By Robert Edgren. ENNY LEONARD, world’s lightweight champion, is cleaning up a bankroll a hound dog couldn't jump over with a springboard and a running start. About every other week Benny hikes to Philadelphia, That's the town where any one who pays more than 7 cents for a cigar ts rated either a reckless spendihrift or a lunatic. In Philadelphia any pro- moter who charges half a dollar to see eighteen six round bouts in a single evening, all guaranteed knock- outs, is and always has been de- nounced as a hide-bound profiteer. . Yet a couple of times a month Benny Leonard visits Benny Franklin's village and steps six rounds or lesy with some near-contender and brings bout $14,000 back to the Bronx, Soft? Yea Bo! And now they want to pay Benny $20,000 to go out to Denver and step twenty rounds#OR LESS*with ol Charlie White, Said White. will. be * remembered by old timers as the gentleman who had several times Benny's Chance to take the lightweight title away from Freddy Welsh, when Freddy Was already slipping down the toboggan with yelps of distress, and who @ouldn'’t do it.
