Charley white and Bobby Barrett
win box tonight 1t the velodrome Tor
the privilege Of being tapped on the
chin b. Benny Leonard in person. AT
any rate that Is the announcement OF
the management. The winner is to
meet Leonard.
Charley White, who used to be Mr..
Anchowit1 before he abandoned the
cloak and suit business for the resin
the ring and the bucket. dropped into
town yesterday from Chicago and re-
ported ready to his manager, Ike
Dorgan. Barrett will arrive this morn
ing and see the sights before he takes
any chances Of seeing the stars at tho
Velodrome tonight.
The two principals tonight are VIC
TINS Of circumstances and Leonard and
Tender. Barrett was smitten on the
porch BY Tender and Charley White
carelessiy blocked Leonard's right with
his chin. Each maintains that what
an accident.
Mr.. White or Anchowitz Is the pos
SCISSOR OF left hook that would flatten
any lightweight alive II 1t landed. But
before Mr.. White lets go with the punch
he indicates by magnificent gestures that
he Is about to let 1t travel. When 1t
finally arrives the antagonist Is some-
where else In some other part Of the
ring and Mr.. Anchowitz's deadly left
only causes q rush Of air that creates q
draft and makes tho customers sneeze.
The last time he was hero he let 60 so
many wild lefts and caused such a con-
tinuous rush OF air that the health au-
thoritiss were accusing him Of causing
the influenza epidemic.
Mr.. Dersaa Gives Advice.
Mr.. Dorgan, who learned the rudi-
nents Of the pugilistic business while
delivering bread from Messenberg,s
bakery to the home Of James J. Cor
bett In Hayes Valley. San Francisco.
has given his protege some safe advice.
The burden OF the same is: Don't tele-
graph before you let the left 60. Just
let It co.
Benny leonard, the lightweight cham
pion. rnae or may not be present at the
ringside this evening. He Is due to-day
after having filled business engage
nlent with Ever Hammer at Michigan
City. The Western trade seems to be a
trifle slack. as Benny sold only $4,000
worth Of goods on. the trip. It hardly
paid him to go.
The boys are talking Of giving Benny
bencfit. as he h reported to be little
short Of destitute. Some reports have It
that he Is reduced to half million,
while others have it that he Is actually
down to q quarter OF million. The
story of his sufferings drew tears in
caulihower ear circles. He Is reported
to have lost as much as $2.S5 in one
game of pinochle alone and shortly after
that he dropped q two dollar bill on a
race horse on the assurance that the
horse was . pipe. Evidently the man
had deceived him and Benny never could
get the money back
Az It looks now Benny will have to
live all winter on the proceeds of his
last two fights. Tho total is barely
$4,000. After this is gone the Light
weight champion will hardly know
which way to turn unless he digs into
his savings from previous fights.
Congress May Take Action.
There ID some talk about taking the
matter before Congress and asking for
an immediate appropriation for the re-
lief OF Benny Leonard. II quick action
can be got on this motion and the popu-
lar subscriptions como in quickly enough
II Is barely possible that Leonard may
prevail upon the sheriff TO refrain from
evicting him upon his return from
Europe. He 10 taking this trip on the
theory that a suite In q Paris hotel
and q simple little estate on the Riviera
would help him economixe.
Benny does not know how come the
reports that he was well OF. His net
income from his earnings and invest
rncnts could be very little over $4,000
a year and OF late his life has been one
bitter struggle to keep within 1t. Pity
the poor pugilists.
There will be . bantamweight prciin-
mary to the MAIN event tonight. Pal
Moore. who 10 here to demand a bont
with Joe Lynch. win show what he has
against Jack Wolfe Of Cleveland. Joe
will be In the vicinity and may or may
not accept the challenge.
Mr.. Ike Dorgan in addition to second
ing Mr.. White will be behind Cariey
McKenna, the light heavyweight who
has Just been collected by Mr.. Dorgan.
This will be McKenna's professional
debut. He has been knocking all the
amateurs In this vicinity quite silly.
This evening he will meet Tim Kelly Of
California.
Tim Kelly II no relative OF Toothpick
Kelly, the famous California heavy
weight, who was called Toothpick be-
cause like that useful dental instrument
his head came TO = point. Toothpick
retired from the ring sometime ago. He
had . hard punch but no sense OF direc-
tfon. His decision TO quit the game
came after he let 90 swing and hit
himself on his own chin. He swung so
