The vei eme has the advantage : Until Board Lightweight Champion Starts War on Present Boxing Regime and Tells Reasons, By Vincent Treanor. OOKS as if the fight-going public of New York will have to worry along without a look at Benny Leonard until the State Athletic Board readjusts things to suit the classy lightweight champion. He says pre- ‘vailing conditions prevent his appear- ‘ance here in a titular bout. Benny ‘has decided, very late to be sure, that it would be the next thing to suicidal for him to get into a local ring these @ays of fifteen-round decision bouts and risk having his title decided away fm a secret blanket verdict of two and a referee. Rather than ibmit to such conditions, Leonard “Wil in the future box out’ of town, erably in “no-decision” localities. let this and other things be known in a statement made before his out with Sailor Friedman in Phila- @eiphia last Monday. Leonard isn't in the habit of mak ing statements. In this instance it would have been better for him had hhe left some of what he had in mind because ontetae of his tmmi Gite circle of friends he will be mii retood. Im the first place, a real champion wh as Leonard is should have no of the outcome of any battle in h he engagt He is rd perio ‘anybody in his class at the presen Tove ‘anyhow, His all-round clever- a|the line play of Mulligan, the Army Leonard Won’t Defend Title Changes Rules should be limited to a division of 50 | 4nd Pete Schultz 120 pins in the first half of a « IN FAVOR OF the Favorites in Ali the Big Been Beaten, Which Does Not The Navy is favorite to-morrow. Such odds chances that the Army will live up from previous games, and to regain for the big effort to-morrow. The exceptionally fine Notre Dame ma- dies will have had two weeks in their game with Penn State. inasmuch as it is considered the under doy, so to speak. Ita season has not been as successful as that of the Navy. This feeling as well as past performances will be cast aside with the blow of the whistle of the referee, Charlie Daly, the Army coach will have the services of his star performer French in good con- dition for the Navy game. And French is a man who Is likely to up- set many calculations. There are many judges who consider him one of the best backs the East has pro- duced: this year. Army coaches have been working overtime with Don Starck and White, the veteran ends, in order to get them in shape to cover the kicks, and also Barchet, the Navy star, who is also @ fine runner back of punts. The game to-morrow should be a battle from the threat formation be- tween French of the Army and Barchet of the Navy. The Army forwards should be out- classed by the heavy and more ox- though Wiedon would replace Boll: at left tackle, and Cruise take Ham- fiton’s place in the backfield starting ‘against the Army. It will be interesting to compare tackle and King the Navy star tackle, who are two of the best playing the game to-day. And then one must not forget to keep an eye on Carney, the Navy left guard, against Garhisch, the old Washington afd Jefferson player. Bob Folwell's backfield, composed of Conroy, Koekler, Cruise and Barchet, will meet their match in Johnson, Smyth, Wood and French. ‘The latter 1s an especially dangerous man. Bear in mind that football games are not won and lost by the sentiment prevailing before the games, but on the playing field. And with’ the ele- ment of success In the forward pass- ing game, the Army's chances seem to be practically as good as those of the Ni per cent. of $75,000, while the pro- moters reap the other $75.000. Leon- ard figures, and very properly, that his unusual ability to draw big money shouldn't go to fatten the bank ac- count of any promoter, in this par- ticular case Tex Rickard. This rule, as Leonard interprets it, amoun' rol ta! for he deems his services worth. is no other co! State or anywh would attempt to limit the earning sapacity, of say Caruso, or any other public entertainer of extraordinary ability. Why, therefore, should the Athletic Board attempt to regulate the value of his unapproachable tal- ents, Leonard asks, when the public is willing to pay foe them, There is some merit in Leonard’ kick, While at first consideration it makes him appear more like a finan- cler than a fighter, it must be re- membered that in these days profes- stonal boxing has become a business to the boxer and a sport to the pub- lic, and must be operated on a busi- n Some old timers will ‘There at mmonses of the pas fighters of to-day ither did the Tim ‘K Smiling Mickey Weshes and 3} lernans get out of baseball what the Yankees gladly pay Babe Ruth. Times have changed. L Leonard, accordingly, can't be blamed for reaching out for all he can| get. As he says, if he had all the money people think he has, he'd throw his boxing gloves up on the old closet shelf and retire, but he isn't so well off that he can afford to quit now It has been rumored around that Leonard has lost a lot of money “in and punching abilit ould as- ‘Bure him the decision ny of the £8 mn of contenders, unless y feels that he is slipping.

New Olympic Association to Be Formed at N. Y. A. C. To-Night Every Amateur Sport to Be -Represented at this Im- portant Meeting. By Robert Boyd. NE of tho most important moves in the history of American amateur athletics will be at- tempted this evening when represen- tatives of every amateur sport will assemble at thesNew York Athletic Club for the purpose’ of adopting a constitution for a new Olympic Asso- ciation of the United States. } The drafting of this new constitu- tion has been contemplated by the National A. A. U. officials ever since the return of the Olympic team that competed at Antwerp, Belgium, last year. There were many serious mistakes made by the last commission that handled the arrangements of this country competing in the interna- tional athletic classig, mistakes that cannot be directly attributed to the competent A. A. U. officials consider- ing the financial conditions under which they attempted to send the team. In fact, it is rather a miracle that the United States was so weil represented and enabled to uphold her athletic supremacy against the world, considering the circumstances.

According to the many A. A. U. officials who have the interest of amateur sport at heart, the new pro- posed plan to have each of the sports represented will prevent further trouble at the Olympic Games-of the future. The recent proposal of Secretary of War John W. Weeks that all exis- tent amateur sports organizations be joined in one association, national in scope, will likewise come up for seri- ous discussion, The Secretary of War and Secretary of the Navy in letters to Gustavus Kirby have both called attention to the A. A. U. officials throughout the country that the time is now ripe for an organization to ‘standarize amateur athletids as well as to promote physical development among the youth of America. This would mean, as defined by the new army and navy proposal, that all track and field athletics, golf, tennis, hockey, rowing, etc, that has been capably managed in the past by ex- perts who understand each of the re- spective sports, would cease to exist and a new organization would control them all. Many of the A. A. U. cfficials see in the new army and navy suggestion “an idealist’s dream” rather than a practical move to upiltt amateur sport in this country. tbyssko Ready to Defend Title Awainst All Com: Stanislaus Zbyszko will defend his title against all worthy opponents et Madison Square Garden this winter i¢ Promoter Rickard wants to sign up ““e champion for an unlimited numbe _,./ v tis matches. title holder, through + Jack Herman, said yesterday that he intends to retire in a year, and is willing to give all comers a chance + to win ahe championship, and will start hie campaign immediately after his go with Ed Lewis at the Garden Monday night.
