MIR. White in pugilistic way. But
it simply couldn't be done.
Throughout the rest of the slam.
bang fray Mr.. Leonard did every.
thing within his power-vocally.
mind you-to assist Mr. Mitchell in
subduing Mr.. White. But the vocal
eloquence of champion plus the
punching power of a larruping
lightweight were unequal to the
occasion.
Mr.. White simply would not be
subdued. 1t appears that his pur-
pose there that night was to be n
subduer-and nothing else. He ac-
complished his ambition after ten
rounds of whirlwind battling.
Mr.. Mitchell was quite a wreck
when they carried him off to his
corner So was Mr.. Leonard. who
seemed to he suffering as much
mental anguish as Mr. Mitchell was
suffering in a physical way.
And now
Well. there seems to he nothing
left for Mr.. Leonard to do except to
try conclusions with Mr. White all
by himself. There seems to be no
other way out. Hence the sadness
of Mr.. Leonard and the gloomy out.
look he has upon life just now.
Thought He Had One.
For something more than two
seasons Mr. Leonard, in replying
to Mr.. Whites challenges, always
has remarked something about "go
and get a reputation" Mr.. White
and a lot of other folks-thought
he had one. But Mr.. Leonard. in
the way that becomes all cham.
pions. said such an idea was
erroneous TO an extreme.
Mr. White, ever obliging. then
began to wander along the fistiC
highways and proceeded to beat up
all whom he encountered. One by
one he knocked over the men desig.
mated by Mr.. Leonard as "reputa.
tion getters."
Mr. Mitchell was about the last
hurdle Mr.. White had to take,
Mr.. White took him in spectacular
fashion. even though Mr.. Mitchell
had all the moral, vocal, and even
the religious support which Mr.,
Leonard could give to him.
And now the question is settled
"Mr. Leonard will fight Mr..
White. The Ayes have it,. The
motion is carried. 1t is so ordered. +"

n. A. A. F. MEET
TO ORGANIZE
FOR YOUNG MEN
Will Attempt to Improve Gen.
eraI Physical Condition of
Youth in United States.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Inter-
~ est in the amateur athletic
~ world is now centering on
the organization meeting of the
new National Amateur Athletic
Federation, to be held Friday at
the Hotel Astor, as the culmina-
ton of months of effort to or
ganize a systematic arrangement
for the general improvement of
the physical condition of the
youth of the United States, with
out interference with the agencies
already established.
Ever since the difficulties which
arose in obtaining adequate repre-
sentation of the United States at the
last Olympic games. the officials Of
the War and Navy Departments
have been trying TO solve the prob
lem. The Assistant Secretary of
War i'm the Wilson administration
Henry Breckenridge, consulted with
Brig. Gen. Palmer f. Pierce, presi-
dent of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, and as a result of
their joint efforts. the federation
was proposed last year. and the plan
has now reached the point where
its actual organization is possible.
TO AID EVERYWHERE.
The purpose of the federation is
not specifically to hold athletic COM
petitions. but rather to aid in the
organization of athletics wherever
possible. leaving to the clubs and as
sociations which make up the mem
bership of the federation the actual
conduct of championships. This is
provided for specifically in the pro-
posed constitution to be adopted at
the meeting. This is to meet the
objections of such organizations as
the United States Lawn Tennis As
sociation, Amateur Fencers' League.
as well as the Amateur Athletic
Union. which is not vet a member,
but is expected to join when its OBJ
jections are met.
Both the War and Navy Depart,
ments, it is announced. have for
mally decided to place the entire
future training of the youth of the
United States in athletic sports in
the hands of the federation with
a view of insuring against physical
disabilities. which played a consider
able part in the organization of the
United States forces in the world
war.
FOR MASS ATHLETICS.
There will be a general effort to
promote mass athletics rather than
the selection of specialists to play
games requiring special skill and
training, such as football, basket
ball and baseball. Tennis and golf.
and especially swimming. will re-
ceive special attention. The various
college conferences. as well as indi-
vidual schools. colleges and fraternal
organizations, will be urged to build
gymnasiums. swimming pools and
tennis courts, and attempts will be
made to help municipal efforts in
the same direction.

MENKE TELLS
HOW G.. WHITE
GOT HIS BOUT
Chicago Lefthander Knocked
Off All the Good Ones Until
He Made Leonard Sign Up.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

A MONG the saddest folks on
~ this old earth just now is
Mr.. B. Leonard, sometimes
actor and sometimes pugger.
It's all because of fight staged
in Madison Square Garden on the
night of December Is. No, Mr..
Leonard wasn't an active partici-
pant.
But Mr.. Leonard was there
roofing and bowling for and
shrieking many words of encour-
agement to Mr.. R. Mitchell, of
Milwaukee. But it was useless.
Mr.. c. White, the left-hooker
from Chicago, emerged a victor
in the sensational melee.
All If which created much
anguish and woe to percOlate with
in the bosom Of Mr.. b. Leonard.
Y'see. it's this way:
Mr.. Leonard is lightweight
champion and Mr.. White is what
might be called ''runner-up." or
heir apparent. or something like
that. For 10. these many, many
moons Mr.. White has been daring
Mr.. Leonard to knock chip off
his shoulder
This has given Mr. White fire.
quent occasion TO point in the gen.
eral direction of Mr.. Leonard and
jeer:
''F'raidy cat-fraidy cat"'
Annoyed Mr. Leonard.
ard 10 what can be construed as
the boiling point of wrath. Per-
haps. it has caused Mr.. Leonard to
wish that truck could hit Mr..
White. or that he'd commit
burglary, get caught, in the act and
receive a sentence of about ninety
eight years.
Certainly it created within Mr.
Leonard a fearful hatred for Mr..
White and the warming to see the
gentleman from Chicago hammered
into "a state of lasting coma. All
along Mr.. Leonard has asserted
that he could do it all by his little
self but it seemed that he's afraid
of soilinG his ha i or something.
ANYWAY. he pas 'rd the buck to
Mr.. W. jackson. And Mr.. White
beat that gentleman to a pulp.
delDhia. attempted 20 pinch-hit for
Mr.. Leonard. SO did Mr.. s. Marks.
All failed
Then came the night referred to
above.
r. Mitchell. an old playmate of
Mr. LeOnard's. decided to try con-
illusions with Mr. White Along in
the second round. Mr. Mitchell
tossed forth very swift right nav
which cOllided with Mr.. Whites
button" The knees of Mr.. White

upon his feet:

NAVY HAS MAR VELOUS
NEW PLANE FOR SHIPS
Tests Show 1t Admirable for
Combat and Pursuit.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The Naval Bu-
reau of Aeronautics is now developing a
ship plane for combat and pursuit In
conjunction with fleet operations, which
from tests gives promise of eqauling
any land plane in general use by the
army or navy for combat purposes. In
addition to it's being adapted to ship
use. the Navy Department announced
to-day.
The plane was designed by the navy,
built at the naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia and is undergoing further
tests at the Anacostia air station. An
other plane of similar design recently
was completed by the Curtiss Company
at Garden City. l.. l., and shortly will
be flown to Anacostia for tests.
The new type has been designated the
T. s. and was built to meet these re-
quirements of combat: Greatest radius
Of action. smallest dimensions and best
adapted for handling and stowage on
shipboard and operation from a ship or
airdrome. The T. S. type is speedy. Is
easily maneuvered, and while strong, is
lightly constructed.
