Champ Faces Greatest Period of His Career, With Chance to Win Welterweight Title, and Also a Possibility of
 Losing His Present Grown

New York, June 16.--A new fight ing record is about to be hung up to dry by Benny Leonard, prince of the royal family of pugilism who began today to dust off his armor like a plumed knight in preparation for iousts with three of the toughest op- ponents in the business within the extremely short space of S2 days.
 Tex Rickard has worked out two- thirds of the original design and Floyd Fitzsimmons has manipulated the other third Jack Britton, worlds welterweight champion, Lew Tender of Philadelphia and Rocky Kansas. of Puffalo, are the trio who will fill 1t out.
 A Rich Prize
 The three bouts within month will net Benny about a quarter of million dollars, and. if he can find the button when he steps into the ring with Britton, he will step out the welterweight champion of the world. the fourth fighting man since Napoleon to hold two championships AS Britton will not be down to 1855 pounds, Leonard's lightweight coro- net will not be in danger.
 Leonards summer season will open June 26, at Jersey City, with Britton in a no-decision bout. Eight days later he will meet Rocky Kansas at Michigan City, Indiana, in an 1nde- pendence Day battle for his crown, and on July 27 he will be back in New York in a championship go with Tender, recognized as the most for midable of the contenders. After that he may rest for a while. No modern champion has such record.
 Everything To Gain
 Leonard has all to win and nothing to lose with Britton-for whom the opposite is true; Leonard has only his reputation and not his title at stake when he meets Kansas, though the Italian may be surprisingly better; but with Tender he is taking "a chance.
 Champs of Two Classes
 Only three men have held more than one title a long time in boxing history-Bob Fitzsimm ons, Terry Nc Govern and Johnny Buff.
 Leonard, who is 26, has fought two previous mo- decision bouts with Brit ton, who is nearly 3S.
 Tendler is but 24 and has been box ing since 1916 when he was peddhng papers in Philadelphia.
 Both he and Leonard have defeated Kansas, so the Buffalo man is not considered seriously in the running.

KEARNS ON WILLARD
DempscyS Manager Thinks That Jess Is in Much Better Condition Now
 and Would Give Much Better Battle

Los Angeles, June l6.-Jess Willard would give Jack Dempsey a better | fight for the worlds heavyweight championship boxing title this year than he did three years ago at Toledo, in the belief Of Jack Kearns. Demp- Sey's manager, commenting today on a virtual den Willard issued yesterday. One Of my reasons for thinking so is that Willard will be in much bet ter condition than when he was de- leated," kearns said, T saw Jess several days ago and he is already in pretty fair shape. He will no doubt work hard from now on so as to be in the very pink of condition"
 Willard is not going to take on Jack for the purpose of making any money because he had made plenty in the oil business during the past year or so. He is simply going into the match to prove that he is bet ter man than Dempsey and absolute ly thinks he is Jacks master. Of course l think Jack will lick him again, but l really believe that Will lard will make a better showing this time"
 Asked when the match would be held, kearns replied that he felt "cer- tain that Jack would like one or two opponents in September the other one being Brennan. so you see he will have a busy time of it in the early fall"

BLACK SOX BARRED
Fox River League Directors Will Not
 Tolerate Them.

Oshkosh Wis. June 16.--The Fol River Valley Baseball league ha, definitely barred from it's clubs all baseball outlaws, John F. Kluwin president, announced today after a meeting of the directors.
 Concerning the playing of the play CTS, Mr Kluwin stated:
 Had their contracts been submit ted to me they would never have been approved. What incentive is there to a ball player to remain hon. est if we put a premium on dishon- esty by permitting outlawed men, who have been driven from the big leagues for alleged dishonesty, to come into the league and perhaps re- ceive higher salaries than the men whom they replaced, and who were absolutely loyal and honest? The di- rectors agreed to a man that the Black Sox players shall never play in a league game nor at league park"

An Open Letter To
Delegate Robbins!

Nj EDITOR
Will you permit me the use OF the
space to ask Delegate Robbins
question or two about the proposed
$250,OOO School Bond issue?
Cd MI Robbins will you tell US
who is behind this proposed school
bond issue?
(2l Has the School Board endors-
ed the proposed loan? l ask this
question because l should think leg
islation concerning public school af-
fairs should start with the School
Board has not endorsed the proposed
bond issue.
60 Since this matter has the en-
dorsement of the Chamber of Com
merce will you advise me how many
members OF the Chamber of Com
merce were present at the meeting
when the loan bill was endorsed?
a. Can you tell me what effect
this and other bills will have upon
the tax rate in the future. L have
been told that the amount raised by
taxation last year at the rate of $1.6O
on the 500 fell short about 5,OOO
of being enough to pay the year S
bills. Ii this is true, does 1t not
mean that the rate will have to be
increased next year about 40 cents
on the 500 to take care OF our
regular expenses unless they are cut
down very much; the Cook bill will
add about cents additional to the
rate; the 100000 bond issue will
add about cents fore for interest
alone. not counting the sinking fund
which should be not less than cents
per 500, and l am told that the
town proposes to increase OF III
cents. now Mr. Robbins, if you add to
all of this nearly cents more for in
terest and cents for sinking fund
for your school bill will you not
have a tax rate in Cambridge OF 50, "A
on the 500, and of 1884 in the
county?
80 Dc you consider this a safe
tax rate?
Now, Mr. Robbins, this lnforma-
ton is not asked for the purpose OF
nagging or fault finding or because
l am opposed to progress. but for the
sincere purpose of getting informa-
ton and l hope that you will show
me the courtesy OF answering each
question separately.
