I 'm I? & 1 ^C5 ps&^y$^Wi PK&E SEP VH v'f Freddie Realized He Had aJBad Rec ord to Atone for and Made ,_ Some Atonement Against v Youngster. IN NO TANGO STEPPING •RT. Welsh Acted Like Real Fighter Leonard's Hard Blowa to Kid \bL* a *"V neys Hard on Champ In \fc Early Rounds. NEW YORK, July 29.—Freddie Welsh showed several thumping good reasons why he is chacipion light weight of the world when he licked Benny Leonard at Washington Park, .Brooklyn, last night. There wasn't a sign of a tango step in any one of the ten rounds. It. was a stand up and drag out from the start. Excepting one round, the third, Welsh won all the way. But he showed a little of Abe Attell, Battling Nelson and Joe Cans com bined, to turn the trick. Benny was no slouch. It was the old story of science, punch, condition and experience against science, punch, condition and a younger vigor. There is not a man or" woman of the thousands who saw the battle who doesn't believe Benny Leonard will wear the lightweight crown some time in the future, if he doesn't spoil it all by thinking he's good enough now to quit learning. For the first time in a decade of moons, New York's fight experts agreed on the result, the quality of fight put up by both men, the title holder's championship ability and the challenger's champipnship possibili ties. Both men were primed. Their con dition at the end showed that. Welsh throughout showed every evidence of his realization that he had a lot to lire down. Leonard, in erery piston like swat and crafty step, showed he wholly realized his opportunity and remembered he was fighting a cham pion whom he had beaten on points in a formjer ten round fracas. Both tried to snatch and hold the offensive throughout the fight. Referee Billy Roche was a lot more skittish and worried and did more tangoing and backing off than either of the fighters. He had .to, to keep away from the showering fists. In the fourth both slowed down, but apparently not because they were tired. Neither was puffing and each was inevitiblv smiling, especially when the othw landed Leonard had been using a whale of a slam to Welsh's left kidney. He placed it beautifully six or eight times in the first three rounds. Every time it brought the champion up with a jolt. Then Welsh used several of his ubiquitous arms and fists to cover his kidneys as well as hid face. He was foiling off blows Uke a fencer. But he showed at least a double track fighting brain by leaping out from behind his defending arms with suffi cient jabs and swings and upper cuts to give him a good edge at the finish. Welsh got $5,760 and Leonard $3, 693.75 for the show. The state got 51,070.40, which was 7% per cent of all the money taken in. 'YAKS Yesterday's hero: Casey Stengel. Casey went to bat as a pinch hitter in the eighth /inning of the' Robins Cardinals game and lammed out a triple with two on. He then scored on a long fly and Daubert came across on a pair of hits putting the game in the refrigerator. Eddie Rousch ran a mile and a yard to make a flying catch of Hans Lobert's long drive in the second inning. Hans just couldn't believe the fly caught and ran on around. Bob Shawkey pitched a no-hlt game for seven Innings, then let up a little, but came home with the bacon. Pitcher Dubuc of Detroit gets credit for three of the four Tiger wins over Washington. He pitched a shut-out yesterday, went into one game with' the score tied and into another with Jennings' men one run behind. Silk CXIjoughlln has won his battle with the bands.

It still cost* a lot of money to sup port college .-Moieties, notwithstand ing the demands of learned univer sity presidents for the exercise of rigid economy. Four big universities —Harvard, 'Yale, Princeton and Penn sylvania—spent approximately $450, 000 during their last fiscal year to put their athletic team* on field, river and floor. And this does not count what university authorities ex pended for their gymnastic work. It represents simply the cost of com petitive athletics. It is impossible to more than ap proximate the number of students on whom these great sums are expended. But at the four institutions men tioned above there are probably 1,000 students in each of the teams main tained by the various athletic asso ciations. This means that for every athlete a university turns cut the as sociation spends about $100 in the form of coaching, uniforms, training tables, railroad fare, etc. To the outsider this sounds like a pretty big sum, but it is nothing compared to what it costu to develop the few star athletes who represent their universities in championship contests. There is no way to deter mine this cost, but whei it is re membered that every athletic squad is reduced three-fourths before the season is half over it can be seen that $100 per man doesn't begin to represent what it costs to develop teams that win championships. The Importance of the cost of col lege athletics is surpassed only by the earning power of college sports. During uid year here considered Har vard. Yale, Princeton and Pennsyl vania received a total of $o04,464.81, nearly '11 of it in gate rer^Ipts. At the four institutions the ieceipts ex ceeded the expenditures by about $60,000, so that the percentage of profit was about 13 cents on the dol lar. Most business men would con sider this a pretty good investment. As a matter of fact, the percentage Harvard of' profit was greater than this, be cause the items of expenses in some cases represent permanent improve ments. :&i Football Pays the Bills. Naturally, football wa3 the great moneymaker. In fact, this ig the sport which has maintained all the minor sports, paid the deficits in track athletics and rowing, occasion ally in baseball, and helped to build magnificent stadiums. Harvard found football more profitable thau any of her rivals, although the sport cost the American League.

It has a tremendous advantage over New Haven. Princeton suffers most from location in a small town, but the games with Harvard and Yale filled the Tigers' treasury. The small size of Pennsylvania's receipts may be attributed to poor teams and the fact that neither Michigan nor Dart mouth draw as well as Harvard and the Indians, whose placey they have taken. A good team at Pennsylvania would ^probably add a third to the Quakers' gridiron receipts. For years baseball has been a pay ing sport at Harvard,. Yale and Princeton. Pennsylvania has always been on the ragged edge. Although for the fiscal year here considered the Quakers lost money, it is learned that heir next report will show a slight profit The national game has always been a money maker at Yale. In fact, in this sport, Yale leads Har vard. The Elis cleared $20,607.45 on baseball, while Harvard earned only $3,468.84. The Tigers did pretty well, making $8,696.44 in a year. An additional reason for the sue* cess of the Yale team financialy may be found in the fact that New Haven had no big league team, and about the nearest approach to this class of baseball was that played "by the Yale team. Both Harvard and Pennsyl vania are always obliged to compete locally against two big league teams, one or the other of which is usually a world championship contender. Penn Tracik. On account of the success of its great- relay carnival, Pennsylvania does far better than her rivals in track athletics. But even the Quak ers have never been able to make track sports earn a dividend. This sport brought in receipts amounting to $10,725.27, costing $16,488.37. Harvard is second to Pennsylvania, but the Crimson's receipts for the year were only $3,435.81. It is impossible, of course, for row ing to earn a profit or anything in the Bhape of gate receipts. Those Institutions which can show receipts owe them to subscriptions or pay ments from observation trains. Both and Yale find rowing tre mendously expensive. It cost the Crimson a total of $28,156,88 to sup port its crews, while Yale paid out $24,627.92. The expensiveness of the Harvard and Yale rowing systems is emphasised when comparison is made with the cost of this great sport at Pennsylvania and Princeton. The Quakers paid out only $*.794.19 and Princeton, but $4,229.88. Thus Har vard and Yale pay virtualy three times as much for rowing as Prince ton. The low cost of rowing at Prince ton is largely acounted for by the fact that Princeton does not compete Crimson the most. Harvard's football at either Poughkeepsle or New Lon surplus was $84,780.89 apainst $67,- don, and so does not have to bear 396.30 for Yale and $63,716.64 for the heavy training expenses of the Princeton. other universities.

Upon the assumption that lie screen is greater than both pulpit and press in its comprehensive power for the dissemination of great moral truths, "The Evil Thereof" is in the nature of a .powerful dramatic sermon. This notable subject, written toy Channing Pollock and Rennold Wolf, combines under stirring circumstances a story full of fidelity to life and the im pulses and passions of mankind, witih a motif of strange spiritual appeal.

MIGHT BAR USB OF MAIL Promoter of "The New City" De clares Hs Offered to Wttw Books—Love Former Keo kuk Citizen. Yesterday's Chicago Herald tabled a two column story by a staff correspondent relative to the opera tions of William -T. Love, who is pro moting a big project at Lomax, 111. The promotion ideas of Mr. LOTS Jiave heretofore found mention in the col umns of the Chicago papers. Mr. Love was fn earlier years a resident of Keokuk. This morning's Chicago Herald contained- the following refer ence to Mr. Love's operations and plans: William Lore's scheme for selling shares of the Lomax Town company through the mails and his proposition of giving Investors a return of $10,240 or more for an Investment of $10 has come under the official attention of the United States glvernment. The postofflce inspectors who in vestigated Mr. Love's proposition at Lomax, 111., or, as he cadis it, New City, have reported to District Attor ney Clyne, but none will reveal just what the official reports set forth. It Is understood, however, that they ad vocate criminal action, and if, In the opinion of the federal attorney, that cannot be taken that a fraud order be obtained Immediately from the post master general at Washington. A fraud order would bar Mr. Love from further use of the mails as long as it Is allowed to remain in force Offers to Show Books. Mr. Love, who is sole trustee and manager of the town company, told a reporter for (he Herald that two government inspectors recently had paid him a. visit, and that he bad of fered to throw open his books to them. They did not avail themselves of the offer, it'is said. The inspectors visited virtually ev ery Industry in Lomax. They ascer certained the number of vacant stores and dwellings and made memoranda of all the commercial interests which had begun business in Lomax and later ababndoned it, as well as those which now are in existence. In connection with the Lomax Town company is the Loaax Investment company, organized a year ago under the laws of the state of Delaware, with a capital stock ot $1,000,000. The Investment company is under a con tract with the town company imme diately to loan all the money ob tained by tho sale of stock to the town company. The Rev. F. L. Davis Is president of the Investment branch of the two com panies C. H. Kistner is secretary and F. A. Strickier Is treasurer. They and Dr. Homer Mead constitute the direc torate. Has Many Arguments. Mr. Love's proposition, as stated In a controlled newspaper, pamphlets, bulletins, dodgers, letters and other matter that he sends broadcast over the country through the malls, is to sell shares in the town company at i$10 each. This $10, he maintains, may be doubled until It has in creased to $10,240 or more. To those who are skeptical about $10 being made to earn $10,000 within Ave or six years, he has many argu ments. He declares he has had thirty years' experience in town building: that be has the most wonderful site in the world for a manufacturing city, and that the shares are almost certain to be worth the amount he claims within the time specified. All his arguments are said to have been set forth in the report made by the two inspectors to Mr. Clyne. Mr. Clyne declined yesterday to say whether grand jury action would fol low.

The Third regiment is using its own funds for some lum ber to make the camp livable. "The government cries tor sanita tion and then does not provide es sential equipment for sanitation, and no transportation facilities," Colonel Bennett further commented.
