Benny Leonard
 Outpoinfs Ward

New York, November 2s.-Benny Leonard, lightweight boxing cham pion. tonight outpointed George Ward Elizabeth, N. J.. in a siX-round exhibition bout in Madison Square garden. according to majority of sport writers at the ringside. The contest was the feature of show for charity.
 Leonard loafed through the first four rounds, but speeded things up in the fifth and sixth. He clipped Ward on the chin with hard right in the fifth and staggered the ter sey boy. The champion then apolo- gized and allowed his opponent to recuperate from the effects of the blow before resuming the aggressive.
 In the sixth Leonard hammered Ward with a wide variety of blows. Ward. though slow and apparently afraid to take the aggressive, wort ried the champion a bit with his long reaching right swings.

BIRMINGHAM A. C. BOXING TOURNEY ON DECEMBER 9|
City Amateur Mitt Tourna- ment to Decide B. A. c.
 Representatives

Amateur boxing in Birmingham bids fair to come back to life again on Friday night, December g. at the B. A. C. On this night the Athletic club will hold a city amateur tourna- ment. This tournament Is being held to get the boys together again and to get up interest in amateur box ing in the city. Birmingham has a large number of good boys who are getting to be good boxers, and still a larger number that would like to have chance to be good boxers, and it Is thought by officials of the club that this tourney will be the thing to get everypody to boxing again.
 In February or March the Junior National American Amateur union championship will be held at the B. A. c. As it Is junior affair, no one who has held national cham pionship will be allowed to enter, but, nevertheless. some of the best amateurs in the country will be here to get a crack at the laurels. Bir- mingham does not want its boxers to be bit behind those of other cities of the country so that Is the big req son for the city tourney.
 Many Local Boys.
 Birmingham has some amateurs at all weights who will hold their own with any of the boxers hailing from other towns. Among the best the city possesses Is Speedy" Newman, who is the present holder of the southern amateur championship. This ~I~ erN Tn a local tournament, but he should >also give some of the out-of-town boys trouble in the national tourney. He weighs 1855 and generally depends upon a terrific southpaw wallop to get his man out of the way With. Newman is not only hard hitter, but he is also a sly individual when it comes to getting out of the way of punches, so he is sure to give all corners some trouble in both tour neys.
 The man who will probably be able to give Newman the most trouble of anyone in the whole tourney is .Irish" Charley McElwane. McEl- wane has been boxing off and on at the club for the past two years, and, in each of his battles, he has always shown a big improvement over his last bout. He is a slugger, but he depends a great deal on his boxing skill, which he has developed rapidly and there are very few amateurs his size that can outbox him. Mc- Elwane was runner up in the South ern Amateur Athletic union tourney, and is probably the only amateur in Birmingham to go down twice before Frank Chestain's powerful right and then come back and win the bout.
 Bowden In Middleweight
 Tn the middleweight division Bob Bowden, the lanky boy from Central High school, seems to be about the best man in his class in the tourney. Bowden boxed in the southern tour ney, and, while unable to win any of the first honors, he put up a great battle and gave his opponents some tough - competition Bowden has learned more about using his mltts since the big tourneE and he should go mighty good in both the city ana the national journeys.
 Jack McGinty, who is comparative ly a newcomer in the local ring. should furnish Bowden some real

MEXICAN CABINET
 MEMBER RESIGNS
By Associated Press

Mexico City. November 29.-The resignation of Secretary of Agricul- ture Villereel, which 1t is considered President Obregon undoubtedly will accept, is the forerunner of several changes in the Mexican cabinet, ac- cording to a number of local news papers today. which add, however, that the government agrarian policy will remain unchanged.
 Washington, November 29.-Those in close touch here with Mexican af- fairs were inclined today to min imize the effect of the designation of Minister of Agriculture Villereel. The belief was expressed that he had been placed in a position to incur the enmity of large number of persons through the operation of the new agrarian laws. But 1t was doubted that his resignation had any particular significance with regard to the internal politics of Mexico.
