Tho litleholdcr received a cure that al most robbed him of his crown, when ho met Charlie White at Benton Har bor. Mich, July 5th. and now de dares he "ill nover again climb through the hempen strands to do battle unless he has worked faithfully at tho training stunt for at least two weeks. Benny worked only four days to get In shape for Charlie White, and In the fifth round White planted his famous left hook on Leonard s Jaw and tho champ went through tho ropes And Leonard is not the only one who is cured. His manager, Billy Glb son is cured too, and he makes the statement that Leonard will look to his condition in the future or seek another pilot. A strong statement, and one that might be taken to In dlcatc the former presence of quite H a bit f anxiety in tho Leonard camp. BROTHER Bins BROTH1 R. Leonard's brother Charley was re sponsible for Benny getting down to business for four days to ni in shape for White. Charley went to visit White flvo days before the big match. and without revealing his identity hoi saw White put away three sparring Partners with the left hook that made him famous as a rmgster. Charley was really worried. He knew his brother had been taking things easy, and ho also knew that Benny regarded White as something I soft and easv . Whan he returned to: his brothers camp ho confided to, Gibson that White was In the very1 pint: of condition and w is working his left hook even faster and more ac curatcly than ever before. To allay' the fears of the brother. Gibson son;: Benny into training Stunts In earnest,, and Benny did ail ho could and ac compllshed as much as he could, but the champion's escape was narrow at1 the best After the bout I eonard and Gibson j held a star chamber session In which the training thing w is discussed at length. The chump r t -J h- wa careless and Gibson admitted he was fooled, and then both of them agree i to a "Never Again ' plank that means Benny will shape when he on- tare the defend his Silks: again. I c;uKl have been dis- Into the ring, but White would not! claim a foul. I WHAT THEY SAY JAC K ll MPS Since his return to :nc east Jack Dempsey Is full of new lilt Hlld ... U talk.

In nearly every league which has reported, at tendance figures Indicate the great est lncreaso In popularity in Ims. IiiII the game has ever had. President Thomas J. Hlckey s statement that there is a general in rease In attend ance In all cities in his circuit, is pointed to as Indicative of conditions generally The ten-year period from 1903 to 1913, however, was a notable one for the national pastime It was In 19f. that the big advance was first no ticed Charles W Murphy purchas d the Chicago Cubs for $106,000 and llv Investment returned him $119,uoo that season. This was the beginning of big prices in baseball. When 1903 opened It is Indeed doubtful If any franchise In either of the majors would havi commanded morr lb ,:i sjoiumn NEW Mn l si ED. Soon after 1903 there was a gen eral movement among big league niacantfs to Improve their ball yards. Sceral clubs constructed steel and concrete grandstands. while others purchased n-w property entirely. Shlbe park in Philadelphia was ono of those to figure on the reconstruc tion plan of that period. Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, nlso erected a new home for his Pirates In 190'J there was scarcely a club in elth r of tho major leagues whose capitaliza tion exceeded $100,000 and this re sulted In the general " belief that bs ball was not u money-making propo sition It has been shown by later vents that the low capitalisation meant nothing because ihe in.igi -. In nearly every case. were putting their profits Into property or players. Twenty years has made a great change in baseball as n business, as shown by the records. The New York Giants, for Instance, changed hands about 20 years ago for a paltry $1'00, ooo, while the list transfer of iha? club from the Brush estate involved a cool $1,300,000.

Cravath s brt year was In 1915 when ho really batted the Phils J-ito a pennant, aided, of course, by Alex ander's great pitching. He knocked out 2- homers.
