Leonard Is a product of the Hast Side
Considering the fact that he has never had
any tuition In the art of fisticuffs, his
progress has been little less than marvelous.
Leonard did not enter the sport-glare over
night It took him several years to grad
uate from the prelim, claps, until now he
has developed into one of tho cleverest men
that evei wore padded gloves. Also, Leonard
has uncorked a wallop thnt has made him
famous as a knocker-out.
It Is generally conceded that no man lives
who can knoclc out Welsh inside of ten
rounds, but if any one stand out as thi
probable disposer of the Hngllshman in a

IT IS not particularly desirable that the

championship one, for the start should be

ilte In the beginning Is an enthuu-iism for
the game I consider It an advi..fe to
begin a golf career on an open course
After playing an open course a year or so
the prospective golfer should Join a club
with a more difficult course, and If his
game continues on an upward way his final
club should nave a
course demanding
the most modern
and testing shqts
In the game.
Always I should
expect the man who
hopes to Improve
his game to play
at other clubs
from time to lime,
but his real work
must be done on
his own course. I
believe this sort of
succession In clubs
is absolutely neces

such circumstances

MANAGERS FAVOR
CONTINUING SPORT
College Grad Moguls Will,
However, Await Further
Action of National Body
MAJOR PICKERING TALKS
The meeting of graduate managers of
collegiate athletic teams, held In New York
Saturday night nt the lntanco of Major II.
J. rickcrlng. of the University of Pennsyl
vania, resulted In a complete Indorsement of
the President's Idea of continuing collego
sports to tho fullest possible extent It was
agreed, however, that certain modifications
of the present rules would have to bo made
to meet the new situation.
It was decided finally that It would be
Impractical to attempt to tako any definite
steps In the matter until the meeting of tho
National Intereollegato Association in Au
gust and to follow that body. This organ
ization Is already on record ns favoring tho
continuation of sports.
Major Pickering said today "While wo
dealt in generalities, I feel that much was
accomplished nt thte New York meeting.
Almost every representative expressed the
thought that college athletics were neces
sary and that there would be a general re
sumption In the fall.
"We decided to await the move of the
National lntcrcolleglato Association. This
organization has as a whole great repre
sentation and what they say will carry
great weight This body has decided to
meet In August In Washington. D. C. I am
assured that they favor a complete re
sumption of college athletic schedules
"Penn will await the Washington meet
ing I cannot say absolutely that there will
be football on Franklin Field In the fall, but
from present indications I think It would
be a big mistake to discard the game
"The military authorities at Fort Niagara
can thank tho colleges' football, track, base
ball and crew coaches for the excellent
specimens now In Intensified military train
ing Tho attitude of tho Government Is still
that all colleges should continue with their
athletics so that the undergraduate may
reach a high state of physical perfection."

EXCHPT for one postponed match be
tween llelfleld "H" and Sprlnghaven. the
Trlstnto League reached tho hnlf way
mark on Its 1917 summer schedule drlv on
Saturday As a result of tho Oermantown
team being only able to take f. out of the.
0 points from l"e Sprlnghaven team In their
match at Walllngford. It now looks like
an almost Impossible task for the Manhelm
team to overhaul Cynwyd and oust them
from the leadership of the league, it posi
tion which they now hold bv a margin of
fi points In playing tho last half of the
schedule It will only be necessnry for the
ynvvd team to hold Its own ngaln with
Oermantown against the other teams, a
performance which they should he able to
do easily, and If each team succeeds In win
ning tho same number of points from tho
other teams It will Chen be necessary for
the Manhelm team to defeat the Cynwyd ag
gregation S-l In order to win the cham
pionship when they meet This contin
gency does not seem at all likely
It will be remembered that when these
'mil'
ninnoNs
teams met several weeks ago. and on whlch
occasion both trams had their strongest fK)iUv
possible players In tho line-up, the Cynvryd"
team won by the rather comfortable mar
gin of 6 matches to three. It la truo that
the champions will not have Wallace John
son the next time they meet, hut It Is also
possible that Oermantown will on that oc
cnsloti be without the services of L, C
Wlster. so that from tho standpoint of
absentees, matters will most likely be equal
ized Absent Stars Defeat Oermantown
Oermantown was greatly weakened on
Saturday by tho absenco of five members
of their team. Tllden and lleck being tha
onlv members of the regular team to play.
In singles and doubles this pair nccounted .
for three points between them, Tllden de- ,
featlng Mojd Irving with tho loss of only
one gnme In two sets nnd young Beck ac
counting for A. 12 Copeland but only after
a close contest which required three sets.
In the douhles, they defeated Wllctfx and
Wilcox by the declslvo scores of 0-0, 6-3.
Tills victory wna unexpectedly easy, as
the Sprlnghaven pair aro capable of high
class tennis The Oermantown team kept '
ever thing low and thereby did not give,
the Wilcox brothers a chance to show their
wonderful overhead game These tactics,
together with tho fact that Tllden playsd
his usual brilliant game nnd received excel
lent support from his youthful pupil, ac
counted for the great superiority of the
Manhelm duo.
The remainder of the Oermantown team
was composed of Cassard. Morgan and Tat
nail, a trio of bovs who were competing In
the trials for the Junior Intercity team at
Manhelm In the morning Cassard slg
nated his first appearance In the Trlstats
1-eaguo bv playing sterling tennis He de
feated J c Taney In tho singles In a closs
three-set match, tho final ono of which
was 8-G. and, aided by young Morgan, won
the second doubles from Tnney and Irving,
n feat which also required threo FCts; so,
all In all, Cassard had a very bUsy day
In both competitions. Oermantown went to
Walllngford one man short nnd was con
sequently forced to default n point In sin
gles nnd another In the doubles In addi
tion to these two soft ones. Sprlnghaven
won two points through tho victories of
James Irving and James Wilcox over Mor
gan and Tatnnll respectively
