Toledo, Ohlo, July 24—Three world’s harness records were broken on the Fort Miami track here this af- ternoon, the second day of the Grand Circuit ‘meeting. The first mark was made when Bertha McGuire in the Fort Miami Stake event for 2.08 trot- ters, trotted a mile in 2.04 1-4, mak- ing'a new world's record for four- year-old fillies. The former record of 204 3-4, made at Lexington, ~was beld jointly by Joan and Mary Put- nam. The ‘race went six heats before a Cecision was reached, Esperanza and Bianch Carter fighting it out after the rest of the horses had been sent to the barn. It was the fastest six-heat race on record and the fastest sixtn heat in the time o 2.06 3-4. Summar- jes: ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW Brown &Perkins, Attorneys-at-Law Over Uncas Nat.

Many fans question Benny's ability to make the championship poundage again, 133 pounds. Mayvbe he can't r | His manager insists that he can, so e | this score can only be decided when s Benny has to make that wexght for some one. Four months out of Ictlve ring work would change the physical make-up of any athlete. Benny hasn't been ly- ing idle, by any means. He has been teaching some thousands of young Americans to box at Camp Upton. The fans naturally would ‘say, “Well if he is doing work, why isn't he in fighting trim.” Benny’s work with the soldiers is teaching them how to box. He doesn't go in swapping punches with them. He is on the defensive all the time and doesn't have “ahy grinding road work or gymnasium drills, and quite naturally put on weight. His body appeared' much bigger. He didn’t taper in the waist as he used to do. His legs, especially the. thighs were huge, and he appeared to weigh a good bit past the 140;pound mark. Leonard’s last ring appearance be- fore this last exhibition was,in Phila- delphia last December. Benny that night was a picture of health and a perfect .athlete. When he went into the 'service of the United States as a boxing instructor, he gave up all thoughts of the ring game and settled down to work with his pupils. Benny drew Young Joe Borrell, of Philadelphia, as his opponent the other night, and a tougher lad doesn’t exist in the boxing game' than the sturdy Philadelphia Italian, who 'stood and took everything Benny dished out. As the fight progressed Leonard grew more desperate. He virtually slaught- ered Borrell, who with indomitable courage stood up under the terrific punishment dealt out by the .peer of the lightweights. At the close Benny was desperate for a knockout. He was really cruel in his attack. Fans have never seen him wade into a rival with arms fly- ing wildly, but he did this against Borrell. He lowered his head between his shoulders, ‘gritted his teeth, and waded into the Philadelphian, driving in terrible rights and lefts that rock- ed and staggered Joe; but never once did they drop him, excepting in the first round. Now Philadelphia’s fans are com- paring him with Lew Tendler.. They want to see the brilliant Philadelphian battle the lightweight champion and the bout may come to pass before the season over. Rumor has it that they will fight at one of the Philly ball parks during the summer: Basketball Popular With Soldier In round fizures, 118000 soldiers in the military training camps participat- ed in organized basketball alone last 8eason. according to compilations made from the reports of camp athletic di- rectors to Dr. Joseph E.

Dr. Raycroft has been struck b}' the widespread popularity of basket- ball in the camps. “The choice of edu- cative and competitive games for the soldiers in training,” he declared, “is based primarily on their relationship to military activities. This idea is paramount but it does not necessarily minimize the recreational qualities. “Basketball is such a ‘game. Al- though limited in team organization, this fact alone makes it exceptionally intensive. It is a game that requires a keen co-ordination of the physical and mental. Distance must be gaug- ed to a nicety and every effort must be carrectly timed. Such a training enables a soldier to retain and exer- cise his wits and inventive faculties under the most trying circumstances, and the consequent body punishment he receives creates in him a disre- gard for casual injuries. In short, it is a magnificent course in harden- ing” “Outside ‘of these advantages, the| simple equipment required for basket ball' makes it an ideal camp game” Dr. Raycroft asserts, “as it may be played in the open as well as under cover. In certain camps.” he says “the courts have been strung with arc lights and matches played out- doors ‘at night.” BASEBALL. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. National Le New Yotk 2, St Louis 10.

This large tract was formerly owned by Leonard Pendleton, an intimate associate of Mr. Canfield, and whether it was acquired by Mr. Canfield through direct, purchase or otherwise is not kfown. Mr. Pendle- ton transferred ownership to Mr. Can- field and several years before his death Mr. Canfield transferred to his wife. Property owners in the vicinity have long. feared that the place would be purchased by real estate promoters and sold to people who might not erect houses to conform to those now inthat section, and that there would be depreciation of the vicinity as a select residential section.

Provost Marshal General Crowder was ready to lay his recommendations hefore the secretary after receiving a brief from the tional Baseball Commission, but the secretary was unable, because of the pressure of more important matters, to take up the matter, The war secretary said he would consider the brief and General Crow- der's recommendations tonight and ex- pected to announce his decision in the morning. National and American League offi- cials and club owners who were here today to complete and present to Gen- eral Crowder the brief in the case were hopeful that Mr. Baker would extend the time of putting the order irto eqect until the en dof the scason. They based this hope upon the sec- retary’s previous statement that it was not certain that the basevali in- dustry would be disrupted by opera- tion of the order and their belief that they had presented facts that would convince him that professional leagues would have to suspend unless the order is modified.
