Both game of today's double-header between the 1'hlU Md Grants were called off today on ao ount of wet grounds. BENNY LEONARD, NEW YORK BOXER, WINS LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, STOPPING WELSH IN NINTH ROUND Referee McPartland Halts Contest as Former Titleholder Pitches Across the Ropes Ex Champion's Defense Fails to Save His Title Ily HOBEUT W.

It was a technical knock nut, hut the for M4XHKI.I, mer rhiiinphm did not take even the count "f imp His stout heart would not admit defeat and. although virtually helpless, he Irled to fight hack weakly and ineffectually when there was not a rhnnre In a million The Hrlton was noted for his ring general ship, and he proved that the reputation was well deserved. Pollok Refuses to Act In that fateful ninth round, when on the verge of a knockout, Welsh stnggeieit over to Leonard's corner and stood against the post He was firmly wedged In and couldn't fall. Benny sent crashing right smashes to tho Jaw and Freddy took them with u silly smllo mi his face. Twice he tottered and oucn hn slipped to his knees, only to pull himself up again to take further punish ment. Referee McPartland looked ovor to Harry Pollok and motioned for him to toss tile sponge In the ring. Pollok shook his head Leonard stood back, coolly measured the distance between Ills right fist and Welsh's Jaw and struck with all tho power lie pos sessed. Again Freddy swaetl forward, but grabbed the ropes with both hands to save himself. This left him leaning forward, his Jaw unprotected and in such a helpless condi tion that a child could havn knocked him out. Here Is where Leonard showed his sportsmanship. Despite the fact that he had thn championship and a fortune within his grasp, ho looked at the battered, swaying figure before him. realized Its helplessness and turned nppeallngly to tho referee. lie didn't want to strike another blow, know ing that It might result in serious in Jury. McPartland onco more looked toward Pollok. but Harry sat In the corner as If in a daze. He made no effort to stop the bout and save his man from further pun ishment. He seemed to be waiting for the time when We'sh was stretched helpless on the floor, waiting to be carried otT. Mc Partland then took things In his own hands, regardless of the fact that a championship was about to change hands, lie grabbed Leonard, pushed him away and stopped the battle. Welsh Proves Game lo the Core But Welsh was not ready to quit. He staggered drunkonly across the ring, stood In tho center, swaying and tottering, a glassy stare In his eyes, and trying in vain to raise his hands. But the effort was too much. Ho careened toward the ropes and fell, his body half out of the ring. Ho arose, tried to walk to his corner, but his legs bent under him and he would have fallen again had not his seconds grabbed him and carried him to his corner. It was the earnest stand ever taken by a boxer anil the champion went down with colors flying. He took his beating like a man, and when lie left the ring, deprived of Ills title, he was more popular than at any tlmo In Ills long career. He was defeated hut not disgraced. The world loves n gritty, game, brave man, and he had those qualifi cations. Tho end came In the ninth round, after one of tho most pathetic, pitiable and un even battles ever witnessed. For eight rounds Freddy had escaped a knockout by a miracle and the spectators settled back In their seats, conlldent that tho bout would la,st tho limit. I was sjtting next to Dan McKetrick, who was keeping time for Yanks and "A's" Score Run in Early Innings Continued from I'aRp One ridge to Pipp. W. Johnson singled to right, scoring Mclnnis. W.

The p.lilded IWt struck Freddy nn ills srtnllen ear and stag gered him He was dazed and before he could raise his hands tu pintect himself two crashing blows landed Hush on the Jaw That spelled the end Wreddy tried to escape, but Leonard, cool, relentless and calm, pursued him Welsh hacked Into the corner where he made his last stand The round had gone one minute and fifteen seconds when it was stopped. Outcome Was n Surprise The outcome of the bout was a distinct surprise. No one even dreamed that the cnamplnrihhlp would change hands, anil there was little money wagered on the out come. The betting was light, the odds being C to 1 that Leonard would not knock out the champion In the eighth round 4 to 1 was offered at ringside that the limit uould go the full ten rounds and theic were ho takers. There was no comparison between the boxers. From the start Welsh was hope lessly outclassed, but thn wise tines figured that his superb defense would cntrv him through. But the light looked llko an en gagement between a model n steel battle ship and un old wooden, leaking frigate wheae guns were spiked. It was pathetic Welsh could not tight He couldn't use his left Jab, nor could lie protect himself with the same effectiveness um In the past He Just managed to weather the llrst round, and when lie went to his comer his sifnnils administered stimulants and rubbed his legs. Johnny Kllbane. who was a spectator at the ringside, turned to me and said: "It's all over. When a boxer Is In such condition that his legs must bo rubbed In the llrst i omul, he Is In no shape to last ten. The championship will change hands tonight." I.eonnro Knew He Was Master The second and third rounds wero repe titions of the first Leonard knew lie was master of tho veteran, and bided his time. He took no chances and laid back for an opening. He had boxed Welsh twice before and knew ills style of defense. Benny virtually won the championship In the fourtli round. He tore after Freddy, but found that ills defense was impenetrable. Then he laid tiack and drew htm out of his shell. Welsh led with his left landed. He crossed his right and that. ton. found a marK. uui mat was wnat l.eonanl was looking for. Benny sent a wicked left hook to the body and Welsh almost doubled up. That one blow won the bout. From then on It was a question of tlmo. Freddy was beaten, as his strength was gone and he. couldn't step around to sao himself. In the fifth the champion was like a blind man groping his way In a strange room. Ills hands were outstretched, hut Ills blows were slaps not punches. Leonard directed his attack to the body and eacli blow took away more of his remaining strength Welsh looked like an amateur and acted llko one. The only thing that saved him wns his Iron nerve and Ills won derful gameness. We havo panned Welsh In tho past, called him a "clieeso champion" and other things, but we take our hat off to lilm today as ono of the grltllest boxers who ever trod tliu rosin In the squared clicio. May his suc cessor show the same finalities under tho same conditions.

JA1TE Willie Jackson went Into the ring at the (ilympla last night to knock out Johnny Mealv and nlmnst succeeded, lie dropped the Philadelphia!! with a left hook for the count or nine In the first round, but despite tills advantage tho (iothamlte was lucky to win at tho finish. Mealy staged one of the greatest up-hill battles of tho season, and It really was surprising to bee him clearly outhox JuckKon in three of tho six rounds. Jackson's nnxlnusness to win by a kayo made lilm careless and throughout t lie bout his face was an ciisy target for Mealy's left jabs. Starting the second round. Mealy had Jackson's nose bleeding until the end of the contest Johnny scored time and iikiiIji with straight lefts and also found Willies Jaw with tight lianders That Jackson lias no glass jaw was etldent, for be took a number of terrific Jolts llus-h. nml .toung Mr Mealy Is no creainpuff puncher Twice Jackson was forced to shako his head, hut at no time was ho In danger of being floured. Good at Iiifiu.htiiiK Jnckson'B emulation as a knockerout Is based on a left hook. After having -Mealy almost out In the first round he again stag gered Mealy In the cceund, but overanx liiiisness handicapped Willie. At limes Jackson allowed Mealy to Jab him several times before getting under way himself. Tho New Yorker's knockdown, coupled with his Infighting, enabled him lo win, although he had to show his very best, as Meuly was on his toes boxing fast all the time. Before the bout Prank Bagley. Jackson's managor. said that lie hud signed Wllllo for a return bout with Jolinn Dundeo In New York. June 20.

Not only did Alllo go tluougli the six lounds withuut being up set but ho also defeated Ills opponent Bratton won thn first round by a big mar gin, and It appeared that he would knock out Nelson, on which many wagers tie pended. Toe to Toe SliiKRinR However, Nelson got off In the lead In the second round and lie never was headed. After the third peiloJ It was not a case of how lung Nelson would last, as Brat ton appeared to be the one 'on the verge of u knockout. Nolwm stood too to toe with Bratton for the cntlie sixth round, and there was morn lighting plied Into those three minutes than In the other five rounds combined. Nelson never punched better, and while his terrific rlglit-handeiH stnggered Bratton, the latter proved a glutton for punishment. Joo Titber won a bantam bout from Jack Kayles, a stable-mate of Jackson's; Andy McMahon. a pupil of Mealy s out boxed Krankle Williams, and Joe Bradley lost on a fuul In the sixth to Danny Buck, after a hard bout.
