KEARNS' CAMP |GN
DEFIES CREDUL|TY
TripIe-TitIe Quest Fraught
With Complexities Due
to Bennie'S Beef.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n YEW YORK, August 49,
IN Benny Leonard versus Kid
/ Y Whoozis!
Boxing fans throughout
the country may expect to listen
to this announcement very short
ly. for the once great and popular
Benny Leonard has decided to
forget his mothers entreatieS to
give up the boxing racket.
Kid whoozis will not be the name
of Benny's opponent. but it win serve
because the type Of opponent Jack
Kearns will dig up for the retired. un-
defeated lightweight champion will be
nothing much to speak Of and even
less to boast about.
Kearns has few superiors as q bally-
hoo artist. You can depend on the
voIuble doctor to present more reasons
for one of his charges to step in and
grab the major portion OF the money
than any one connected with the fight
racket. Leonard is a smart one. He
knows what Kearns accomplished with
Jack Dempsey and Mickey Walker, and
as Benny is out for the money he nat
urally turned to Kearns. It Is q great
combination. But where will 1t wind up?
Doesn't Sound Right.
Kesrns declares he is out after the
lightweight, welterweight and middle
weight titles. 1t will be a great stunt
IL Benny can do 1t. The idea that
Leonard, who weighed more than $50
pounds when he started training three
months ago, can pare down TO l35
pounds is a little more than the trafle
in credulity can bear. Benny has been
out of the running for six years. He
was supposed to fight Mickey Walker
for the Welterweight title and took on
Pal Moran for tune-up battle. Leon
ard then passed this up by stating he
had sprained a thumb and could not
box again before the indoor season.
During the last two years of Leon
ards reign as lightweight king 1t was
often remarked that his build, body
and shoulder muscles were far too i'm
posing for a I35-pounder. In Benny's
return bout with Lew Tender july "a,
1929. Promoter Jimmy Johnston pulled
fast one on the boys. 1t was time
to weigh in and q gOodly crowd OF
fans and newspaper men were present
to get the accurate weights. Jimmy
entertained the boys in his ONCE while
Leonard and Tender slipped In q side
door.
Pulled Fast One
Reminded that it was after 2 o'clock
and that neither principal had showed
up, Johnston walked into his private
office and returned with typewriter
slips saying that both fighters had
weighed in and were below the light
weight poundage. When the boys
squared of that evening one fan was
heard to remark IF those fellows are
lightweights, so is the Sacred White
Elephant"
So Kearns expects to grab the light
weight title for Leonard! VIII wonders
never cease?
AS to the welterweight title, Kearns
is likely TO have a little feud on his
hands 1t Is known that Jackie Fields,

will regain the crown he obligtngly lost
to the colored battler. Then what
would Kearns do II two men under his
management fought IL out for the 147-
pound crown? Figure 1t out for your
self.
Kearns' admission that Leonard will
attempt TO claim the middleweight title
vacated by Mickey Walker leads one
to suspect that Benny doubts the
wisdom Of whiting down too fine.
The local pride cherishes the splen-
did record he made within the squared
circle and would do nothing rash, no
matter how much money was involved.
Leonard may agree to q sucker tour
for the purpose Of learning to his own
satisfaction how much Of his old abil-
ity he retains, but it Is q cinch that
he will not 60 unless he Is positive
that he is giving the fans run for
their money.
Britton Has an Idea.
Leonards return to warfare brings
up the question Of his finances. II
place golden dollars lost In Wall Street.
This writer was talking to Jack Brit
ton when the story of Leonard's come
back was broadcast. Jack Is in the
same hole as Benny. Both need the
money. Britton offered . suggestion.
He said
Leonard ct IS Is gambling his
splendid record against the money he
can make out Of the tour. Benny may
fool them all by making good against
the boys today. Anything can happen
in the prize ring I think the fans
would go for meeting Of old-tlmers

CASH BUYING.

NEW YORK. October Especially -
While not in the proportions of other
periods of market weakness. cash buy
ing has helped to absorb some of the
liquidation by individuals and institu-
tons in the stock market in the past
few days. One important stock ex-
change house with correspondents over
the country stated today that its buy
ing for cash in the first half of this
week amounted to $4,000 shares and
that each days total was larger than
that of the previous day. This demand
is still going on.
1t is significant that every list of
corporation stockholders published
shows an increase in the number of
shareholders in individual corporations.
in spite of the fact that the stocks Of
these companies have been declining
for nearly year and many of their
dividends have been reduced or
omitted Apparently there is still con-
siderable body Of investors who have
faith in the future and are willing to
buy stocks at the present debated basis
to average down the cost of those
purchased either prior to 1929 or during
the major breaks that have occurred
since then.

STATISTICAL STUDY
URGED BY SAWYER
Federal Board Director Be-
Iieves Analysis Necessary to
Improved Business.

Economists and Statisticians were
reported Thursday by D. A. Sawyer
director of the new Federal Employ
ment Sterilization Board, as having ex-
perienced a trying time in convincing
American business men that the treat
ment of fundamental facts, as we'll as
current events, can contribute basic in
formation as an assurance against I'M
sound impulses in commercial life.
Sawyer was addressing a group of
representatives Of the Institute of
Builders Of Great Britain in session
here. 1t marked his first public speech
since taking charge of the newly created
board, designed as a medium to gather
complete figures Of construction, CO.
incident with the Interpretation of ex-
isting barometers of business so as to
anticipate conditions which might
effect employment.
Fluctuation In Industry.
He asserted that American industry
was continuously in a state of f1uctua-
ton to an extent that rigidity Of
requirements might easily dampen the
ardor of creative genius and prove a
detriment rather than an accelerate in
the. production and distribution of de-
sirable commodities for which market
may be found.
What seems to be in the mind of
thinking men who advocate improved
practices" he said, lis self-analysis of
man and business, derived from re-
sponsible information underlying both
prosperity and depression periods and
adaptable to industry as now conSti-
tuted.
| When the affairs of an individual
or corporation are booming so as to be
contemplated with satisfaction, little
patience is accorded those Who preach
self-analysis and a thorough study Of
all practices which may affect a given
line of activity. When facing hard
times. enthusiasm fades to gloom, and
the preoccupation necessary to steady
the boat leads to an examination of
affairs
Sawyer said a more thorough and
persistent study of statistical reports
should not eventuate into an atmos-
phere Of gloom. nor an atmosphere of
overoptimism, but rather an apprecia-
tom Of the genuine. In order that the
resourcefulness Of the institution and
the inventive genius OF the personnel
