Leonard, in a letter to Flovd Fitz- s'mmons, promoter of the Leonard- ¥riedman fight here July 4, announc es that he will remain in the ring game a maximum of six months longer. During the next six months, Leon- “ard says, he will “meet all the worth- while opponents left in the light- weizht field, clean them out, and re- tire with half a million dollars, while I still have two good ears and a rtraight nose.” “I have two good ears and my nose se still just as nature wanted it to be,” writes Benny. “I have never won any beauty prizes, but I'm very proud of the fact that I have exposed these yarts to perhaps a million boxing sloves—and still have preserved them, I mean to keep them too. am worth half a million.

No, the world 1s mistaken if it thinks Benny is going to go the way of many others in the profession. “When I have met all the worth- while opponents in the field, and i do not think that will require more than six months more, I'm going to put the old gloves in the moth balls and call it quits. The boxing world has been kind to me and I'm going chrough to the finish. Then, I don't think the fans will have any com- plaint.

New York, July 1.—The crowd at- tending the Dempsey-Carpentier bout, the largest in the history of the sport also will be the most orderly that has witnessed a heavyweight title bout, police officials of the metropolitan district promised to- day. Elaborate preparations for the pro- tection of spectators from pickpock- ets have been made by Jersey City police. Co-operation has been of- fered by the forces of other cities in the metropolitan arena. Most novel in the plan to prevent confusion will be the establishment of a “dead line” extending approxi- mately four blocks on all sides of the arena. Bluecoats stationed at in- tervals of a few yards on this bound- ary, will bar admittance to all per- sons who do not possess tickets or other proper credentials. The issue of bogus tickets has add- ed to the problems confronting Pro- moter Tex Rickard and the police authorities. Persons presenting such tickets will be held up in the effort to chase down the counterfeiters. A “court of last appeal” composed of a dozen or more engravers will be furnished by Rickard before which persons with counterfeit tickets will be taken for expert decision as to the worth of the questioned paste- boards. Precaution taken against the pos- sibility of fire virtually eliminate such danger. The gates of the arena have been closed to the cele- brated *“hot dog” friend of the hun- gry “fight fans.” Newspapers must be left outside the dead-line due to the danger of ignition from cigar or cigarette. Sandwiches and cold drinks will be the recognized menu staples. Two hose companies and four hundred firemen will guard against fire. Even medical officials enlisted in the campaign for public safety. An emergency hospital will be established a few hundred yards from the arena with equipment to handle adequately » all cases which the heat of the day, and numerous other emergencies may develop. have been LIKES CARP’S PUNCHING. | French an Says It Will Win for Georges.

Paris, July 1.—Having sold a car- load of vegetables at the Paris Cen- tral Markets with a handsome profit, August Dumoulin of Dijon, Burgundy Provinge, was enjoying an expensive meal in one of the select boulevard restaurants when two well dressed youns men took seats at the next table. They began a discussion of the sreat fight which is about to take place across the seas, both of them favoring Dempsey’s chances of vVie- tory. Dumoulin’s npational pride was hurt, and he upbraided the young men for their lack of patriotism. One of them explained it was not a ques- tion of patriotism, but of science, and offered to demonstrate to Dumoulin Dempsey’s favorite “clinch blow,” “without hurting you, of course,” he added. The vegetable vender and the young man, squaring off in the center of the restaurant, led with his left and then fell ino a clinch with the provincial, hooking a short right into Dumoulin’s ribs. At the conclusion of the demon- stration the two younz men left the restaurant, bu not hurriedly.
