WHO WILL TAKE LEONARDS PLACE,
 QUESTION BOTHERING FIGHT FANS
LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION MUST SOON RETIRE FROM HIS CLASS AND NO REAL SUCCESSOR IS ON THE HORI- ION.
CHAMPION

Who will take Benny Lenord's place when the lightweight champion retires or steps into the welterWeight class as he is likely to do if he wins the title from lack Britton. Ever since Leonard an- rounced that he was thinking of quitting the ring while he still wore the crown, Billy Gibson, his manager, has been look ing for the man with the best chance to become his successor.
 After trying out several youngsters, Gibson hit upon Benny Valger as the most likely prospect. Valger was a near featherweight when Gibson as stunned the reins over him. Of late Benny has taken on weight In bout with Joe Benj amin at one of the open air clubs several months ago Valger broke his left hand. The long lay-off that resulted has been beneficial to him, enabling him to build up and take on weight that he badly needed in order to cope with his heavier rivals.
 HS d 1CdtllCI NCISll FdlSSI DCdl JOIllI- ny Kilbane, Joe Lynch. Andy Clancy, George Clancy, Pete Hartley and Joe Tiplitz among others. Since joi~>ing forces with Gibson he has had but one setback, which was the affair with Benja- min, in which he injured his hand
 Valgcr checked the winning career of another rising lightweight when he took the measure of Johnny Mendelsohn. The latter had beaten Ritchie Mitchell and was looked upon as the best pros pect in the middle west until Valger made a show of him in a bout in Mil waukee
 Charley White, the Chicago thumper, was aother of Valger's victims The man who has faced more champions than any other lightweight now in the ring WIS completely baffled by Valger's speed.
 Pal Moran ,who had established a big reputation down in New Orleans, where he had boxed draws with Johnny Dundee and Eddie Fitzsirn1nins and had beaten Charley White, was easy for Valger, who won IA of the Is rounds Over in Philadelphia, Rocky Kansas ran second to Valger, although the Buffalo italian had very big advantage in the weight.
 Valger knows more about the scier- fife side of boxing than any lightweight with the exception of the champion All he lacks is the weight necessary to make him effective against the heavier mer that make up the lightweight division
 Valger's rivals among the younger sci are far from being numerous Just at present Sailor Friedman, of Chicago, is regarded as a prospect and Lew Tender of Philadelphia, is another who would claim the title if Leonard were to re- tire undefeated. Judging by the results of recent bouts between them Tendler and Friedman are about equal in ability

SMITH WILLING TO FIGHT CHAMPION
 JUST FOR GLORY
Wants Crack at Johnny Wilson for Chance at Title
 Only.

Jeff Smiths enterprising manager challenge to Johnny Wilson. He is circulating samples of a contract in which he undertakes to let Smith box Wilson without receiving so much as a dollar for his services. He says that any promoter able to land Wilson can get Smith without cost.
 He also directs similarly worded challenges to Mike Gibbons, Mike McTigue and Mike O'Dowd. Jeff wants to box any or all of the three Mikes with the understanding that if he does not win the decision he is not 10 receive compensation for his services.
 Smiths first offer sounds reason able enough, but the second throws doubt on his sincerity. Smith cant beat O'Dowd, as he proved i'll the Garden last winter He can't beat the veteran Gibbons, and whether he can beat McTigue is extremely doubtful, so that his talk of fighting them for nothing in case he loses indicates that he is merely advertising.
 But boxing Champion Johnny Will son for nothing except the shot at the title is perfectly reasonable proposi- ton. It IS surprising that more of the contenders do not come out with the same kind of an offer in view of inc circumstances.
 Here is Wilson, to all appearances the easiest kind of a mark for any middleWeight who can fight at all, holding the title because no promoter can afford to grant his demands In the hands of more popular boxer the title would be worth a fortune. It looks like a good business proposi- ton for either McTigue, Gibbons or Smith to help the promoter out in order to make a match possible
 Opponents of Dempsey and Leon ard cannot be blamed for trying to get as large losers end as possible, but if Wilson is so soft his rivals ought to be glad to make any con cession to meet him. But perhaps Wilson's rivals think more of his prowess than the general run of fans da.

ZBYSZKO DEFENDS WRESTLING TITLE Wins Match With Lewis in Garden, Taking Two Out of Three
 Falls.

CAN LICK
 JACK DEMPSEY, IS
 OPINION OF WILLS
Giant Negro, Knocked Out By Plas, terer, Testiies to His
 Punch.

Harry Wills, the giant negro who knocked out Fulton almost as easily as Dempsey did, thinks very we'll of the plastcrer That boy Fulton could beat Dempsey just like break ing sticks, and he could beat me, too, if ever he got into his head that he had something on us. He's got enough stua to lick any heavyweight there ever was, but he just can't show it when he knows the other fellow is tough" said Wills recently when dis cussing Fulton.
 Wills was basing his opinion a great dea lon Fulton's performance in stopping Langford. Wills and Lang ford are bitter enemies, but Wills is fairminded enough to recognize and admire Sam's ability. Wills says that when Langford was right he was as good a fighter as ever lived
 Langford was far from being at his best when Fulton met him nearly five years ago, but he was a mighty dan gerous man. He seemed to be the last fighter in the world that the aint-hearted Fulton would face with any degree of confidence, yet some thing must have made the plasterer feel extra courageous that night, for he fought like a champion and Lang ford never had chance.
 Fulton is not at all popular with the fans and for that reason he is not much of a card except when matched with top notcher Then he draws well enough. If he were matched with either Tom Gibbons or Jess Willard it would be a great attrac- tion
 Fulton stands out as the one man that Willard should face before meet ing Dempsey. They were nearly matched on one occasion several years ago. Willard was sure he could beat Fulton then and he wanted the fight, but 1t never came off, That match might have developed into a good scrap if it had gone through ac- cording to schedule Fulton really believed he had something on Will lard. He got his idea when he boxed him a four-round exhibition back in 1915.

WANTS $l,OOO FOR
 PITCHING } INNINGS
Howley's Silence Enables Johnson to
 Break Into Eastern League.

Carroll Mayon, secretary of the Ponies, IS sorry that Dan HOWley, former Hartford manager, broke his arm last summer, but rather thinks the injury was in the shape of pun ishment on Dan for not passing along to him certain information concerning a pitcher who wanted and still wants $1 ,ooo for pitching ? 2-3 innings for the Springfield club this year.
 The pitcher in question is Arthur Johnson, hailing from Kankakee, H., who is quite an extensive traveller. In fact, in 1920, it was said that John son had his cards printed in this way:
 ARTHUR JOHNSON,
 Travelling Pitcher
 In Johnson's travels in 1920 he stopped off at Rochester and obtained a job with the Syracuse Stars, who took him home. It was planned to use Johnson at once to see if he was as good as he said he was, but he had sore finger or something and his debut was delayed a week.
 A Wild, Wild Man.
 Finally Johnson was ready to do something besides draw his salary and on Saturday, June 1o, he was started against Dick Hoblitzeps Ak ron team The Numatics didn't hit Arthur very hard, because they didn't get the chance He vanished from the premises in the second inning with no one defunct and with his team we'll in the rear. Naturally it had to be, for during the kankakee mans two-inning term on the rubber he walked six men, hit another and was located for two swats
 The next day Johnson was sent back at the Ohioans and again he was wild and ineffective. Before he was pulled in the first inning he had walked four men and had been touch- ed for four hits
 Dan Enters Picture.
 Where Dan Howley enters into the picture Is this:
 Johnson, after being canned by the Stars, hinted that he was going to join Hartford. The writer is friend of Howley and when he heard John son make this crack wired Dan to lay off Arthur, who doesn't seem to be nearly as good a pitcher as he thinks he is.
 Dan laid off Johnson in 1920 but he never passed along the informa- tion he had on him to anyone else in this circuit and so Johnson got a chance to be a hivver in the Eastern just as he had been in the Interna- tional.
 This is the record Howley knew about:
 Johnson-With Syracuse, 1920. June Io and 2o-Pitched about ! three innings and gave 10 bases or balls and hit one man. Arthur gave only one pass while he was with the Ponies last season, but he only pitched in 2 2-3 innings.
 And his price for pitching these is $I, ,ooo.
 Dan Howley can keep a secret all ! right and possibly his broken arm is ] punishment for keeping it. At least \ II

thought it would not be taken as a token of coWardice or an attempt to detract from the victory of her opponent She had been in America for three days and it is beyond the widest demand to expect her to become Americanized in that short time.
 Let Sporting Life" (London) tell what Europeans thought of the incl dent:
 "As we gain more informaton of the dramatc retirement of the Mile Suzanne Lenglen in her match with the American lady champion, Mrs Mallory, it IS impos- sible to overlook the fact that the French girl was not in fit condition to give of her best at such a short interval after landing in the States Her extraordi- nary reception, the frantic manner in which all classes of Americans literally bombarded the distinguished visitor, the little rest she was given, and the fact that she was expected to develop tactics on the court far in advance of anything previously witnessed in the country, all initiated against her success. And, after all, Mile. Suzanne is but a girl, highly strung, temperamentally unftted to be signalled out for a great national well come, and her nervous system failed her. She is not a professional boxer, to whom this sort of thing is part of his life. She IS French girl, with all the characteris- tics of that volatile nation, and that she cracked is not surprising"
