmons has been guaranteed
$4,000 for his end OF the bout. He
posted forfeit of $4,000 to guaran-
tee his appearance.

leading the race, will face the Treas
ury nine. Dick Woodward and B. j.
Doyle will umpire.
Down on the Monument Lot the
junior league games will start The
Cavaliers play the Renrocs.
Due to the absence of the daylight
saving law, the teams are finding diff
ficulty in getting nine innings in when
they start at 5:15 p. m. Umpires have
been instructed to get action as near
5:15 as Is possible. 1t is not unlikely
that the games will be started al
8 o'clock. in order to finish up by dark.
Rain has knocked out four games
thus far and prospects of further
postponements are not encouraged by
the sandlotters. who find themselves
approaching mid-September before
decision is reached in the title race.

Two Events Remain to Be Fin
ished Today, But Result
Cannot Be Changed.
By JACK VEIOCk.

ANTWERP. Aug. 23.-Two events
remain TO be finished in the track
and field games OF the seventh
Olympiad, but to all intents and pur-
poses everything has been finished.
SO far as the United States is con-
ccrned this is almost certainly so. for
there is little chance OF American
athletes winning any of the remain
ing contests. although points un-
doubtcdly will be added to the total.
Today the cross-country run and
the 600-meter relay race VIII be
cleaned off the program and the
games will stand finished.
Boxing and wrestling Will be
started in earnest this week and from
there the games will go on into
events of less Importance. Swim
ming contests also will be started
this week.
America enters the last lap far
ahead of it's nearest competitor, hav-
ing scored POS points in the twenty
six events now finished. Sweden APP
parently has cinchcd second place,
for she now has 93 points against 81
for Finland and probably Will be able
to hold her own today.
England landed fourth place with
a. points. France and Italy were
tied for fifth with 81 each. South
Africa was in sixth place with
"a; Canada, 10: Denmark, o; Esthonia,
s: New Zealand. 5; Norway, Belgium.

burg, l.
More records were smashed in the
events held yesterday. Hannes koh-
| lemainen, the Finnish-American, cut
down the time for the marathon by
finishing the course in 2>nours. 81
minutes, So 4-5 seconds despite/ a
driving rain that fell throughout the
! journey. He ran for Finland because
of the ruling that prevents man
| switching from one country to
another. Kohlemainen had prevl-
ously competed in an Olympiad as
| Finn.
The American sprinters broke the
| record for the 400-meter relay race,
| finishing in AZ 1-5 seconds, two-ffths
of a second better than the time
made by the German team at Stock
| holm in 1912.

ICHIYA KUMAGAE WON'T
PLAY IN TITLE EVENTS
Popular Japanese Tennis Star Out
of National Championships
This Year.

One figure familiar to tennis
crowds will be missing from tn"
courts of the West Side Tennis Club
when the national championship be-
gins on August 80, for lchiya kum-
agae is not entered. He left for Ant
werp in July to take part in the ten
mis- events of the Olympic games
which were scheduled to begin Aug
ust is.
Kumagae's skill and his attractive
personality have made him popular
with the galleries, who will regret
his absence, even though they wish
him luck abroad.
Kumagae and his friend, Seiichiro
Kashio, have not forgotten the cham
pionship, however. for in a letter to
Julian S. Myrick, president OF the
United States Lawn Tennis Assocla-
tion. they say how sorry they are
not to be able to play on both sides
of the Atlantic at almost the same
time. Written from Ostend, where
they were playing in tournament to
get practice before the Olympic
games, they stated that the local
entry was not of high class. but that
much keener competition was antici-
pated at Antwerp.

Athletic Club Play
ers, Attention!

Within the next six weeks or
so many athletic clubs and or
ganizations will make plans for
the fall and winter in football
and basketball. The Times
wishes to cooperate as much
as possible with the clubs and
organizations fostering these
sports. Managers of football
and basketball teams are asked
to send in the names of their
organizations, the names of the
managers and their addresses,
along with the average in
weight so that the teams can
be listed. Later in the year
a meeting will be called at The
Washington Times for the pur-
pose of organizing football as
we'll as a basketball leagues if
there is sufficient demand here
in the city.

who played a guard on the team of
the Somervillc. Mass. High School,
has had the most experience of the
trio. and has made the best impress
sion. There are a dozen or more
youths who weigh between 40 and
IS5 pounds. who will try for line
positions, and most of these have had
some playing experience on minor
teams
Much interest is taken in the work
of Kanakanui. full-booded Ha-
waiian, weighing 1s6 pounds and OF
hnc proportions. He has gone into
football with great enthusiasm and
is trying for the tackle position.
Al PROMISING TACKLE.
Another tackle candidate of promise
is Dc Wolf from the Hart. Mich,
High School. He weighs 1S7 pounds.
Dahlgren. 1T5 pounds. comes from
MercersburS Academy, a nursery of
fine athletes, which developed "Babe"
Brown. the best line man the Naval
Academy ever had.
other promising line candidates OF
about the same weight arc: Dick
inson. Troy High School; Gaines,
Marion, Ala. Institute, and Hoffman,
Yonkers High School.
The candidates with college exper-
fence are both backs and both light,
but stocky youths, weighing around
l45 pounds. Dickins played quarter
at the University OF Iowa, and looks
like a good man. while Barchet was a
half at Johns Hopkins, and is stout
and a hard worker.
GOOD FOR BACKFIELD.
Three former preparatory school
players have shown special promise
as backfeld candidates They arc
Vieveg. from Elmira High School;
Ransom. from Southern High School.
of Philadelphia, and Shanklin, from
Lexington, KY, High School. All of
these are strongly built and active
youths. Nieveg and Ransom have
made particularly good impressions.
Nievcg weighs 1I5 pounds, and
Ransom is two pounds heavier. The
latter has had much experience In
athletics, being good boxer and
baseball player as well as a football
player.
One Of the lighter backheld candi-
dates, but who comes to the Naval
Academy with big reputation, is
Noyes, from the New York Military
Academy. He has done good work in
many branches of athletics, including
football, baseball, basketball, track
and wrestling, and has made a good
Impression at the Academy so far as
he has been able to engage in the
sports.
Upon the whole, the promise OF the
new class is greater than that OF
any entering body for some years. The
coaches will have a good opportunity
OF getting their measure during the
next thirty days, and will be able to
pick those OF value to the main squad
by September 20, when the old play

have crept forward and passed the

Charlie Reidpath, the Syracuse col
Iegian triumphed in the 40O-meter.
At Antwerp that wonderful Oxford

A G. Hill. of the Polytechnic Har-
riers, Englands greatest distance
runner today, was the victor, running
Eby off his feet.
BREAKS LONG STRING.
Counting Thomson a Canadian--as
ne is officially at Antwerp-the Dart
mouth hurdler's victory in the 10
meter hurdles gives Uncle Sam his
first defeat in this event since the
Olympiad at Athens in 1896. Curtis
took the crown at Athens, to be fol-
lowed by Kraenzlein at Paris; Schulz
at ST. Louis; Leavitt at Athens in
1906; Forrest Smithson at London in

In those two gruelling all-around

forced to bow before a conqueror,
though Brutus Hamilton made a won
derful showing in the latter event.
Where Jim Thorpe, the Carlisle In
dian, won both events in Stockholm,

However, Uncle Sam will hardly

certainty that Uncle Sam will be in
