The choicest boxing morsel in the country outside of a possible Dempsey-Carpentier match, is the Lew Tendler-Benny Leonard scrap for the world’s light- weight crown.

This week's matches in the Elks’ tourney resulted in Power, Piper, Horner and Schofietd moving into the semi-finals. Gene Hatton, play- ing the best golf of his young life, was put out of the running by the fast-going Mike Power, who had just ousted Bon Stein in the previous round. Mike started off with » threehole handicap and held it all the way, the match ending at the 16th. As the result of his great golf, Power is a hot favorite to win the tournament. Gene's medal seore, when the match ended, was 65, with two holes left to play, #0 it can be readily seen that this “10” man was shooting right down the middie, but Mike with his “16” tag was also there with the goods. Piper, who defeated Richards, will meet Power in the upper half of the draw, and Schofield and Horner will tangle in the lower half. Sasa oes Vaden was Schofield’s victim last week. Horner beat each with 56 are giving the leaders a close run, but they will require quite a spurt to catch up as the tourney finishes tonight.
