Winner of Bout Thurs
day Night Likely To Be
Matched With Buff

The boxing spotlight will again be
turned on the bantamwcight division
this week when Pete Herman, who has
twice held and lost the worlds cham
pionship at this weight, meets Midget
Smith, the blue-eyed, blond-haired
youngster, who recently boxed furi~
GUS draw with Joe Lynch, another boy
who climbed to the top only to be
bumped off.
Herman and Smith meet at Madison
Square Garden next Thursday night
in a bout which is scheduled to 60
fifteen rounds. 1t should be one Of
the best battles Of the season, as the
winner can feel sure of being matched
with Johnny Buff, present holder OF
the title.
Smith and Herman will be expected
to make 118 pounds at 2 p. m. on the
day Of the fight. The main affair will
be preceded by three eight-rounders.
which will see Gene Tunney, pride Of
Greenwich Village, exchanging wallops
with Eddie O'Hare; Dave Rosenberg
against Jimmy Darcy, and Al Reich VS..
Jack Renau!t, the latter being a for
mer training partner Of Champion
Jack Dempsey.
Tex Rickard changed the regular
boxing night at the Garden from Fri
day to Thursday in order to permit
Pete Herman to get back to his home
in New Orleans for the holidays. The
bout marks the first meeting Of Her
man and Smith and the result will be
awaited with more than the usual
amount Of interest.
Chance to Set New Record
For Herman a victory might pave
the way for the realization OF pet
ambition he has to establish new
record in the history of the prize ring.
This would be accomplished If he could
recover his twice lost title for the
third time. Such thing has never
| before happened in the annals Of box
! ing.
Pete says he is in better shape now
than ever before in his career and this
sounds entirely likely in view of the
way in which he disposed Of Packy

, Club in Brooklyn the week before last
The ex-champ put Packy out of the

There will be featherweight festival

The following article, taken from 3

Lenglen's tennis plans for next year:
What is to be the future of Sill
zanne Lenglen? That is the cues
tion which the whole lawn tennis
world is discussing to-day. Now
that the French Lawn Tennis FEEDER
alton has exonerated the lady cham
pion from blame in regard to her
American tour, will she Immediately
return to active competitive play?
Many have thought she will.
THE Westminster Gazette" can
now authoritatively answer these
questions. II am still in the hands
of the doctors," writes Mile. Lene-
len to the lawn tennis correspondent
of this journal. Cali the doctors
agree that cannot play till at least
March or April.
II have heart disturbance which
neds long rest; no exercise as vio-
lent as tennis. Before going over to
America | had whooping cough. 1t
still troubles me-"
The fact that the lady champion
intends to play at Wimbledon next
summer will be welcomed by the gen.
erar public.
"1 will be very glad to tell you,'
she writes, chat am looking for
ward to play at Wimbledon. I hope
by that time l will be all right. But
| will not be able to play in the
cause I have to start again very
carefully-under doctors control.
II have hypertrophy of the heart.
l am very upset about not playing
for so long; but / would not have
strength enough to do so even if I
were allowed"
Mile. Lenglen left Paris on Satur-
day for Nice, where she will spend

Greenwich Village Pitcher
Appears Future Yankee Star
New York Boy Makes
Fine Record i'm First
Year With Bridgeport

Southpaw pitching-that is, the lack
Of twas one Of Miller Huggins's many
troubles the past season. All during
this summers campaign his left
handed hurting department consisted Of
Harry Harper And Harry and his we'll
known southpaw drops could not be
prescribed by doc" Hug for several
months, as from May to September
Harper was out with a fraatured hand
as the result Of stopping a hot smash
one day in Detroit. Business is now
perking up bit for Miller In the way
of left-handers, for Lefty" O'Doul has
been recalled from the Coast, and then
there is Lefty" Leopard.
Probably you don't know about Edgar
Leopard, which is not surprising, since
it happens that he is New York boy,
born and raised in the Greenwich VII
lage section of this town and living for
many OF his twenty-onc years at 73
Charlton Street.
Leopard pitched on a number of ANA
teur and semi-pro teams around Man
haitian, but his real reputation was
made with the Egberts, well-known
sandlot aggregation of Jersey City.
He was picked up little over year
ago by Paul Kritchell. the Yankee
scout, and taken South last spring.
During the first weeks of training
Leopard took things easily and didn't
show much. One day, however, he told
Huggins he was ready to work, and he
was called in to finish game against
the Shreveport Club, and in four in
nings he famed seven and allowed only
one or two hits.
Wins First League Game
After the game Huggins told one Of
the scribcs that if the kid had thcn
only one years minor league expert
ence under his cap the Yankees would
be compelled to carry the boy. TIE
fanks were certainly hard up at the
time for left-handers, but Leopard was
sent to Bridgeport, of the Eastern
League, for development.
And there he proceeded to live up to
the high expectations of the Yankee
leader. In his very first professional
game, working against Waterbury,
Leopard emerged victor by score of
to !. incidentally, he made two hits
and drove in four runs by his indi-
vidual stick work.

WEST POINT, y. Y. Dec. 17.-Army

Conditions in this sport at the NaNal

an army officer rowing would be merely
an accomplishment Purely as sport
its expense and the time required for
its development would place it beyond
