DOUBLE CHAMPS
ARE RARE; BEN
HASA CHANCE
However, Leonard Is Not Taking
Such a Hazard In Matter
of Weight.

Michigan City. Ind, June 10
Double champions are rare birds.
They happen along once IN
long. long time.
If Benny Leonard beats Jack
Britton June 26 in New York he
becomes the first light and welter
weight champion of boxing history.
No other lightweight king ever
legitimately held the double dia-
dem.
Johnny Buff now holds both the
NY and bantam crowns.
Bob FitZsimmons-Rub Bob
was one OF the wonders of the prize
ring.
AT one time Fitz held three titles
middle, light heavy and heavy
weight.
When Ruby Bob knocked out
James J. Corbett on St. Patrick's
day, 1897. he was outweighed Is
pounds. He scaled $50, Corbett
1S5.
Joe Wolcott was another ring
Freak. During his reign as wei
Ter he fought heavyweights and
licked them. They called Joe the
Giant Killer"
In 1900 and 1901 Wolcott scored
Knockout over Joe Choynski IN
seven rounds and beat George Gard
aer in 20. At that time Choynskl
mad to his credit a 20sround draw
With Jeffries and had held Sharkey
even for eight rounds.
But giving away weight is con-
sdered poor business by present
day boxers.

In the sixth they touched Radlon

The Islanders garnered II hits

and Belz got triples and McEwan
boosted the ball over the center

From the first inning on, there
was hardly a doubt of how mat

ers On May 10th

Growers of tobacco in Kentuc-
ky, Indiana and Ohio, who are
members of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Associa-
ton, will receive May 20 another
payment of approximately So
100000 ON their crops which they
delivered to receiving plants of
the association, the second pay
ment to be the same amount as
the first, according to the deci-
sion of the board of directors of
the association, in session at the
offices in Lexington Wednesday.
The manner of the delivery of
the checks to the growers is lett
to the director Of each district,
to whom all the checks for grow
ers in his district will be sent.
1t is expected to make Satur-
day, May 20, a day of jollifcation
in the district, with speeches at
public meetings in most cases,
followed by the delivery of ths
checks to the growers.
These details however, are left
to the discretion of the director
i'll each district and no uniform
method of delivery has yet been
agreed upon. Each director will
announce to the county papers
the time and method of distribu-
ton to be followed in his district.
After thorough discussion of
the outlook, with a review Of
sales already made and some
others in immediate prospect, the
directors were told that they
could assure their constituents
that those who had joined the
ASSOCIATION would receive more
money per pound for their tobac-
co than those who refused to
join, besides paying expenses and
the payments on the warehouses
which are to be decided to the as
sociation by June IS.
1t is expected that the drive for
new members will be started on
the day of the second distribution

ley district 100 per cent strong.
