Lightweight Champion Should
Defeat His Opponent
Tonight.
BY CHARLES +. MATHIsoN.

Jack Britton. the SO year old cham
pion of the welterweight class. will de-
fend his title tonight against Benny
Leonard. lightweight champion. IN a
fifteen round bout in the ring OF the
New York Velodrome at 225th street
and Broadway. The club is the open
air arena of the Madison Square Garden
Company, of which Tex Rickard Is the
matchmaker.
The boxers will be weighed this after
noon at 2 o'clock. and Britton will
doubtless scale 146. while Leonard is.ex-
pected to weigh 1873 pounds. : The light
weight champion is ten years younger
than the welter champion. but Is two
inches shorter. In other physical
measurements there is little difference,
Leonard is the harder hitter OF the
pair. and is considerably faster with
hand and foot than the veteran.
Britton Is superior in the matter OF
defensive skill and is better ring
general than the lightweight.
They have met twice In the ring a
ten round. decisionless bout in this city
in 1917 and a six round decisionless
contest in Philadelphia in 1918.
There was little to choose between
them at the close of the bouts. the
older man holding his own and giving
as good as was sent.
During the four years since their last
meeting Leonard has developed into
the most formidable lightweight In the
world, and. while Britton has retained
his virility and speed to a surprising de-
gree. yet he doubtless has lost much OF
the stamina that he possessed in former
years.
His last championship battle in this
city with the youthful Dave Shade
showed the title holder in distress a,
the close of the fifteenth round The
decision of drawn battle rather flattered
the champion.
There is no question that Britton will
be in fine physical condition for the
fray, and he may make a better show
ing against Leonard than he did agains,
Shade. At the same time Leonard will
naturally be a much harder proposition
than Shade, the latter being young
strong. aggressive, but lacking exper
ience.
Judged from all angles. Leonard
should win the battle on points IL the
bout lasts fifteen rounds, and by knock
out if the fight ends before the limit
is reached.

for Saratoga Meeting

CINCINNATI, June 25.-Whiskaway,
winner of the $4,000 Kentucky Special
at Latonia yesterday. was shipped to
Brookdale Farm. Red Bank. N. j.. to-
night and will not be starter in the
Latonia Derby next Saturday Trainer
Rowe plans to rest the great colt at
the Whitney farm until he goes to Sara
toga to compete in the fall racing at that
point.
The great colt came out of his race
in fine shape. Norwich and all the
others were reported to have been none
the worse for their hard gruelling jour-
ney.
Had Whiskaway started in the La
tonia Derby he would have been asked
to shoulder 131 pounds and run a mile
and half.
Norwich still Is at Latonia and his
owner and trainer are undecided about
plans for the dethroned champion. He
may remain here and start in the derby,
or he may return East, they said.

Dempsey Lost MOnocIe
Passing Through Arizona
Champion Stops Here on Way

Jack Dempsey. the heavyweight cham

his way TO Providence. where he hopes
10 start his act for those who failed 10
give the turnstile a whirl at Boyle's
thirty acre lot last summer. :.
Jack was not wearing the monocle he
had parked in his left eye upon his
return from England. He said he lost
il when he put his head out of the
Pullman window while passing through
Arizona. He expects to find an Indian
chief wearing It upon his return.
The champion looked as IL the food
ration on the coast mad been table
d'hote. He considers that the exercise
he will get on tour. exchanging bouquets
with sparring partners. will keep him in
trim.
Dempsey is eager for the Wills bout.
He is confident he can whip the col
ored pugilist. Dempsey had an en-
gagement with Kearns, who was late in
arriving because of a previous date a,
Coney Island.
Jack made the following statement
III fight anybody, any time, any
where" said the champion. Just let
Doc fix UP the details about the busi-
ness end and I'll tend to laying them
end to end as fast as they come. That's
bunk about me not caring for this or

~ OEHAMPTON, June % (Asso-

1 y who watched Mrs. Mallory's
defeat In the Roehampton final
scarcely recognized the strange un-
even play as that of the champion.
Having lost to Mrs. Beamish and
also won against her since her ar
rival in England II was expected
that Mrs. Mallory would exert her
self for the odd match. but after
taking the first set at 6--1 she
slowed down perceptibly to a shadow
of her usual play.
Many observers were convinced
that she welcomed the light rain and
resulting uncertain footing on the
grass as an excuse for not extending
herself, thereby demonstrating to

feared In the Wimbledon singles

When Billy Whiskers settled in
Farmersville he fully expected to
end his days in that quiet little
community where he had a good
home, plenty to eat, many friends,
and enjoyed the reputation OF
being the wisest OF the animals at
Cloverleaf Farm.
Billy. in after years, when he
amused his great grandchildren
with stories of his earlier life, used
to say that the day at the circus
and those that followed were the
most exciting and interesting in all
his life; and although he was asked
TO repeat the story very often he
generally refused, keeping it for
special occasions like birthdays,
Fourth Of July, Thanksgiving or
Christmas. He said II told too
often, it would become an old story
and all the kids in time would be-

But it never did. Billy Whiskers

Bills Experience

One day some boys went in
swimming. The youngest was only
six, but they had an older brother
to look after them.
They had been swimming but a
little while when one of the boys
whose name was Bill, asked if he
could go down the beach little
farther. His brother Jack told
him he could.
He had not been gone very long
when Jack heard him screaming,
Jack ran to the fence to see what
was the matter. Just over the
fence was Bill He was slowly
sinking in quicksand. The first
thing Jack thought OF was to run
for help, but Bill would be under
by that time, so he knocked long
board off the fence and threw it
out to Bill. 1t was hard for Bill
to raise himself out of the quick
sand; but finally he got out.-Writ-
