Arthur Chambers was the first of lightweight bare knuckle pugilists to establish his claim to the premfer po- sition in this class when defeated Billy Edwards in Canada, September 4, 1872. Chambers is generally ac- corded the title until 1884 . when he | Fran retired and was succeeded ' by Jack Dempsey. The latter soon gréw. too heavy and advanced to the = welter- weight division, being succeeded in turn by Jack McAduliffe. He reigned supreme until 1893 when he retired undefeated, being the last of . the lightweight champions to lay aside the glovés without a blemish upon his record.

Kilbane, since his fight with Fred- dy Welsh here a few weeks ago, has been more eager than ever in quest of the lightweight title. His man- ager, Jimmy Dunn, was on hand the night Leonard flagged Welsh to dick- er for a match with the winner of the fight. Since then he has signca with Matt Hinkel of Cleveland for a Leonard fight. 5 ] A fight between this pair ought to attract more interest than any other fistic engagement in prospect. Kil- bane surely is the master of his class and Leonard won the right to his honors in straight and stern combar. Unless it be Charlie White, it s doubtful whether there is a legit- imate lightweight in the country who can give Leonard a_tougher fight than Kilbane, Just how soon Leonard will want to take on a real opponent of Kil- bane's calibre can best be told from the decision which Billy Gibsen makes in handling the Hinkel propo- sition. Benny stated before he won his title that he proposed to get into Uncle Sam’s service. No doubt he veally expects to engage actively !n military duty before much longer. However, before he does boxing en- thusiasts would like to see him staze at Jeast one good battle wth an op- ponent of high class such as Kilbane.

When the race in the parent league opened the dopesters didn't give the Cubs a io>k in. On paper the team didn't look very good. Outside of one or two players there weren't any %right stars.

New York, June 12.—“I'll stop Jack | Britton on Thursday night in New York as Leonard stopped Freddy Welsh,” said Ted Lewis yesterday. “There will be no questioning the rightful holder of the world’s welter- welght title after Thursday,” con- tinued Jimmy Johnson’s whirlwind battler. “I'll knock him out sure. Indeed I am so certain of this that I'll bet on the resuit.” “Lewis has shown himself to be one of the mast aggressive and best two- handed fighters ever seen in New York.
