LEONARD MAY TRY
FOR WELTER
TITLE
BY HENRY l.. FERREL
United Press Leased Wire


NEW YORK, March 3.-Until the
night of the Kansas fight, Benny
LeOnard's weight was one of the most
discussed topics of the ring.
When the lightweight champion
made l34H pounds eight hours before
he went into the ring with the rugged
little Buffalo Italian, he put to rest
the rumOrs that he was not legiti-
mate lightweight and could not make
the weight.
Perhaps it was for business reasons
that Leonard and his manager never
took the trouble to answer the rumors.
Opponents in division that is not
plentifnlly supplied with ''good cards -
would think more Of their chances
with the idea that the, champion would
weaken himself getting down to the Of
ficial poundage.
Having proved beyond doubt his SUI
periority in the l35pound class, Leon
ord, without doubt, will move up into
the welterwright division. A bout with
lack Rritton for the title seems sure
thing before the winter closes.
How much Leonard win weight for
the proposed bout is a big factor in
the reckoning of the dopesters. Some
claim that the lightweight champion
will weight around l44 pounds. They
figure that Leonard by putting on
weight in eight hours weighed around
1873 when he went in with Kansas. This
is denied, however,, by Gibson.
''Just before Benny left the dressing
room offered to bet that. he would;
not weight more than 1874 pounds. He
didn Il get on the scales, but ] know
from long experience with him that he
never picks up weight on the day
Of the fight he said.
1t all depends on the temperament
of boxer how much poundage he
can put on after being weighed. Ben
ny, being nervous and high strung,
never has been able to increase his
weight.
"Just few days before the fight,
Benny weighed in at 1862 pounds be-
fore dinner. Benny is inclined to
worry before fight. Not about the
chance he is taking for his title but
about tickets for his friends, etc.
cit would be impossible to tell how
much Benny would weight for Jack
Britton. That all depends on how he
feels and what his trainer thinks. How.
ever, ! don't believe he would weigh
more than 1873 pounds. He's strong at
that weight.
Leonard is signed for two more
bouts in Madison Square Garden be.
fore the big arena closes for the sea.
son. The Britton bout is almost sure
to bc one, while the lightweight king
may also meet Charley White, Willie
Jackson or Johnny Dundee.

FIGHT FRAME up
RINCSIDE FANS
DECLARE
by HENRY T.. FARREL
United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, March 8. When
Georges Carpenter knocked out Bat
Ting IIcvinsky, the verdict of the fans
was-''bad match; never should have
been made.
The same thing is being said today
about the Wills Norfolk thing last
night in Madison Square Garden.
Both fights were closely related
Both were parts of a smokenp for
another world s championship fight.
Carpenter and Wills were called upon
to prove that they were good enough
for Dempsey. They both knocked out
the man selected by Jack Kearns
and they were discredited.
Looked Like Frame-up
The Carpenter Levinski fig il I
looked exactly like q 'framc-up.
Not fan Of the 10000 in the garden
saw the blow struck. One Of the Judges
said it was ''terrible,' and the house
agreed.
Norfolk was looking for ga soft
spot in the first round. He took a
couple Of hard iolts from the hinge
Wills and looked over to Leo Flynn in
his corner with an expression akin to
horror. He lasted through the first
round but il was apparent that the
boys would be home early.
just after the gong for the second
round both were in clinch. Suddenly
Norfolk curled up, sank TO the floor
and rolled over. 1t looked as If he
was on his feet at the count of ten
and Norfolk seemed surprised when
waved to his corner.
Fans Didn't Like it
The fans didn't know what it was al
about and they let it be known that
they didn't think much Of it.
Kid Mcfarland, the referee said
the knockout came from q ''six inch
right nppercut TO the jaw How he
saw the blow is q mystery because his
back was almost turned. The thing
happened right in front of the writer
and he saw no blow struck.
Even if Norfolk really did take one,
the blow must have been put over in
clinch or when they were going out
of one. Wills had been warned about
holding and hitting and all through the
first round he had been very careful
and clean in his work.
When Norfolk jumped to his feet
his head was clear despite the "knock'
ont DIOW ana II teTTlllc Joit iiS Heuu
got on the ring floor when he took
his flop.
The same smokc.up' procedure is
being used for the Dempsey Wills
fight that Carpenter had to ca
through with. According to all inter
ested, Wills is just the opponent fol
Dempsey and beyond all doubt he III
get the role of the next victim. Las
night y fight meant nothing. Wills
didn' show thing. Bat that's not
necessary. The Dempsey Wills thing
is all smoked up and ready to go. July
fourth, some place!

SWEET WORDS DEATH
TO MANY BALL
PLAYERS
Pv HENRY l.. FARRELL

United freS3 StaII correspondent
NEW YORK, March 3.-killing ball
PLAYERS with sweet words is nothing
new to the national pastime. Nearly
every season some promising player
finds such poison.
From all early Indications the dose
will be handed out this year to Glenn
Killingcr, "all- American back, three
letter man and one of the best ath
letes developed at Penn state, where
they build them great.
The incest things in the sport vo'
cabulary were written about killinger
while he was running wild over the
eastern gridirOns and hardly had the
cheers from the sidelines subsidized
when his baseball virtues came out to
be extolled in print.
Ready for Majors
Before he signed 4 contract, Hugo
for the big leagues. Fred Mitchell
said he was sure to make good. Sew.
eral New York scouts said he was the
ripest thing in the country.
Before he has done a lick of work
with the Yankees down south, the word
is filtering north that he is Il loveable,
clean type athlete and q second Frank
Frisch If he makes any kind of show
in the early games he will be exploited
to the skies.
Too Many Kind Words
The same thing happened last year
to Goldie Rapp. He was killed by
sweet words. The writer's with the
team measured him for Il uniform too
big to fill. They expected him to do
much and when he found himself out
for a job beyond his ability he slumpcd
until the Giants traded him to the
philliesthc worst punishment in the
National League.
Marty O 'ToOle, was killed by a
ballyhoo. Coming from the American
Association, booked as q phenom, and
the highest priced player in basket,
ball, he flivvcred.
Rnbe Marqnad came near doing the
same thing after he was afflicted with
the title of the 81 900 beauty which
soon turned into the $ll 200 lemon
The fans expected too much of him
and it WAS only by great courage that
Richard De Marquis was able to stick
