CALLS LEONARD
! GREATEST HITTER
Britton Says Benny Is Most
I Dangerous Man He
i Ever Met
FEARED THE "PULL TN"
Hy JACK MUITTON
rcrmrr AWItpnif Ultt t'hiimplnn
The greatest pimrlier I ever faced
Benny Leonard. You can take It from
me, and I've fought 'e.in all, this Benny
Leonard can hit. I have battled him
twice nnd 1 nm an excellent Judge of
bis bitting. If he ever had found me
unguarded It would have been curtains
fnr mine. To fight Leonard and do It
with any degree of success It s excellent
advice to beginners as well ns veterans,
and this applies to me, never to take the
eye off him. He knows all tho tricks
and executes them perfectly.
The secret of Leonard's great success,
nnd I believe It was a secret, but not
nnj- mnrc. Is due to his wonderful and
uncanny ability to "pull In" bis oiipo
nent. Many believed, as I did until I
met him the second time, that Leonard
was at his best when on the attack, hut
this is not true. lie is the best man 1
er fought at drawing In his man. then
hitting powerfully with either (land.
lint, Middleweight' lunrJi
He is inly a little fellow, but he can
hit harder than any middleweight 1 ever
fought. I have met the limit of the small
mlddlewclghts. but never tasted a harder
punch than the one delivered hy Leon
ard. That is the reason bo Is so sue
cesstul once he "pulls In" his man, for
he has the advantage of position nnd
can drive home his punches with plenty
or power, accuracy and (ffect.
P'd you notice how often I ran away?
Well, that was to nvuld being "pulled
in " I knew that if he ever got me In
that trap I would have to take plenty
of punishment before I got free. Iln
is tricky and has this thing of "pulling
In" the other fellow down to a rclence.
I just nii.ssed that trap on three occa
sions and that was when you saw me
jun away. It was survive or perish and
I retreated.
Harriett 1'lsbt nf Career
I fought 1'aekey McFarland when
Paekey was at his best, but nil Fackey
had was cleverness without the punch.
Leonard has the cleverness and the
punch. I'ackey was just as clever as
Benny at "pulling in" the other follow,
but how much differently ho treated
ou than Benny! The best that I'ackey
could do after he got you In that trap
was to tap you with a light Jab. hy
I'ackey couldn't break an egg with that
punch of his.
The fight was the fastest and hardest
one in which I ever engaged. I was
asked after the fight what round I
considered the hardest and when did
Leonard do his best work. I merely
told my friends that every round was
fast and tough, and that I was so busy
fighting nil tho time that I didn't have
a moment to check up which punch
was the hardest.
Crondrd I.eonaril
If you followed the fight closely you
wuuld have noticed that I crowded
Leonard all the time. There was a rea
son It was to break the power of his
blows If he ever landed with one of
his full swings it would be the end, but
by stepping In close I forced him to
wrap his punches about my body or neck.
. ' iip, to do this nretty often.
I came out uninjured and felt fine
after tho workout,
and a fine crowd.
It was a great night

DECISION TO POSTPONE
AMATEUR GOLF TOURNEY
UNTIL THE FALL IS WISE
Substitution of 36-Holc Medal Play Competition for
Class. Tournament Would Be Popular Suburban
League Clubs Want Larger Representation
, By WILLIAM
THH decision of the executive commit
tee of the. golf association to post
pone the amateur competition originally
scheduled to begin today over tho course
of the. Phllmont Country Club, nnd to
substitute for It In the fall u thirty-six.
hole medal competition, Is wise. Last
year there were only a few more than
the requisite number of thirty-six en
tered, and this year less than half that
number were Willing tn play. Of course
It would be farclal for that number to
pliy, even If there Is no title Involved.
The next tournament, which Is listed
for three days, will bo the class tourna
ment, whirh Is scheduled for July 24 2.1
nnd 26 at the .Merlon Cricket Club.
While there Is no doubt that a fairly
large field will compete It might be well
right now to change the conditions and
make It a thirty-slx-hole affair on a
medal handicap basis. The same day
the ninth annual midsummer handicap
competition will be played over thS same
course.
Would Meet 7illi Favor
There could be thu same number of
prizes with medals or whatever the as
sociation Intends to Kive for eacli divi
sion. It will bo remembered that Class
A Includes players with handicaps from
even to fourteen, Clasit 1 fifteen to
eighteen inclusive and Class C nineteen
and otr.
This Is a tournament for the players
who are not Rood enouKh to play In the
amateur event where It is necessary to
have an association ratnc of ten stroked
or less, and It Is u tournament which
appeals more fo the larRe class of play
ers who make colt me popular sport
that Is it Is than any other tournament
held by the Oolf Association with tho
single e.ceptlon of the dinner match
which will not be held thlu year.
Dip Entry List Sure
The men who are qualified to play
In the class tournament are Just as husy
as those who entitled to play In the ama
teur affair. Many of these will doubtless
not be able to play In a three-day affair,
but If tho affair is made a one-day tour
ney, either ns a handicap affair with the
classes kept separated or a scratch
offoi- under the sumo classification, there
Is not the slightest doubt that a large
field will turn out.
tr,,,- nme time the feeling has grown
that the Suburban League clubs ought
to have i-ome sort or.represenia.uun
the executive committee. Year after
year the same ofllclals arc nominated
and year after year the same executive
committee is named, Of the thirty-two
clubs In the association, sixteen, or one
half, aro represented In the Suburban
League, yet tor ycas i.ieru nao urii
one club In the Suburban League rep
resented on tho executive commuter.
For yenrs It used to De Harrison jowii
o.!,i. nf the old Aronlmink Oolf Club.
Then (feorce Klauder represented Bala.
Today Henry Strouse, oi i-.iumom, rep
resents tho only one of the sixteen clubs
In tho Suburban League,
Want Equitable Representation
The sixteen clubs pay most of the
freight, and while It Is not a case of
taxation without representation, there
ought to be a more equitable division.
It Is a fact that at the various events
scheduled by the golf association there
Is rarely more than one member of tne
executive committee present. The
others are apparently too busy to be In
attendance.
If there Is a crowd of players who de
Hcrve encouragement it is the juniors,
yet only two of the executive committee
put In an appearance during the tourna
ment. Some of our best golfers are rep
resented In tho sixteen clubs comprising
the Suburban League : the entry list for
v,i:t nf ih events Is largely made up of
players from those clubs, yet of the nine
clubs represented on tho list of ofllclals
and the executive committee Thllmont Is
the only Suburban League club with a
representative.
The bone and sinew of the golf asso
ciation at present comes )argefy from
these sixteen clubs and the clubs feel
that one member is a rainer poor rep
resentation. Liberty Day Tourney
Last year the various golf clubs
throughout the Country held a Liberty
Day tournament under the auspices of
the United States Golf Association on
tne Fourth, of July for the lied Cross
and other war charities. An effort will
be made this year to Increase this sum.

ttrvOWlE! talk about action!
There
" was that nnd
more," Bald a
smooth-faced Uothamlte as he surged
through the crowded stairway and out
through the Jammed doorway. "Benny
never tasted so many punches In his life
before. This Brltton sure was there
with the poods tonight."
"You can bet old Jack Brltton had on
his punching gloves, and they weren't
of the 'kid' variety," retorted the nnx
Imis Quaker City fan. "Jack may bo
old, but his cunning was there, and he
also convinced the gang that he could
hit."
While the dispersing throng was com
menting fluently upon the big hattle
which Just had thrilled for eighteen
minutes In the open-air Rrena nt Shlho
Park last night, Benny Leonard, out
pointed lightweight champion, was husy
In his dressing room censuring his sec
onds for failure to transmit Intelligibly,
their words of advice to tho active nlad
Intor. nf.nny Is reeved
Benny was very much peeved when
hs reached his dressing quarters, it was
tho first time since he became champion
that there was the least chance to ques
tlon his right to the decision. Britton
refused to be Intimidated and fought as
courageous and aggressive a fight as any
fan would caro to witness.
As Benny cnrefully placed his finger
to a slightly swollen mouth and brought
forth a few drops of blood he became
more aroused.
"I tell you fellows, you simply were
away off tonight," exploded the cham
pion. "You chewed your words. You
know there were at least 10,000 persons
out thero watching us and It seemed to
me as though they all were giving me
advice. You fellows didn't give me much
help."
nillr nibson Kxplnln
"Now Benny, not so fast : calm your
self," Interrupted Billy Olbson, who
plainly was distressed to roe Benny bo
aroused. "I'll admit that It was hard
to hear us, but wo were doing tho best
we could. Thero wan all kinds of noise
there, nnd it wns dimcult to outroar
that gang."
Benny then took his turn In directing
a terrific verbal attack ngalnst each
member of tho advisory board, which
consisted of Manager Gibson. Brothers
.Charley and Willie, Oeorge Kngel nnd
Captain Gllck. They took what he said
seriously, for It was not tho custom of-
the champion to do anything hut smile
and exchango carerses with his man
ager. I was the lone newspaperman In tho
room was there unknown to tho cham
pion nnd his seconds. Captain Gllck
then turned around to avoid tho wordy
onslaught, which was dlreced his way,
and In so doing "Sherlock" was dis
covered. "I beg your pardon, sir," miirkty ut
tered tho very courteous captain, "but
Benny never I'kes to have newsp'iper
men In his dress'ng" room after a flcht.
I'm sorry, but "
Visitor Tnltl to Depart
That wan enough. The kind Invita
tion to move was gratefully accep'.ed and
the lone visitor moved.
But the brief sojourn In tbe cham
pion's quarters .was most convincing. It
was the first time that Benny ever was
so disturbed Ho had been the rec'plent
of many unblocked punches and Benny
very much disliked being on the receiv
ing end.
He was marked ; thero was no getting
away from that. Ills mouth wan cut and
swollen, his left eye slightly discolored
and the right sldo of his neck bruised.
Those left hooks which missed tho Jaw
had to land somewhere, so most of them
found a resting placo on Benny's neck.
Hturk Close to Morgan
Brltton always managed to keep Leon
ard near the corner where were found
Danny Morgan and Jack Grace, the lat
ter a celebrated globe trotter and one
time ring artist. Brltton never strayed
far away from his corner and never out
of hearing distance. This was apparent.
In the fourth round Brltton exhibited
what Is known ns tho "hit' and run."
which ho executed like a roaster. He

shot a left hook to .the head, then In
stead of trying to follow with a right
he simply retreated In haste for tho far
corner of the ring. Later Brltton ex
plained that be did thfs to avoid the
Leonard rap, which consists of "pulling
In" fhc opponent, then crossing cither a
right or left.
Jimmy Dougherty Was There
Jimmy Dougherty, the Baron of Lel
porvllle, accompanied by Samuel M.
Vauclaln, of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, and Commander Tayne, wit
nessed the fistic treat from a box close
to thn ring,
"It was a great fight," exclaimed the
Baron. "This Brltton sure Is a wonder.
Why, fifteen years ago he was entertain
ing the crowds, and he looked better to
night than I evor raw him before. I
think he had It on Leonard tonight."
Mr. Vauclaln and the Commander
merely smiled and ngreed that It was 3

r."ui iifiii
Frank (I'rp) O'Brien, well-known
ring ofllclal, who recently was appointed
referee for all fights In Baltimore, said
he believed Brltton won.
Paymaster Savage, of the naval air
craft factory, and Frank Parker, also
an employe of Uncle Sam, viewed the
combat from tho press box, but re
fused fo bo Interviewed.
"Great fight, that's all, a great fight,"
agreed both.
Dr. (.'eorgo Wlttmnlcr also was In the
press box. He said It looked like
Leonard from where ho was, but, then,
you never could get a good line on a
battle from tho 'clouds. Don Scafto and
George Dugan motored nil the way from
Pennsgrovo to view tho nttractldn. They
returned to their Jersey bailiwick much
pleased with the encounter.
Big Crowd In Street
Long before the main bout went on
the crowd was collected In front of the
big nark. Only a few windows were
In operation, nnd due to the war tax,
which brings Into play tho use of quan
tities of change, the work of selling the
tickets was very slow. The manage
ment worked hard to keep the tickets out
of the hands of speculators and suc
ceeded, but It caused tho loss of much
valuable time, congested the turnstiles
nnd had tho fans stretched all the way
from Twenty-first to Twentieth street.
A large nrmy of ushers was kept husy
directing tho fans to their seats. After
tho crowd once got In the gate the ma
chinery on the Inside was well oiled for
sending them to the right scats.
Promoters Are Pleased
Promoters Herman Taylor and B.ob
ert Ounnls were much pleased with the
fight. The crowd was large, tho fight
was great and everything went fine.
But they proved to be modest pro
moters, even Bobby refusing to be in
troduced. But-when It camo time, to
turn tne flashlight on Brltton and Leon- 1
ard, their seconds and the other celebrl- :
ties, Herman nnd Bobby managed to &
crowd into tho picture. However, and
despite their extreme modesty, the palr'ta
of youthful promoters are entitled to X
much credit for bringing such a high- .'
class attraction to this city.
Treasurer Jack Welnstein was not on "(!
the field. Jack was so busy counting the '
money that he was forced to read the
detailed account In the papers. This
was painful to Jack, who Is a great
Leonard rooter, but he said the cause
must bo served. Jack Hnnlon, the new
matchmaker of tho Wlldwood A. C was
one of tho timers, nnd his loud check
suit could be plainly heard. But Jack
proved Just as modest as Promoters
Taylor and Gunnls.. He refused to let
them announce the card- for the opening
show of the Wlldwood A. C, which
will present Leonard and Jnck Brazzo
In tho afternoon at the ball park.
Ted Lewis, welter champion, also was
present, and was ono of the first 'to
congratulate Brltton.
