DECLARE BENNY
CAN 7 MAKE
LIMIT
Fans Revive Argument That
Leonard No Longer Is
Lightweight Champ.
By DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK, April IA few Of
the boys have revived a favored
pastime of other years by declaring
that our Mr.. Leonard no longer is
lightweight champion Of the world
because he no longer is q light
weight. Benjamin, they say, can.
not make the lightweight limit Of
1S6 pounds without a major opera
ton, and one critic has even gone
80 far as to declare that he weighed
no less than 1891 pounds for his
last fight with Lew Tender.
On that occasion the weighing.in
ceremony was conducted in strict
privacy, and consequently the
critic in question might experience
some difficulty in substantiating
his claims. Official announcement
before the fight was to the effect
that Leonard weighed 1874 pounds
and Tender 1891.
Oddly enough, rather broad in.
situations were dropped on the oc-
casion Of the first Leonard Tender
meeting at Jersey City, some Of the
news scavengers protesting to be-
lieve that neither Leonard nor
Tender got under the weight dead
line. Color was lent to this belief
by the fact that the gentlemen Of
the press were invited to be absent
during the weighing-in proceedings.
However, upon earnest solicitation.
the. boxing commissioners finally
gave reluctant permission to one
newspaperman to be present. He
reported that everything was Jacob
on the weight business.
Leonard, however, has always
been a subject for speculation on
his actual poundage ever since he
took aboard extra weight while in
the army. He didn't weigh less
than 145 pounds at one stage Of
the proceedings. and the extra
flesh was distributed over parts Of
his body where reducing was a most
difficult matter.
At that time almost every sharp.
shooter on Broadway was willing
to bet that Leonard never again
would fight as a lightweight. He
fooled them then and he may do it
again. although his very evident
inclination to take on Mickey
Walker in a welterweight cham.
pionship bout would seem to indi-
cate that perhaps Benny himself
may have decided that 1875 pounds
at 2 o'clock is q bit beyond him.

GIRLS MAY HOLD
TWO-CLASS
TOURNEY
Fair BowIers Hope to Double
Membership of Their
Association.
By r. d. THOMAS.

Miss Bronson Quaites, secretary
Of the Washington Ladies' Duckpir
Association, announces a meeting
Of the association for next Wednes
day night at the Postoffice Depart

to double our membership and make
this years tournament the best

This means that the girls hops

Of the association will get that
many and possibly more. There arc
nine girl bowling leagues in Wash

girls who bowl but are not affiliated
with any league.

come an opportunity to compete in
an organized event if they were
not forced to try their skill on even
terms with the stars Of the Wash.
ington Ladies' League. Most of the
citys most accomplished girl bowl
ers are in this league.
How to make the tournament at
tractive to the rockies will be a
big subject at the meeting. 1t Is
Miss Bronson's belief, and the be.
lief Of other leaders Of the associa-
ton, that it could be done by di.
viding the tournament into two

Duckpin Association, for men, has
three classes.

But After Seeing Record
Homer Higgins Thinks Babe
Will Have Big Year.
By FORD C. Prick.

NEW YORK, April IA. - Miller
John Higgins sat in the shade OF
the dugout in Mobile not so very
long ago and watched Babe Ruth
crash the ball over the far confines
Of the center-field fence, the longest
bit ever seen in Mobile. and probably
the longest the Babe ever has
made.
WELL" Hug remarked, 1T does
look as though. the big fellow had
found himself.
What sort of a season do you
|expect Ruth to have this year,
anyhow" Hug was asked.
The midget leader pondered a
moment.
"well, if you mean what sort of
Ia home1run season, then can't
say" he replied.
There are lots Of angles enter
into that. First of all, you've got
to remember that few pitchers give
him good balls, and that most pitch
ers prefer to walk him in a tight
place.
"Then there's this new rule for
the umpires concerning the throw
ing out of balls, soiled balls, and
balls that have been roughed a biz
from batting give the pitchers y
better leverage and mean better
pitching. That is sure to affect
the Babe, just as IL VIII affect every
other hitter in the league.
Don't misunderstood me. The
Babe will continue to get home
runs, and his home run percentage
will be higher than that of any
other man in the league, but break
ing his record is a different thing
entirely"

SUCCESS OF BROWNS
DEPENDS UPON PRUETT

ST. LOUIS, April IA. The
Browns success in 1924 depends to
a great extent upon the showing of
Hubert Pruett, left-hand pitcher, in
the opinion of Manager George Sis.
Ter, who, as manager of the local
Americans, experienced his first
extra-inning contest at Fort Worth,
Tex, when his team defeated the
Fort Worth, Texas League, club in
fourteen innings.
Pruett pitched six innings and, as
on other occasions, showed rare
form. His control was good and
his famous fade-away had the
Texas Leaguers baffled, except in
one inning, when they punched hits
for two runs.
