This Is the third time the chnmplen hag rngnsnl In a decliien battle InNew Yerk alnce defeating Freddy Welsh. He knocked out Jee Welling aud Wtchle Mitchell and probably will add another K. O. te his record tonight. Spert Editor Erenbc Fublle Ledger it ktTe claimed that Leenard Is a welterweight, wme even going se far as te rVimmUlnn '.n.l tlirt- urn Irnn-hnnnil I ilgh In nt 135 pound, at 2 o'clock the must step en tne scales nuu aiiew uimscu 10 De wcigucu uy a rejiiuei-uiu-tire of the State. The chamnlen. however. !. net worrying. Jack We!ntcln, who has been t cemmutlne te New Tork since Leenard J j weighed 134 pounds one day latt week, f smm (w WfJnnclnr nfi.. m lintel i: weighed J!HJ1& pounds, and he would be below the legal limit when lie Is t weighed this afternoon. All of which Is quite interesting and sets at icst the I rumors that be no longer Is able te make the lightweight limit. iJ There la n let of excitement In boxing circle ecr the championship r f tilt tonight. Short-end betters have nu Idea that Kniipns will spring n sur- ' prise because Leenard has net been boxing much and might show the effects of the long layoff. They point te the Mitchell contest, when Rltchle hung ene en Benny's jaw In the first round and almost knocked him loose from his title. Of course, Benny wen the battle when he scored n knockout In the fifth, but jrhe was en the icrge of taking the long voyage when Mitchell connected. If It Kansas lnnds n solid smash en the chin it will be a different story. Recky ! has n hefty wallop and is dangerous at all times. i However, this Is only the grandoldepc. It means nothing. Benny boxed ;$ Kansas last June and the bout went twelve rounds In Harrison, N. J. It JJwas said that the champion was given a hard battle, but the wlte persons ii did net take It seriously. THE fight should be threicn out in tonight. In the ether fuss Ilcnny , nothing ca at stake. Aeic there is a rtreiiii tacked en and the JJ champion tcilt take no chances. He c(3 Jitd the quarrel as seen us J 2 , powiefe. j Tcndler Still en Leenard's Trail 5 "COVERT, time Leenard engages In a bl? battle talk Is revived about a match j --1 with Lew Tcndler. The local southpaw still is doing business and hate I te be kept waiting for a chance nt the title. He ha? demonstrated time and j again that he Is the he--t lightweight in the world outside of the champion. iad believes he pan win the title. He Is peeved ever the sudden ending of Ijtha bout scheduled te be held here last summer, when Benny broke his hand : J five days before the party. . Tendler boxed two hard bouts with Sailor Frecdman here and managed te slide threupb en hnlr-llnn decisions. Mnny believed he was going back, 'nd when he Ien a fifteen-round dccNlen te Kansas they were, sure of it. However, he met rrcedman lu the CSarden last December nnd knocked Selly I 'all ever the pine. II almost had him out In the second round, and prebnbly ; would baic scored a knockout If hlt hand hal net been Injured. Frecdman, I liewever, put up n gime struggle nnd succeeded in weathering the bterm. J After Lcenaid gets through with Kansas which he should with llttle .difficulty, nccerdlng te the dope Lew probably will have te mingle with jthe Recky person again te wipe out that defeat. Afterward he again will ; .belli line for a shot at the title, providing that Benny will listen te his oratory. t i The lightweight division Is thinning out. Dundee, Kansas, Jacksen and 1 Charley White arc the eteians still in action, and Bebby Barrett, Jimmy Dougherty's young battler, seems te be the most premising of the new crop. !! Thus it tan be Been thnt Tendler is the only real contender and deserves a title bout. There is no doubt thnt the battle will attract lets of interest jjjand.draw an enormous crowd if held this summer. But will It EVER be Wbeld? Leenard Intends te keep en fighting after tonight's brawl. He Is booked 'te meet Jack Britten, the welterweight chnmplen, en March 17, and this match should be the bigget of the year. The champions met once before In a six-round bout In Philadelphia. Britten sprang a big surprise nnd In the fth round had Benny In bad shape, after landing a hard right en the jaw. We gave the decision te Britten that ulght. 'THE veteran champion is no set-up for anybody and Leenaid icill . net have an easy time of it. Britten is tee foxy and knetct tee much te be handed less than an even chance. Open Meeting of Semi-Pre League Tonight HOWARD M. DONOVAN, temporary president of the Semi-professional League, has called a meeting of" nil managers nt Hetel Walten tonight. This will be nn open affair, and In answer te numerous telephone inquiries we wish te state that cerjbedy is Invited and will be given a chance te air his views. The movement te organize a permanent body te control the twilight sport la growing rapidly and Mr. Donevnn ibas received many applications for membership. Last week some twenty-eight clubs were represented, nnd to night it is expected that at least thirty mere will attend. Among the new applicants are Straw brldge & Clothier, HiUdale, Chester, Aberfoyle of Chester; Hatch Meters, St. Barnabas. St. Carthage, Marshall E. Smith Lit Brethers, Lansdnle, Quaker City Pres, Evening Ledger and the Phila delphia Manufacturers' League. Bill Reper, head coach of Princeton, and Judge Patterson, members of the Arbitration Beard, will address the meeting. They will outline their plans for the coming season. There is llttle likelihood of adopting any rules at tonight's meeting. The organisatien will have te be perfected first, nnd then a committee shall draw up a constitution and bylaws. The name probably will be the Phila delphia Baseball Association. It will take at least a month te get the organization down te a working basis, and all of the members are working hard te get this done. The game will benefit when under control of a governing body.
