RING FANS PAY $50,000 TO SEE LEONARD BEAT RITCHIE; MOTIVE CLUB BOXING TONIGHT Boxing* Fans Pay $30,000 to See Leonard Beat Ritchie Eleven thousand boxing tans at Newark last night saw America's lightweight champion, Benny Leon ard, give Willie Ritchie such a terri ble drubbing that the referee stop ped the fight in the eighth round with Ritchie hanging helpless to the ropes. No title was at stake. Ritchie thought he could win, though there was little betting on him even by those who claimed Leonard never had shown himself a great boxer, with a knockout. Stepping into the ring, located in the First Regiment Armory, before a mighty arena which included many women, Ritchie, who formerly held the lightweight title found a dif ferent Leonard confronting him from the one who defeated him in their four-round bout on the coast. Leonard started out in the first round like a flash and landed a right to the jaw to start. Ritchie looked like a novice when he missed a right and left to the jaw, and Benny slip ped across a right uppercut to the 153 PLAYERS SIGNED IN DAUPHIN-PERRY The six clubs of the Dauphin- Perry baseball league have a total of 153 resident players signed for the 1919 season that will open May 17. Newport heads tho. list with 41 tos eers signed up as "residents." Dun cannon has the least number with but 14. To this total may be added by each club, five nonresident play ers, whose names must be turned into league officials by May 2. This latter ruling gives managers an op portunity to supplement home talent with stars from the outside, whose presence helps to make a better rounded out aggregation. As composed at present the league consists of Duncannon, Marysville, Mifflin, Millersburg, Newport and Reedsville. Lcwistown and Port Royul are clamoring for admission, and the matter will be considered further at the meeting to be held Thursday night in the storeroom of Shcnk and Tittle. At this meeting plans will be completed for the open ing contests two weeks from Satur day. The resident players complete are as follows: Duncannon—John J.

Ritchie missed several lefts to the face while Leonard hooked two hard rights to the jaw and "won the round by a considerable margin. One grand mixup marked the opening of the second round as both men stood in the middle of the ring and slugged. From then on Leonard began to tear in. .He floored Ritchie in the second round for thp count of nine and it was easy sailing for the champion from then on although Ritchie fought like a wild man, try ing to even matters up until the eighth round when he was sent down by Leonard's terrific rights and Referee Brennan stopped the- bout with forty seconds to go in order to save Ritchie from being knocked out. The former champion was on the floor at the time, and had no chance of withstanding Leonard's assaults any longer. Dave Mackey, promoter of the af fair, announced that at 3 o'clock Leonard weighed 126'/3 pounds and Ritchie 130 . The receipts were es timated at about ?50,000. Bergey, W. T. Beward, E. C.

"Neps" Bowers, president of the Galahad Recreation Club and pitcher for that organization, is a member of Com pany E, Fifty-sixth Pioneer Infantry, and had the photo taken at Coblenz recently. While Americans have come to frown upon things "made in Ger many," Allison Hill fans will appre ciate the accompanying cut, even though the picture was "made in Germany." "Neps" hopes to be home before the close of the season, and will be ready to take his turn in the box, as ho is a member of the pitch ing staff of his Company's baseball nine.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Boxing Program Tonight at Motive Power Club One of the niftiest sparring sched ules framed by Harrisburg promo ters is the Motive Power show to night at its arena. Seventh and Boyd streets. The premier bout, with Joe McCarron and Young Weyman, is advertised as the best card, but Mo tive Power patrons are even more eager to witness the go between Rube Bennett and McGoorty. The latter has never appeared here, but Bennett's prowess is well known and admired. He is a clean article; powerful, fast and does not hang on. Manager Charley Ettinger vouches that McGoorty, after eleven months ir. the U. S. service overseas, is in excellent shape and a match for Bennett, so this encounter should be tie luxe. Another fray of uncommon inter est is the Loeehner-Graney mixup. Loechner .lost out at Joe Barrett's show to Mahoney the other night, being hissed by tlie fans; surely a mean return for a chap who was gassed in the Argonne Forest and is only gelting back to normal shape now. He is said to be twenty per cent, stronger after a week's rest and Graney will have his work cut Jack Ozar Squeezes Lewis Headlock on Wrestler Irslinger I.chanon.

Dauphin-Perry Meets to Complete League Two applications for bertlis in tho Dauphin-Perry League will be con sidered at a meeting of league dele gates at a meeting on Thursday evening in the Slienk & Tittle store.

Victory to Great Assembly of Students At a fifteen-minute assembly held yesterday morning by students of the Technical High school, Coach BeWiro, of the Tech track team, told the story of how Tech won the relay race at Penn last Saturday in Cats 1. The banner was also shown i to tlie school that will be hung in the Tech trophy room. It was the fourth pennant that I camo to Tech in the last seven years. I If any other school in this sect'on I of the country can better that rec- j ord, Tech students would like to , hear from them. Tech flyers started the ball rolling back in 1913 when j Paul Furman's aggregation won first I place from Phoenixville, Pottstown, j Bc'Wfc k, York, Lancaster, East on. i Allcntown and Lower Morion High ! schools. Then Captain "Davey" Heffel fingor fetched home another pen nant assisted by Demming, now starring with Penn State; Stitoler and Stansfield. This quartet hoid t v t Tech record, but the present enw will go after the mark. Then Captain "Jawn" Demming ran as anchorman for tlie 1916 quartet, and no matter in what position Dem mini; took the baton, lie was always sure fo lead the procession at the tape. f'enn officials then began lo "wise lip" on Tech ability, and desiring to keep the Penn banners well dis tributed over the country, moved Tech away up in tho classification. The 1916 aggregation ran away from Reading, Steelton, Wiliiamsport, Johnstown and Harrisburg Central. In Class 1, Saturday, Teeli bad a smart field pitted against it with Stuyvcsant and DeWitt Clinton, of New York City: Albany, N. Y.; Cen tral and West High schools of Phila delphia; McKinley Manual, Wash ington, and East Orange. N. J. Now that Tech has won in the high est regular classifications, tho only alternative left is to place a team in the championship class next year. And If the Maroon does enter the 'APRIL 20, 1019, championships of America, Harris burg will have lots more to be proud of, l'or Captain Carl Beck and his colleagues will be strong factors at the finish.
