TRIO OF CHAMPIONS
BILLED IN ONE SHOW
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, September 6.-Benny
Leonard will appear at the Phillies'
ball park Friday against Johnny Men
delsohn of Milwaukee. 1t was on the
cards that Benny was to have appear
ed with decision over Johnny Dun
dee to his credit. But that plan went
fooey. Benny probably will be real
rough with the Milwaukeean since it
would seem that his business in
stincts would suggest the advisability
of few knockouts from now on.
His public is getting fed up on no.
decisions and bouts that go the limit.
The man who draws is the man who
puts his opponents to sleep
Leonard won't be lonely at Philadel.
phia. He will have plenty of classy
company. For no less than two 9th er
champions will appear upon the same
bill. Joe Lynch will meet young Mon
treal and some interest will be dis
played in the way the featherweight
titleholder works out against the
clever Rhode Island bantam.
Then Gene Tunnev will exchange
fisticuffs with Jack Burke, Dempsey 5
sparring partner. Burke may pull d
surprise on Tunney. for he is a fight
ing fool and the champion told the
writer out west that he had great eX-
pectations of this boy. He has no fear
and steps in with good will. He can
hit, too. Tunney has been out of the
ring a long time and his inactivity
may be found to have told upon him.

George MoEridge's hit in the third

The Yankees have something else
for theirs. They have twenty-nine
games left to play, and to come up
to their mark of ninety-four victo-

must win twelve more. That leaves
them such an easy task that the
championship can only be lost by an
earthquake. They can win twelve
and lose seventeen and tie 1922. At
the rate they have been playing they
should succeed just the other way
around. They will finish the season
with 80, 100 or 101 victories.

1t isn't absolutely impossible. The
