Leonard And
 Britton Coll Raw Deal''
By DAVIS J. WALSH,
I. N. S. Sports Editor.

New York, June 27-The gentle art of fisticuffs, New York State modeb received a body blow more painful than Jack Britton received last nighk and was fouled more heinously tha0 Jack Britton was fou1ed when he was smacked with a left hook by Benny Leonard as he kneIt on one knee neaR the end of the thirteenth round. AE- ready in something of a precarIoVs state, the game in New York today is having the finger of suspicion pointing at it from all quarters. x
 Stories are being recalled of the 1n~ famous Gans-Britt bout in CallfornTa some fifteen years ago an affa1r that came to a summary conclusion under circumstances strikingly similar t9 last nights entertainment. on tnat occasion, Britt lost on foul by hlt= ting Cans as he rested on one kneG S
 The inference is being made Shy fans that Leonard and BrittoR prompted by reasons of their own, re@ enacted the Gans-Britt fiasco. I
 This writer makes no such insinpA- tion. Having no occult gift, he db sS not know what was in Leonard's mind as he pushed past Referee Pal sy Haley as the latter was starting ihis count and cuffed Britton on the side of the head with a left hook. For the same reason, the writer canhef account for the actions of one ! Of LeOudEu udHul0IS, "AO JuIllpSo ItiIQ the ring almost immediately thus making disqualification certain. MnSh of that business was beyond all npr- nal understanding. IA
 Lively Post-Mortem. gS
 For instance, if Leonard was deterE mined to lose, it was not necessa EY to gain his point by fouling. He was a badly worsted fighter at that stage of the proceedings anyhow.
 If Leonard was determined to win, he ha not do it by seeking a gentleman who was in no legal position to be socked. Leonard is far too wise to ring lore to commit a faux pass of that kind although many of his friends claimed that, in reality, Benny lost his head. If so, it was the first time the light weight champion had ever exhibited symptoms of ring hysteria.
 Another and final point made by some of the post-mortem debaters was that Leonard knowing that he was beaten, preferred to lose on {. foul than have an official decision go against him. That theory is not alto gether impossible. r
 However, those who decry the pro- ceedings as a raw piece of business are in the majority. In making their claim, they point to the fact that Leonard was just starting to show end all night; that he had taken the twelfth round by wide margin and that the left hook to the body, on which Britton's claim of foul was dis allowed by Haley had really hurt Jack badly. That, in brief, with Britton on the floor and Haley count- ing, Leonard was all set to win but selected the one method by which he was certain of losing. !
 In view of these insinuations, it might not be a bad idea for the Box ing Commission to put on an investi- gation and either clear or convict the principals. Rumors of this kind should not, for the good of the game. be allowed to roam at large

 Spend Some Money.
 The local club, according to reports, had an extremely profitable season in 1921, the yield being reported at SlO,- 900 to $15,000. How much has been spent for new players to make the Derbs a pennant winning machine: Nix.
 It's a quarter of a century or more since Bridgeport has won a pennant. Fans are tirIng of promises. They want a winner and not be forced to play second fiddle to New Haven and other smaller cities year after year.
 Gene McCann, as manager, Is O. K. If the .iprice" is voted him he can land the players who, added to the present combination, would give Bridgeport a team that would push to the front.
