LEONARD KNOCKS
OUT CHAS, WHITE
Great and Bitter Lightweight
Championship Fight at Ben
ton HarbOr.
TAKES COUNT IN NINTH
Leonard Finds Opening After Taking
Much Punishment-Ten Thousand
People damned into Arena to
Witness the Contest.

Benton Harbor, Mich, July G.
Benny Leonard knocked out Charlie
White in the ninth round of great
ana bitter lightweight championship
battle here. The battle was finished
amid tremendous excitement and .eme
when it looked as though White was
going to stick the route and grab off
a newspaper decision.
A short right to the chin which
Leonard had been trying to land all
through the fight started Charlie on
his way. Benny saw instantly that
his man was badly stung. He rained
blows from both mittS to the White
Jaw and punched him down four times
before Charlie had enough and was
compelled to stay on the canvas.
White Completely Out.
White, dazed by the punishment, re-
fused to take count. The referee
started four counts and did not count
over four until the final Touchdown,
Charlie had to be carried to his cor
ner. He was completely out and tum-
bled to the floor once after his sec
onds had picked him up.
White made a game fight and did
splendidly until that chin smash
ruined his chance. White had three
rounds and Leonard two out of the
first eight.
In the fourth, fifth and sixth rounds
all of which went to White, Leonard
was tired and did lot of stalling.
White would have been wise to
have crowded Benny harder at that
stage Of the game.
Driven Through Ropes.
Leonard knocked against and par
TALLY through the ropes by "A left
hook in the fifth round, fell outside
the ring. He was not knocked down
He tripped over the ropes. The
White corner claimed a Touchdown
1t was the first time White was ever
knocked over for ten count.
1t was his sixth try and probably his
last at the lightweight title
Ten thousand people were jammet
into the safety first arena. Prom oter
Fitzsimmons said the gate receipts
would run between $4,000 and $50
900.

The Presidency is an Office which
belongs to the people and
the people are entitled to know what
men are being urged as the
party nominee and they are
.entitIed to know this in advance.
Members OF the national conNen'
ton are delegates, not representa-

the mind of the people who send them.
In order that they may surely do this
il seems to me eminently proper that
people should instruct their delegates
with respect to both nominatio nand

II am not in accord with the sus.
gestion that the people shall take no
part in the campaign and that un
pledged delegates to the national con
ventio nshould be left perfectly free
to make such a nomination and write
such a platform as political expedi
ency on the plans of the party lead
ers at the time may dictate. I would
be distinctly sorry to see our party
take such a backward step
