— ee ae Leonard’s First Battle Here ~ Since Winning Lightweight Title, at the Harlem S. C. To- Night. Pree Pubiletng Oo, errr a York seston Wert ENNY LEONARD; lightweight champion, meets Johnny Nel- son of Philadelphia to-night at the Harlem 8. €. The bout is inter- esting principally as Leonard's first New York appearance since wifming the title from Freddy Welsh, Billy Gibvon says that Benny will be a “regular champion,” like Lavigne, Erne, Gans and the rest of the old- timers, who didn't become sprinters When they had gained the crown. It ‘Will be interesting to see if Leonard will make good. He won five fights straight with knockouts before he took Welsh into camp. Since that he has had only one bout—in Phila- deiphia—tighting six rounds without making any great sttort to continue nockout record, but also without descending to the ods that destroyed Welsh's popularity, Nelson is a fairly good lightweight. He has fought Charlie White and several others of equal class, includ ing Willie Jackson, the latest phenom. N even more interesting bout— 4s a boxing contest—will be| put on Friday evening when | Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson | fight again. In their one former! meeting Jackson startled the sport-| ing world by handing Dundee his| first and (to date) only knockout. | He flattened the jumping “Scotch. | Wop” for the full count, and with/| seconds to spare after the “ten” at| that.
