ThiM&SportsMPage&Omajuig f Leonard's Title Safe for Present; Mary Browne Proves Brawn Can Fail Old-Timer Tear-In Sort of Bat tler Only One Who Stands Chance With Light weight Champ. By RINGSIDE. , Chicago, Sept. 1. What manner of man is ever going to take the measure of this young Hebrew boy who now holds the lightweight title? Opinions vary as much on this question as they do on any that ever came up in the boxing game. It looks from a scrutiny of the Leonard record that the rough and ready, old-time tear-in sort of battler has been the bird to worry Benny more than any one else. The punchless clever fellows fait rapidly. Benny seems to have no fear of them. Note what he did with Richie Mitchell, than whom there is no more skilled boxer in this country. And when Benny annexed the title he put the old K. O. on a master, and nothing short of a master. Welsh was one of the world's most remarkable boxers, all things considered. And when Kilbane b considered we would say that Johnny i not to be slighted when the world's best boxers are mentioned. He has a wonderful brain and the faculty of making his muscles follow the dictates of his brain like a flash. Yet he really was knocked out by Leonard in less than a round, according to his own ad mission. Leonard never was able to hang that old K. 0. punch of his on the real tough ones. Take men of the Vic Moran .type and Regan and Joe Ate vedo, the Portugese boy. They do not pretend to be unusually endowed with skill, but they have copper riveted jaws and unflagging courage. They went ten rounds with Ben, and Joe did it twice. So did both Frankie Callahan and Stanley Yoakum. So did Ever Ham mer, although the latter was beaten two rounds further on. In the ten round battles every one of these men were going like whirlwinds at the finish with Ben, taking everything he had and wading in for more. He didn't seem to be able to dent them in the least, and almost every one knows that even a sucker should be able to hit Yoakum on the chin. The big question about Leonard is whether he js able to stand a punch, but the first thing to be done is to find a man who can hit Benny hard. Caddock Good Matrnan. It was interesting to talk with Clar ence Eklund, the Wyoming wrestler, just after he had left the ring in which Earl Caddock gave him a se vere lesson at Carroll, h. As is cus tomary in such cases, the Joser sat all alone in his little tent, while the winner, a hundred feet away, was surrounded by a howling mob of Iowa fans. ; Eklund was, blue, ' figuratively and literally. His" lips were purple as a result of a final head 8cissors that Caddock had put ort in murderous ianion, nweari ana, in fact, his whole head was sore, and he was crushed in spirit -at his quick defeat. It took a trifle over eighteen minutes to settle the whole thing. "This fellow is a terrible man," Eklund said. "I've wrestled Gotch, Mahmout, Stecher, and all of the best of them, but Caddock has a system that is all his own and truly wonder ful He has a trick of reversing on you that is baffling. I'm a good leg wrest ler, do as well with my legs a$ with my arms. He knew that, and kept reversed all the time, practically put ting my, leg work out of business. "Such leverage I never did ee. I was so busy trying to keep myfbal ance that I had no time to think of holds to try on him. By the simplest process he kept me off balance most of the time, and unless you are well braced you have; little chance of doing any offensive work. "His holds are peculiar. He gets them loose and gradually tightens. The more you squirm the tighter he gets you. I m a good side roller, but every time I tried one I went into something worse. He's a wizard; that's about all I can say of him. Caddock is a modest boy and no amount of adulation on the part of Iowa fans is goinff to spoil him. "What makes you a great wrest ler?'' I asked hint. ... "Darned if I know," he answered with a big grin. "Am I?" It's just natural with me, that's all. I never was shown anything much. No, that isn't so exactly. I got my head scis sors from Ernest Kartye. But the rest came to me, and as I remember it, I n-as as good the first time as I am now." White May Trim Leonard. ; Because his left hook- is the best adverfised punch in the world of box ing, Charley White believes he has a great chance of whipping Benny Leonard when the new champion gets wound to Riving him a match. Nate Lewis, who is the master mind behind the VIite hook, has some real Inside stuff all figured out in this proposed match. He believes that the advertising the punch has received will make it certain that Leonard will not put up his best battling against White. In fact, Lewis believes that the left hook, or the (car of it, will put Leonard s right hand completely out of com mission in an offensive way. Lewis thinks Leonard will glue his right glove tightly to his chin while he is hnxtnff White'. This is what Richie Mitchell did when he tackled the Chicago star. In consequence Mitchell had to fight a 1 itrictly one-handed battle. "Leonard has aVery good left hand, sut if he isn't free to use his right for offensive purposes, we will have a big shade the better of it going into the ing," is the way Lewis figures it. "You know what Benny will have trilled into him from the time the natch is made right up to the minute of starting: the fuss, don't you? Everybody will tell him to watch out for that left hook. He will get that left hook from morning to night, for breakfast. luncheon and dinner: hell let it every minute of the time he's awake, and he'll finally get to dream tnsr about it. "Leonard know that punch, will tear his consciousness away from him if it ever lands fairly. Therefore he'll keep his right tucked up against his chin and will be afraid to take it .way from there. He knows that the ,irst time he pulls it down or back to hit with it the old left is apt to come over to Kis chin with a bans:. ' Then away, goes his championship." Nimble Wrist and Quick Eye of California Princess Too Much for Molla Bjur- ' stedt's Strength. By JACK VEIOCK. New York, Sept. 1. Miss Mary K. Browne, the "slim princess of Cali fornia tennis, has proven that a nim ble wrist and a quick eye can triumph over brawn on the courts. Throughout the month of August Miss Browne and Miss Molla B.iur stedt, the wonder girl of Norway, traveled through the cast playing a series of matches for the benefit of the Red Cross. In order to stimulate interest in the matches and give the fair players something to work for a handsome silver coup, emblematic of the world's tennis championship for women, was hung up. Miss Browne won the cup by taking six out of a series of ten matches from the bronze-skinned Norse player and her triumph was all the greater because of the fact that she is of slight build when compared to the rugged Miss Bjurstcdt, who seems to radiate vigor by every movement she makes. During the week of the national patriotic singles tournament at For est Hills L. 1., these two girl players furnished some of the best tennis seen on the courts of the West Side club and this despite the fact that R. N. Williams, 2d, the national champion, and some of the best players in the country participated in the singles event. , The skill displayed by Misses Bjur stedt and Browne can be very favor ably compared with that of many good flayers of the other sex. Both are lightning fast in covering the courts and both drive viciously for women, often scoring with clean "aces." The fact that the California girl outplayed her Norwegian rival in the special series recalls their matches last winter in California, when Miss Bjurstedt was defeated on the asphalt courts of the Golden state by the former national cham pion. At the time, tennis followers in the east attributed Molia Bjur stedt's showing to the fact that the asphalt court was new to her, but since the east has seen the Califor nia girl outplay and outgeneral her sturdier rival on turf courts, we must take off our hats to her as the best in the land. ' Is Johnson Saving Arm? Many a base ball fan is wondering if Walter Johnson is saving his trusty pitching arm in anticipation of being sold to some other club before the season of 1918 rolls around. The famous speed ball merchant, who for a number of years has held the place once occupied by Joe Wood, as the speediest pitcher, in the game, has not been using the "smoke ball'' as frequently this season as in the past. Instead he has resorted to a slower curve ball and the change has been so noticeable as to cause com ment all around the American league. ; Playing with a losing club is dis couraging, at best, and the records for 1917 show that the Washington Senators have been anything but good run getters for any of their pitchers, Ferhaps the smoke ball ar tist figured that he owed it to himself and his club to nurse the wonder pitching arm along during a season when pennant chances were out of the question. At any rate, the bat ters have not been hunting the "bucket" as frequently this year as they did in past seasons when John son took the mound.

Directors of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball association are sorely puz zled. The directors strove with might and main for over a month in preparation for,the Class B city series games. But for some reason or other the fans failed to turn out in the de sired numbers. The quality of ball was great, but the patronage was bum. After all ex penses for the three games were de ducted only $200 was left to decorate the association's treasury. ' . N All season these amateurs played on the municipal lots, entertaining the fans gratis, and now that the as sociation needs a few jits to defray the expenses of sending the champs out of town, the directors feel the fans should reciprocate apd let loose of a few nickels, otherwise the di rectors will have to kidnap a few beauts and nail them to the popular down-town corners for the purpose of pinning a rose or tieing a ticket on your coat with the words "For the benefit of the destitute amateur ball tossers of Omaha." , The second course to determine National asaoclatlon, thai th National rules did not govern the closing dat of any league. .

Two thriller In the Greater Omaha league last Sunday. Oo for ten rouad be tween the Armour and Rambler and fourteen-lnnlng knotted debkt between the Holmes and Vletore. have suffered only thirteen defeats. Schupp's record is sixteen won and six lost, Sallee's thirteen and four and Benton's eleven and three. Sallee has won ten in a row. Benton, who had won nine straight, was charged with a defeat when the Cardinals beat the championship of the various classes will be served at Holmes park this afternoon under the auspices of the Omaha Amateur Base Ball asso ciation. The Sample-Hart Motor Co., champions of the Booster league, and the Trimble Bros. Juniors, champions of the Inter-City league, will lock horns at three and a half strikes. The winners of this arrangement will on next Sunday play the Jones Lunch team, Class C champions of St. Paul, at Omaha, and on the following Sun day journey to St. Paul, Minn., and play the same team. Both the Harts and Juniors compiled an enviable record this season and the winners are not giving out much dope on which is the best way to plunge. It will be remembered that last year the Beddeos, champions of the Booster league, were the favorites by a few blocks, but when the race was over the Krajicek Juniors, champs of the Inter-City league upset the dope and copped the championship. Lamp ing both lineups, fans that know the players would naturally lean toward the Sample-Harts, and with the ma jority they are the favorites, but you can never tell what will happen in a base ball battle. Anyway, followers of both squads are anticipating a nifty battle for supremacy between ! the baby leagues of the 'association.

The true tale has been learned from Pat Moran. Umpire Rigler and Pitcher Jacobs were of a different opinion on many of the Pirate's pitches, and the latter was peeved. Evers came to bat in the sixth with the bases filled and two out. Johnny tried to coax a pass and the count was two balls and one strike when Jake offered a doubtful pitch. Johnny insisted it was a ball, but Rigler called it a strike. "How about that pitch, Jake; wasn't it a ball?" shouted the Quaker second baseman after flying out on the next one. ' "It certainly was," replied Jacobs, who was smarting over other deci sions. "There you are, now!" yelled John ny m glee, as he looked at Rigler. "You're finished for the day," was the answer from the umpire. And then they wonder why a lot, of people want the umpires curbed! Gandil's Legs May Be Bad, But His Right Hook is True ' Pitcher Loren Bader of the Red Sox made remarks about the crippled lees of Chick Gandil of the White Sox in one of the games of the recent series in Chicago. Whereupon Bader discovered that Gandil s legs may be on the bum, but that his fists are still able to deliver, for Gandil hit Bader knock that put him out for three mint"s hv the clock.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 1. Ohio will be the center of the boxing map Labor day. There will be stxty-two rounds of boxing served Ohio devo tees of the sport. Four contests, two of them fairly important, 'complete the program for the Buckeye state. The events are: Carl Morris against Fred Fulton, heavyweights, fifteen rounds, at Can ton. v Ted Lewis against Johnny Griffiths, welterweights, twenty rounds, at Ak ron. Gus Christie against Tom Gibbons, middleweights, fifteen rounds, at Day ton. Vic Moran against Bryan Downey, welterweights, twelve rounds, at Co lumbus. The fu'teen-round setto between the giant heavyweights, Morris and Ful ton, will, of course, command chief interest, as the winner probably will be in line for a championship smash at Jess Willard. Matt Hinkel of Cleveland, one of the promoters of the contest, announces that he has obtained a promise from Wiilard to meet the victor in a twenty-round af fair. Hinkel offered the champion ?oO,0(X) for this match. More than 400 pounds of flesh and bone will collide when Fulton and the big Oklahoman begin whaling away in the Canton arena. Fulton plans entering the ring weighing about 215 pounds. Morris will be about five pounds heavier. They trained in Cleveland for ten days and then moved on to Canton to put finishing touches on their condition. The contest will be decided in the Canton base ball park in the after noon. The promoters expect the gate receipts to total near the $2S,000 Clemons. Wichita. 86 O'Doul, Des Molncs.18 Stiles, Lincoln 3 Cain. Denver v . . . .18 Rook, Denver 8 Zink.

Cleveland will send a big dele gation and followers of the sport art coming on from other .Ohio citit . as well as Chicago. Milwaukee urn Minneapolis. , ' Third Meeting. The battle will be the ihird meet ing between thes big fellows. Hk;; previous encounters were ten-round affairs. The first was fought in Hud ton, Wis., and the second in New York. Morris was declared the win ner on fouls .in both contests. Crit ics say that Fulton is the stiffer puncher and probably more clever than his foe. Second in importance to the heavy weight row is the meeting between Ted Lewis, the welterweight cham pion, and Johnny Griffiths of Akron. The contest, although for twenty rounds, will not carry a decision. It will be the first time in years tha't a contest over the twenty-round route will have been fought without a ver dict from the third man in the ring. Griffiths is regarded as one of the leading welters in the country. Vic Moran. a New Orleans welter weight, will attempt to polish off Bryan Downey, a Columbus product, at the Ohio capital. Downey, al though a newcomer in the welter weight ranks, has won most of his engagements. While Tom Gibbons is tacing ous Christie, a Milwaukee middleweight, in Dayton lus brother, mikc, win pe exchanging punches with Jack Dil lon, the Indianapolis light heavy weight, in a Terre Haute, Ind., ring.

Meanwhile down in Mobile he is likely to be called to account because he didn't register there.

Report has it that he is taking the "rest cure." Another story has it that he has a charley horse and so on. The inference must be that Sam Vick has some thing wrong with him.
