NEW YORK. July 11.——.\’ot only"
'one but two of the men who haxe
been spoken of as candidates for the
'World's lightweight monarchy when
Benny Leonard officially steps into
the welterweight di\islon were elim-
inated at Henderson's Bowl last Tues
day night.
Sid Barbarian was beaten by Jack
Zivic Who had great difficulty mak-
ing the weight and who cannot hope
to box as lightweight for many more
weeks. Zivic will be a full fledged
welterweight by Ooctobcr and is
likely to grow into a middleweight
in another year or so.
The elimination of Barbarian and
vlc leaves four in the race. They
are Luis \‘iventina. Rocky Kansas,
Sid Terri: and Sammy Alandell.

day night when Kansas and \‘icintini
crawl through the ropes.
In the last Kansas-Dundee bout in

gin was a slender one. ‘
On the basis of the two matches

\‘icentini has been improving with
very start. Kansas has passed his

geous, heady fightcd and generally
ood against a right hand liltit‘r like
icentini. But the Chili-an has dm el-
ped a. mighty good left hand and it
ill be a two hand fighter whom
ansas will have to race next Mon-
