Final Score Is , to 4- Tommy Blanchard Hits Five Out of Six Safely Dinner Follows Game.
Written Especially for Tine Herald
 By Benny Leonard Lightweight Champion of the Norll

It cost me more than s1o0.000 tc
 win from Pal Moran, New Orlean. lightweight, in Cleveland the other night.
 And it was worth it. I cracked my left thumb in the third round. AS result of the in- jury I will not be able to fight Mickey Walker, welterweight champion, in New York this month. I may not be able to fight him before next spring. The Walker fight would have brought me more than s100,00O. I got less than s12, 1000 for winning from Moran. I can hear the critics saying, How foolish of Leonard to run the risk of losing the Walker match just to pick up few thousands by meeting set up. He must have an awful greed for gold"
 Needed a "Test Fight"
 Well, Pm Jewish boy and 1 don't exactly cringe at the sight of money. But I didn't take on Moran with the idea of adding to my bank roll. ] would have boxed him, or any other fairly good lightweight for that mat ter, for nothing.
 I needed fight. a good spirited fight that would put me on edge for Walker. l had been out of the ring for nearly a year. didn't know how good I was, and l did know that Walker was tough. I don't mind ad- now that I had some mis- glvings.
 ~I remembered my experience against Charley White in 1920, out in Michigan. hadn't fought in months. l came up from the coast to take on the Chicago left hooker. l thought l was in fair shape I wasn't. White knocked me through the ropes. A better man would have knocked me out.
 That was lesson to me. re- solved I would never take on a tough customer again without engaging in one or two preliminary fights first. I knew I couldn't run the same risk against Walker that I had against White. Walker carried too many Ndo HtdNltl cHu DtSluCS, l wanted to win his title.
 Now He's Certain
 l had all this in mind when agreed to battle Moran in Cleveland, and that's why l refused to call the match off.
 How do I figure that it was worth 3 temporary loss of s100,000 to go through with this fight?
 The result assured me I haven't gone back. found my footwork as good as everS and my punching as sharp and hard as in days gone by had some doubts as 10 my ability 10 whip Walker before, now have none whatever.
 My thumb will heal in a month or 50. After that l will continue active y in the ring. will be in perfect rim when I do meet Walker and l will beat him.

1 Each year produces one or more new pitching sensations.
 Last season George uhle of cleve- land and Adolph Luque of Cincinnati were the bright shining stars.
 It is baseball history that few pitchers have ever had two big years in succession. Apparently with as much stuff as ever, Luque and Uhle have been unable 10 win consistently this year.
 In the American league Hollis Thurston of Chicago has supplanted Uhle in the spotlight while Emil Yde of the Pirates is the big noise in the National
 Unlimited confidence in his ability to make good has made possible the great success that has come to Thurs ton this year.
 Had Thurston been content to warm the bench, act as relief twirler. in general play the role of second string pitcher, he would probably still be with the St. Louis Browns, unknown to fame.
 Didn't Like Sub Roles 
 Two years ago Thurston was bought by the St. Louis Americans from the Salt Lake club of the Pacific Coast league. A winning pitcher in that organization, he made but little progress at St. Louis.
 Playing the role of mere substitute didn't make hit with Thurston. He wanted to start games, not finish con- tests that appeared hopelessly lost be- fore he broke into the lineup.
 Give me a chance to start some ball games or else send me to some other American league club. If no other team in the American league wants me. give me ticket back to the minors. I want to be some place where l can pitch in regular turn. am either big leaguer or busher and want q chance 10 establish my status"

 That was the ultimatum Thurston delivered to the St. Louis club. It
