New York, May 38.—Benny Leonard won the world's lightweight champion- ship by knocking out Freddie Welsh in the ninth round of a ten round match here tonight. Welsh's downfall came at the end of a series of rushes by Leonard that drove him from corner to corner. The champion had taken a severe beating during the early rounds and the pun- fshment had begun to tell when the gong for the ninth round sounded. Leonard, fresh as the moment he had entered the ring, jumped from his corner and met the champion as he was leaving his corner with a shower of lefts and rights to the face and head. Weish Was Helpless. Welsh, vainly trying to ward off the | blows ,worked his way into Leonards's | corner” where Leonard ~succeeded in reaching him with a smashing right on the jaw. Welsh fell on one knee and bugged the ropes. His strength gone, Welsh strove weakly to strike a fight- ing pose. As he left the ropes Leon- ard landed and Welsh hit the floor. He struggled to his feet twice more but each time he was met by Leonard’s rights to the face and head and again he fell to the floor: The champion took the count of nine before he arose from the last knockdown. He tried to stand but fell across the ropes. It was only a question of moments when he would have fallen and been counted out. At this point Referee McPartiand leaped between the two men and, pushing Leonard away, car- ried the defeated champion to his corner. New Champion Heralded A score of men occupying ringside seats jumped into the ring and lifting the new champion to their shoulders. carried him in triumphal procession around the hall While the crowd was cheering itself hoarse, Welsh sat in a daze in his corner. When he had recovered some- what and was told by his handlers of his defeat he refused to believe them and fought fiercely to return to the centr of the ring. Leonard’s Fight at All Times. It was Leonard's fight throughout and held it until the end. There never was a_moment that he was in danger and although the champion fought valiantly and succeded in landing many blows, they appeared to have little effect. Welsh seemed to have {lost his judgment of dlstance, for he | missed repeatedly. | Benny Fought Savagely. i From the first gong Leonard tore in- to the champlon with ruthless persis. tency. He rained lefts and rights .to the face and head at will. Welsh, at Orst discovered by his opponent's ltactics ,seemed worried _when the round ended. In al Iof the succeed- ing rounds Leonard concentrated his efforts on Welsh's body and succeed- ed in whipping his right repeatedly to the champlon’s stomach. It was this blow, persistently used, that wore the champion down. Leonard weighed in at 133 pounds; Welsh at 136 3-4. Freddy Welsh won the world's light- weight championship by receiving the referee’s decision after outboxing Willie Ritchie, the American _title holder, in a twenty round bout in London, July 7, 1914. Previous to tr night's contest, Leonard and We' met twice in no-decision ten round bouts. Leonard was born in New York city in 18%6. His recent knockout of Ritchie Mitchell of Milwaukee caused him to be regarded as a contender for the world's title. the new world's champion will not “wait for con- scription” 'but will _enlist in the United States army after a six round bout in Philadelphia next Monday night, has manager, Billy Gibson an- nounced after the fight. ENTRIES FOR Y. M. C. A. MARATHON RACE Several Will Compete on Annual M. morial Day Event for Bulletin Cup. ical Director Crosby of the Y. M. A. reports that he has several entries for thfe five mile Marathon race that will be held on Memorial |day morning. Among the entries so far, probably the most prominent contender for The Bulletin cup is Alex Charnetski who has run for the past two vears. It is understood that there are several out of town athletes who are going to enter before Tuesday night, the last chance for any one to enter. The course this year will be the same as in previous vears. The MARKET WAS ACTIVE. Higher Quotations at the Outset Were Lest Later in the Day. New York, May 23.—Higher quota- tions at the outset of today's active ang diversified dealings met with ex- tensive realizing for profits and re- newed opposition by the shorts. In consequence, few, if any of the more important gains In_ industrials _and specialties were retained, some of those issues finishing at moderate net losses. The verv larze turnover of the fore- noon again derived much of its power and influence from out of town cen- ters, although the west seemed dis- posed to proceed with' caution, pending an adjustment of federal r - ta measures. The approaching holiday also induceq closing out of long lines by traders 5 1. S. Steel once more set the pace, both on the rise and decline, advanc- ing to the new record of 135, from which it reacted to 132 1-2 and closed at 132 3-4, a net loss of 1 3-3 points. Equal reversals were registered by munitions and Much of the underlying® strength was furnished by rails. Important is- sues of that description, especially Pa- cifics, St. Paul, coalers and many of the low-grade western and southwest- ern shares were in demand at extreme advances of 1 to 3 1-2 points. Im- provement In rafls coincided with the publication of a number of April re- turns, these being mostly of a grati- fving character, Southern Femific made an especially good showing, gaining almost $1,500,000 in net. Shippings aleo helped to sustain the list in the final hour. when the average level was lowest of the session. Ma- rines rose brisklv with Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies and Pacific Mail and Thnited Fruit also held strong. Metals were under pressure most of the time, Utah making a nabrupt de- cline of three points. Americar. Woolen, motors and oils ranked among the backward features, with People's Gas e new low of 70 3-4 and Ohio Gas also forfeited much of its 5 2-4 point zain. T ruled’ at the close.

The 1917 schedule is not particularly at- tractive. The feeling is that it is far better to wait until 1918 when at least four conference colleges will be met. The reentry of Michigan in the conference doesn’t necessarily mean that all relations with Pennsylvania ence colleges in sport. Witness the INlinois-Colgate game last fall. And they need not meet all the other con- ference teams. Northwestern last fall and this could not schedule gameos with Minnesota, among others. Michigan. will likely stand fast to its Pennsylvania alliance in the fu- ture. Each of these large universi- ties has had much difficulty in the past with other larze universities in their respective territories over ath- letics. Both have been denied big games with nearby rivals though a at everywhere and the war will do much to remove past objections and even hatreds. College men and col- lege athletes are of much the same sort everywhere and the leveling In- fluence of this war will do much to replace prejudics with friendship. When will the limit be reached in athletic records? No man dare say. Some hold that Walter Travis, be- cause he began golf wd 'thirty-six years of age and then won three American and one British amateur championship, is without parallel_in the ancient and honorable game. But Col. Frank B. Trout, of Lancaster, Pa., took up the sport at the age of Afty- nine. Three years later he did a 77 over a course on which Travis once made a record of 66. In track athlet- ics Kaufman, Lockwood, Lippincott and IMeredith, of [Pennsylvania, all intercollegiate point winners and two of them, Lippincott and Meredith, world’s record holders, hold the mile relay record of 3.18, an average of 49 1-2 seconds for each quarter-mile run. A most magnificent performance when Wwe remember it was made the end of April, one month before these men were prime.
