real, first-rate lightweight devel-
oped. how would Leonard feel about
meeting him at the limit Of his class?
From Benny's present appearance he
would have to do a lot of work to
get down to the lightweight division,
and having done so would not be
strong for a gruelling battle.
Leonard. however. through his bout
in Cleveland with Pal Moran, has
left the way open for fight after he
has finished with Walker. The battle
ended with Moran still on his feet
and while New Workers might not
fall for the fight in great numbers.
it figures to be good enough for out
of-town promoters to bid for it.
BARLEY Madden II going to the Ould
Sod to enjoy a well earned rest. His
manager points with pride to the fac.
that he will carry to Ireland an un-

| manager, would be accepted in any
court of law as evidence that Bart

most people seem to think.
The writer's idea is that it does not
show he is not a punching bag. bu,
| that he is a mighty tough punching
bag.
Leo Flynn. Jack Renault's manager
| laughs hoarsely when any one states
that Harry Wills was saving his

| points out. socked Madden with every.
thing he had. and Jack is by re
means a light hitter. Yet BARLEY
stood the punishment.
Therefore, figures Flynn, Wills was
letting 'em go, too, for all he was
worth and did not make as much OF
an impression upon the Granite Mar
as did Renault.
AS a matter of fact, Harry's punch
| ing power has been called into ques.
| tion by more than one shrewd OBJ
server since that Madden go, and the
dope begins to watt around that Wills
is not going to knock Firpo out

CARD AT FORT MYER

When Bobby Marriott, Army mid
dleweight champion, faces Jack
Turner of California in hte 10-round
feature bout Thursday night in the
Fort Myer arena, Washington fistic
fans expect to witness one of the
best mills staged recently in this
section.
The terrific beating administered
to Jumbo Eggleston by Turner makes
it certain that Marriott will have his
hands full. Turner won the praise of
some 1000 fans when he disposed of
Eggleston.
Marriott, however, has given a good
account of himself. Although he
failed to topple Eggleston, he dis
played enough fighting ability to win
by a wide margin.

In 1928, when he drove out 80, get.

hit this year away back in Spring

on the nose, which was all to the

the championship.
After the season started he got the
home run habit again. It came al

or course. the Babe still is in the
home-run fight. and it is barely pos
sible that he will raise his own mark
this season and give Kraft something

Kraft seems to have a pretty fail
chance. He is a wicked right-hand
driver, who punches the ball much
as Hornsby does. He also can swing
free. and when he swings free the
ball sails high, wide and handsome.
Fort Worth fans have more than

Kraft that $4,000. They are red

junior lightweight champion today as
result of the successful defense of
his title in 15-round bout with Vim
cent Pepper) Martin Of Brooklyn at
the Greensboro A. c., in Long Island

Although no knockdowns were

at the finish. Sullivan had the bet

1t was the sixth meeting between
the two boxers and the titleholder's

ON THE SIDE LINES

Dutch Leonard doesn't figure to be
of much assistance to the Tigers il
he fails to display better form than
yesterday, when he was unsteady as
well as ineffective.
No lesS than seven double plays were
registered in the course of the COM
bat, four of them being engineered
by the home talent.
TwO-base bin&les also were much in
evidence. OF the eight recorded, the
Griffs got five, a pair of them going
to Judge, who, with a single to boot,
was the batting leader for the day.
An auto accident earlier in the day,
in which Goslin miraculously escaped
death with only a scraped ear and
bruised hip. resulting from being
pinned under his car when crashed
into by another machine, evidently
threw Goose off his batting stride.
He was the only Griffithian regular
who failed to get a safety.
Manager Cobb was notified before
the game of the stork's visit with q
son at his home in Detroit, but aside
from that the fiery Georgian didn't
have much to celebrate over. Cobb
has six youngsters in his family now,
four of them boys.
BlueEe earned fine hand when he
raced over and reached into a field
box for Cobbs foul in the first inning.
Dumb base running by Wingo en-
abled Rice to achieve a rather rare
feat for an outfielder-an unassisted
double play-in round 2. Wingo had
gotten life on Peck's tumble when
Pratt lofted. Wingo dug out at his
best pace and had rounded third be-
fore it dawned on him that Rice had
caught the fly. Sam jaunted in and
stepped on first to complete the dual
killing which gave him all three put
outs for the frame, as he got under
Heilmann's fly for a starter.
With McNeely on the initial sack
by virtue of a walk in the third
Harris flied to Heilmann, who dropped
the ball and recovered it in time to
apparently force Mac at second, but
the jumps ruled Heilmann had held
the ball long enough to constitute a
legal catch.

line in right for Wingos fly and with
"a perfect peg to Ruel tagged

travelling all night and having had
only few hours of sleep, Luis Angel
Firpo, the Argentine heavyweight
boxer, arrived in New York today
from Saratoga to answer charges of
perjury made in a warrant obtained
yesterday by Canon William Sheafe
Chase on behalf of the New York
Civic League, which seeks Firpo's de-
portation on the ground that he made
false statements to the immigration
authorities.
Hyman Bushel. attorney for Tex
Rickard, who brought Firpo to this
country, declared 1.-The whole thing
had resulted because Rickard had re-
fused to be blackmailed." The law
yer went on to assert that Rickard
had been asked some time ago to con-
tribute $4,000 to the Civic League of
New York, but had refused. Bushel
declared he could produce the man
who represented the Civic League in
making the request for a contribu-
tion
When Canon Chase heard of the
lawyers charge he said: II should
be very much interested to know
what person was authorized to rep
resent the New York Civic League.
OF course, any one might represent
himself as being an agent of the
league and we would not necessarily
know Of it. But, as far as l know, no
such request was made. AS to the
statement that the proceedings against
Firpo are part of a blackmail scheme.
that Is absurd"
In his statement explaining why
Firpo's arrest was sought, Canon
Chase said:
"The moral issue of the double
standard was involved, since the
sense Of justice and humanity was
shocked to see the woman treated
worse than the man. The woman
wanted to be admitted, but she was
rejected for technical excuses, which
the public knows to be a mere pre-
text, but the man has been admitted
as a mere visitor"
