Sensational Battle Ex
pected When Light
; weight King Faces
; Clever Opponent
By RODEHT W. MAXWELL
FOU tho flrat time In many years
Freddy Welsh, lightweight clmmplon,
will be on tho Bhort end of tho hotting
when ho meets Benny Leonard nt tho
Garden tonight. Billy Gibson's Intent
sensation nlrendy has
been awarded tho
title by tho wise citi
zens who veto In the
vlllngo near Brook
lyn, a n il m n n y
wagers liavo been
made with reckless
abandon. A sen
sational tmttlo Is ex
pected, nnd another
Wlllard-Moran turn
out Is predicted on
alt sides
This la tho first
real scrap Freddy
will Indulge In slnco
winning tho crown
from Hltchlo In Lon-
-!Qti3i
rt. W HAXWBU.
i don two years ago.
Tho Dear Old Pubtlo was getting tired of
his tango peffo.'manca with carefully re
jected pork and bean athletes In vnrlmt'i
parts of the country, and tho champion
Vlrtunlly was forced Into the match, How
... TTrAilfltf Id In nvnrtllnnt rririr 1tn
IB wind Is good and ho has developed a
strong pair or legs in mean no ucciston
pink teas.
Plenty of Action
'There will bo plenty of action In to
night's scrap, ns tho fato of boxing in
New York hangs In tho balance. Agita
tion over tho Wlllard-Moran fight con
. ttnucs, and although the majority of
thoso present Saturday night wcro con
vinced that both men did their best, tho
foes of tho fistic art lire doing their best
to convince them that they can't bellevo
what they see. At any rate, tho cash
customers now are getting dubious nbout
world's championship contests, nnd will
carefully scrutinize every action of tho per
formers this evening. There Is ro doubt
but that tho boxers will do their best.
If Freddy Welsh puts up ono of his
usual Philadelphia performances, ho Is
dono as a drawing card In tho big league.
But If he fights tho way he did against
Franklo Whitney in New York last Fri
day night ho Is bound to regain some of
his lost popularity. Freddy stopped Whit
ney In flvo rounds and acted llko a regu
lar knockout artibt. IIo took a punch to
land one, was constantly on top of his
foe and never let up on the slam-bang
stuff until the referee called a halt.
Leonard Has Wallop
Leonard Is clover, has a knockout wal
lop concealed In clthor hand and alwnys
gives tho spectators n run for their money.
Ho Is popular In New York, and his fol
lowers nro confident ho will slip over tho
haymaker before tho battlo Is over.
It Is his ability to punch hard that has
made Leonard tho favorlto In the title
tilt tonight. When ho knocked out Joo
Mandet and followed It by stopping Joo
Welsh, Phil Bloom, Jimmy Murphy and
others, Benny Jumped Into tho limelight
and has remained over since. IIo has
been clamoring for a match with Welsh,
and now that his wish has been gratified
he probably will mako tho most of It.
Tho top prlco for seats Is 57, and gen
eral admission Is from $1 to $3. The
lower priced seats, which nro not ic
served, will bo placed on salo late this
afternoon, and a detail of polico has been
engaged to keep tho crowd In order. Only
a fow reserved scats remain to be dis
posed of.
McGuigati lias New One
Jack McOulgun will spring another now
ono tomorrow night In Billy Do Foe, of
St. Paul. Mr. Do Foe nppoars In the
wlndup of an all-star show, nnd is slated
to go on with Eddlo Morgan, of England.
Morgan made a favorable Impression two
Weeks ago, when he boxed six sensational i
sessions with Irish Patsy Cllne. On paper
It looks llko a good bout. Tommy Buck,
who has been "resting" hero for tho last
eight weeks, gots his first chance to show
how ho has Improved when ho makes his
bow In the seml-wlndup with Eddie Wal
, lace.
Johnny Tillman, of Minneapolis, who Is
said to have defeated Ad Wolgast and
other well-known boxers, nlso makes his
Initial appearance. lie will mix It up
with Buck Fleming In tho third bout.
K. O. Sullivan, of Allentown, and K. O.
Baker, of Wilmington, two slamming.
hard.hlttlngm!ddlewclghts, will fight It
out In one oftthe earlier bouts.
Two bantams will endeavor to make
good at 'the Olympia next Monday night
and put forth their best efforts to regain
the laurels they lost at that club. They
are Pete Herman, who held Kid Williams
to a draw and later was outpointed by
Lew Tendler, und Eddie O'Keefe, who
boxed for nothing tho last time ho was on
the card. Tho boys are evenly matched
and a fast bout should result. Tho wlndup
also should be good, as Benny Kauffman,

tenm's winning of tho Intercollegiate
League championship, has been re-elected
to lead the Quaker quintet next year. It
will bo McNIchol's third year on the var

quet last night. Kddle was nosed out for
individual scoring honors for the season
by Kinney, of Yale, nfter he had been on
top until the last week of the season.
Speaking of the general all-round show
ing of the team this year, McNIchol gave
his teammates nil tho credit at tho ban
quet. He said: "It's not ono or two men
who win tho basketball games, but all five
who aro playing. All tho members of the
team should recelvo tho same amount of
credit, as they all aro deserving of It."
Not only Is McNIchol a basketball play
er, but he Is a star on tho diamond as
well, having played on tho varsity nine
last year. It Is hardly possible this season
that he will be nble to play baseball on
account of tho strenuous work lit the en
