BENNY LEONARD IS
.WORLD’S CHAMPION
OF LIGHTWEIGHTS
(AwoflilM PrtM.)
NEW YORK, May 28.—Benny Leon
ard won the world's lightweight cham
pionship by knocking out Freddy
Welsh In the ninth round of a ten
round match here tonight.
Welsh's downfall came at the end
of a series of rushes by Leonard that
drove him from corner to corner. The
champion had taken a severe beating
during the early rounds and the pun
ishment had begun to tell when the
gong for the ninth round sounded.
Leonard, fresh as the moment he had
entered the ring, jumped forward and
met the champion ae he was leaving
his corner and delivered a shower of
lefts and rights to the face and head.
‘ Welsh, vainly trying to ward off the
blows, worked his way Into Leonard's
corner where I^eonard succeeded In
reaching him with a smashing right on
the Jaw. Welsh fell on one knee and
hugged the ropeal
His strength gone, he strove weakly
to strike a lighting pose. As he left
the ropes, Leonard landed and Welsh
hit the floor. He struggled to his feet
twice more but each time he ,was met
by Leonard's rights to the face and
head, and again he fell to the floor.
The champion took the count of nine
before he arose from the last knock
down. He tried to stand but fell
across the ropes.
It was only a question of moments,
when he would have fallen and been
counted out. At this point Referee
McPartland leaped between the two
men, pushing Leonard away, and car
ried the defeated champion to hie cor
ner. A score of men occupying ring
side seats slumped Into the ring, and
lifting the new champion to their
shoulders, carried him In triumphal pro
cession around the hall. -
While the crowd was cheering Itself
hoarse, Welsh sat In a daze in his cor
ner. When he had recovered some
what and was told by his handlers of
his defeat, he refused to believe them
and fought fiercely to return to the
center of the ring.
In all of the succeeding rounds
Leonard concentrated his efforts pn
Welsh's body and succeeded In whip
ping his right repeatedly to the cham
pion's stomach. It was this blow, per
sistently used, that wore the champion
down.
i^eonara weighed m at 133 pounds;
Welsh at 136 3-4.
Freddie Welsh won the world's light
weight championship by receiving the
referee’s decision after outboxlng Wil
lie Ritchie, the American title holder,
In a 20 round bout In London, July 7,
1914. Previous to tonight's contest,
Leonard and Welsh met twice in no
decision, ten round, bouts.
Leonard was born In New York city
In 1896. His recent knockout of Ritchie
Mitchell of Milwaukee, Wls., caused him
to be regarded as a contender for the
world's title.
Leonard, the new world's champion,
lightweight, will "not wait for con
scription," but will enlist In the United
States army after a six round bout In

GENERAL REALIZING
IN COTTON CAUSES
DECLINE IN PRICES
NEW YORK, May 28.—Thera wu haavy
general realising or liquidation In the cotton
market today and an opening advance wae
followed by a sharp break with October con
tracts selling off from 21.38 to 20.88 and
closing at 20.91. The general list closed
steady at a net loss of 28 to 21 points. *
The market opened steady at an advance
of 2 to IS points and sold 12 to 21 point*
net htgher during the early trading. Bull
l»h private reports stimulated the buying,
and July was relatively firm on New Bed
ford advlcea Indicating that such serious da
| lays w ere being experienced in securing cot
ton from the South that spinners were buy
ing from Northern warehouses. That de
livery sold up to 21.77, making a new high
record for the esason. Cater months did
not fully recover the reactions of Saturday
and as soon as the initial buying had been
supplied the market turned easier under
profit taking. Probably the failure of low
private condition figures to bring In a
broader demand encouraged a belief that a
bullish report from the government next
Friday had been discounted. The tendency
! to even up was also promoted by the extent
of recent advices and the fact that Wadnes
day la to be holiday in the American mar
kets. There was buying enough to cause
bulges frcm time to time during the day,
but each advance met renewed realizing and
the lowest prices were reached late in the
afternoon with July selling at 21.25. while
December eased off from 21.43, the early
high level, to 20.98, and the general list
showed a net lose of 21 to 38 points. Tho
close was a few polnta up from the lowest
on covering. Three private crop reports
were Issued, one of them making the condi
tion 72./ and the decrease In acreage 3.2
per cent. Another placed the condition at
71.1 and the reduction in acreage at 5 per
cent, while the third showed a condition of
71 and a decrease of 1.621,000 acres In the
area planted. The government report* or.
Friday, giving the condition as of May 26,
will compare with 77.6 last year and. 79.1
the ten year average. No exports today; so
far this 8%&son 4,841,335. v
N. O.’COTTON
NEW .ORLEANS, LA., May 21 —A re
action from the advance waa brought about
In cotton here today, the market feeling
eelling for both accounta. There waa much
liquidation of long contracta, sellers desir
ing to even up because of the holiday Wed
nesday and the Lureau report Friday. Bear
traders saw the trend of the market and
added pressure of their own, being encour
aged by hlgner private estimates of the con
dition of the crop and a quieter spot mar
ket. At the lowest of the day active months
were 24 to 38 points under Saturday’s last
quotations. The close waa 19 to 29 under.
Around the opening the most active
months lost a point but almost immediately
after the market commenced to advance on
fresh buying stimulated by the low tem
peratures in the northwestern portion of the.
belt and continued crop complaints from
localities in the belt. At the highest the
trading months were 15 to 20 points up.
This improvement carried July to a new
high level. Offerings became heavy at the
peak of the rise, there was a sag and dur
ing the remainder of the session the ten
dency was toward lower levels.
Private condition reports ranged from 71
per cent of the normal to 72.7 as against
reports of around 70 last week.

While the cotton market sustained Its
first break Monday in many days. Mont
gomery spots remained very quiet and quo
tations were unchanged from Saturday. No
sales were recorded in this city. Respond
ing to the weakness. New York spots de
clined 25 points and New Orleans spots broke
6 points.
The decline Is believed to have been due
to quite a number of the bulls, who real
ised on the recent climb, selling out and
taking their profits. This, it was claimed,
they did very quietly, causing the break to
come without anticipation.
It is remarked that cotton is expected to
remain nervous until after bureau day Fri
day. Reports over the country did not de
note that weather conditions played a part
in the drop of the market, although severe
storms swept over a part of the country
Sunday.
SHEPARD & GLUCK
(Over W. K. Campbell’s Private Wire.)
NEW ORLEANS. LA.. May 28.—Following
a brief period of higher prices, cotton re*
acted today under liquidation and some lit*
tie short selling, the latter being based on
the belief that the recent advances have
weakened the technical position and that
more or less liquidation may be expected
before Bureau Day. which is Friday. Also,
private estimates of the condition of the
growtng crop were higher than the estimates
of last week and there was a quieter tone
In the spot market.
The early rise c&reled the market 15 to 20
points up The* reaction carried the trading
most 24 to 88 points below Saturday's last
prices. The close showed a net dec.lne for
the session of 19 to 29 polnta Three
private condition reports made their ap
peaarnre today, one putting the condition
of the new crop at 72.7 per cent of the
normal, another at 71.1 and another at 71.
These reports had the effect of shaking the
belief of bullish traders in a record low
condblon report from the government. The
record now standing Is 70.5. made In 1907.
Last year tho condition was 77.5 and the
ten year average is 79.1.
The market probably will be nervous until
after the Bureau Day and evening up Is to
be expected between now and that time.
We believe In buying when the market la
unduly depressed.
Liverpool tomorrow Is due 1 % down on
New Orleans and 6*4 down on New York.

LIKELIHOOD OF BIG
CORN CROP CAUSES
DECLINE IN WHEAT
CHICAGO. May 29.—Likelihood of a
record-breaking big corn yield this seaaon
had much to do today with sharp declines
in prices of corn and wheat. The market
closed heavy for wheat, with values 1 to C
cents net lower at 92.05 for July nad 91.94
for September. Corn finished % to ft fee
down, oats unchanged to fee higher and
provisions off ft to tie.
General rushes to sell on the part of
both longs and shorts brought down corn
prices in a hurry. The greatest smash of
values was In the July delivery, which made
an extreme descent of 7fe. Aggressiveness
on the bear side was accompanied by wide*
spread assertion* that with a continuance
of existing favorable weather conditions the
1917 crop of corn would surpass all previous
known totals.
Reactions which ensued from the lowest
price level rearhed were attributed mostly
to profit taking by shorts.
Wheat showed a little more activity than
has been the rule of late, but the amount
was puny alongside tho huge volume of
business in corn. Foreigners appeared to be
the chief sellers of July wheat. The fact
was noted that world shipments were larger,
especially from Australia. A big decrease
in the United States visible supply figures,
led temporarily to rslatlvs firmness, but the
general tendency In the end was again down
grade. '
Indications pointed to good export demand
for oata.
Provisions fell prlth hogs and corn. Lard
was weak.
