New York-Benny Leonard is still
the lightweight champion of the
world and greater champion than
any time during his career. Possibly
not greater in his own natural ability
but greater in comparison with the
field that bids for his crown. The
consummate art with which he out
classed Lew Tender, the foremost
contender, in their Is round decision
battle in the Yankee Stadium, was
so convincing that no doubt exists as
to where the crown belongs and where
it will stay for some time to come.
New York-Johnny Dundee is now
featherweight champion of the world
The great little Italian fighter de-
throned Eugene Criqui, the game
Frenchman, in gruelling 10 round
battle at the Polo Grounds. Criqui
took the worst beating that has been
dealt out to a fighter in this section
in many years. The game soldier
fighter never at any stage of the
journey had a chance with the elusive
Dundee. His gameness was all he had
left when only half the journey had
been traversed.

Berlin-In the elections conducted
throughout Germany of delegates to
the forthcoming metal workers con-
gress at Cassel, the returns show that
the communists are winning all along
the line and that the social democrats
everywhere are in the minority. There
have been many abstentions from vot.
ing, however, particularly in Berlin,
where only 40 per cent of the metal
workers cast ballots.
London-The rapidity with which
negotiations were carried out for the
British debt to the United States was
due to the fact that neither Secretary
w. d. Mellon, Prime Minister Baldwin
nor the governor Of the Bank Of Eng

opinion of the premiers speaking at a
dinner at which Secretary Mellon, Lon

cheapness, ease and lack of publicity
in the average divorce in Paris,
