i 4ls- i 2 r- a jj lfNlAV FEBRUARY 27 1 2f i ps' Room for Endless Argument In Comparing Benny Leonard With Cans Declares Edgren BY ROBERT EDGREX. Many timers and some old- timers have asked me whether or not Itwonld conslder Benny Leonard in Joe GanB class as a lightweight champion. Right there Is room for endless argument. Except In thou athletic events where distances and time Show' exactly what performances are its almost impossible to compare presentchampons with former titleholders. Ill say that Leonard has shown himself easily muter' of all rivals In his class today and a great lightweight.

In many points he la very. much like Cans who is conceded the muter boxer of all. the great time Jlgbtwelghts Joe' Cans started as a knockout artist when he was a. small boy working In the fish market at Baltimore. He won his tint eight rights with knockouts.

He had been fighting over two years when he Had his first reverse. being beaten by Dal Hawkins decision In fit- teen rounds. His winning streak started again Immediately and went along smoothly until he was knocked out by George McFadden in 1899. Soon after that he lost to Frank Eros In twelve rounds. the fight being stopped because Cans had a badly cut eye and couldn't see.

Terry MGoveru Knocked Cans out In two rounds. and years later he lost a fifte round decision to Sam Langford then a lightweight. He won fights again until 1908. when Battling Nelson fought him twice. knocking- him out in seventeen and twenty-one rounds.

At that time Cans was in the decline that ended in his death from tuberculosis a year or so later. Of course Cans tough hundreds of ring en gagements but Leonard Isn't at the end or his righting career and may have as long- a record If he doesn't retire. Benny Leonard has been knocked out too. Benny began boxing at Hilly Gibson's old Falrmont A. C.

In the Bronx. New York. when he was only 16 and showed such speed that Gibson became his manager and matched him up to the championship in five years. Strong- on K. Om In his first y- of ring work Benny won of fights with knockouts.

lit was knoclred out lilmsell by Joe Shugrue In four rounds. Shugrue was a very fast and clever lightweight. In his second year Benny won only three fights with knockouts fought many with no decision and was knocked out by Frankie Fleming. a first- lass little Canadian. Two years later Benny Flopped being a "feather duster ooxer" and began studying the science of winning with a clean K.

O. and among the good ones he knocked out were Joe Mandot. of New Orleans and Ever Hammer. In 1917 Leonard started a whirl- 1. od knockout campaign that won him the lightweight championship.

which he still holds. Wfthtn ten weeks Leonard knocked out Packey Hommey nine rounds Ritchie Miteheir seven rounds Charlie Thomas six rounds' Eddie Shan non. six rounds and Lightweight Champion Freddy Welsh nine rounds About this time people began to talk about Benny Leonard as "another Joe Gans. With the confidence of a real champion he. went right along knocking out opponents and not picking soft ones.

He knocked out Johnny Nelson and Featherweight Champion Johnny Kttbane. Young Record Phil Bloom. Eddie lorey and Vie Moran. About this time Leo Johnson. a splendidly built colored boy and a clever boxes was called black lightweight champion and many thought he could beat Leonard.

Benny announced that unless he could whip all opponents regardless of color he didn't care to call himself champion. He fought Leo In New York less than tour months after beating Welsh. As the two faced each other Ill admit that I. for one. wondered if Benny was up against The colored boy was better built for fighting an almost.

perfect double for clans himself. easy and smooth In action. wide-shouldered strong quick and with the easy gliding grace of a burn boxer. He had the catlike action so of ten seen in black fighters who seem bred for the sport. penny looked a little clumsy In comparison as they sparred for the tint opening.

finely's Plastered Hair. Benny Leonard always has his hale smoothly brushed and at that time Gibson boasted that no boxer had ever ben able to muss Benny's hair In the ring not even the clever Welsh. So the crowd gasped when Leo calinly reached out in the first mlxup and deliberately roughed Benny's plastered locks with his open hand grinning as Jis did so. It was evidently meant to get Benny's goat. It was Leos fatal mistake.

With a sudden flare of fury Bennyleap ed at Leo like a wildcat. He swarmed all over the black champion. beating down his guard and. hammering him back to the ropes. Crushing blows landed faster than the eye coudl follow the.

flying gloves and within a minute In that first round. Johnson was helpless. was beaten down was counted out. He never Had a chance to start a blow after he rumpled Benny's hair and grinned at him. Leonard boxed many bouts for various war funds during the war and a few for himself.

On the night knocked out Welsh he announced that he Intended to volunteer for army service the following week. This he would have done If he hadn't been instructed a day or two later by the war department to report for assignment as boxing instructor at one of the army camps. He was sent to Camp Upton where he did splendid work and tau boxing methods to thousands of soldiers and officers un UI the war was over. While. Leonard has fought several good' rights since' the war.

Every week there are scattered crowds that make trips of several miles Into the surrounding Many needed bad habits could be regulated. such as riding with open mufflers dirty motors unnecessary speeding in the city limits and In small towns.

With a club and regular officers and rules many of these bad features could be removed. This club could affiliate with the National M. A. T. A.

and take put In many events during the season. One big event particularly in which Atlanta riders do not take. part Is the 1111. tlonal gypsy tours. Last June over 300 motorcycle clubs in America or more than 19000 riders took part In these tours.

Special efforts this year will be thad to make this event much larger than in 1920. Its to be hoped that Atlanta motorcyclists will be listed this year In touring. The most successful motorcycle clubs start from curbstone clubs. We should at least organize a curbstone club" to begin with. Back in the palmy days of bicycles Atlanta supported three bicycle clubs at one time.

Surely we should have lit least one motorcycle club. Dig efforts should' be made to get riders to help to lift the. standard of motorcycling to its proper place Motor Tourists At least ISO motorcycle tourists have passed through Atlanta In the past four months on. their way to Florida. These tourists usually carry a complete camping outfit and are able to' get over Toad.
