The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-01-17

Coming close on the heels of his business-like disposal of Ritchie Mitchell and the squeching of the championship aspirations of the Mill waulzee gamSter, Champion Benny Leonard has confided to friends that 1921 is likely to be his last year in the fighting game. In other words Leonard has deCTared his intentions weight division beTOre next Christ mas Day. By that time he hopes to hang up his gloves for the last time.
 About the only contender Of note left for Leonard to tackle is Lew Tender. For months past there has been a lot of haSSling between the rival managers over the money di- vision. Leonard maintains if Tender is in earnest and wants a fight he should waive his money claims and do what every other aSpirant to the championship has done-accept any fair proposition or take what one can get.
 Leonard proudly calls attention to the fact that his share of the money in his match with Freddie Welch from whom he wreSted the titular crown was $f ,000, while the share of the defeated champion was approM- mately 12,OOO. In view of this Leon- ards stand appears to be fair.
 Months ago negotiations for go between Leonard and Tendler in Mad isOn Square Garden fell through as a result of the eXOrbitant and un- reasonable demands of Tenders man. ager, who is cIamoaing for practically an even split in the money This stand is ridiculous to those in close touch with the sport, as Leonard as the champion, has a right to dictate on the money issue.
 Leonard without doubt is one of the greatest champions that has worn the crown. He has been fighting for eight years and has kept at business. Now a go with Tender would be a fitting climax to his brilliant ring career before his threatened retire. ment at the end of this year Pugilis- tic fans are hopeful terms will he agreed to and the two boxers settle the issue in the ring.
 There is no doubt that Leonard displayed his real goods in his recent
 bout with Mitchell. "A champion al. | ways is more or less opposed by l cliques of knockers and croal>ers Leonard discounted befC.e his deci- | sive victory over the Milwaukee lad
 That Leonard is a king boxer was | displayed in the recent bout wheI

Boxing News
 NA. :, And Gossip
Expect Bogasla to Win.
By G. c. Hawman

Johnny Griffiths of Akron, O., who meets Louie Bogash, the crack welter of this city in a six round bout in Phil1y tonight, is veteran who has
 met every welter of note and most of the middleweights. Louie ought to win the decision but Griffiths is tough enough to make him work hard for it, having met Britton three
 or four times and managed to hold him for a draw once. Griihths has
 been boxing for eight years and a few years ago was one of the strongest
 contenders for tho crown of Jack
 Britton. Bogash will not add anoth- or Kayo to his record tonight, but his aGgressiveness and speed ought to win him the decision by good margin ssJt Old-time fight fans in this state < who have learned Of the injury of
 Austin Rice, the veteran lightweight, :. who is now in a very serious condi- lion at the New London Hospital,
 bouts they have witnessed between Rice and the famous boxers of twen- fv years ago and the one in particu- lar with Terry McGovern.
 V From accounts of that bout and from the gossip oS old-ti1ne follow CTS of the boxing ring, Rice put one - of the greatest bouts against Terrible
 Terry that the latter engaged in dur ! ing his career. Rice was in his prime about twenty-tyo years ago. and 1t \ was then that he. engaged in the bat tie which resulted in defeat for the :. sounectfcut lad after fourteen round S < which contained some Of the hard est fighting that was ever witnessed in Brooklyn.

PRICE DEPRESSION NOT DIS
COURAGING HEWITT PRODU GERS

There is always something to be
thankful for said an Ardmore oil
operator last night "If we viii only
look for it. The thing we have to be
gratoll fer is that the price depres-
sion came after Hewitt had been pro-
ducng for year and Il half and prac-
tically every lease in the field had
produced enough oil TO pay for itself.
In the early days Of Heahton oil
'cpcned ut Sl.0j but it quickly declined
II 30c and the runs were prorated at
that. The slump came before the prop
or,l,s had produced enough oil 10
pay for themselves. The operators were
using borrowed money and then in
order to protect themselves they had
& b1ild steel storage and only those
with extra gGdl credits could stay in
the game.
But with Hewitt il has been diff
f,rent Oil held the price of $3.50
aud fun runs were made until the
operators were in good shape and
could carry their properties without
financial burden.
While the price has been reduced
on oil other prices are coming down
and the chances seem favorable for
one hundred per cent runs TO be re-
sumed ami there Is no occasion for
encouragement in the local oil situa-
ton"

WILL EXPLAIN WHY
COMPASS POINTS TO
NORTHEAST HERE

A great many people depend on a
pocket compass to keep from getting
lost when out away from familiar sN-
roundings, and great many people
have realized, after wandering for
hours in what they supposed was the
right direction, that something was
wrong. AS u rule tne compass is
blamed when it is the fault OF the
person using it. In the first place
the compass does not point north bsrt
in n northerly direction, and unless
the user knows how many degrees Off
from true north II does point. trouble
is likely to ensue.
The explanation OF the variation of
the compass will be given at the Scout
Leaders Training course at the Cham
Der of Commerce Donigint at 7:3Q
o'clock and all the men interested in
scouting are urged to be there.
The program for tonight is:
7:3O-Scout games.
S:0O-Openlng, patrol formation.
