HIGGINS Attorney-at-Law Corner Main and Shetucket Streets LEONARD WILL BE A POPULAR CHAMPION. Welsh Admitted a Great Boxer from One Point of View. Benny Leonard, the new lightweight champion, will be as popular a title- holder in his class as was Jack Mc- Auliffe. He is a_combination of all his immediate American predecessors. He has much of the science of Gans, the courage of Nelson and the dash of Wolgast. His popularity looms large at the start because of the unpopular- ity_of his predecessor, Freddie Welsh Usually when a champion pas(i# there is a lot of svmpathy for hidef Often it is of a more or less maudlin} character. But there seems to be lit- tie or no sympathy for the man that Leonard defeated. Welsh showed a lack of sportsmanship and a contempt | for his public while he held the title. While he has made the championship pay and can retire ‘“well fixed,” the finish of his pugilistic career must be embittered to a great extent by the knowledze that he was the most un- popular of all pugilistic champions. No man is so thoroughly commercial that he is without vanity, and Welsh, be- ing human, must have sufficient van- to feel the sting of his unpopular- In justice to Welsh-it must be ad- mitted that he was a great boxer from one point of view. Boxing, as we know it, is called the art of self defense. Wesh was perhaps as great a de- fensive boxer as the Queensberry ring has ever known. Until Leonard finally beat him down, Welsh could toy with any man in the ring within five ds of his weight. He lost de- after decision, but he could mnot be knocked out. He knew all of the rules and the theories of the no-de- cision game. Sometimes he came close to overstepping the rules, but he al- through a ten- six-round fight and retain He took no chances. He of self defense to the ways managed to get round or Tex who used to pas- time with the Browns, is walloping his way to fame with a .400 batting mark in the Southern league. GEORGE G.

Red Sox Win Cleveland Series. Boston, June 5.—Boston won the de- ciding game of the series today by driving Gould and Morton from the box in the second inning, when nine runs were scored. The final count was 11 to 4. Cleveland scored all its runs in the first inning on two singles, a double, a hit batsman and a sacrifice fly. Mays settled down after that and Cleveland was at a loss to score. In the second inning Boston made five hits before Gould was withdrawn. Two errors, 2 double and a single caused Morton to retire.

This Week Opening of Real Race of Season. The Eastern League opened the real race of the season this week and it promises to be a hot one all the way to the wire, in view of the manner in which the clubs have fought since the season opened a little over three weeks ago. ‘phese three weeks can hardly be cai‘ed more than weeks of preparation, for outside of the New Haven club, which secured an edge on the other seven teams because of its seasoned veteran outfit, the other clubs have been experimenting in or- der to secure men o strengthen the weak spots that developed immedi- ately after the op#ning bell was sounded. All of the clubs have de- veloped considerable strength since opening day and are showing that they are going to make it a real race all the way through the summer. KILBANE ANXIOUS TO MEET LEONARD Johnny's Manager Claims Kilbane Softened Up Welsh For Bennie to Finish Him. Johnny Kilbane's manager, Jimmy Dunn, has come forth with a type- written statement challengirig Benny Lecnard to a match. Jimmy is very nice to Leonard in a way and gives him much credit for his feat in over- coming Welsh: but reduces his prais- es a bit when he says that he believes that Kilbane softened Freddie up just enough for Bennie to_finish him. Jimmy further says that Welsh didn't look as good a boxer against Leonard as he did against Kilbane. Jimmy Dunn is entitled to his opin- ion; but it's the belief of the majority of those who 'saw both bouts _that Freddie Welsh was a better Welsh against the New York boy than he was against the featherweight cham- pion. Freddie was trained right down to his best form for the match last Monday night, and for the Kilbane contest was much heavier which fact denoted poorer condition. Welsh didn’t appear tired or exhausted af- ter the Kilbane bout. He did have a very sore arm and was not able to deal with Kilbane as he was with Leonard. It was a severe handicap to the then lightweight champion. Against Leonard he was in the very best of shape and complained of no ailments.

New London Outfielder Causing Much Trouble for Pitchers. Lindstrom, a new addition to the Worcester pitching staff this season, has so far not only been a winner for the Boosters in_ the box but is also stamping himself as a hitter, and tops the Eastern league list with an aver- age of .500. However, the real swat- smith of Dan O'Neil's circuit is Bob Gandy, the giant outfielder of the Planters, who is slugging the pill for 1393, and looms up as one of _the league’s most danger~us batsmen. Billy Tamm, Portiand's versatile athlete, is ahead of the New London slugger with an average of .444, but has not par- ticipated in the number of games that would give him the honors. The past week saw several players on the down grade in batting, among them being Doc Durgin and Walter Hammond of the Green Sox and Stimpson of New Haven. Durgin's average dwind'ed from the .400 division to .371, while Hammond took a big fall and af present Is just five points over the .300 mark. King Lear, Bridgeport's all around inflelder, who caused much trouble to the pitchers last week in his work with the stick, is at the sum- mit of the Park City crowd with an average of .375. New Haven’s best batsman is Shannon, who has an aver- age of better than .300. The Murlin outfielder took the honors last week from Earl Stimpson, who is now in the 200 division. Doc Durgin heads the Springfield club with an average of .371; Daley, Lawrence, with an aver- age of .367: Conway, Worcester, with an average of .336, while Brown is Portland’s leading slugger with an av- erage of .333. Bill Weidel of the Senators, with seven doubles, took the lead in that respect from Jud Daley. Roy Jenkins, also a member of Pieper’s machine, is on his_heels with six, and DeNeville of New London, Schrefber of Lawrence and Daley of Lynn have the same number. Fletcher Low’s name bristles on top in triples, the hard hitting third baseman having five, and also has one circuit clout to his credit, the leaders in that respect belng Schreiber and Flynn of Lawrence, both poling out three. Shannon of New Haven and Rico of Springfield are tled in the sacrifice column with five each, whilo Hammond with eight stolen bases has made the greatest number of larcenies. His closest rivals are Prieste of ‘Bridgeport and Sweatt of Portland, who have six apiece. Worcester is the leader in club bat- ting with an average of .274, Hartford coming in fifth with a mark of .258.
