Leonard Stops Welling in 14th Round, Scoring Technical Knockout in Bout at Garden
Record Croivd Sees Champion
Triumph in One-Sided Battle
Title-Holder Drops Opponent Three Times in 13th
and Referee Intercedes After Knockdown in Next
Round: Winner Weighs 131 Lbs. at 2 o'Clock
By Grant'.and Rice
Benny Leonard is still lightweight champion of the world after one of
the wildest finishing flurries Madison Square Garden has even known.
One minute and seven seconds after the fourteenth round started with
Joe Welling, of Chicago, reeling around the ring, hut gamely groping
through a blur of blood to find his opponent, Referee Johnny Haukop
jumped in between the two battlers and held up Leonard's glove in token
of victory.
Welling was badly punished lasti
but the Chicago veteran made
one of the gamest stands in ring his?
tory. Shortly after the thirteenth
round opened Leonard hooked a rigr.t
io the staggering effect, and
.?-or-., with 14,000 fight fans on their
feet yelling and shouting, Leonard
? red his opponent
y i :' i ights and lefts to the

in seven seconds he was on his feet

badly dazed by the terrific punishment.

tinu ?d his wild fus
until Welling crashed again. This
time he fell through the rones. The
crowd now was in a frenzy, figuring
thai the bal er. But W< inj
refused to quit.
Floored for Third Time
Wit! unbeaten courage he again
staggered to his feet, peering for I ii
opponent through or.p eye, and for the
third t me Leonard's savage assault
left him floundering with his face in
the resin. But for the third time
Welling staggered to his feet as the
tattoo of Leonard's fast flying gloves
was unheard amid the wild roar that
came from every section of the build?
ing. I

flu* he had the spirit that refuses to
acknowledge defeat.
Again he swayed and tottered to his
feet to tako everything that Leonard
-,ad, but a few seconds later, wich the
lightweight champion soaking his op
ponent's features with a whirl of
rights and lefts Refere*. Haukon de?
cided th ?? Welling's case was hopeless
and that he had suffered enough. It
was on? E the gamest exhibitions of
sheer curage and physical stamina
ever seen in a New York ring, but
Leonard's greater speed at.: superior
?kill were too grent.
Never Had a Chance
Welling never had a chance. He was
op against an opponent who outclassed
- physical and mental speed. For
the first twelve rounds Leonard seemed
content to pile up a big lead. Only in
the sixth and seventh rounds did he
Welling to any extent, and after
first time his lees began to wabble as
h lot of stuff. After the twelfth round
had passed it seemed certain that
g would go the limit. But that
? ook to the jaw early in the thir
te< ? th changed the situation.
Welling's left eye had been closed
earlier in the fight, but now for the
me his Ieg3 bega r.to wobble as
he attempted to bore in. Leonard here
<:.- r is chance. Without wasting a
second, he dashed at hia almost help?
less opponent and began to hammer
him to the fl or.
How Welling stood up so long under
the c? nstant and t.-rri?e battering is a
mystery. On three occasions he looked
to be h pelessly eone out in poppyland
to ?-. I ? rue he came back
' r n re. He was hopelessly beaten
when the referee finally decide?! to stop
the utrequai contest.
Welling Still Game
Hopelessly beaten, but still giving the
best he had, he was still on his feet and
willing to go on. Leonard's speed was
the winning factor. The lightweight
chamr. - w, - as fast as a flash, dancing
'.!?. and out - th a wonderful display oi
foot ? that Welling couldn't match.
The Western ve-eran put up a great
fight, but he was unable to break
thrcu?': Leonard's wonderful defense.
Wciiii g tried everything he had, but
Leonard either beat him to the punch
or he d ar unbroken guard that couid

The big thrill however, was reserved

Crowd Sivarms Carden i
Hours Before Contest
By W. J. Macbeth
Scenes around the historic Garden
from 6 o'clock until .'.?most the time '
Leonard and Wei.?ng clambered into
the ring carrier. New York's sport
oving public back to'the red lettei
daj of the Dorando-Ji hnny Haj i s
marathon and the Willard-Moran exhi?
bition.
Seldom if ever before was such a
concourse of noisy sport wooers
crowded within the amphitheater which
has smiled down on every game, every
variety, every form of sport, comedy
and tragedy since? the big town was
in swaddling clothes. The crowd was
?imited by capacity only^badly stretched
and crowded capacity at that, and the
long armed minions of the fire laws
saw to it that the aisles and rafters
were not unduly congested.
Many Women Fans Present
Everybody who was anybody, it
seemed, was at the ringside or not far
away from it. In the circle of light
thrown by the big cluster of incan?
descents^ directly over the ring could
be seen many of New York's m ist
prominent?socially, financially and
mentally. And, too, physically, for
that matter, ^ome of the finest physi?
cal types, beetle-browed and scowling,
leered out of the galleries before the
lights were doused and ogled the
daintily-gowned women who braved
the smoke clouds of the big pit.
When, shortly before 8:30, An?
nouncer Joe Humphreys introduced
Harvey Bright, of Brooklyn, and Jim?
my Howard, of Hoboken, for the first?
preliminary of six rounds, there was
not a vacant seat to be round closer
than Fifth Avenue. Howard weighed
128% and Bright 12j pounds. Referee
Da:. Hickey did not have to render a
decision, as the judges ga\e the fight
to Bright on point?.
In the other bouts, Frank McGuire,
of Williamsport, Fa., defeated Jim
Duffy, of Chicago, in a slushing ti n
round bout, and Panama Joe Cans
knocked out George Christian. This
latter bout appeared to be a dancing
contest in the first two rounds and
when the crowd began yelling for ac?
tion Gans whipped over a left upper
cut and ended the argument.
Welling First in Ring
Welling was first to enter the ring.
He came in at 9:12, attended by his
manager, Nate Lewis, and a bevy of
handlers. A flock of camera men were
already Jined up for the usual flash?
light stuff while they waited the. pleas?
ure of Champion Leonard.
The $2 500 diamond belt, which Tex
Rickard is to present to the winner
of the fight as emblematic of the light?
weight championship of the world, was
next shown by Announcer Humphreys,
and caused many a sigh of envy from
the ringside chairs ?where the scions
of the press wore ensconced. Leonard
entered the ring at 9:47 and after 'he
customary introduction of fistiania's
notables, the tight was on.
Near Comedy at Weighing In
That Benny Leonard, world's light?
weight champion, was the champion,
and legitimately, at least, when his
battle against doe Welling started was
proved to the satisfaction of twoscore
newspaper men and privileged fight
devotees at Madison Square Garden at
2 o'clock yesterdaj afternoon. At that
'?'me Leonard weighed exactly 134 and
Welling 135 pounds. Walter Hooke, a
member ?f the New "fork Suite Box?
ing ^Commission, officiated at the
scales.
There was a touch of near comedy
to the proceeding, and, indeed, two of
iicial weighings. When Leonard first
stepped onto the scales the beam was
ball : ced at 134"v4 pounds.
Welling scaled 135M; pounds.
"I cannot und rst ind it at all," cried
We.ling and his manager, Nate Lewis,
.?i unison.
"Why, Joe just weighed before he
left the hotel,-' moaned Lewis, "and he
'ailed to move ti " beam at V?0
pounds."
"If there has been any tampering
with these scales," said Billy Gibson,
manager of Leonard, "I certainly wish
to know it. I'll bet a million dollars
to a plugged dime, Benny doesn't
weigh 135."
"I could claim your thousand-dollar
forfeit," Gibson continued, turning to
Nate Lewis. "Perhaps 1 should claim
it.
"But I'll not". he finished, half
banteringly.
"It's a fine commentary on the light?
weight division," G bs< n cont nued,
"when a champion ea> to concede
weight, to a challenger. But a half
pound or two is nothing in the young
iife of my boy."
"Don't Need Money," Says Leonard
Leonard refused even for a moment
to entertain the idea of claiming Wel?
ling's thousand, which he was justi?
fied in doing after the fii'Jt official
?-eighing.
i don't need money that bad," he
smiled.
.Meanwhile, a battery of newspaper
photographers had gathered to snap
he two fighters in ring costume on
he scales. Welling had forgotten to
bring trunks and had to borrow those
if the champion.
The. champion and challenger en?
gaged in a fling or two of good
natured bantir a* the*y were dressing.
All this time Walter IL.oke, of the
Boxing Commission, had bien subject
ng the scares to the most rigorous ex?
amination. He finally discovered a
mall piece of wood under the plut
torm. After having this removed he
? rdered the pugilists to strip and re
weigh, the scales having been balanced
r ? rfectly and levelled. It was found
then that Leonard weighed only 134
pounds and that Welling saved his for?
feit. Trie- Chicagoan weighed exactly
135 rounds.
Foreign Teams
Lose One Lap
In Bike Grind
Girardengo and Kopsky Are
Hurt in Spill; Two More
Pairs Drop Out of Rare
By Fred Hawthorne
A field of twenty-four riders, survi?
vors of the thirty who hegan the race
last Sunday at midnight, were still in
the nerve-wrecking grind of the six
ciay bicycle race at the 22d Regiment
Armory last night, twenty-two hours
before the finish of the affair.
These riders represented the tried
and preved athletes of the lot, the
weaker members having been- unable
to endure the test longer. Two teams
dropped out during the afternoon and
early evening hours, Gaffney and Ver
raes and Keller and Hanley being those,
to fall b.. the wayside.
Eight of the surviving teams were
still tied for the lead on distance cov?
ered aWmidni^ht, with three pairs ?
Buysse and Spiessens, Dupuy and
Godivier and Girardengo and Oliveri?i
one lap to the bad. Piercey and Os
territter had dropped out earlier in
the day.
After the series of ten sprints for i
points last night the standing of the
teams was as follows: Magin and
Madden, 333; Goullet and Hill, 315; :
Eaton and Kaiser, 247; Spencer and
Corry, 215; Aerts and Deruyter, 156;
McBeath and Walker, 148; Drobach and!
Webber, 112, and Bello and Kopsky, 64.
Goullet in Great Form
These night dashes showed Alfred '
Goullet in great form. Three times,
notably in the first, seventh and ninth!
sprints, Alf flashed over the finish line;
ahead of his rivals. Madden, Deruyter
and McBeath, respectively, finished sec- :
end in these point race-. The six-day
champion always seemed to have some?
thing in reserve and he looks like the!
.-?longest rider in the race right now.
Goullet and Hill collected a total of
4'} points in these ten official sprints
to Magin and Madden's 40, still j
further reducing the lead that the pair:
started the day's work with. McBeath ?
and Walker, the Australians, won 33
points last night and were third in line :
for the evening.
The sprints resulted as follows:
First?Goullet, Madden, Kaiser,
Spencer. Deruyter, McBeath.
Second Aerts. Magin, Hill, Walker,,
Eaton, i orry.
Third?Drobach, McBeath, Goullet,:

Fourth Magin. Hill, Walker, Eaton.

Sixth.-Aerts, Eaton, Hill, Corry, Ma

Eighth -Magin Hill, Walker, Eaton,
Webber, Corry.
Ninth? Goullet, McBeath, Kaiser, '
Madden, Spencer, Deruyter
Tenth?Magin, Bello," Hill. Corry,
Eaton. Aerts.
Corry-Spencer Lose Gronnd
Five minutes before midnight last i
night the team of Arthur Spencer and !
Frank Corry lost a lap during a furi?
ous jam started by Alex McBeath.
Just after the Australians had lost
?;. ?ii iap and while another spiint was
still on, Marcel Buysse, Spei sen's part?
ner, Jake Magin and Cecil Walker an
cthei Australian, collided com ng down
outherrt straightaway and were
catapulted into the railing by the in?
ri? i. Walkei soon picked himself up
?:- . walked to his cot, and Buysse war,
able to resume in ten minutes Neither
was badly hurt, but Magin was knocked
senseless and had not returned at
12:30.
\t midnight it was announced that
Constante Girardengo had retired from
the race and Oliveri. his partner, had
'leen paired with Charley Osteritter,
'?? ho, a few minutes, before, nad been
I d( clared out of the race.
The daylight hours yesterday were
i featured by some of the most sensa?
tional sprintine; and accidents o?" the
entire week. Une team, Willie Han
, ley and Willie Keller, which had been
I well up with the leaders all through
| the grind, was declared officially out
i of the race at 4 o'clock in the after
I 0 II
it was young Keller who was re?
sponsible for his team's passing out.
For more than twelve hours Hanley's
partner had been suffering greatly
from sadd!e soreness and at noon he
was compelled to quit and go to the
hospital for repairs.
Hanley had four hours in which to
get a new partner, but when the time
limit had expired and he could not
team up with anybody else, Willie had
to drop out. This left thirteen teams
j in the race when the riders began the
i night session of pedal pushing.
lour teams were lapped about 4
o'clock in the afternoon, just after the
i five-point sprints had been finished.
i Those who dropped one lap ?behind
were Gaffney and Verraea, Speissens
and Dupuy and Godivier.
At 9:15 o'clock last night it was an?
nounced that the team of Gaffney and
Verraes had withdrawn from lie race
as a result of the injuries Gaffney had
received in the afternoon sj ill.
Alfred Goullet started the "jan?"
that led to the four teams losing their
lap. Alf, who had not taken a promi?
nent part in the point scoring, sud?
denly darted away from the field at
the finish of the fifth spurt and set n
terrific pace as he fairly streaked

mentioned were lapped after some' des?

The jam was still on when '.he worst
p.ccident of the week occurred and the
judge's' bell was rung, ending the
sprinting for the time being. The
trouble came as the field was whirl?
ing around the ni rt west 'urn of the
track. Fred Webber's front wheel
skidded and he crashed ''rom the top
of the bank down to the flat. Im?

Girardengo went down in a heap and
A '? nse Aerts, of Belgium, rode di

ing ! im severely.
Girardengo's trainers rushed to the
'? Ben man and carried him to his
quarters. Carlo Oliveri, Girardengo's
partner, then took the track and rode
continuously for several hours, while
his mate was being patched up. At
8 o'clock last night it was not known
whether the injured rider would be
able to continue ?n the race.
Joe Kopsky, Spencer, Eaton and De?
ruyter also fell to the track in this
mix-up, and, Kopsky was ba.ily hurt,
.' on the bark of his head as he
fe'l. Tom Bello, his partner, was
forced t'> keep the track for more than

Star to Play Second
pRANK FRfSCH, the Giants* bril?
liant third baseman, ha? signed !
a contract for next season, it was !
learned last night. Manager Mc- ;
Graw was so p'eased with the for- ' '
; mer Fordham star's great showing
I last season that he has given the
youngster a substantial increase in ;
j salary for 1921.
If Rapp. ?ho was recently pur?
chased from the St. Paul club of the
American Association, makes good
at third base next spring, Frisch will
be shifted to second base, a position
he has wanted to play ever since
joining the New York club. McGraw
has declarod that he expectB Frisch :
to develop into one of the greatest
second basemen that ever played the
| game.
The "Fordham Flash" !s one of I
