A few months 1 Welsh outhoxed Leon- | ard by @ slight margin in ten rounds. ‘That was an off night for Benny. He doesn’t have many of them. HE DOESN'T NEED LEAD WITH HIS “BUNCH OF FIVE: Shamus O'Brien was a rough and rugeed lightweight, strongly touted as “another Nelson.” Benny flattened Shamus so violentlygthat the manager of Shamus sent out a loud and vo- ciferous claim that Benny had @ piece of lead pipe in his glove--or some thing like that, Needless to the only thing Benny had in his glove wa: his good right hand. He seldom puts on even @ soft bandage, His four) knuckles are well developed and good enough for his purpose, Benny made himself famous last) ‘week when he knocked out the great Ritchie Mitchell in the seventh round } of @ ten-round bout at Milwaukee. Mitahell is a very clever boxer, with a sharpshooter’s lef, hand. It was o that he'd beat Leonard with that left. The West was so sure of i, that Mitchell u favorite in the betting. To the ui amazement of the Western critics Benny stepped right into Mitchell in the first round and “out-lefted him.” It was not until two or three! rounds had been fought that the amazed spectators could begin to realize that they were seeing a New York boy outboxing and outfighting the pride of the prairies. I#onard pressed Mitchell harder as the fight went along. There was an agreement that the two fighters would jeave the decision to a committee of three) newspaper sporting writers at th ringside, accept this as the official vo ‘and let the American cham-| plonehip, which both claiined, go with the decision, Yenny intended to have no mistake about that decision, In the @eventh he put Mitchell down— hard, And then It was all over but the telephoning to mother. Mitchell rose, and Benny, with cool delibers tion that didn't in the least detrac from his speed, forced the fighting for a few whirling, duzzling seconds and threw over the knockéut punch, in RES ws COLUMN bit New York Americans Don’t Fear Browns or Indians, but They Expect Stiff Opposi- tion From White Sox and Tigers.
