THESE two trwirlers are the nominal leaders of their respective clubs, according to the latest averages,
although neither has taken part in as many games as some of the other pitchers. Urban Shocker
(on the left) has won six battles for the Yankees and lost one. for a percentage of .857. Rube Beo
ton, of the Giants, has won eight contests and lost two, his percentage being .800.
The
ORTLIGHT
fy Grant tend Rice
Naming the most astounding sporting achievement for
1S17 i? now a simple matter?practically beyond all debate.
No, it Isn't Matty's work in hoisting th? Reds to second
place?as uncanny as that s?em? to be.
Neither is th? return of Ty Cohb to the Old Homestead
in front of the flock.
The laurel belong? to Benny Leonard for knocking out
two such crafty ring generals as Frealdie Welsh and Johnny
Kilbane within a til "-month gap.
7/eonard's achievement in th" pas? vear has been almost
miraculous. We had only one good heavyweight and only
on ? or two good welters. But the suppiy of lightweights
-4*1 , ample, if not sufficient. First ther? wss Freddie
Welsh, ch?r.ipion; then Benny Leonard; then Richie
Mitchell ; then Charley White. And romping around with
these was Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight king.
Leonard's Upset
Leonard in turn met Richie Mitchell, Freddie Welsh and
Johnny Kilbane. To outpoint each of these was no ?oft
and simple assignment.
To knock any on? of the trio out wa? quite a little
affair, v.ith ten rounds or less to go.
What happened was thi??the trio la?ted, in bulk, 19
rounds. In in rounds of fighting Leonard knocked out
three of the toughest in the game. Welsh lasted 9 rounds
before he dipped into Poppy Land. Mitchell lasted but
T. Kilbane lasted less than I.
So by boxing less than 20 round? all told. Leonard
ha? hammered three of the be?t into complete ?ubmi??ion,
which ss evidence ii quite sufficient to brand him as one
of the greatest of them all. If he can add one or two
more after the manner of the above he will probably be
, awarded the crown for all time.
More than certainly over the short distance only a few
' have equalled Leonard'? record to date?Terry McGovern
being the pacemaker in this respect.
Leonard's Way
Leonard hasn't the fiery dash and overwhelming ruah
of Terry McGovern. He hasn't the durability or the ex
ce*-sive stamina of Bat Nelson. But he ha? something
I else. Ha has about all any great champion needs?skill,
speed, courage, generalship, the wallop and all the stamina
required. He ha? the rare combination of boxing skill and
the wallop. Most of the best boxer? lack the punch. They
know how to hit, block and get away, but thi? system of
fighting ?eem? to remove all steam from the punch. Leon?
ard, however, has the snap and the leverage, which must
be born in a fighter. No development or training can put
it there. Fitzsimmons had this to a marked degree. It
enabled him to hit a terrilic wallop from only ten or
twelve inches. He was not forced *n start a haymaker
from the hip to hrir.g about excessive damage. F'arting a
?va'lop tw. l-.e inches awnv, Pits Still had steam enough
to rock sn elephant's head
Leonard has this same ?nap?this same unusual lever?
age. When he looks to be merely tapping he has ?tO
sting. If Wille.rd wi'h hi? bulk had the same amount of
?nap or leverage in proportion hn could kill a buffalo or
a rhinoceros \?-;th one flstU salvo, aimed at the lower jaw,
Joe Gans had the whip lash punch, but. not even Gans had
the ftting from a short d * It Leonard StMma **?
carry.
The Short Distance Revival
Leonard has revived interest injne short digtance pro?
gramme at six and ten rounds. Heretofore a ten-round
affair meant nothing much h?yond an argument next day
as to which man had won.
Every now and then the lead would he decisive enough
for all to agree. But the?-, occasions were rare?and
knockouts were s'il! rarer.
Even Packy M<*Farlsnd at his best seemed content with
a fair margin, making no great effort for anything beyond.
But Leonard ha? broutrht the ten-round game to ?
decision basis. Ther* is *i? extended room for argument
left when you hammer ?n opponent cold and drive his
quivering features in?o the rosin.
i This prasaadlllt tmt ths happy knack of concluding all
rebuttal ar.d debate. 1? 11 the foil box score complete.
Very few had any idea that Leonard could knock out
Welsh in less than 10 rounds.
Ftill fower believed he could smother Johnny Kilbane
over the 6-round sprint.
Now when Leonard faces an opponent the old lethargy
will be gone, provided he keeps hustling.
The crowd esteems a decision, whatever the contest,
. and where the referee is unable to render a verdict the
' only chance left is the tap that ends in sleep.
-
Along the line of Leonard's whiplike snap only a few
' of the fighters have ever possessed this asset. Kid McCoy
had it to a marked degree. So did Bob Fi'.zsimmons. Terry
McGovern wa? another. Corbett and Jeffrie? had it to no
marked extent and neither has Willard. Wolgast had a
fair share of It, but not as much as Leonard.
Which recall? the fact that very few have ever sur?
passed Fred Stone, the actor, in this respect. Fred Stone

Butler's Spur Takes I
The Yonkers Handicap
iGen. Humidity
! Had Forces Out
Strong at Track
Bv HARRIETTE I NDERHII.l.
Going out in the 1:31 special to th?
! Empire Track yesterday some ene re?
marked: ?'We racing people have got
j to ?tick together." The words were
prophetic -they did; for not only was
I it. the hottest fourteenth dsy of the
? racing meeting on record, but General
Humidity had his forces out one hun?
dred thousand strong over at the r'.ub
; house, which, by the way, is not nearly
?o good a place to watch the racing.
j There was a aembiance of a bree?e, but
on the lawn and in the grandstand the
heat was terrific.
The top which was added to the
'. press stand, and which has heretofore
? served only to exclude the sun and the
j air, was put to another use yesterday.
! Some woman with a troublesome child
to e* 'ertain conceived the idea'of let?
ting him walk around on the roof of
the pr?s? stand, and other haras?ed
parent? followed ?uit. No doubt, it e*1
tertained the children. Thev ?ounded
as though they wer? having a rollick?
ing time, but, as it used to say on the
shaving mugs, "Think of me."
Lawn Crowd Taught Lesson
When the band played our splendid,
inspirl lg national nymn, every one in
the grandstand rose to his feet, but
not one man in ten down on the lawn
removed hi? hat, and a couple of them
: received a good lesson. One of our
boys in khaki stood at attention, look?
ing like a bronze ?tatue, when two men
attempted to pass him. A? h? did not
move they did as men alway? ?eem to
do at racetrack??tried to push him
over-and he turned to them and said:
"Remove your hats or I'll make you."
Bo they took them off without waiting
for him *o make them, and ?o did all of
the men in the vicinity. It was most
pleasing.
The little flivver is ?o gay these days!
It is decorated with flag? of all the A'
l-.e-d nations and seems to breath pa?
triotism.
That childlike Lyke -Christian name
Laurie- i? riding out In front a lot 0f
tats H? piloted the winner, Man?
ganese, to victory in the first race and
defeated the favorite, Englebert. One
of the oldtimers exclaimed, as he
watched him win: "That boy is a
wonder. He never h?d to be taught
how to ride. The first time they put
him up on a horse he began treading
the saddle, and he took King Radford,
which had had nothing but bad luck,
out on the track and won with him
'he fry* -ace he ever rode in. Which
means, that jockeys are born and not
made."
Cassldv Is Elated
L. A. ?"??sidy, who ha? charge of the
Staten Island meeting, to open August
I, is elated over the apparent success
of his sndsaTors.
More than a hundred horses are now
?t the track at Dor.gan Hills, and by
the opening day there w*!l be l< 0
more. The r*r?t race each day will be
run at 2:80, and five races will be run
each day at distances of from five for?
' longs up to one and a sixteenth miles.
Harry Stevens will have charge of
the refreshments. It has been neees
W?n to build 200 new stalls to accom?
modate the horses, and the track has
heei graded, so that it is now one of
the fastest half-mile courses in the
country.
The stewards for the meeting are
Henry J. Morris, secretary of the Na?
tional Pteeplechase and Hunt Club, and
? W. Bowrir.g.
The judge? are C. Cornehlsen and H.
P. Coi kiln***, ?nd the ?tarter is William
Bardar.
Among those whose horse? are en?
tered are W. Oliver, Qui icy Stable,
Nate Byers, Louis Feuste'., J. Kelly,
J. Mayherry, G. Alexander, W. D. Alt
hous-*. W. V. Casey and many others.

Woman Diver From West
Plans to Compete Here
John Metzger, of Detroit,
May Capture Title in
1,600-Yard Swim
Mis? Aileen Allen, of the Los An?
gele? A. C, national bpnngboard fancy
diving champion among women, is like?
ly to be ?een here this ?ummer. Sh?
ha? announced that sh? will compete
for the high diving outdoor title, and
if present, plant materialize the event
will be decided in New York. Mi??
Allen is a star all around merm.id.
Basidaa the niuiona! diving crown, sh?*
hold? the Pacific A. A. L. swimming
championship at 440 yards, and she ;?
also an SXport devotee of the bacs
Stroks and nlunge for diatance.
It begins to look a? if John Metz
j-e:. of tDS Metro,t. Y. M. C. A., wa>ro a
real find. II la latest victory at Tut-in
-.-, a l.t*'M>-\ard open swim, ?tamps
him a likely candidats for champion?
ship honors. He not only defeated by
nearly four minute? Ldgar Brsndau,
whe figured in the same fixture a year
ago, but he covered the distance In
open still water in 22 minute? 6 1-5
seconds, which indicates he could have
completed one mile well under 21 m;n
utes M ?econds.
The effort? of Robert Dowling, of
this city, to secure a match swimming
race a* tWMtJ miles or more bv
brought about an attractive prope??!
Followers of long distance swimming
huv* ordered to donate a hand?om?
trophy for an open cont??t in the Hud?
son River, from the Battery to Spuyten
Duyvil and back, approximately thirty
miles, and set th? date at September 9,
so that competitor? may hav? tha ?d
vantsi?e of a favorable tide both way?.
All that now remain? to be done i? to
find opponents for Dowling, which
?houldn't be difficult.
Th? news from Philadalphi? that
Mi?s Olga Dorfner, of the Turnge
meinde. will not take part in any r.a- I
tional swimming championships thi? i
season i? most disappointing. Her feat
of las! May, when eh?* ?hsttered the j
worlal's 5?'0-yard pool record for!
women, aroused the hope tha' sh?
would place other international stand- j
