By Vincent Treanor. A left band punch, known as a Balf hook in the parlance of the ring, faved Benny Leonard's lightweight @hampionship crown at Madison @quare Garden last night. It crashed against the chin of Rocky Kansas in the middJe of the eleventh round at & time when this swarthy miniature Jeffries was bent on sweeping tho white skinned champion off his feet} tm a headlong attack. Down went Kansas flat on his shoulder blades. A thunderous roar went up from the 34,000 crowded to every available tmch of the old building. The cham- pion had asserted himself unmistuka- ty but with a suddeness that made the blood tingle. At the very moment Leonard was backing away from his more powerful foe, apparently tired and discouraged. Kansas had won the second, fiftn end seventh rounds up to this stage ef the hard fought battle and had held the title holder even in the sixth, amd the preceding tenth. He was @morting with the scent of possible victory and the mental urge to whisk away the championship with its glory and fortunes in a grandstand, sensa- ional finish. Rocky's jaw and Leonard's left came together in collision well timed for Leonard's sake. The force of one helped the other. Patsy Haley, next te the timekeeper, was on his feet in an instant to record the seconds al- lotted the man on the floor. “One, two,’ a wave of his right arm accompanying each count, Haley fairly shouted for the benefit of Kan- was. At seven Rocky came to and nodded assurance that he wasn’t yet done for. He took the two more sec- ends coming to him and at nine was on his feet. It was a close call for him, Crowd Gets Its Thrill. The crowd had got the thrill for which many of them had come miles to feel and the Buffalo boy Squared off for what might be com- ing to him, encouraged by noisy cheers. Leonard tried everything he knew after that to send Rocky to temporary oblivion, but with his chunky arms wound high up around his head Kansas stood the assault. Even when Leonard shifted his punches to Rocky's stomach to draw down his guard the natural vitality and stamina of the little Italian held him together until the bell sent him gafely to his corner. No fight aince the Dempsey-Car- pentier affair at Boyle's thirty acres in Jersey City last July 4 has at- tracted so much attention, There really was more genuine interest in last night's battle. More than 14,000 People saw it, paying prices from §2 to $15 for seats, The Garden can't be rigged up to accommodate more and last night's turnout was surely Capacity. It is estimated the gate re- @eipts were more than $126,000. Every walk of life was represented at the ringside. Social lights, legal notables, Judges of all sizes and descriptions, from Magistrates to Supreme Court, @o-calied giants of industry, and \ “the man on the street.” ‘ Leonard Extended to Win. The fight itself was all that could have been wished for. It dispelled all doubt about Leonard being good and strong at the lightweight limit of 185 pounds. He fought with all his old time strength and skill, but there was hardly a moment when he wasn't extended to the limit. He had to call for all the power in his strong arms to put Kansas into a subjective“mood, at which he didn’t quite succeed until the eleventh round as described above. What's more, he had to use his brain if out- generalling the young hercules from Buffalo. At no time could he afford to take any chances, Kansas was dangerous at all stages of the battle, even when he appeared hurt. En- dowed with wonderful recuperative powers he came back even from what looked a certain knockout and finished the round growing stronger, was blood smeared as early as the fifth round, and his pride was injured perceptibly on more than ene occasion when Kansas landed telling punches, blows that drove him back on his heels and more than ence unbalanced him. Master work- man that he is, the champion, how- ever, always had something up bis | Pugilistic sleeves, Even Up to Knockdown. %& was & nip and tuck affair almost ‘wp to the eleventh round, when Leon- ard floored his man. Kansas, full of eonfidence. really carried the fight to fhe champion in the early rounds. Leonard tried to stab him off with innumerable lefts, straight and hooked, but Rocky never would stay with swinging drives that carried plenty of sting. The famous back- hand punch of which so much was expected wasn't uncorked by Kansas until midway in the battle. Once Rocky nailed Benny on the jaw with it. After that Leonard was lucky in getting his head out of its range. The battle all told was fought cleanly and with rare sportsmanship by both boys. Twice Kansas landed low left hooks, but they were unin- tentional, and ionard never com- plained. Kid McPartland refereed the fight perfectly. The writer's punch by punch description of the fight will be found elsewhere. Speculators Reap Harvest Even on Harry Stevens’ “Hot Dogs.” Bu Richard Freyer. The fans were lined outside the Garden as early as 9 A. M, and the early birds were lucky. Prospective customers who arrived with hopes of purchasing either a $2; $3 or $5 ducat after 2 in the afternoon were out of luck altogether, By that time the cops had their hands full controlling the mob. It was a regular first game of the World Series crowd. ‘The hot and un tamed converted canines of Harry Stevens found their way into the hands of speculators and they re- ceived a big play. It must have broke Harry's heart to see the woy the venders outside the Garden did their stuff. After 6 o'clock Dick Enright's pupils drew a dead line on, Madison Avenue and 26th and 27th Streets. If one didn't have the necessary ducat to show to the cops one was ex tremely unfortunate. A little before 7, however, the gang staged a ten minute sketch called “Mass Formation."' They broke thru the lines and the sketch played to a full house until the bluecoats got busy with black sticks and cleared the avenue. At 8.15, when the first preliminary started the Garden was about three- quarters filled. The tenants, thé boys who occupy the balconies, were 100 er cent. strong. The landlords, however, the $15 and $11 seat boys, were evidently biding their time, ‘The opening prelim. brought an an- nouncement from Joe. Humphreys, master of ceremonies: “It is re. quested that all stop smokin; Whereupon nearly everybody lit a butt. The first pair of glove maulers were announced as Lou Paluso, Sait Lake City, 124% pounds, and Johnny Williams, Harlem, 127% pound: Paluso looked like a boy who sneaked consent. He appeared altogether too young to be swinging a pair of gloves for money, or anything else. Before it slips our memory we wish to inform the public that John Mc- Avoy refereed the first bout. The judges were of the high class order, Patsy Haley and Tommy Shortell, ‘The crowd around the ringside is different from the Monday night wrestling crowd. Their clothes are neatly pressed, they are smoking in violation of the order, and they are all attention. There's sor.ething dif- ferent, however, but just what it is we don't know. Anybody who thought Kansas would tock Benny to sleep could get 10 to 1 for their money. This early in the evening. Also late.

Ho then dived in with an- other left lead, but Benny, waiting | for him, spun him around with an in- side right hook to the chin. Rocky still persisted with his left and stuck in a hard helf-arm uppercut at Benny's waistline. He repeated with the same punch tn the same place and then reached Benny, as the cham- pion was retreating, with a long left to the chin. Rocky, plainly the ag- gressor, swung a right hard on Leon. ard's ribs and persisted in attempts to chug Benny's body with his free anm in clinches, Benny looked Kan- Sus over very resepetfully as the latter went to his corner at the sound of the bell.

Kansas was beginning to smile when hit, which is a tip-off that Leonard's blows were telling on him, This was Leonard's round. ROUND NINE — Benny drove a right to the ribs and then put two lefts on Kansas's mouth. ‘Don’t let him lead,” came from Benny's cor- ner.
