As Benny is very busy at Camp Upton Just now he will have to leave New York on Thursday morning by the Empire State Express, arriving at Buffalo about 6 in the afternoon, fight his four rounds at 9 o'clock sharp and leave for New York on the 10.01 train immediately after tho bout, which will bring him back to Upton Friday morning. These are rush days for Benny Leonard, Jim Coffey will take on Battling Levinsky in the wind-up. Jim has Deen training hard at Grupp's gym- nasium. Jim wanted to go to Buffalo for a week's training, but BI won discouraged it, Jim, “and I'll have a lot of good Irish friends there“anxious to see me,’ “Then let then: see you in the fight, Jim,” counseled Gibson, with a canny thought of the gate receipts.

The Blue Devils of France, now visiting Buffalo, are intensely ‘Inter- ested in boxing. They have acveptod an invitation to attend the Army thietic Fund show, and a section as been reserved for them. Thev are anxious to compare the Amer- jean champions with their hero, Car- pentier. Besides Leonard and Hartley and Coffey and Levinsky, there will be another star bout between Jack Brit- ton and Harry Boyle. Britton was anxious to go on with Leonard, al- though he says Benny is the greatest fighter he ever put a glove on with, und able to give any welterweight 3 hard go.

At the Red den Johnny Dundee and Eddie Wal- lace, Levinsky and Coffey, Britton and Lewis and several others fought as if there was a $10,000 purse de- nding on the result, The boxers ave picked up a lot of the United Btates Army spirit, and those army boys surely do wallop with a free good will whenever they meet In a ring.

Benjamin Wood of the Golf Come mittee of the Knollwood Club states with considerable pride that his lub raised $12,574 for the second Red Cross War Fund during the week of the drive. Mr, Wood believes this sum probably exceeded any contriba- tion from a golf club anywhere in the U. B.A. rt Nearly $4,000 of the Knollwood Club's conjribution was realized from the Stock Exchange golf tournament. About $8,000 was subscribed by 100 members of the club, The first metropolitan appearance of Charles Evans fr. for this season is likely to be made on June 16, when he and Jerome D. Travers meet M. J. Barnes and Waiter Hazen for the bene- fit of the Red Cross over the Siwanoy Country Club inks. This will bring two of the best amateurs of the country against two of the leading professionals, and the match is certain to attract « record gallery In the party will be three one-time national open champions, Barnes being the only one of the quartet who has not yet succeeded in winning that honor, although he is probably the most ¢on- sistent brilliant golfer in all America at the present time. Evans is the present holder of both the national open and amateur tith Barnes holds the. Western, open amd Hagen is the North and South open champion.
