By Ed Van Every. “To ain't no Santa Claus,” according to Benny Leonard and his manager, Billy Gibson, at least not after what happened yesterday. Benny and Billy took the former's teeth to the dentist yesterday, where the lightweight champion expected to be told that it would be perfectly all right to go ahead with a little early fistic Christ- mas shopping on Dec. 22, Benny had a little present all figured out for Charley White at Madison Square Garden on that date. Now Left Hook Charles will have to wait and Matchmaker Flournoy will have to fix up a new card. As a result of the dentist's examination yesterday afternoon Leonard learned that the infection of his gums instead of being practically cured as had been hoped still calls for a deal of careful attention. It 1s feared another operation will be necessary and that it will take at least a month before the gums are properly healed and the dental work can be satis- factorily completed. —eeG~.
