CHAMPION MEETS CHAMPION TONIGHT WHEN LEONARD AND LEWIS BATTLE AT NEWARK Two Great Boxing Champions, Leonard and Lewis Meet Today The prime sporting, event in Amer ica of this date was the eight-round bout, carrying with it victory of the world's welterweight championship, between the present titleholder, Ted Lewis and the lightweight champion, Benny Leonard, scheduled to take place at International League Base ball park, Xewadk, N. J. Even though Leonard loses, his title is not en dangered, for he is going out of his class to make the weight of 141 pounds. On the other hand if Leon ard puts his opponent out he will have an unique record of dropping champions in three classes, Freddy Welsh and Johnny Kilbane being the other victims. The battle is expected to be bit terly fought, for during three years the rivalry was keen, accentuated, declares "Hype" Igoe, "because of differences that cropped up between Jimmy Johnston and Billy Gibson, respective managers of Lewis and Leonard. The men berated each other in bitter tones all over the country, and their managers were two jumps behind them. It reminded one of the old-time feuds between Fitzsimmons and Jim Corbett. "Jimmy Johnston accused Leonard of weighing nothing short of a ton, and in reply Billy Gibson said that Leonard would win the welterweight title the moment Lewis broke away from Jimmy Johnston. The break came and the match will be fought out to-night." Experts are all at sea over the prospective results. Clever and hard hitting both of them. Leonard aggressive and a deadly man with his right; Lewis a brilliant defensive fighter and no mean swatter himself. He is the hardest man in the world to hit with a right hand with the possible excep tion of Jack Britton. Thftt he has gone through eighteen different fights with Jack Britton without being top pled is a record in itself. He is an amazingly fast finisher if he gets a man going. High Class Boxing Promised For Motive Power Bouts The best boxing show seen in Har risburg for many a day will be that staged on Thursday night next by the Motive Power Athletic Association in its big arena which for the first time will welcome members of the fair sex who are interested in witnessing high class exhibitions of the manly art.

Probably the star bout will be one just arranged, the opponents being a real, live Redskin, "Indiana" Russell, wliojs to mingle with Jack Wolbert, bo;J#ll pounders. The hardy red skin is in service and got permission to have one last go in the squared circle. U. S.

HIUCKLEY STARS IX GAME Charley Brlckley, hero at Harvard several years ago, showed that he had lost none of his cunning in leading the eleven at the Naval Transport Department to a hard earned victory over the U, S. S. Arizona on Stevens field. Hoboken. Saturday. It was the timely aggressiveness of Brlckley that enabled htm to score the win ning touchdown In the final two min utes of play. The score was 10 to 6, and Brlckley tallied all the points for his team. Neither team has enjoyed more than several days' practice, conse quently they did not know their sig nals thoroughly and lacked cohesion In their plays. However, they went at their work with a vim, and on many occasions deviated from the old form of 'straight line football. Three forward passes, attempted by the Arlzonla combination went awry, ■while the Naval team managed to complete three of the nine that Brlckley shot to "Rip" Flannery, who was the biggest v help to hia team. "You Know Me, Allah" Brought Home Run The United War Work Campaign News Bureau, which handles pub licity for Y. M. C. A, the K. of C. and most of the other activities of the kind, sends out to-day an au thentic little anecdote as follows A Y. M. C. A. athletic director was teaching an international crowd of soldiers to play baseball in a field not very far back from the lines. He had been coaching a young chap from Morocco for sev eral days. Just as the blackfaced fighter took up the bat, he raised his right hand. raised his face toward the Fast and with great reverence said : "Allah be praised." Then he made a home run. The next man at the bat was a husky young American. Raising his hand high, and glancing at the same beautiful sky, the boy from home said: "You know me, Al." He got beaned. MONDAY EVENING, HXRRISBURG TELEGRAPH SEPTEMBER 23, 1918. 1 Leonard, on the other hand, if he hooks his man to the point of grog giness, becomes very much flustered and wastes many a telling punch by misdirecting it. He proved that even on the night he won his title. With Welsh helpless on the ropes in a standing position, Benny battered away blindly at a mass of elbows and bullet proof spots on the Welsh anatomy. Of course, he won the title, but not in a clean cut, Joe Gans way of doing things. When Gans got a man wandering around in woozyland he boiled his finishing blows down to one punch. Leonard hits hard and often when he gets his man going, but not in the short, jolting way that Gans did. Lewis hits shorter, though not as hard, perhaps. He has a great deal more of ring experience than Leon ard and uses every trick that he ever picked up on his plod around the world. Naturally he has a pull in the weights and if for no other reason on earth than "a good little man can't whip a good big man," his admirers will wager on him. Leonard's dashing, smashing at-J tack will carry a world of followers to-night. A year ago we would have ( thought that Benny's dash and youthful speed would have made it possible for him to stop Lewis. May be the exactness of army camp train- ing has robbed Ben of some of his. speed. He must be fast, as fast as] ever he was, to cope with Lewis to- j night. The long layoff will swing the advantage in Ted's favor. The chances so equalized, it's any j man's fight to-night. That it will be honestly fought goes] without saying, because the men, i even though they were fools enough to try any hippodroming, would ruin ] themselves as public favorites for all time. As champions in their respec tive classes, titles won by the hardest; kind of fighting, they are entitled to: the fullest confidence. - | The bout which promises fast going 1 1 is that between Tim D'roney, the Lan caster phenom and Leo Vincent, of : Philadelphia, formerly amateur light -1 weight champion. And Sammy ! ; Schiff. after distinguishing himself . in Philadelphia recently will be a . j big drawing card. He is to appear in the semifinals against Frankie [ j Clark, a very good boxer.

MARKSMEN GET FIRST HONORS Winners of the Philadelphia Trapshootcrs' League Open ing Saturday at Lansdale The Pennsylvania Railroad Gun Club won the first honors in the Philadelphia Trapshooters' League season, which opened Saturday, with the preliminary at Lansdale. A. J. MaeDowell, the club secretary, turn ing in the high score for the day, breaking ninety-eight out of the cen tury, called for on the program. The crisp autumn day put lots of "pep" into the shooters and good scores were numerous. More than a hundred members of the league entered the competition, the hundred targets were divided into four events, and L. L. Swartz, secretary of the Lansdale Club, fired the first shot, coming through with twenty-five straight in this event. MaeDowell had both of his losses in the second event, being a profes sional, he was not eligible to the trophies offered. The shoot was conducted on the Lewis class system, and as it was too late to shoot off the great number of ties that resulted, the winners were chosen by drawing. The score of ninety-five topped Class A, where J. C. Griffith and Isaac Wolstencroft won out over Horace, Lodge and W. D. Rodgers. There were also four ties at ninety-one in Class B, J. B. Clark and J. Duncusky drawing the trophies away from Fred Tomlin and John Riggs. The Lansdale boys made sure of both trophies in Class C, the four eighty-seven scores being credited to members of this club. A Achuff and George Accor drew the trophies, while J. B. Felver ahd D. E. Edwards were drawing blanks. Eighty-three proved the most popu lar winning score as there were eight ties for the two trophies in Class D. H. W. Jeffrey, a railroad shooter, and William E. Robinson, the league secretary, drew the lucky tickets. There was a lone sev enty-seven, made by L. T. Himmel wright, which topped the DClass, while J. C. Hoffman and S. M. Croth ers were obliged to draw for the sec ond trophy, Hoffman getting the trophy. Beat Jack Frost to Woods, Says Marshall The lands and waters are beckon ing to fishermen, anglers and lovers of outdoor life and nature's wonders. Hark to the call of the wild, respond to the silent whispers of the Ked Gods. This class when analyzed, is the outcropping of the migratory in stincts, desires and impulses, pos sessing mankind during the fall sea son. Birds are impelled by the same influences which predominate in man and they move southward to a different clime. Each and every one now has an inclination to travel, to go some where, there is no special objective point, but we want to go. "Dog days" have come and gone. Jack Frost will soon be nibbling at the leaves and grass, changing the verdant green to combination red and yellow autumn tints. That wee small voice within is continually urging us to go afield, where God's handiwork can at all times be seen and enjoyed. Trees with their seered and falling leaves; hills and valleys changing their summer garb for the warmer tints of winter; rocks which defy disinte gration or the changing seasons; streams, cold as ice and clear as crystal, are teeming with those speckled beauties. Immediately an swer the call; you will be the guest of Dame Nature in her virgin forest home. You will be made most wel come, remaining contented within her walls, where you will be properly urged to take more frequent and longer pulls upon her latch string, swinging open the door of longevity, which will admit you to the portals of good health and continued happi ness, which can only be acquired by an intimate acquaintance with out door life. You will become possessed with that inward feeling of peace and contentment, oblivious to the fact the outside world Is in chaos and turmoil. As Dame Nature's star boarder, you will feel at peace with mankind as an entirety. The forest home of your premier hostess, its primitive settings and environments will allay that migratory feeling which has been scratching at your "innards." September is migrating time for mankind. Make your flight to the lakes and woods. Fill your creel with those speckled beauties or those bronze warriors—the small mouth bass. Possibly one of those 1 battling tigers, the muscalonge, may sally forth and give battle, eventual ly to be landed. Answer the Red God's call.
