It was apparent to all from tho start that uenny Leonard was master last night. Ho was cautious In the first round and boxed on the dcfcnsUe until ho learned, much to ins surprise, that he could Inflict punishment on his smaller foe. A hard left to tho mouth split Johnny's Up and a terrific right snook him from head to tec. When the round was oer Leonard went to his corner and said to Wily tllbson. his manager: I can knock him out any time I want to now. He Is easier than I thought. Shall I finish him In the next round?" Heeds Gibson's Warning "Be careful, Benny," begged Olbson. "Remember, Kllbane has a cood rleht hand. and If he ever hits you It will be all off. Take your time nnd wear him down some more. Then put over the knockout." In the second tound Kllbano was In dis tress, but Leonard followed his Instructions nnd played it safe. Time and ngaln he overlooked nn opening to step In and finish his man. When tho bell clanged he said to Gibson: "I am going out now and try to finish him. I think I can do it." Johnny tried desperately to stem the tide of defeat, but his efforts were futile. His punches missed their mark and all of his ring craft and cunning seemed to have left him. He was like a nunll taking a boxing lesson from a master. He was on the verge of a knockout for tho first time In his long career and refused to admit It even to him self. He would not quit. Bout Was Success Shibe Park was In gala attlro for the big match. The crowded grand stand, with Its white background of coatless men and thousands of the fair sex In summer attire, fortned a snowy horseshoe which wrapped Itself around the ring. Every one was In a position to see and tho crowd was good natured nnd orderly. Only once did the spectators get the better of the police, and that was bcfoie the main bout was called Those who purchased $1 seatB In the bleach ers rushed over to the $2 section, but that was nothing to be alarmed about. Jimmy Dougherty, the principal promoter of the match, saw many vacant seats In the stand and asked a policeman to Invite the bleach crltes to take a closer view of the fight In the more expensive seats. The usual preliminaries were put on and a regular big-league announcer. Imported from New York, shouted his announce ments without tho aid of a megaphone. Out side of getting the names of the promoters mixed, his work was something out of the ordinary. Fred Sears, who announced tho preliminaries, performed better than any one we have had In Philadelphia for some time and should be used more often. Poor Press Arrangements Last night's affair was a huge success and Jimmy Dougherty and John Shibe de serve credit for staging it In such a capablo manner. The spectators that Is, the per sons who bought tickets were well taken care of and left the park perfectly satis fled. The only thing that c"ould be objected to was the handling 'of the holders of the press tickets. These unfortunates had as much show- as a cake of Ice In a furnace, and were herded any old place that was vacant. The treatment of these persons was terrible, and It Is hoped that the man agement of the. park will try to improve conditions in the future. l Tigers Score in Opening Round of Early Half of Double-Header DETKOIT "nh, n Vltt. 3b fobb. cf J'eiith.

LEONARD PUSHES KILBANE FROM LIGHTWEIGHT TRAIL BY SCORING TECHNICAL K. 0. IN THIRD ROUND Brilliant Combined Boxer-Fighter Easily Out classes Great Featherweight in Nine Minutes of Onesided Boxing Result a Big Surprise By LOUIS II. JAFFE BENJAMIN M-JINnit. alias Benny Leon ard, the New York Hebrew and he who brought tho lightweight championship to the shores of Uncle Sam, Is the greatest boxer-fighter combination of the decade. Following his technical three-round knock out at Shibe Park over Johnny Kllbane who, by the way, still retains his feather weight crown Leonard stands alono In his class at the pinnacle of the 133-pound divi sion, supreme of all he surveys, firm as the Rock of Gibraltar and not a single con tender shadows his trail as a molester In his reign Kllbano stood an even chance to win last night before tho opening gong. After the bell sounded beginning what was to have been an elghteen-minute contest nnd Leonard had forged Into the lead, the good little man appeared like a pigmy In his effort to dethrone the good big man. Yet It appeared that not moro than six pounds differed In their weights at the same time Leonard's superiority nppeared on tho sur face like oil on water, as the old seadog says. Kilbane Bleeds at Start Only a few seconds after the bout got under way several straight lefts cracked Kllbane's lips. Blood spouted from John ny's mouth, and after Benny connected with two light rights to the Jaw, reaching the Clevelander with ease, there was Ilttlo doubt that Kllbano would fall to go tho distance. It started off as a one-sided mix and so it finished. When Kllbane was forced to clinch In the second round nfter Leonard had delivered a series of lefts and rights to John's head, then switched with both hands to the body. It was tho beginning of the end. No man could stand up under Leonard's fusllade of jaw-breaking and rib-cracking wallops. And Klbano was human. Chip to the Rescue ' George Chip, the middleweight and a great constituent of Kllbane's, evidently figured out the finish. During the Inter mission between the second and third rounds he rushed Into tho Ohloan's corner and assisted Manager Jimmy Dunn In bringing Kllbane around. With the begin ning of the third Leonard stepped out of his trench as cool as ever, bent on finishing the fray right away. Kllbane was not to be underestimated, and he, too, was willing to shoot over right-hanciers DacKea uy knockout force. Tho result was that tho session opened with both men wild, nnd ench missed hard wallops with both hands. Then Leonard steadied. A left hook to tho chin staggered Kllbane and a right cross forced him to ropes. Johnny was hurt and he tried to clinch. But Leonard was awake and think ing, stepped back and as Kllbane came In, half blind, Benny found lodgment with a left and a right on the Irishman's Jaw, This time Kllbane wrapped both arms around Leonard'u waist. Kilbane 'Collapses Still llko the proverbial Iceberg, Leonard allowed Kllbane to rest only for a second. Then fro pulled away and as the feather weight came in, leading with a wild right. Leonard met him with a short left to the body, and at close quarters Benny drove a series of lefts and rights tn Ute tame sec tion, finishing with a rlghv uppercut. KI1 bane collapsed, sinking to his knees, and grabbed Leonard around hla ankles. It was a surprise; a spectacle. Never before had Kllbano been so emphatically outclassed, outboxed. outfought, outgeneraled. Ho gained his feet before Iteferee O'Brien could start counting. A hefty right graied Kllbane's chin and he wai'turned almost half way around. nT.ib.r than it nn be stated Leonard reaohe4 out with abort Jett hook, followlnir f. MiOulgan. Johnny !,oftm.

Good luck to him ! he do serves It I havo no nllbl to offer. 1 accrpt tho erdlct. I was one of the most surprised persons In the world when I learned I was tho vic tim of n knockout. My brain was clear nnd I was strong. Jimmy Dunn evidently thought I was through when ho saw me slip to my knee nnd Liter towed tho towel In the ting I et wonder why ho did It. t could not get started. Leonard kept coming toward me, shooting short punches nt lm I thought It easy to block his punches, but a fw of them got by. nnd In the first round a left nailed mo on the Up nnd the blood soon began to How. Dunn Acted Hastily I was certain that I would bo on my feet nt tne i-nii of six rounds. I ncer neforo had been knocked off my feet, nnd It was clllllcult to leallro that I was down In reality, I was not down, for only my right Knee was on tho floor. The round only had one. second to en. nnd Dunn snrelv acted hastily In throwing tho towel In. I still w.is mystified when I reached my dressing room Was I dazed? Well, when he hit mo with that left l was a Ilttlo dlzry. but I, doubt If he could have hit me In the right place to put me away. We nil get hit nnd otfen wo get clipped when tho crowd nnd evon our opponent Is not aware. It w.m the llrst time Dunn ever haw mo wobble, nnd proba bly 'hat Is tin rcadon ho believed mo t'iroiigh. Leonard has n groat defen'e. Ho Is the hardest man I ever tried to hit. He has speed, Is clcv er and possesses a wonder ful head Ills blows did not bother mu Ills left Is n wonder nnd olten he beat mo with his southpaw- drivo when I was about to stnrt a light In his direction. They call It a knockout, but I always was under tho Impression that when a man took tho count ho haw stars nnd heard the birdies chirp. I never lost possession of my senses. Leonard gets credit for a knockout over me nnd ns much as It pains to havo that placed nfter your record I submit to tho Incvltnble. All Due to Get It Sometime They say that we all nro duo to get It sometime I got mine and take my medi cine gamely I will say that Leonard Is ono of the cleanest, finest boys I ever bat tled, nnd he Is entitled to all the success he attains. I havo been featherweight champion for five years, havo been successful nnd Leon nrd Just Is starting on his career. He should have a wonderful future. He his all the requisites that go to make a wonderful champion. Ho Is Just the type of fellow to uphold tho crown In his division. I thought I wns better than any lightweight In the world. I still bellevo I can hold my own with any of them, though tho result of last night's fight mnkes this statement look very bad "I havo nothing to say as to a return fight with Leonard, He's a great boy and I still bellevo I have many good fights left In my system.

It was apparent that a solitary punch flush on the Jaw would settlo Kllbane on his face or back. Ho had never been knocked out before. Towel Hurled Into King Jimmy Dunn, Kllbane's manager and pal, evidently didn't believe In having his protege counted out last night. Just as Timekeeper Billy Hocap said to Joe Savlno "Pull tho bell," Dunn Hung a wet towel Into the nlr, and before the moistened linen hit the floor the bell rang. Leonard was tho victor by a knockout, although technically. A pugilistic epoch wa,s made not only for Philadelphia but for the entire fistic" universe There were few dopesters that figured Leonard for ft knock out, and those that did held out for odds ranging from 5 to 1 ns high as 10 to 1. It was said after tho contest that Abe At tell had won $2000 on tho result by putting up only 200. "Leonard Is tho greatest boxer and fight er that ever drew on a glove," said Matt J. Hlnkel, Cleveland promoter, as the large crowd stampeded on to the greensward. Asked It ho would make an effort to sign up the lightweight champion, he retaliated In a flash: "With whom?" While helping hands assisted tho groggy and tottering Kllbane to his corner, ha con tinually exclaimed: "No! No I No!" as If ho were dissatisfied with the steps taken by his manager to admit defeat. Leonard never had his hair, combed neatly and parted at the left, mussed n any of his Philadelphia bouta. Tho eame ruled last night.
