capable players, who provided most OF
the teams batting strength last season,
have been lost by graduation, Among
the holdovers from 1881, however, are
some boys who showed considerable
promise. Western had virtually new
team last year.

LEONARD RETAINS
RING CLEVERNESS
Ex-LightWeight King Wins
Over Mcmahon at Boxing,
but Doesn't Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, March Down the
M splintery aisle Of rickety little
| fight club, St. Nicholas Arena,
where the balconies hang down
over the ring and dollar buys re-
served seat, stalked an old familiar fig
ure in an old familiar raggedy bath
robe-Benny Leonard. undefeated light
weight champion of the world.
1t was "Benneh," coming back to seek
the glory he knew more than 10 years
ago.
His comeback started last Summer,
but last night was the first genuine test
Climbing in through the other side of
the ring was Bill Mcmahon from the
West Side, young, rough and tough, un-
dismayed.
Benny sided out, thick about the body,
but not fat, for all the world like the
old Leonard except for the front of his
head, where the hair was carefully
combed to disguise its thinness.
Mcmahon rushed in, wild-swinging
youth, and up went both Of Bennys
arms, catching the punches. They
danced in the open, Benny lightly
poised on his toes, and left jabs spat-
tered all over the young Irishman's
features.
So it went, with slight variations,
through 10 rounds, the old man Of the
ring boxing beautifully, outmaneuvering
outthinking the eager Irishman. holding
him tight when danger threatened.
But it was shaky Leonard in spots,
Leonard that tired easily. But even
so, Benny won 8 Of the 10 rounds,
though several we're very close.
He weighed 1914 pounds, far above
the 1873 he used to make for his light
weight title defenses. McMahcn
weighed 149 pounds.

B|CENTENN|AL RING
BOUTS QUITE TAME
GeIb Victor in CoIorIess Final.
Lawson Gives Best
Entertainment.

TISTS few, often with telling effect,
r. in the stately Ritchie Coliseum
at University of Maryland last
night, but the crowd that turned
out for the District Bicentennial Sports
Committees first show failed to get
much kick from the ring performances.
Each of the five bouts went the limit,
with only three being more than mild
affairs, and that did not go well with
the boys who expect everything in a
fighting way when they pay their hard
coin through the ticket window.
A mystifying decision following the
second bout of the evening did much to
take the edge off the affair for the
nearly $500 fans present. ,482 paid
and when the final came on they were
in no mood to be satisfied with an
exhibition that needed only an orcheS-
ira to convert it into a dance hall
feature
Orchestra Would Have Helped.
Mkt Gelb of the Bronson stable, said
to have been bantam champion OF
Hungary at one time, and Dick Welsh,
pride of CRANKY street, Norfolk, did the
toe dancing in the wind-up. Welsh did
not appear disposed to mix it with his
opponent and Gelb was utterly unable
to give the bout any color. However,
the New York Hungarian managed to
hit often and solidly enough to get an
eight-round decision.
That fuzzy decision came after Al
Trainor of Philadelphia, and Billy
Strlckler of this town, diversified middle
weights, plugged through eight rounds.
Trainor was all over Strickler much of
the first seven rounds and though Billy
came back for rousing finish he looked
loser in every way. But decision
in Strickler's favor proved everybody
except the judges and the referee wrong.
Lawson Aroused Crowd.
Eric Lawson, the Newport News
Swede. and Vince Forgione, Philadel-
phia, fighting In the 1905, aroused the
crowd more than any other pair. Law
son showed lightning left jab and a
furnishing left hook and battered For
g1one freely. Forgione, who displayed
ability to take plenty, was careless With
his swings and several times landed low.
These blows all but had Lawson out II
the eighth, but the Swede got a well
deserved decision.
Louis Jallos of Cleveland got back at
Bobby Burns of Baltimore for the treat
ment received in their recent bout at
Alexandria when Burns was an unpopu-
lar victor. AL decisive rounds OF the
eight in the semi-windup went to Jallos.
The Cleveland lightweight showed
plenty Of speed beating Burns to the
punch.
Pete Powell, the Newport News sailor,
and Joey Schwartz of Baltimore, ban
tams. opened the show with a FOUL
round draw.
The gate totaled $4.16o, but after the
boxers and the Maryland State Athletic
Commission got their cuts little was left
for the Bicentennial Sports Committee.

DLOXI, Miss, March 1.-Of
X the seven tremulous young
u men here battling for pitch
ing and catching berths on
the Washington ball club, least
seems to be known of the hurting
possibilities Of young Mike De-
laney, the Chicago right-hander.
Mixes introduction to the club
occurred in Chicago, at the White
Sox park, last Summer, when he
blandly walked into the Griff club
house and asked Walter Johnson
to give him a trial with the outfit.
Walter sent the player out with Ed
Charity for trial spin on the mound
and Eddie's report influenced Walter to
ask Mike to report to training camp
at Biloxi this year.
Prior to the slim workout at the Sox
park Mike had gone South with the
boston Braves, under McKechnie, the
tutor and boss of the feathered tribe
who likes his men seasoned.
His sojourn at st. Petersburg In
1891 1Uds short. He SerUed up teW
to the b1tters for the BrdDes and
then tods let loose Dtth the ddDice
to get more seasoning.
And that's what the Chicago college
boy is trying to do down here. Hoping
that he can attain enough polish to
get q berth somewhere in base ball
during the coming season.
After looking him over at Chi,
Johnson sent him to Youngstown,
where Mike reported just as the
season was closing. He won one and
lost one.
Down here in the grapefruit circuit
the chestnut-haired, trim-built rookie
has yet had no chance to show what he
possesses. With the others, Johnson
has kept him down to light throwing
and it will not be until the latter part
of the week before any sort of line
on his capabilities will be garnered.
Mike is graduate of St. Viator
NOescSC, S'etCdSO, Ass.J OIScTc hc
starred in base ball, basket ball and
foot ball. He tDGs both an outfelder
and pitcher at school and is said
to be able to clip the ball little
better than most young throtDers.
He played In the backfield on the
grid eleven and was rated as being
fast, shifty and smart. In basket ball
he was a guard, later entering the
game as an official in Chicago.
During the Summer he attended
classes at the American College of
Physical Education in Chicago,
where he prepared to take up physi-
cal tutoring should his base bali

finesse in contractual

better illustrated than

NOU can't beat the other
fellow at his own game.
Realization of this well
established fact was brought
home to Prof. Champ Pickens
as result Of the fight show
staged at Ritchie Coliseum last
night.
Lining up what appeared, on
paper, to be the claSsiest ring
card ever presented in this
section, Pickens today found
that a prodigious expenditure
of time and energy had netted
only a paltry few hundred dol
lars.
As a result, 1t is safe to say
that the Bicentennial Sports
Committee, of which he is
chairman and for benefit of
which the show was staged,
will worry along in the future
without recourse to boxing for
revenue.
Of to a slow start, and fin
ishing the same way, the card
proved a disappointment to the
ringworms, many of whom in
dicated their appraisal by
walking out before the pro-
gram was completed.
Only two of the five bouts,
none of which produced a
knockdown, was at all inter
esting, but one of them at
least proved something-the
Jallos- Burns affair.
In this the Greek from
Cleveland again demonstrated
he is a better boy than the
Baltimorean which confirms
the impression formed by a
majority Of the customers who
saw their first clash at Port
ner's two weeks ago, when the
referee ruled otherwise.
