THE only thing thnt kept Bonny Leon
ard from winning tho lightweight cham
pionship of the world In Mndlson Squnro
Garden last night waB the absence of a
referee's decision. Had ono been given
Freddy Welsh would
have been deprived
of his, oovotoil
crown, for the New
York lightweight out
pointed, outpnnched
and outgeneraled tho
veteran tltlcholder In
10 of tho most thrll
ling rounds seen hero
In many a day.
It was Leonard
from start to flnUh
nnd at tho end tho
verdict was unani

satisfied that Benny
outdistanced
longs.
Mr. "Welsh by several fur-
All Leonard
Taking tho battlo by and large, It
showed up Freddy nnd showed him up
worse than over before. The youngster
with only 19 years behind him, proved
to be tho moro clever of tho two, kept
his head better nnd acted llko a cham
pion Bhould act. Freddy dtd not have
a chance after tho first mlnuto of tho
first round and It took all of hlB crafti
ness and experionco to save himself from
being knocked out. WcIbIi resembled an
old battle-scarred bulldog, fighting a clean
cut, confldont young prize winner, who
could sea nothing ahead but victory.
Tho battlo last night explained to nil
of thoso present tho reason Freddy has
indulged In so many no-declslon battles
against tho weakest opponents that could
be selected. Welsh has scon his best days ;
he Is on tho down-grndo and hanging on to
tho championship llko a drowning man
clutches a straw. In a Bhort tlmo he will
loso tho title, but until then ho will
squeeze as much money ns posstblo out
of It
Welsh lost considerable prestige last
i night He Is dono ns a card nnd It Is up
to him to accept tho Inevitable. Ho must
tako on harder foes. Billy Gibson, man
ager of Leonard, said after tho battle that
ho would try to forco Freddy Into a longer
battle. If ho tries hard enough, tho cham
pion will h.ivo to accept, and If ho docs
.Benny Leonard will knock him out.
Welsh n Dub
Had tho tnbles been reversed, that Is,
If Leonard had been champion nnd Welsh
the challenger, Freddy would have been
called the rankest dub that over fought
for a tltla. Thoso aro harsh words, but
when a stripling can get Into .a ring with
a champion and mnke lilm look llko n
Becond-rater, tho stripling must bo good.
Freddy Welsh Is clover. Wo nil know
that, but hla clevcrnoss availed him noth
ing when Leonard began to shoot
straight left and right hooks to the head
and body. Welsh could not dodge them,
and when tho bout Was over tho. cham
Mlon wo hate to call him that was
Weeding from tho noso and mouth, ho wna
cut over tho eye and his face and body
had taken tho rosy color of n vivid sun
set In addition to that Welsh wns tired.
In fact, ho was "all In" at the finish and
hobbled from tho ring llko a G. A. It
athlete after a hard march.
There, Is no comparison between last
night's conflict and the expcnslvo per
formance put on by tho Wlllard-SIoran
Company a week ago. Leonard and Welsh
showed class; so did Willard and Moran,
but It was steerage. Tho big guys quail
fled for one of tho preliminaries, but that
was all.
.Silence Greets Fred
iliero was sawdust on tho floor at the
rden. and there wns a circus atmo
sphere all over the place. Evidently tho
management tried hard to get things In
shape to make Willard feel at homo last
week, but got their dates mixed. Per
haps If Willard had appeared after tho
trained elephants ho would have made
a bettor showing. But that was last
week, and only the agitators who wero not
at tho bout are trying to remember that
It was a sad affair-
Benny won the popular doclslon by 40
seconds before tho battle began. Tho
crowd cheered him for a full minute,

MAXWELL
while Welsh was tendered only 20 sec
onds of applause. When Freddy left the
ring they clipped 20 seconds off his first
ovation.
Welsh tried every trick known to tho
boxing game before and during the battle.
Ho allowed Leonard to enter tho ring
first nnd then wait until ho arrived.
Benny waited 10 minutes, but Instead of
getting norvous, which was according to
Hoyle, ho talked to his seconds nnd the
newspaper men nt tho ringside. It was
tho snmo stunt pulled by Yale several
years ngo when tho football team kept
Princeton waiting on tho field IB minutes
at tho beginning of tho second half. The
only difference was that Yale got away
with It nnd won tho game,
Leonard Confident
Bonny retained his confidence through
out the 10 sessions. Ho fought a hard,
careful battle, made tho majority of blows
count and refused to bo drawn Into any
traps set by tho wiled champion, Instead
he feinted Welsh, made him swing wildly
and miss lots of blows and stepped In nt
tho proper tlmo with a straight left or a
right hook. Uenny weighed 132 pounds,
whllo Welsh tinned tho beam at 136,
but the youngster made up for tho lack
of weight with his aggressiveness.
In the early rounds Leonard got a big
lead, and In the sixth had tho champion
In bad shape. He "rocked him with his
left Jabs and hooks, straightened him up
with a terrific right tipporcut and was
measuring him off for that crushing right
when tho bell ended tho round.
Welsh Gets Beating
Bo'nny kept after his man In tho seventh
and, whllo tho crowd yolled and shrieked
for a knockout, ho battered tho veteran all
over the ring, Freddy forgot his wonder
ful defense, his faco was smeared with
blood, his legs wabbly and ho fell Into
a clinch to snvo himself from further
punishment. Ho could not get out of the
wny of that stinging left nnd ho took n
beating that would have put an ordinary
fighter down for tho count.
As "Muggsy" Taylor remarked, "Ho's
a smaller edition of Joo Grim. You enn
hit him with everything Including tho
water bottlo and you can't stop him."
And Muggsy Is right.
It wna a glorious victory for Leonard.
It was tho beginning of tho end for
Freddy Welsh. One moro battle llko that
of last night will snap hla remaining
speed and stamina and ho will travel on
tho same road with Battling Nelson, Ad
Wolgnst and others who Ignored the call
of Father Time.

Just aching to get It out ot his system.
This number probably will result In a

Kaufman Has the Floor
"J think I heard some one say that
Every doc has his day,' " said littlo
Benny Kaufman today before he started
to put finishing touches on his training,
preparatory to his mix with Lew Tend

I ain't a dog, but my day Is coming Mon
day. If I ever said anything truer, than
Philadelphia will be proud of Its legiti

"Certainly," continued Ben, "I expect
to win and not only win, but make Mr.
Tendler wish that lie had an engagement
muoh more Important than to box 18
minutes with me. There are going to be
quite a number of wiser men right hero
In Phllly about 10:25 Monday night.
Soyie persons can't figure how Tendler
can help but beat me.
"Something else I think I once was
toldt 'Actions bpeak louder than words,'

GOLF WEATHER
Tale

By GRANTLAND
(Note TIiIh series will tukn up the piny
of lending American Hiiinteur golfers. It
will nnt bo bloKriiplilrnl nr Motlntlcnl, but
rntlirr In the nature of random obnervn
tlnns un Home nf the wnys unit achieve
ments uf our lending golf stars.)
It may bo that neither will over win
nn amateur championship. It may bo
that both will. It Is nlmost a ccrtnlnty
that ono of them will, as they aro both
of championship class.
But tho point Is that there Is a cer
tain sou of contest on botweon Max
Mnrston and Phil Carter as to which
will bo tho first to win nn nmateur
crown.
They stnrtcd about tho same tlmo;
they havo been rlvnls for most of the
distance, nnd they stand out as tho two
star playurB of tho younger generation
Just reaching tho top. Mnrston has never
yet been able to beat Carter in a tour
nament, but ho has achieved about as
much In tho way of fnmo nnd has about
tho same chanco to finish first In tho blue
ribbon of American golf.
Marston's Rise
Marston is undoubtedly a flno young
golfer. Ills gamo has had but one real
weakness, nnd that was overswlnglng
tho Irons. But he had such wonderful
rhythm. In making this stroke that tho
weakness failed to wreak as much dam
age to his gamo as It would havo to
most players. But this winter ho has
been working hard at IndAor play to
shorten his swing on a 100 or a 125
yard pitch and correct the defect.
Mnrston Is of the tall and rangy type,
with a fine wallop from tho tee. a good,
long gamo in general and a good putting
touch. To show how swiftly he has como
forward, take tho record of his last two
years:
At Ekwnnok, In 1914, he was beaten by
Francis Oulmet, tho winner of the title, 1
down. At Baltusrol last summer in the
open ho led all amatours with the excep
tion of Jerry Travers. beating out both
Oulmet and Evans. He won tho Jersoy
State championship by almost unbeatable
golf. At Detroit In the fall he beat Gull
ford, Travers and Lee In succession, all
three hard men to grapple with, and only
lost to Bob Gnrdner by missing a lG-lnch
putt. In addition to this ho won three
invitation tournaments.
Carter's Chance
Carter has come forward as swiftly as
Marston has. He lacks tho tall Jersey
man's physique, but at Iron play his game
Is sounder. And Carter, like Mnrston, Is
a fine putter and at his best in a hard
match.
No amateur In the game plays an Iron
any better than this young nephew of
Dutch Carter, the old Yale star. There
Is a definite crlspness In his stroke that
belongs to the best professional play.
The peculiar feature of Carter's game
Is the number ot useless waggles ho takes
from the tee and the quickness and lack
of waste he shows on the green,
As a rule, any nervousness on the part
of a golfer shows moro at putting than
anywhere else. It Is here that tho nerv
ous type usually fiddles around. But
there Is no such uncertainty of nervous
ness to Carter's game on the green, Not
even Travers qr, Travis Is any surer at
a 4-foot or a 6-foot putt, one of the most
trying of all shots. A 4, or a 6-footer in
a flight match has probably gotten more
golfing goats than an other part of the
game, but It never bothers Carter In the
Wayside
t
&S?,GJZfi.
o
RICE
slightest. Yet, on tho tee or In any full
shot, he 'Js unnblo to swing at tho ball
until ho has taken exactly seven prelim
inary waggles of the club, four long ones
and thrco short ones.
1916 Chances
As both Max nnd Phil expect to play
In most of tho leading tournaments
nround tho metropolitan district this
Bprlng nnd summer nnd fall, they aro
pretty sure to win moro than a few,
Last year they won no fewer than eight
golt tonrnnments between them whero
tho fields wero llrst class. So far Carter
has won four Pinehurst tournaments for
a 19 1G starter, nnd while the fields he
faced and left behind were not any too
strong, tho gamo that the winner played
would havo given the best In tho land a
battle. His game nt Pinehurst ranged
from GG to 81, but most ot It was around
73, which Is good enough to get there.
It Is not at all unlikely that either
Marston or Carter will win the Metro
politan championship at Knssau this sum
mer, and that both will at least flguro
strong In tho amateur at Merlon. Either
has as good a chanco as any other one
entry from tho big field, nnd tho experi
ence they have gotten tho last two years
will bo a big help for them when tho new
campaign starts.
They have had moro tournament expe
rience now than most men get In ten
years' play, so there Is no chanco thnt
olther's game will be affected by any
variety of stage fright.
If you should recall any remark made
about their play It Is well to remember
that both are good putters.

SEVERAL TRAP SHOOTS
"Spring has came."
Yes, It really ble,w In this morning nnd
opened Philadelphia's 1916 outdoor Foa
son. Olllclntly, the -.crnal quarter began
In March, but sports do not follow the
seasons so closet)'. Outdoor athletics be
gin well, they begin when they do, and
they did today.
A number of eager golfers, who could
not wait nny longer, wero out early this
morning spoiling tho greens, digging up
tho fntrwayB and greasing up their vo
cabularies for a successful adjectival sea
son. Later In tho day a few, very fow,
however, local tennis sharks strolled on
to tho courts and attempted to, limber up
In tho open. None of tho courts were In
sliapo nnd tho best racquet wioldcrs got
woro soro arms and legs and broken
racquet strings.
It was Intended by tho University of
Pennsylvania baseball management to
havo a regular opening today nt Kranklln
Field, Inaugurating tho year with a base
ball game between 1''. nnd M. and the lied
nnd Blue. But tho field wns In such
wretched shape that the contest had to be
called off soveral days ago. However, tho
groundkecpers at Princeton havo been
busy nil week and tho diamond Is In shapo
for tho gmno this afternoon between the
Orango and Blnck and Villanova.
In the city tho baseball season will bo
ushered In with six scholastic games. Tho
most Important one of theso Is tho sched

As usual, there will be a number of
soccer games and several shoots in Phila

over a distance of ground, nnd tho policy
of making tho horses go n routo will ba
continued.
It was feared that tho Inaugural Handi
cap was going to suffer (or, want of start
crs, on account of tho backward condition
of tho horses, but It has brought out half'
n dozen smart ones, and under the weight
nrrangement It should be a, first-class con
test. Q. Mullor'fl Flittergold. the horso
bought from August Belmont last fall,
occupies the post of honor, with 113 pounds
ns his burden- Broomscdgc, ono that,
George Phillips today sold to H. E. T.,
Zotllcoffer, under whose' silks he will raco.
Is required to tako up 10S pounds.
Another rnco on tho program that is 'of
decided interest la the four-furlong dash
for 2-year-old maidens. Ten have been
named, nnd It will vory naturally marie tho
first racing nppenranco of several of thorn,,
Kor the most part tho new ones will be,
brought over from Bennlngs. though some
of them are already on the Bowlo grounds.
