When Benny Leonard retired in 1925 to take his place beside Jack McAuliffe and three other undefeat- ed lightweight Kings, he opened the gates for fighters like Jimmy Good- rich, Rocky Kansas and thc present champion, The lightweight division datcs far back into pugilistic history because it is onc of the three natural classes into which human bodies fall—light, middle and heavy. Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, once was lightweight champion. Upon the definite retirement of Chambers, the original Dempsey claimed the title Chicago; Law- s|and held it for a year before being graduated to the middleweight divi sion. The lightweight division has numbered among its lcaders such shining lights as Jack McAuliffe, George Lavigne, Frank Erne, Joc Gans, Battling Nelson and Ad Wol- st.

Louisville has been filling up all week and each day brings its addi. tional thousands. Up to 100,000 persons or more will be jammed around the Downs to view Satur- day's spectacle, A field of probably 20 will go to the post, it appeared today, with the cast predominating numerically. But |the west will have the favorite in Reigh Count, the splendid colt own- ed by Mrs. John D. Hertz of Chi- cago. DPost time odds on Reigh Count may be § to 5. Reigh Count may be coupled with lis stable mate, Anita Peabody, last vear's juvenile champion, and _pos- | sibly with Otto Lehmann's Reigh Olga, which would tend to reduce the odds further. Although Anita | Peabody is being pointed for the Kentucky Caks, the filly's great con- dition may induce Mrs. Hertz to strengthen the stable’'s hand by put- ting her in the derby. ¥dward B. McLean's Toro, after his spanking race behind Victorian is second choice John Schorr, his trainer, is confident he will run a worthy race, and after rain began falling today, Schorr was jubilant. He | thinks Toro will be returned the | winner in a soft track. Admiral Cary T. Grayson's Strol- ling Player still has a following, and his stable is far from despondent. The imported colt presumably will be coiipled again with the Audley | "arm’s Bobashela, which also is on | the ground.

As the flect Anita was not |expected to make the race, the Count appeared to have it all his way today- Of course, other good thorough- |breds ave still in the race.

DORVAL WINS BOUT Emporia, Pa., Boxer Defcats Otto Von TPorat Eading Knockout String. May 16 (®—Napolcon Jack Dorval of Emporia, Pa de- feated Otto Von Porat, the Nor- wegian heavyweight, in a 10-round bout here last night. The defeat cnded Von Porat's string of con- secutive knockout victories at four. Dorval, taking a leat from the seventh round of the Tunncy-Demp- sey fight here last Scptember, rode around the ring, backward much of the time, hotly pursued by Von Porat. From time to time, how- ever, the Emporian stopped, rested against the ropes and went to work with both hands on the Von Porat anatomy. The Dorval victory uas by a nar- row margin and was won with one eye, the left being scaled in the second round when Von Porat was at his most damaging gait.

Kensington was scheduled o play home on both Saturday and meeting the Torrington team in the Saturday game and the Falcons Sunday. The revision in the schedule sends Kensington to Meri- den Saturday and brings Manches. ter to this city against the Falcons, On Sunday, the Falcons and Ken. sington will again clash in Ken. sington on the Percival avenue grounds. Both teams mect in this city last Sunday and the game re- sulted in a victory for the Kena sington crew hy a 10 to 9 score, Bristol goes to Manchester on Sune day and Meriden goes to Torring= ton. Saturday aftcrnoon, the Falcons {will meet the Silk Town club which with Kensington shares first place in the league. The Ialcons are due to break into the winning column |and will probably have the oppor= | tunity of batting against an old-time battery ace of their team in Russ ¥ er of Hartford, Fisher is the mainstay of the Manchester aggre- gation and has been very successe ful so far in turning back all ep- position. The game Sunday should prove to be one of the best of the sca- son’s attractions for Kensington. The rivalry between the Paper Goods Town team and the Faicons has doubled and trebled since last Sunday’'s game and the l‘alcons will be out to win if possible. A defeat of Manchester Saturday and a win over Kensington on Sunday will give the team plenty of chances of going into first place in the league. The managers of teams in the Connecticut State league will meet tomorrow night at 7 o'clock in the Meriden Y. M. C. A. to approve the revised schedule of games. The hedule has been arranged so that the league season will end on Labor September It is expected that there will be no opposition to the changes as proposed.

Kansas City, Kansas, May 16 (®) Jack Johnson's sccond bout in his announced comcback campaign has forced him from the ring tempor- arily with an fnjured hand and left bim charged with another decisive defeat. The former heavyweight cham- pion. who claimed to be as fit at 52 as he was when he started fighting about 30 ycars ago, found the going 00 hard in his ten round match with big Bill Hartwell, Kansas City, Co., negro here last night. After six rounds, in which Hartwell land- ed a punishing left. seemingly at will, the veteran negro announced he could not return to the center of the ring hecause of a broken hand.
