TEDDY LEONARD AMBITIOUS.
Resort Lad Eager For Crack At Cham
pion Jimmy Wilde.

Teddy Leonard, the young Atlantic
City fyweight sensation, is eager for
a crack at the title held by Jimmy
Wilde, of England, recognized as the
Worlds champion. Leonard is willing
to meet any fyweight in the country.
when | say hyweights mean of
the 112 pound variety, not the ones
that weigh 11S and in some cases 100
pounds, masquerading as flyweights".
Leonard within the last several years
has been one of the leading lights am
ong the little fellows in his class. But
the hardest thing of all is for Leonard
to obtain matches. All the boys his
weight will not have anything to do
with him and therefore he has to go
out of his class to get work in the
ring. Teddy has a corking good de-
Tense, a powerful hitting right hand
cross, a wonderful left hook and clev-
erness that resembles that of light
weight champion. In his last time out
Teddy knocked out Johnny Richie in
two rounds, placing himself in the
ranks of the foremost fiyweights.
Leonard is ready at any time to meet
anyone his weight. This goes for any
legitimate fiyweight in the game, and
Jimmy Wilde, the worlds champion,
preferred, was Leonard's managers

BOY SCOUT NEWS.

Troop rive, boy oCOulS, have iiSue'
fully earned the title of the Fighting
Fifth, which vas the nickname given
them on Wednesday night, when they
again reported for forest fire duty to
Cardiff. This is the third time in two
months that the troop has fought for
est fires. At 1880, Scoutmaster Ellen
berg, who is indirectly connected with
the forest conservation, returned from
Lily Lake Park, where he had taken
a load of cots for Troop Seven, who
were on an overnight hike, was called
upon for help and Immediately sent
out a mobilization call.
The scouts responded in double
quick time with axes, ropes, shovels,
first-aid kits and canteens. They were
piled in machines and rushed to the
scene of the conflagration. Upon arriv-
ing they were assigned to a strip Of
badly-blaZing brush which was threat
ening the home of Mrs. Ross. She
was fighting the fire assisted by her
two children, aged six and eight. After
much hard work and several narrow
escapes they managed to quench the
fire in this direction.
The boys fought till 4.30 in the
morning, when they were called off by
their officers. While the fire was not
entirely out, it was left only smolder-
ing and burning in the low under
brush. The boys reached home tired
out at 5 O'Clock. They were led by
S~coutmaster Ellenberg and his able
assistant, Mr.. George Metz. Special
credit is due the following scouts, who
behaved most nobly and went to the
rescue of the others who were cut off,
with axes and shovels: Gilbert Lake,
Oliver Jones, Ross Brown, Ea1l Brown.
lThe>-~edath~A
|~Tr0op Five is having a drive for
funds to secure some government tents
for their camp at Leeds Point this
summer. Every two and a half dollars
donated will give them a tent from the
government arsenals. One dollar and
a half will buy a much-needed cot. If
you are willing to help out the boys
who always stand ready to help you
send a small donation to Scoutmaster
Ellenberg. A list of contributors will
be published in these columns next
week.

fore but said that he was so scared

A APPEAL.

God give us strength each day,
For the grief we have to bear;
For a Mothers heart goes out to Thee,
For the son we thought so fair.
He gave his life that we might live,
In a land that was free from strife;
But oh! it is hard for a Mother
To bear the sacrifice.
He had such high intentions,
For a moral, upright life,
And a nobler thing there couldn't be
But oh! dear God! just thing of me.
