Ienger with this-"Beat Brennan
first"
But Dempsey is now up against
more complications than any
champion has known in a cluster Of
decades.
On the one side, or rather on the
other side, he has a European cham
pion who is seeking combat. This
is a distinctly new kink. as Europe
has had no fighter of Carpenters
caliber since Mitchell's day.
Then. for the first time In twenty
years, the beaten champion desires
a return match. Jeffries. after los
ing to Johnson, was willing to call
IL a war and cease firing. johnson
had to go abroad to escape prison.
But Willard insists unpon another
chance.
The third complication is Harry
Willis. the Black Panther of Louisi-
ana. who by stopping Fred Fulton
suddenly and decisively is in line for
a shot at the title.
Carpenter. willard and Willis
complete a sufficient number of COM
plications for any champion to face
with young Bob Martin slowly and
surely working his way forward.
! Certainly there is enough challeng-
ing material around for Dempsey to
be the busiest champion that ever
| lived whenever he cares TO open his
program ard go to IL.

boxing skill, more weight and rug

which another year or another eigh-

Leaving Dempsey out Of il. a
meeting between Carpenter, cham

Owners Of the Gentlemen's Driv-
ing Park, a half-mile track on Bel
videre avenue opposite Pimlico,
have recently been sounding the
racing commission as to the possi-
oility of getting dates for a spring
meeting. but the commission has
indicated that outside of the four
one-mile tracks licenses would be
granted only to county agricultural
fairs Now it appears that the Driv-

The commission has taken no ac-

ROBERT EDGREN

He fought Leo in New York less
than four months after beating
Welsh. AS the two faced each other
I'll admit that i, for one. wondered
If Benny was up against it. The
colored boy was better built for
fighting-an almost perfect double
for Cans himself. easy and smooth
in action, wide-shouldered,s strong,
quick, and with the easy, gliding
grace of a born boxer. He had
the catlike action so often seen
in black fighters. who seem bred
for the sport. Benny looked a lit
tie clumsy in comparison as they
spared for the first opening.
Benny's PIastered Hair.
Benny Leonard always has his
hair smoothly brushed. and at that
time Gibson boasted that no boxer
had ever been able to "moss" Ben
ny's hair in the ring-not even the
clever Welsh. So the crowd gasped
the first mixup and deliberately
roughed Benny's down-plastered
locks with his open hand, grinning
as he did so. 1t was evidently
meant to get Benny's goat.
1t was Leo's fatal mistake. with
a sudden fare of fury, Benny leaped
at Leo like a wildcat. He swarmed
all over the black champion, beat
ing down his guard and hammer
ing him back to the ropes. Crash
ing blows landed faster than the
eye could follow the flying gloves,
and within a minute, in that first
round. Johnson was helpless, was
beaten down, was counted out. He
never had a chance to start a blow
after he rumpled Benny's hair and
grinned at him.
Leonard boxed many, bouts for va
rious war funds during the war, and
Few for himself. On the night he
Knocked out Welsh he announced
that he intended to volunteer for
army service the, following week.
This he would have done If he
hadn't been instructed a day or two
later by the War Department to re-
port for assignment as boxing in
structor at one of the army camps.
He was sent to Camp Upton, where
he did splendid work and taught
boxing methods to thousands of SOL
diers and officers until the war was
over.
While Leonard has fought, several
good fights since the war, knocking
out among others of note our old
friend Willie Ritchie, former cham
pion and boxing instructor at Camp
Lewis. and fighting no-decision
bouts with Welter Champion Jack
Britton and former weIter Cham
pton Ted Lewis. his most notable
performance has been the recent
Knockout Of Ritchie Mitchell.
Mitchell La Tepnotcher.
There isn't doubt in the world
that Mitchell is topnotch light
weight and would have classed well
among the best of the -oldtimers.
He was the most dangerous of
Benny's rivals. Yet Leonard didn't
play II safe or waste any time
standing on the defensive. He
never does. He went after Mitchell

Intellectual.

In country places where amusement
is not abundant and people depend up
on each for diversion, neighborly
familiarity naturally flourishes, and the
habit of /" running in" to visit friends
may be carried to unpleasant excess.
A family living in North Carolina
found it something of strain upon
their ideas of hospitality to be obliged
every day to entertain a tedious woman
of eighty. The favorite book or the
necessary pieces of work had to be put
aside, in order to shout bits of CONVEX
sation in her ear.
At last the father in desperation
planned to go into a sudden fit of tenn
per in the presence of the obnoxious
caller in the hope of convincing her hat
they were not pleacant people to visit.
Accordingly, one evening. when he re-
turned from business and found the old
lady present as usual, he began to talk
loudly and in an irritated voice. Then
growing more excited. he stamped abous
the room, knocking furniture right and
left, and ended by going out and bang
ing the door after him.
The old lady knitted away through
the confusion, and when the man was
gone she turned to the family, and said
in comforting voice:
u reckon it was mighty lucky was
here, or you'd had to take it. But YOU
needn't be frightened, I'll stay right

The New Salem"

Lincoln spent his early manhood in
the little village of New Salem, Illinois
There he worked as grocery clerk for
Denton Offnutt, Carried the postoffice"
in his hat, whipped the champion of
the Clary's Grove boys, loved and lost
Ann Rutledge, earned the title of "Hon-
est Abe" from his transactions at the
store and became the most popular
mdn in all the surrounding country and
the most welcome of visitors at any
Of the score of log huts of the village
or at any of the outlying farms.
The little village was situated about
twenty miles northwest of Springfield,
in Menard County, and was founded
in 1929 by James Rutledge and John
Cameron. Rutledge, the father Of
Ann, was the keeper of the village inn.
In 1881, at the age of twenty-five, Lin
coin went to New Salem to work in
Offnutt's store. In 1887 he moved
away and almost Immediately the town
began to decline; by 1910 it was en-
tirely deserted in favor of Petersburg,
two miles farther down the Sangamon
River.
But those few years Of Lincoln's
residence were enough to "put Salem
on the map" "The General Assembly
of Illinois has authorized the creation
OF an Old Salem State Park Of sixty-two
acres. 1t is expected that the park and
also an Old Salem museum will be
open to the public this spring. And
1t will be the real Old Salem, too, for
at the command Of the State architect
the old town has risen-not from its
ashes but from its weather-beaten
foundations. The store in which Lin
coin worked, the mill on the Sangamon
River and all the other structures of
the New Salem of Lincoln's day have
been rebuilt.
Besides those humble log huts is a
large frame house of the same period
That house, which will be the State
of Lincoln relics, is the only
one that does not really belong to the
old village; but it is copied from a fine
old residence that shows the best char
acteristics Of the architecture OF Lin
coins day.
