With Benny Leonard, champion of Ell the lightweights, stepping out of his class to engage Jack Britton, a in battle, while Fred Tulton. persistent challenger of Jpss WUlard for the heavweight crown, engages Bob Devere. a rising young husky, in a ten-round setto.

the pugilistic calendar for the current-week will be especial interest to followers of tho boxing game Leonard nnd Brltton are scheduled to get together at New York city next Friday night On the same evening Fulton and Devere will trade wallops at Milwaukee Chief interest naturally centers the contest between Leonard nnd Brit, ton because of tho fact that many think the lightweight champion is tackling a mighty tough job grizzled Brltton, The latter Is n. wise old bird in the boxing game. He has been champion in his class and is now runner up. He TV 111 Sive Leonard real battle, or all the dope' is wrong. Brltton will have-a advantage In the poundage.

Whwrithe match made it was stipulated: tthat Britton should enter the" ring a 138 pounds, a weight' that he" can easily 'make and still retain 'his fullfest physical strength. other band, Probably wilt scale about pounds. 1 Can Leonard register a- victory--a decisive his heavier opponent? That is a question- alt fol- owers of, the fistic game are asking MOW. If Brltton should wlnrpercnance decisively. Leonard will bo universally censured for not staying In his class.

It is true that Benny bas frequently fought near welters and emerged victorious, but that was in the days before he became a world's champion. A defeat then would not have boon a stain on bis prestige, such as would be tho case now if Brltton were to whip him. i IffSff fllS: 91 Greed of Boxers and Managers Fast Driving Good Fellows Away From the Sport.
