MAXWELL "ports Editor Ktrntng Public Ledger CopiWonr, 1919, by Public Ltdotr Co. "DENNY LEONARD again rlemonitrntrd lie was bon of the lightweights at ,, the Phillies' park last night when V rhindee. It was a neniatlonal scrap, with jfthe fray. Bcny did not have an cany In every round, but the lightweight champ managed to land most ot the dam aging wallops and made Johnny behae eery time he became obstreperous. Dundee waded into his heavier opponent without fear nnd slammed him around the (ring ns if he were a preliminary bo. He took more chances than any man Who ever faced the titleholder, with the exception of Freddy Welsh in his first tight with Gibson's boy. Dundee had a plan of battle all mapped out and strictly adhered to it. He did not allow Leonard to get set and shoot over his haymaker, keeping him cn the move nil of the time. He copied n page from Freddy Welsh's book When Freddy outpointed him in Brooklyn three years ago On that night Welsh smothered Leonard with punclns, was on top of him rll of the time, made him miss repeatedly and grabbed the erdict by a mile. That's the only waj to fight Leonard, and Dundee knew it. He learned a lot in his previous meetings with the chnnvp, studied hii style and outguessed him. If Johnny possessed a knockout wallop Beun would have been in serious danger a couple of times. In the fourth he soaked the champ on the chin with a. hard right and his constant jabs had him bleeding from the mouth early in the battle. Leonard looked worried and did not perform up to his usual standard. After the fuss Billy Gibson said he had hurt his right hand, but from where we were sitting Benny did not seem to be in the best of shape. S His skin was white and there wasn't a trace of sunburn, which showed he did j little work in the open, but stayed in the gymnasium. However, he had all of the confidence in the world in his own ability, and when he started to show Dundee where he got off there was no doubt of his ' Intentions. Some say he could have stopped Dundee any time he wished, but don't you believe it. Johnny didn't remain long enough in one place ; and anyway, it's pretty hard to hit a movable target. ACCORDING to our box score, Leonard won the first, second. J fourth and sixth rounds, and end jffA. Johnny sloieed up slightly at the end of ctery round or the battle would have been closer. Dundee Surprises With Aggressiveness THE crowd and it was a crowd saw one of the best balanced and most., exciting boxing shows ever staged here. Because of the easy access to the grounds more than 15,000 came ont to have a look. There was a rush for the unoccupied scats shortly after the first bout was put on, but that will not happen again. However, every one took it good-naturedly and there was no trouble. Before the wind-up was put on Lew Tcndler climbed through the ropes and was introduced. Somebody evidently forgot his lines, for nothing was said about challenging Leonard. Lew was so sore about it that he forgot to shake hands with the champion and Benny had to walk ocr to him to go through that formality. Tendier still insists he can beat Leonard at 133 pounds and will send him a letter the next time he is in a challenging mood. But let's get back to the fight. Dundee pulled a big surprise in the first session when he rushed out of his turner, tore after Leouard, lauded a shower of lefts and rights, stepped back 'nd.6paked him again before the champion knew what had happened. Many believed Johnny was taking unnecessary chances and would tire himself out before the fifth round, but such was not the case. He kept on going, with Benny on the defensive or missing many punches, but landing often enough to keep the lead. Near the end of the first he staggered Dundee with a vicious right uppercut and sent him to his. corner in a dazed condition. The second round was very fast, with Dundee still on the aggressive. He continued to muss things up and Benny received many jabs in the face.

Benny, however, took the fourth when he stood toe to toe p with his foe and all but put him to the IQHyXY came back strong in the fifth and, tchile Leonard teas taking things easy, piled up enough points to carry the round. In the sixth, howeier, Dundee teas tired and Benny stepped out and made the decision unanimous. But he failed to land a Knockout wallop, which did not add to the pleasure of his evening. Eddie Moy Refuses to Quit TTIDDIE, MOT gave a great exhibition of gameness in the semifinal, although he lost by a mile to Irish Patsy Gline. The Allentown boy took everything banded out by Patsy, came back for more and kept on fighting. In the first round he got in bad when Cline, after jabbing him around the ting, shot over a short right hook and bent him to the canvas. He arose at the count of nine, staggered around and would have had a stormy voyage if Billy Pnrcell hadn't pulled the gong and ended the round. It looked like curtains in the second, but IMdie refused to quit. He kept V"' on fighting, while Patsy took things easy, OHymaKcr. -uuj -nus mu juai m ican u.u ujicuiuk, mi uuuiuer rounu passed.

However, he got careless near the end and this gac Moy some needed confidence. Cline tried to end things in the fourth, hitting Eddie with a choice assort ment of jabs, books and jolts, to say nothing of swinging slams. Moy took all ol themt smiled and came back for more. He decided not to take an early nap and allowed Patsy to punch himself out Moy put on a rally in the fifth when Cline began to show signs of fatigue, jsnd staggered Patsy with a hard right to the whiskers. The Irish person was groggy and Eddie kept after him. Cline was on the defensive and became ery tired before the gong sounded.

Go TO 'SMMI uPl T Many Delayed in Gaining En trance Few Police to Handle 'Crowd RAINS PROMISES RELIEF Fight fans got the "razz" at the Phillies' Ball Park last night. They suffered the only knockout on jthe pro gram. And to many of them it was a hard blowi The bouts were booked to start at 8.30 o'clock. And they did. But those who didn't get inside the gates a half hour before that time hadn't a chance to get the scats they paid for. They got seats some of them but it was a grand scramble all the way through, and the fellow who won out was the one who could climb best over rows of chairs. Promoter Leon Rains, who staged the bouts, said today that he had previously arranged to hare sufficient patrolmen on tyie job, but that not enough men were spnt bj the department to handle the crowds. Iu explaining the lack of ushers, Rains declared he had accepted the offer to have marines on the job after it had been explained that the men were actu ally on military duty and would remain where the were posted. "It heems," said Rains, "that the bens in khaki left thffr posts at the hrst sign of a fight and the fans had to dig for themselves. It is unfortunate, but under the new arrangement no one will suffer." It is estimated that a crowd some where in the neighborhood of 15,000 persons saw the bouts. It is a safe bet that of the 10,000 who edged, and crowded their way through the narrow turnstiles that jammed the entrances to the very few gates opened to admit the crowd, not more than a few hun dred who happened to get inside the park somewhere after sundown, saw an usher. Announcement wns made later in the evening that a detachment of marines from the Philadelphia Navy Yard had consented, at the request of Mnjor A. J. Drexel Biddle, to serve as ushers and lead the fight fans to their, seats. But the marines, at the first sound ot the bell staging the initial prelimi nary bout beat it from the stands and spent the remainder of a pleasant eve ning on the tur,f at the ringside. There was nothing doing in the ushering line when the blows started. And the "devil dogs" surp held up their repu tation of being the first at the fight. World Series Crowd In the meantime, outside the few gates that the management saw fit to open to the fans, there was a regula tion world's series crowd jamming and pushing its way into the narrow en trances nnd edging right and left in a ain effort to reach the several windows where tickets were on sale. There was an average of about one patrolman to every 300 persons. And if the crowd hadn't been good-natured and orderly, except for jamming and edging in front of the entrances, it might have been a different story. At the Fifteenth and Huntingdon streets entrance, where the higher priced tickets were being sold, there was one lone patrolman inside the en trance doing bis best to keep An order a throng of nearly 3000 persons. All hfi could do was stand there where he had been planted and plead with the crowd to "take It easy." Sticks in Turnstile But the bouts had started and tbe fans wanted to get inside tbe gate. Most of them were without tickets, and in their hands held rolls of bills ready for the ticket-sellers. Inside the gate, just beyond the lone patrol man, was a line five deep In front of the ticket window. Men climbed on each other's shoulders trying to reach the ticket agent. Heverat clambered to tbe top of the turnstiles that blocked paa sage into the park. One man, who weighed, about 240 founds ringedda, -et rtwk In the turnsole with 'nM W,H WK JWM IWp WHAT A MONKEY Netv Seating Arrangement for Fights in Future Promoter Leon Rains announced today that because of the seating congestion at the Phillies' ball park last night there would be n new re setting nrrangement enforced at subsequent shows under his man agement. Hereafter, there will be no num bered seats, except those in boxes. It will be a case of "first come, first served." Three sections will be allotted to the fight fans. One will include the $1 scats; another the $2 seats and a third the 53 seats. Ticket holders will take what seats they can get aud the "early birds" will get first choice. "This," commented Mr. Rains, "will avoid all confusion and give every fan a square deal." to get a ticket before he would budge. He stuck it out in good shape, too, but in the meantime there were possibly 2000 others behind men and women who were pushing and edging their wav to the entrance. The patrolman -was helpless every time the crowd surged toward the gates. He merely had the chance to throw up his hands and urge the crowd to "take it casj." He was as help less as Joe Borrell in the fifth round of his battle with Irish Patsy Cline. But there was no referee to stop the battle at the gates and the patrolman in side merely well, he just stood his ground. Several women in the crowd were crushed. It might have been worse had the crowd started any rough house. But ever body seemed good naturcd and, while the fans railed at the abso lute lack of any executive ability in crowd-handling, they did their Jurn dest to make the best of the situation. Detectives on Hand The same situation was staged at the several other entrances to the )ark. Detectives were scattered through the crowds to keep their eyes open for pick pockets, but there was a lack of pa trolmen to handle the crush. The streets were jammed by automobiles of every description. Crowds lined both sides of Huntingdon and Fifteenth streets, and Broad street was thronged clear into the center of the thorough fare. Many of the fans who hadn't pur chased tickets in advance were up against a wait of several hours before they could get near enough to the ticket windows to plank down tbelr money for the cardboards. Those with tickets, jammed in with the prospective purchasers. Many got into the wrong entrances, but by the time the "patrol man on the inside bad warned them to "go 'round to the other gate," it was -virtually impossible for them to move one way or the other. No Ushers In Sight Once on the inside the fans faced a situation that was even more chaotic. No ushers in sight and thousands look ing helplessly about the grandstands for their seats. Many of them, found tbe section and the row in which tbey had been placed, but they were up against tbe proposition of taking what seats they could land. Usually the fans found their reserved seats occupied by other fans. There was no use of any arguments. Tbe fights had started on time and those fortu nate enough to get on the inside early in the evening were howling to the'un avoidably detained late-comers to "sit down." But most'of them found no place to sit. The marines were down on the ball park turf. There wasn't any person In sight who looked llfie an usher and it was a case of grab what they could get and be grateful that tbey bad got inside tbe turnstiles. Crowds three and four deep lined" the aisles and cross-entrances to the reserv ed seat sections. Tbey pushed and edged their way along with tbe fans in front ot them. And if they were lucky to nnd an unoccupied chair they just dropped Into it or climbediover an aisle or two of chairs and made tbe best of things. Fans with reserved seat 'tickets in their hands crowded tbe stairways and sat on the pavilion girders. They lined the aisles to the rear ot tbe pavilions and hung on as best they could. All the while they railed and howled at the management and denounced the failure rf th ujbt pftM-s'MjNfiy fahymflri IN THE ZOO THINKS ABOUT W1LLARD FAVORITE Champ, Growing Stronger and Faster, Is Virtually Annihi lating Sparring Partners JACK WORKS OUT LIGHTLY Toledo, 0., June 17. Jess Willard is growing stronger, faster and more con tented day by day as he prepares for his ooming battle w ith Jack Dempsey. Home time ago it was freely pre dicted there was a very good chance for the challenger to enter the ring with the champion at even money betting. There isn't a chance for this now it was believed today. lollowing yesterday's vicious work out Jess's stock soared to a beicht it has never achieved before. The hie pugilist simply annihilated his sparring partners in the most ferocious training battles ever seen in his camp. Critics who saw him from the very first day of his training declare he has improved COO per cent. Jess Boxes Fnst Jess stepped so fast the sparring partners were sent at him in relays first Hempcl and Hdncn and then Monahan. On two occasions Heinen took cracks that caused his knees to bend and Willard -w aa-forced to call off the artillery while his target recuperated. He eased up a bit on Hempel, but shot heavy right and lefts at Monahan as long as Walter would take them with out running. r , i m . ... iciuiisey s myoa irom noxing is turning attention to the Willard camn Dempsey is determined that there will be no damage done to his eye. There fore, he is taking his own advice to a great extent, in keeping away from boxing while,training. Probably Fri day or Saturday he may work with sparring partners. Specials From East? Information which has reached here is to the effect that the government ban on specials to the big hght provides only that trains shall not be run from the East. Trains from the West, it is asserted, will not be halted. So far, according to Tex Rickard, 170 special trains have been provided to bring spectators to Toledo for the bout.

A NAME OF MIKE BRADY LURES KID GLEASON TO TITLE GOLF PLA Y Baseball Philosophy, as Expounded by Peppeny White Sox Boss, Holds on Links as Well as Diamond. Not Beaten Till Game's O'er . ' , IN THE SPOltTLlGHT BY GJIANTLAND RICE Copyiizht, 1910. All tight reserved. TO KID GLEASON, the game and aggressive manager of the Whl e Sox, a competition is a competition and a battle is a battle. For the Kid belongs to the ancient order when a ball game was a young war with a rough and tumble appeal. Now the Kid had never paid any particular attention to golf. Golf to him was just one of those soft and spongy games that don't belong. It must have been that the Kid "by chance Saw where one'Mlchael Brady was tied for the open championship at Brae Burn. As we figure It, this name must have lured the Kid out, for when Hngcn nnd Brady stood at tbe first tee there was the Kid only a few yards awny. TUE MADE the journey around together and by the fifth hole the " "'c Kid was pretty well adjacent to what it was all about, being a keen obscner with aq eye open for the main details, . Refused to Quit THE Kid naturally was pulling for Mike Brady. What else could he do with a name of that type on the card? And when Brady was four strokes behind at the tenth bole and even his most ardent supporters had yielded all hope, the Kid refused to quit. "Beaten?" said the Kid, when some one remarked that Brady was through, "Why beaten? The mntch isn't oVer yet. is it? No man named Mike Brady is beaten until the game is done. Watch him stmt." Whereupon Michael started in nnd won three of the next four holes by one of the finest rallies ever seen. He wns beaten at the finish, but only nfter a grand battle all the way. But nil through the round the game Kid was grumbling at those who had given up hope. "A good, game man is never beaten," he added later on, "and it's a big handicap to any marl out there trying when all his friends quit." There's quite a bit of philosophy in that last statement. TUIORE than one entry has curled up because he knew that his friend IT had lost faith in his ability to win. The KicFs Pennant Outlook KID GLEASOy'S stand back of Mike Brady, holding on until the fina". putt, exemplifies the new spirit of the White Sox. This club may be beaten, butit will never quit, for Gleason has set them In this frame of mind. "There are days," he said, "when we can't hit much, and there are days when our pitching goes bad. There are days when the breaks are all against us, too, but there nre no days when we are not out there bustling and fighting and giving the best we have. And it will be just this way to the end of the race. "J don't believe in ovcrconfidencc," he said, "any more than I believe in underconfidence. But I believe that every "man ought to feel that as long as he is willing to make his fight for it he has got his chance to win." fOXSlDERABLE institution the Kid. Be stalks like a ghost from the ancient days oe of the old-timers who knew the seamy side of the game some twenty-five to thirty years ago. And if there is any one who knows more basebatl ihanjic does it hasn't been shown so far. Back'to Old' Chris GLEASON tells a story in connection with Chris Von der Ahc, one of the rarest characters of the game. The Kid had been pitching for St. Louis and his arm began to crumble up. So Von der Ahc let him go. The next year Gleason showed up at second base for Philadelphia, where he immediately began to star, both at bat and in the field. When he reached St. Louis Chris was mortally offended nt his old pitcher. "Vy is it," he said, "you didn't tell me you vas a second baseman also? Vy did you hide it from me ven you could pitch no more?" Short and stocky pitchers of the Gleason type are now rare in baseball. The game has veered toward the lanky type under the rating of "tall and rangy guy." The tall and rangy guy has the call. yAUOHN, Alexander, Johnson, Perry most of the, winners, are - well above the average in build. Ferdy Schupp is one of the few slightly built pitching stars of recent years, T SEE," writes Hokus, "that both . Ir. Willard and Mr. Dcmpse. express J. themselves as being confident of winning. Does any one believe that either would openly confess he had no chance to win, evenif he felt that way about it? Wnsn't it Mr. Frank Moran who was going to knock Wiliard-cold in about five rounds, aud wasn't Mr. Willard perfectly sure that he was going to stop Mr. Moran well within the limit? Or am I all wrong?" T710RM," remarked an expert, "is that brief interval betwt.n getting ready X1 and going stale." Does Jack Dcmpse?, who is reported fit, believe he can maintain that "brief interval" for the next four weeks? The marvel of It Is the vast number of people who reach the top well In advance of the big; test and then wonder why they cracked when the main show was opened.
