Oldest Woman Bowler
Says Game Keeps
Her Young

Women who try to cancel the
signs of age by artificial means
only seek to 'look" young, Mrs.
A. Scott, Of Los Angeles, says.
Her idea is to stay" young.
She does it by exercise,
mostly bowling. Just how old
she really is she doesn't say, but
she doesn't deny she's in the
fifties, and she's been a bowler
for twenty-five years. She's
the oldest woman bowling fan
in America, she asserts. ..
Recently Mrs. Scott won the
Pacific coast individual wom-
ans championship, scoring 219
in q single game.

His manager, aptly named Dumb
Dan Morgan, is not quite 30 reii-
cent. According to Dan, Britton will
jab Leonard into submission and put
over a haymaker before the natural
end Of the bout.
Take it from me- said. Morgan
today, 'Britton is no creanpuff
fighter. He has been through so
many hard bouts that he knows
more about the game than any man
In it. He will muss Leonard up as
he was never mussed up before nnd
gradually wear him down until he
is ready to be dropped for the count.
Leonard doesn't like lefts on that
beak Of his, and he will have q
great many lefts reach II right aft
er the bell starts the bout. My man
has a left that no one can get away
from, and Leonard will find this
out to his dismay. Benny Is only a

tonight"

knew that II was to save the
bets Morgan and had laid against
my being knocked out I'd have to
fight the greatest defensive battle Of
my career.
Apparently Leonard and his man.
ager were betting Benny would stop
me, for the lightweight came tear
ing from his corner with the first
gong, both fists flying and each with
knock-em-dead intent. He was a
cyclone.
The Washington times., 1922-06-26

I thought, up to then, that
Leonard's real punch was = short

round was half over, he hit me
with q short left, which split my
lip and knocked out q tooth. He
caught me with Il . second time
and that one landed ON the Jaw

The Washington times., 1922-06-26

In spite OF the fact that Leonard
will enter the ring weighing only 1913
pounds to Britton's 147. the former
has been installed a to s favorite
in what betting has already been
done In this city.
1t ia figured that the king OF
the lightweights packs the heavier
punch. and being younger. can take
q lot more punishment than Britton.
Before the boys enter the ring at
the Velodrome this evening the
chances are that Leonard will be u
more pronounced favorite. for his
following always goes down hook,
line and sinker on him every time
he fights.

Some of the practice crews went
out on the river for short practice
starts yesterday. II was hard rull.
ing for the tide was strong. and there
was a stiff breeze. Some experts
remarked that IL the wind holds. the
Navy and Pennsylvania would have
slim chances regardless Of their
speed. They pointed out that the
Navy's allround work In superb and
that so n Corneifs. but that the
middies keep the boat on a better
keel. The accident recall limit will
be thirty seconds. At New London
II was one minute.
Who win win4 That's the ques-
ton here tonight.
Coach Teneyck makes the unqual-
idied statement that the Navy lis
the only crew on the river John
HoyIe, Of Cornell, qualified that by
saying: II like the Navy best, but
Syracuse must not be overlooked
Ed. Leader, OF Washington. pick
ed the Navy or Cornell to win. So
did Joe Wright, OF Pennsylvania.
Cornell. but Washington Is fast"
said Dick Glendon.
The Navy crew Is In better trim
than ever, judging by their practice.
Columbia is a cause of speculation.
There have been so many shifts
made in the boating that Coach
Rice has had to give most OF his
men work at a stroke ranging from
"a to 80.
The Washington crew padded
out for final practice late yester.
day before an admiring throng.

boat have received o flood Of tel

Benny shook me off and continued
to hammer me until the bell. I got
little rest-but l needed II for the
second.
No man ever tried more desperate.
ly to finish another than Leonard did
in that second. He swarmed all over
me, volleying me with lefts and
rights so fast that began to think
six men, not one, were shooting
blows at me. He hammered my
body, shifted the attack to the head
and then went body punching again.
How I took all that pounding in
my weakened condition and still
clung to my feet will always be 4
mystery. Again and again felt my
knees wobble. Each time II Leonard
could have put through one or two
quick follow.up blows he might n;.ve
dropped me. But always in those
critical moments was able to csll
upon my knowledge Of defense and
block off the punching whirlwtnd.
Leonard beat me by a mile in the
first six rounds-then he began to
tire and slow up from the fury OF
his attack. Odd as 1t may seem,
began to get q little stronger, and
when Leonard decided to do a little
loafing I began to attack. II was n
surprise to Benny--and also TO the
crowd, because everybody figured I
was close to being all in.
I believe ringsiders will agree
that look tho seventh, eighth
and ninth rounds from Leonard.
But not the tenth. lie came out
like a tornado and with intent to
sweep me down before his blows.
He threw science and everything
else to the four winds. A knock
out In that final round was his
only ambition. -
But he didn't succeed. I used the
old headwork In that round and
kept close to Benny. wasn't
taking any further chances with
his long punches. He landed a
dozen short jolts and several shook
me up. from head to foot But he
didn't put me down.
And when the final round ended,
and was still on my feet, Dan and
I made hurried plans to collect our
bets. But afterward we decided
Dan should do II. I wasn't pretty
enough to be seen Just then--nor for
quite a few days later. Leonard
iIn't kno! Il own or out hat
that bird certainly did knock me
around.

These wise followers Of the game
insist that Benny was never better,
and that he will take Mr.. Britton
before the fifteenth round Is reached.
Leonard has boxed daily with three
or four men heavier than Britton
and has handled them with ease. In
clinches, where strength counts, he
has outroughed his partners and had
no difficulty in doing 30. His con-
dition Is superb. declares Mamie
Seeman, his trainer, who confidently
looks forward to Benny grabbing the

knockout within ten rounds.

He profts most who serves best"

for a special sermon preached by Rev.
Richard w. Trapnell at ST. Andrews
Episcopal Church yesterday morning.
Yesterday marked the beginning OF the
18th anniversary week OF Rotary, and
the Wilmington Rotary Club. OF which
Rector Trapnen is member. began
It's celebration by attending his
church. A large percentage OF Ro-
tarians were there and all were i'm
pressed with the sermon.
Mr.. Trapnell. incidentally spoke of
the wonderful development OF the Ro-
,ary idea: how Il had spread, from a
very small local beginning in Chicago
TO embrace the whole world. a.
He drew e. parallel between the
feeding OF the multitude. by Jesus
with the loaves and fishes, and any
good that can be done 20 mankind by
faithful service.
