CHAMPION LEONARD HAS DUNDEE
TO ELIMINATE BEFORE HE GOES
AFTER RING TITLES "HIGHER UP"
i
Lightweight King Never Has Shown Enough
Superior Form Over the Scotch Wop to
Give, Him the Go-By
By LOUIS
BEKOItB Benny Leonard hits the trail of
the welterweight nnd thnt of the mid
dleweight, as he threatens, tho champ has
. at least one plno to hew to convince the
frenzied fan that he s on the lightweight
road conspicuous absolutely by the lack of
even a lonesomo piece of scenery. Leonard
has left a lengthy line of defeated and
' linockcd-out victims behind him In the last
two years, but one object of the Jumping-
.Jack variety still is obvious ns he strains
his optics along the 133-pound highway.
Were It not for the bobby bean of Johnny
Dundee It Is probable that Leonard would
have a clear way ahead which would neces
sitate his turning Into nnother path for
want of competition.
A canvass of the fight fans to decide tho
superior gloveman between Leonard and
Dundee no doubt would bring a majority
of yotes for tho tltlcholder. Yet It never
has been proved that Leonard Is so far bet
ter than Dundee that ho can afford to over
look tho little Italian. He must give the
Wop Scotch a tumble. The sooner this Is
dono the soonpr Leonard will provo to tho
world at large that he has no threatening
contenders for his crown, or that Dundee
really Is a nail In tho side of his throne.
IIave Boxed Evenly
On four different nnd distinct occasions
haye Leonard and Dundee met, and cm four
different and distinct occasions was neither
able to show conclusively that one was the
superior by far. Nono of the contests fin
ished decisively enough to bo taken for
granted that It wasn't necessary for them
to box again. In fact, If their last bout,
staged right here In Phllly, can be taken
for a criterion It probably will take a match
of twenty rounds or more to provo which
really has tho edge.
It was only a few months after their
sensational six-round battle here that Dun
dee Rat at the ringside of the Manhattan
Sporting Club, New York, nnd was un eye
witness of the dethronement of Freddy
Welsh by Leonard. That Dundee was
envious of Leonard's success In dropping
"no-declslon Frederick" Into tho discard
goes without saying, because the Italian
always contended Welsh would never give
him the opportunity to do that which
Leonard accomplished. It Is almost unani
mous that Dundee couldn't have knocked
out Welsh, as Johnny never has been ac
cused of being a kayo puncher, yet ho
never could be convinced that ho couldn't
annex the title in a decision bout.
After Decision Bout
Now, that Is exactly what Dundee Is
clamoring for' a bout to a refereo's de
cision. If such a contest Is arranged, nnd
it should bo before Leonard is recognized
ns a champion without a worthy contender.
It Is almost certain that Benny would rule
a heavy favorite. Leonard's K. O. wallop
would be sufficient to be magnetic In swerv
ing the odds In his favor. But if Johnny
Is to bo Jolted Into tho arms of Morpheus
by u Benny blow, only another bout, one
longer than ten rounds, is to prove It.
Leonard couldn't slip over the slam In three
ten-rounders, nor could he in the six
rounder here.
A Dundee-Leonard mix Is the biggest
bout on the docket. It should bo put on
without any further hankering ; that Is,
before Leonard goes off on to tho golden
road of'famd hunting for' the welter and
middle titles, because he believes there Is
no one for him to box In tho lightweight
class. There Is at least one, and Johnny
Dundee Is the ONE.
Moro power to Champion Leonard, If ho
can knock Dundee Into oblivion, only for
the satisfaction, or dissatisfaction, of the
public.
Boxes Tcndlcr Tonight
Dundee Is here today, not only to gaze
ri Billy Perm once more, but for the simple
reason of trying to sViow Philadelphlans,
nnd Phil Glassman, that Loole Tendlcr
doesn't class with him. Glassman Is ono
guy around this town who cannot be con
vinced Tendler Is a runner-up to Dundee
Whether Classman's contention Is correct
will be decided In the star bout at the
Olympla tonight, when Tendler and Dundee
answer the .bell for an elghteen-mlnuto
session. This will be a return bout, Tendler
having given Dundee a swell scrap at tho
Broad street arena one cold night last fall.
Since vacationing at Atlantic' City and
getting Into the best possible shape in the
last two weeks Tendlcr will make his
debut of the 1916-17 season when he takes
on the Scotch Wop tonight. Glassman
could have got another match or two
previous to this time, but he was holding
for nnother crack at Dundee. Phil knows
that Tendler knows that Dundee can't hit
hard. Tendler -knows that Phil knows that
Lew has gained considerably in strength
and that he has Improved his southpaw
punching powers a lot Thus both Philip and
Louis have a hunch that Dundee is lia
ble to go off Into a 10-second state of un
consciousness. They both feel, too, that
11. JAFFE
If Tendler doesn't succeed In knocking out
Dundee no one will hate the newsboy for
trying at least.
Russo, a la Dundee
Jack Russo, of New Orleans, ns most
fight bugs know, is a stablemato of John
ny Dundee's. And Itusso gives promise to
develop Into ns pleasing and accomplished
a boxer as tho New Yorker. The south
erner made his second Philadelphia appear
ance at tho National Club Saturday night,
and whllo Johnny Mealy Just about earned
nn even break, tho spectators, or rather a
majority of 'cm, wero fascinated by tho
exhibition of Itusso.
The New Orleans Italian Is only nineteen
years of nge, which really Is to his ad
vantage rather than handicap. Being
groomed in the same school with Dundee,
Itusso should blossom forth until It might
provo that he will out-Dundcc Dundee some
time. Alrendy Itusso has a lot of Dundee a
stuff Johnny's flying Jab, ducking, side
stepping KKl everything. But as yet Jack
Is not as fast as John,
Another thing that Is evident in Ttusso's
make-up Is that ho can stand up well under
a wnllop. Mealy Is not the lightest hitting
boxer around ; In fact, he has a number
of knockouts to his credit, yet several
times the Philadelphia!! dropped his ter
rific right-hander flush on Itusso's chin, nnd
It only made the New Orleans youngster
light all the harder.
Mealy, too, put up a good bout, although
ho should have showed much better. What
Mealy lacked Saturday night, nnd that
which ho usually has lacked In other bouts,
was nggrcsslve. Had Johnny kept sticking
his lis ft hand Into Itusso's face often nnd
kept out of the clinches more he prob
ably would have outboxed Jack. As It was,
Mealy wasted too much time at close quar
ters, and Russo made up for whatever ad
vantage Mealy showed from the distance.
LAUREL MEETING
TO OPEN TODAY
Twenty-six Days of Racing
at "Turf Headquarters
of Maryland"
THE PURSES TOTAL $57,000
LAUREL, Wd., Oct. 1. The Laurel track
opens today. This means twenty-six days
of racing at the course, which race-goers
havo called "turf headquarters of Mary
land." An Idea of tho importance of this
meeting to turfmen may be gained from the
amount of money that the directors of the
trncK will distribute $67,000. Many of
the stakes, which will be run off exceed In
value tho events at Belmont Park.
It '8 no stretch of the Imagination to say
that the races at Laurel are tho best on
the Metropolitan Circuit Previous years
prove this contention. The reason Is ob
vious to all thoso who study racing closely.
With rich money prizes ns nn Incentive
and with the racing season In New York
closed, tho horsemen nro nnxlous to earn
sufllcient funds to carry the stablo over
winter.
Consequently there Is no dodging, nnd
horses, once entered, go to the post unless
nn accident Intervenes. It Is here that tho
champions and the contenders for the title
clash for supremacy.
It Is .probable that Sun Briar, tho biggest
money winner among the two-year-olds,
nnd Papp. the Futurity winner, will clash
here. After Sun Briar had won tho rich
Hopeful stake, worth 130.G00, at Saratoga,
it wa,-s nnnounccd that ho would bo retired
for tho season The fact that ho was ship
ped to Blnghamton. N. Y the home of his
owner, Willis Sharpo Kilmer, lent color to
tii statement. But horsemen here wero
furnlBhcd food for reflection when they snwt
Sun Briar step from tne private car snip
ped here by Kilmer.
This, contingent of horses wns In the
charge of Trainer Henry McDantet and was
expected to take part In the forthcoming
meeting all except Sun Briar. His ap
pearance created a sensation. Turfmen
said: "Now we will havo a chance to sea
which Is the better colt Sun Briar or
Papp."

Hans Lobert, of the New York Olants. has

Miss Dorothy Hums, of Los Angeles, yester
day established what Is claimed to be a world's
record when she defeated Miss Claire (lalllsan,
of New York. In a 2!!(-yard race for women
In Los Angeles. Her time was 3 minutes 1 t-15
seconds, beating Ulga Porfner's best time by
four seconds.
The Thirteenth and the
THHUK were two holes nt Merlon which
presented peculiar problems to me. The
first one I have in mind Is the thirteenth.
It was supposed to be 1D0 yards, with a
green guarded by a brook on two sides,
and pits over the
other edges. The
whole of it lay plc
turesnuely for the
gallery below the
hill sloping down
ward behind the
clubhouse. There
one could watch the
playing of a crucial
hole, coming nt the
very time in the
game when opin
ions could be con
clusively formed as
to what had gone
before and would
In all likelihood
come later. At the
time of tho tourna
ment the large
rilARI.CS KVANS green was light
ning fast, and rather severely undulating
In places.
This little gem of a hole had many fours
on It that week. It was a long 1B0 yards,
believe me, and while most of the other
players were using n niblick with the back
spin to stay on, I Invariably used a mashle,
and the result Justified my Judgment. All
the others wero forcing the backspln clubs
to get the distance. As a result they were
lunging at the ball and going off the line.
Furthermore, they were getting tho turf
back of the ball and away would go a
spoiled shot, perhaps In the ditch. They
wero underclubblng themselves. In the
meantime the green was becoming pock
marked with the dead-dropping balls, nnd
tho constant rolling to smooth them out
merely made the green faster.
Wins Hole by Playing Boldly
In the morning of the final Gardner
and I both had simple threes on that hole.
In the a'ftcrnoon I was two up when we
reached It What should I do? Try for
a simple three and hope for n half? I
had dono so on the ninth and he had holed
a two against me. He seemed a littlo
worried, and I decided to get the ball as
near tho hole as I possibly could. I knew
that If I succeeded it would cause him
to strain a little, and when ono strains In
golf watch out ! All of the cups had been
placed far back, and this ono was In the
back left corner of tho green. My ball
camo to rest six feet past the pin, and
only a foot from going over tho edge of
the green I havo heard moro than ono
criticism on my playing that shot so bold
ly. I give the circumstances and each
player must decide the question for him
self. Gardner went Into tho trap, and as
I took my putting position, and sighted
my line over the heavily sanded grass, for

of This Week
Quarry Hole at Merion
sand from tho bunkers was sprinkled all
over the edge of the green, the ball glared
back whltely at me as much as to say the
shot was worth the risk 1 had avoided
that awful feeling of the Bafety-flrst player
who sometimes takes four, after lialng
played too safe, a pitiful result of his
mental state I had forced uot to force
his mashle-nlbllck shot. It was the wrong
club for him to uso on that hole, In my
opinion, but I shall always believe that he
went Into the trap because my boldly played
shot succeeded.
A much discussed hole at Merlon Is called
the Quarry Hole. It Is perhaps 450 yards
In length, the last 150 being across an old
quarry abounding In frightful lic-j and ter
rors of all sorts. Just beond this golfing
Hades lay the liberal green. This Is a hole
to test the second shot and It comes as
near the finish as tho sixteenth.
lOach time at this tee I took a very deep
breath so that I could put an extra effort
Into tho teo shot. Thero was really noth
ing much to do except to hit it hard. It
you didn't get it straight you might Just
as well play short and get on In your third
with a mashle If you got a short drive
you couldn't possibly be sure of sticking on
that green with a wooden second. So, It
possible, I got my longest tec shots at this
hole.
In the semifinals CorKran and I wero
having a pretty stilt little match up to the
Quarry, I having a three hole lead, 15t.i
though I got a good ball he outdrove me.
I really had a mldiron second, but tho old
Idea, for which I can never feel sufficiently
grateful, had been drilled Into me when in
doubt use tho longer club. I elected to
uso my cleek and to lay the blade over a.
little, so as to be sure to get It up In the atr,
and give It the slice spin which would not
run very far. I ran, however, away over
to the far edge of the green and when one
did that at Merlon with tho cups at the
other end of the greens there was son.o
approach putt to make. Corkran was casu,
on In two, for he had tho easier shot, and
shorter for the topography required. The
green Is on two levels, and the cup this day
was on the lower level nearest tho quarry.
I stood a fine chance of overrunning, so
I Just putted to the top of that hill Instead
of to tho hole. I Just made It, and I could
see tho ball In the gray of the closing day
pause, and then roll to the hole.
In my next article, the playing of cer
tain at tho championship will be discussed.

Interclass Football at Germantown
"Football for all" Is the latest slogan
at Oermantcnvn High School for Boys. Be
Binning this nfternoon, all tho fellow In
the school will have nn opportunity to learn
the fundamentals of the fall sport. Physical
Instructor Philip Lewis and the members
of the school varsity elevens will bo on
hand at the large lot adjoining the school
buildings ready to part with their know!
edgo of the game to the newcomers. The
novicea at the game will b divided Into
squads, under the supervision of a member
of the school football team. The squads
will practice on various afternoons during
tho week until the middle of the month,
at which time It Is expected the majority
of the fellows In the school will know the
game. A schedule will bo arranged by
Lewis nnd Interclass teams will be organ
lied. The league will be composed of two
elevens from each class In the school which
will be called the Green and the White.
There are eight classes In tho school, thus
making sixteen teams In the league A
member of the first or second varsity foot
ball teams or members of tho freshmen
eleven will not be eligible to compete In the
Interclass league matches. The games will
bo played on the lot next tho school
Lewis has modified the present system of
football scoring, and tho scoring rules
which he used at West Philadelphia High
School n few years ago will be put Into
play. The new scoring rules will help to
eliminate the possibilities of tlo games. If
a team advanced within Its opponents'
10-ynrd line and Is unnble to score
touchdown, It wilt receive a credit. If
the offensive eleven, however, continues to
advar.ee and registers a touchdown, then
it will receive a full credit. It Is expected
that these rules will do away with tho
large number of drawn games.
Students to Officiate
The officials of the Interclass matches
will be selected by the chairman of the
Germantown High School Officials' Club
The students of the suburban school do not
believe In i;olng outside the school limits
for their referees. They have organized
what they call an officials' club. When
ever a game Is played the chairman ap
points one of the club members to officiate.
The appointed olllclal has complete control
of the contest, nnd If one of the contestants
should become excited nnd question the
referee's decisions In nn Improper manner
he Is put out of tho game. Once a fellow
Is put out of the gnme he Is barred for tho
remainder of the season.

Club, Only six holes are In play, but by
spring the entire course will be ready for
the members, of whom there are In excess
of 100 and more coming In. The clubhouse
Is In uso and the tennis courts are being;
tilaved bv the members.
One of the most beautiful spots In Penn
sylvania Is Just around Paoll. and the
course Is only a third of a mile from the
Pnoll station, and as the trains run there
In cxpres,") time and at, very frequent In
tervals It will be an easy matter for the
members to reach the course promptly It
Is also very near to the majority of the
residential sections of the Main Line sec
tion, being located directly on Lancaster
The golf course has been constructed
over n rolling country, with beautiful news
from every tee and green and through the
links there wanders a. stream and there
are other natural hazards, all of which
have been utilized. The soil is not so
clayey as are thoso nearer to Philadelphia
nnd the ground dries rapidly.
The acreage Is 170, and fortunately this
has enabled the course architect, Alexandel
H Klndlay, who has much experience In
building courses, to do away as much as
posslblo with parallel holes, Mr, Findlay
laid out the new Stenton. Altwood, Plymouth
and other courses near Philadelphia, and he
believes the new links at Paoll will be one
of the best eighteen hole courses in this
section of the country.
Putting Greens Are Rolling
The green are varied In conformation
and all are undulating. They also haVo the
added advantage of being large on the two
shot holes, so that the player will have an
excellent opportunity of playing his brassey
shots, of which there are eleven, boldly.
The stream is used as n hazard on the
drive on the fifteenth, the second shot on
tho seventeenth and the approach shot on
the eighteenth. S.-

Three Times As Many People
Are Now Buying Franklin Cars

" A MERICANS," said a foreign critic, "know the price
riof everything and the value of nothing."
That was before our entry into the War. Today it
is a different story.
The past few months havo developed a remarkable
understanding of the National duty to curb needless
waste and extravagance.
A typical illustration is the change in standards of
judging and buying a motor car.
Only a short time back a car had to be everything
but practical to attract the average motorist.
He wasn't interested in upkeep because his eye was
on ponderous mechanism.
Gasoline didn't worry him because he was comparing
wheel-bases.
Tire economy was not in his mind because he was
judging freezing mixtures for an unnecessary water
cooling system.
And getting rid of his old car at a fire-sale price for
a new model of another make he figured was part of the
game.
T
Today economy both in gasoline and tires is being
forced on the attention of the motorist. By rising costs,
by Government officials, by newspapers and magazines
the problem is before the motorist daily.
What is he to do?
He is looking for a way out some way to cut )iis
cost in half and maintain his mileage'.
He must get down to fact and figures. Know what
the car he intends buying will actually do on a gallon of
gasoline and a set of tires. Take into consideration the
depreciation each year. And turn his back on pleasing
phrases and tempting "claims."
There's less mystery than one thinks about this
economy problem. A car has thrift or it hasn't. Some
thing "in between" is like the proverbial "something just
as good."
An unfailing gauge of the worth of any fine car
today is the way it is selling today.

Now what are the sales facts about the Franklin?''
The nresent and next building schedule of Franklin t
Cars will not catch up with orders on hand. Franklin'
Cars are being built at a rate of three times as many a?
year ago and the public demand still continues to except
production.
The Fi'anklin Car was bound to become more populat
each year, even in normal times. The war, fqrclni:

Just consider the significance of the National
Efficiency Test of 179 Franklin Cars on July 13th,'1917i tj
Over all sorts of roads, in weather partly fair and partly
rainy, these cars recorded at 179 different points in the,
United States the remarkable average of 40.3 miles to the'1
single gallon of gasoline.
This record shows what the Franklin, does under ,
standard efficiency test rules. The, practical motorist;,,..
might ask himself what any other make of car can, d .
along the same lines. Such a, comparative test offers a j
standard which owner operation can modify in the sam
respect against one car and another.
High gasoline mileage means economy all along the; '
line. It takes no expert to know that if a car ia over
burdened with heavy weight and undergoing constant
wear and tear the gasoline tank will telUt by low'milea'g.
Take tires. For five years Franklin' owners have
been reporting their individual tire mileage. The agrafe
for this five-year period is 10,203 miles. '-
Now compare the annual depreciation of the average " ' 't
fine car with the Franklin. Look over the daily" usedcar m

There is something here for every motorist to think
about and these are days when a motorist has to think
if he wants to ride.
