BOLIVIAN THRONG
DEMANDS BOMBING.
Air Attack on Asuncion Seen
Way to Check Paraguayans
as Lines Yield.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, September 17.-An
aerial bombarcment of Asuncion, the
capital of Paraguay, was demanded to-
day by crowds of people here after re-
ports said Paraguayan troops were
bayonetting Red Cross stretcher-bearer
in the battle at Fort Boqueron, in the
Chaco.
The battle entered its ninth day to-
day and officials said the Bolivian flag
was still flying. The Bolivian Defend
erS of the fort, a high official said,
numbered about 1000, and they were
faced by between 5000 and 10000
Paraguayans, soldiers and civilians,
armed with all kinds of weapons.
(Reports that stretcher-bearerS were
being bayonetted were denied by Para
guayan officials at Asuncion)
Great crowds surged through the
streets last night shouting their de-
mand that the Bolivian air force wreak
retribution by bombing the Paraguayan
capital.
The reason for the difference in num-
bers of troops in the Fort Boqueron
battle, officials here said, is that Para
quay can transport troops from Asun-
cion to the battle ground in four days,
while Bolivia requires a month to move
men across the Pilcomayo River, which
is impossible for trucks because of the
deep sand.

 old leg injury, will return to this city where he will again be at
 home to his many friends. Another
 time limit battle will show Abe Coleman, Kansas City Hebrew, against Frank Brunowicz. Polish ace, while one other good opener will round out the evenings enter tainment.

 United Press Stan Correspondent.
 New York, Aug 26.-(UP)- Whats in a name besides, perhaps, mess of consonants and vowels? Well, Benny Leonard's was worth just $65,O00 to him during the past 12 months, that being the amount he has accumulated since hitting the comeback trail.
 You don't have to be told that Benny's name earned the 65 grand. Had he adopted an alias and sport ed 8 pair of pink whiskefs to hide his classical features, Leonard would have been lucky to have wound up with enough for a shave and haircut. But Benny was smart. He realized his name was more po- tent than his fists, So capitalized to the fullest extent on the eLon- ard that used to be.
 It won't do any good to try and put the old bite on Benny. He doesn't know where the money is. i've learned my lesson," he ex- plained. When I quit the game ten or so years ago had some thing like quarter of a million dollars. Then-pouf-it was gone. HlS Illlc ! NC 6ot IL oo well hidden I can't even find it my self"
 Now, $65,00O is a very elegant lump of money for anybody to make in a year. For a boxer who is getting bald, and whose best years are a decade or more re- moved, it's downright remarkable. But Leonard isn't satisfied. He's l,:. h. o~f ~noaynrfnO that original quarter-m million that went pouf! in the market. Whether he gets 1t or not, depends on one per son-that apple checked, dynamite seeking broth of 8 lad, Jimmy Me- Larnin.
 Leonard meets McLarnin in the Gardens hole-in- n-the-ground Octo- Der 3. If he catches one of Jim- mys rights on the old potato, he's done for in big company. Of course he can keep on picking up crumbs in the small clubs, but Leonard isn't geared to that sort of busi- ness. But if he whips McLarnin- we'll, he can pretty well write his own ticket. A victory over Me- Larnin and Leonard would reap a golden harvest that would make him forget all about the sugar that went pouf!
 There is no doubt in Leonard's mind about his ability to whip Me- Larnin. "The Vancouver Irish man." Leonard explains, "a first of all a boxer. He can slug, yes, but his hitting Is secondary to his boxing. And something tells me he can't outbox me. McLarnin boxes according to schedule. That is, he shoots punches when he should and from where he should. That makes him less dangerous than these boys like Townsend and Walker who throw from anywhere, anytime"
 Leonard saw McLarnin lose to Brouilliard and didn't think much of the fight Jimmy put up. But Benny, we believe, forgets one thing; McLarnin hit Brouillard hard enough and often enough to drop any fighter in the business other than the Worcester bull. If McLarnin hits Leonard one-tenth as many licks, old Bennah is going out there feet first. Townsend had Benny groggy twice. And Town sends right is as but a powder puff to a hand grenade, compared to Jimmys starboard weapon.

 Carey had been depending upon this unusual mound procedure to protect the Dodgers weak spot while his powerful hitters over whelmed the Cubs. Flatbush fans were amazed at the two defeats, because this method of mixing, the hurlers and parading them to the mound in surprising numbers had enabled the Dodgers to stage a sensational winning streak, boost ing them from seven to second place in the National league.
 Three to One
 Carey scrambled up four pitch CTS yesterday, but the Dodgers were smothered by the Cubs, 9 to 3, enabling Chicago to increase its first place lead to five and one-half games over Brooklyn.
 William Watson Clark was bat ted from the mound in the fourth inning, a tragic frame for Brooklyn as the Cubs tallied six runs, and Carey selected this inning for Ed Pipgras to make his major league debut. The Cubs garnered four runs off Ed, and then the venerable Jack Quinn was summoned from the bull pen. He quelled the up- rising. Fay Thomas replaced Quinn in the sixth.
