Hardest Game of Season
Here With Fall River
KERR ALSO ON SIDE LINES

The American League soccer match
between Philadelphia Field Club and
Fall River is the feature of the local
card this afternoon. The game will
be played at Cahill Field. Twenty
ninth and Cambria streets. Another
match of interest is friendly contest
between the liibs and WOltcndCn- Shore
at T"nth and Butler streets.
Fall River gave Philadelphia its
closest match of the year several weeks
ago. Jimmy Waldcr's team won, but
had hard time in doing so. The style
of the New England forwards worried
the Philadelphia defenders repeatedly
and many neutral observers declared
Fall River deserved to win on the days
play.
Manager Waldcr. for the first time
this season. is not bit optimistic over
the outcome of the engagement. Kerr,
the regular goalkccpcr, Is out of the
game, having been taken i'll during last
Sundays contest with the Fnlcos. and
Porter. the star forward, was injured
IN Yesterdays practice. Porter Is a
valuable man. and his absence will
weaken the front line considerably.
The visitors have n dashing, bang

born soccer players. Tho combination

apparent Of the PhilS' success is less
apparent in the bruiSing offensive Of

LEONARD-BR|TTON
NOT BARRED IN n. ].
Reports Of Taboo on Their
Match at Newark Denied
by Commission
BENNY HERE ON DEC. 20
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE


SoMEBODY pulled what is familiarly
- known MS "boner." It isn't true
that n Jack Britton- Benny Leonard
bout is tabooed in the State of New
Jersey.
Several days ago a scandal" story
came out from Newark to the effect
that the New Jersey State Boxing Com
mission had refused to o. X. a. twelve
rounder between the welterweight title
holder and the champion of the light
weights-that such a bout, II staged,
would have to be held some other place.
Jersey didn't want the bout, and that
was that.
Leonard became awfully grieved-
rather peeved. SO did Britton. Did
some one have the idea that the bout
wouldn't be as should? Was there
any feeling that the match would not
be up and above board? Those ques-
tions and others evidently worried the
respective champions-that their hon
esty should be doubted-and it looked
as If they would go "up in arms
against the Jersey body.
However. with statement issued
yesterday by Robert II. Doherty, chair
man of the New Jersey State Athletic
Commission. everything now is lovely
Leonard and Britton have been exon
Grated, and indications at the present
time point to a bout between them in
the near future.
Here's the official statement by Chair
man Doherty:
Erroneous reports have been circu-
uated to tho effect that Benny Leonard;
lightweight champion OF the world. and
Jack Britton. welterweight champion of
the world. would not be allowed TO- boy
order OF this commission barring the
bout. This is false in every particular.
concerned Leonard and Britton have not
been barred In this state.
Leonard and Britton bout could rot be
held in the Newark Armory until the
yod fSpps, 'nS S.oTatn Ssicc pro-
lection TO the fans who would be at
traGted TO this bout We wsnt ,s,,oS no scenes mes
I Leonard-KGnsas bout promoted by these
same men,
The reason that the champions are
agreeing to box for n promoter in Jer-
scy rather than in New York, where n
decision is given and where Leonard
would have chance of winning the
welterweight title from Britton. is that
both men. it is said. are Mt odds with
Tex Rickard, of the Garden. Accord
ing to inside information both Britton
and Leonard have threatened never to
box at the Madison Square Garden.
the major arena in New York City.
until a change has been made in the
management.
The next time Leonard is to answer
the tingle of the gong will be in Phila-
delphin. He is to appear in an eight
round contest at the Ice Palace, and
Tim Droney, the rugged Lancastrian.
has been signed to meet the title
holder.
Droney recently came out with a
statement that number of top notch
lightweights had refused to meet him
at 135 pounds, at = o'clock, then Tim
othy issued def to Leonard at catch
weights and. after a lot of dickering
by George Pawling, he finally clinched
the contest for the night of Decem-
Der 20.
