Not all of the talent ap- peared This was in some degree anticipated by those familiar with how ring celebrities change their minds. The boxer who reaches the heights becomes temperamental. He may promise to do thing today and right about face tomorrow That is what has made necessary a boxing commission that can disqualify him if he does not keep his agreements in fight affairs. Whether or not the nonappearance of Benny Leonard and Al Singer, who wears the light weight crown, was unavoidable, at least they were not there.
 But the show went merrily on, An- nouncer Joe Humphries was in fine form and kept the crown good natur- ed. The Lieutenant Governor was there, conspicuous in tuedo. Major r.. l.. Darbie was also there and made an opening announcement in which he commended the enterprise ing promoter of the affair and prais- ed the institution it was designed to assist
