Gaginaw Kid was a wonderful boxer and fighter, I saw him often. He was an angel child in appearance, with his smooth, smiling, oval face and his pink #kin and light hatr, But he had a wide-shouldered, leanly muscular build, and hé could fight at a fierce pace. He fought Joe Walvott and won by “staying” the fifteen rounds. However, he did outfight Waldott and made him practically quit near the end. Walcott was # lightweight in that Might. Lavigne won by outlasting an awful beating. He was gamer than Walcott. That was all. Benny Leonard never fought a ne- until a few weeks ago. Then he his manager, Billy Gibson, that he didn’t think, as champion, he had ‘a right to ignore a challenger of any race or color, and that he'd fight Leo Johnson, In New Orleans, where Johnson had done some great fight- ing, the people thought Leo would surely knock Leonard out. But Leo @idn't even hit Leonard. Benny swarmed all over him from the first second after the bell, beat him around the ring and ked him out in 1 minute and 69 Beconds, To show this was no fluke Benny immediately took on @ match with Dorsey, another very iiful Black lightweight, and knocked im out nearly as quickly. Leonard's exhibition that night was one of the most remarkable I ever aaw. The clever negro was bewildered by Benny's speed and quickly forced to leave an opening, belted him in the body, and that was the beginning of the end. BENNY ‘STARTS’ THEM TOWARD KNOCKOUT WITH ONE PUNCH. Leonard did the same thing again) with Vio Moran. He avoided Moran's) lightning-fast punches, and knocked him dizzy with hard left hooks, landed before he could recover his balance. He whipped a hoop into Moran's body | in the mixing, taking away enough of | his speed to make him an easy mark| for the knockout Erne was very clever, very very game.

Dear Dick—If you complain that the censors open all your letters, why don’t you tell your friends to write on postal cards? No censor can open a postal card. Since you last inhaled an earful from us, we have Pullmaned three times between Chicago and New York. We are al! Pullmaned up. Although you didn’t say so in your letter, we guess that you must be !n Europe by now all right, for as soon as we Jimmied open the envelope of your last letter the robust smell of garlic filled the works. No censor can eliminate the odor of garlic from the tournament. Garlic is an international langua althougt you did not state your present location, it was very easy to read between the smells, Everybody is glad that you gyped the submarines and landed ly in Europe. like esceping # toothache and safely getting mumps. Your method of letting me know that you were by the garlic code was very yood and you might stick to it. If you rub a piece of CHEESE on your next letter we will know that you have seen the Kaiser. An odor of camphor will wise up that you have moth on him. Speaking of moths, the Giants were badly moth on in their first two contests in Chicago. The Chisox slipped ‘em the razz, but since then the Giants have won two games and the seri tied up like a broken thumb, E ARE now loitering in Chicvgo, living In the Blackstene Hotel. Some slumming. Yea bo. They even have shower baths in the elevators, One of the proletariatt invited me to tour in his Rolls- Royce, but we refused to travel steerage like that, The Giants and White Sox go through all the motions again chis afternoon at Comiskey’s baseball stualo, Then we escape bark to New York for another tussel on the Polo Grounds, From the actions of both teams, we would say that they are homers, They look itke heroes on the home terrace, rut like something the cat dragged in when they are on a foreign lawn. You know what a homer ta, [t's a bird who bats a mil ton on ‘he home grounds but can't bat t size of his collar on allen territory, And we know absogoshdarniutely well that there Isn't a homer among the l.ys who are your shootma'es over on the wrong side of the Atlantic, Lemme buzz you, Dic! this Chicago town ts some burg, This man's town is some hamlet, And this Lake Michigan is some leak, Kasily.

It started to tour to and fro, but mostly fro. After to-Ing and fro-ing for about a decade, we asked cental for our chauffeur and discovered him partly in the cab and partly in the nearest buffet. When that guy started to operate that cab he pulled more levers and strings than a Connecticut man trying to land his cousin a Job n a Governmental berth. That taxicab wiggled like a Russian danoor, but nothing started except the horn and the taximeter, If that cab had travelled half as far as the meter, the gears would have been clogged with rabbits and kangaroos tn about three seconds, But this was one of those local cabs with an express meter. It started on combustion and stopped on suspicion. We couldn't sleep for the thundering of the snails and turtles galloping by. Each time we tmplored the taxi captain to page some speed he would massage the Klazon anc wave his trick ears to ins:nuate that sthe terrific velocity of the breeze was bending ‘em back. Finaily, ‘after cleven exempt Chicago ct*izens had flatfooted by us, walking ‘a the same direction that we were supposed to be going, wo entreated the chauffeur to inject @ little espionage under the hood.
