Can’t Explain

while others frankly admitted that
the crowd s‘rss greater then ex-

Tickets were on sale during the day

, sale was transferred to the armory.
The line at the armory formed

From that time forward. until

the police station for police to help
those on duty and 16 men under
Sergeant J. .1. Butler responded.

In their memorable battle In New
York. May 3|. 101?. when Leonard
brought the lightweight title back to
America.
Leonard knew he ”could beat
Welsh: he had already outpointed
him on twa previous occasions in 10-
round bouts. But kneels him out?—
that was the thumb in Benny's
chowder. Leonard had to knock
him out or in all probability lose his
chance at the lightweight title.
I
defensive fighters the 'ring has
known‘that was a large order for
a fighter of even Leonard's known
ability.
Leonard called that battle the
hardest of his entire ring career.
even though he came out of it with
hardly a scratch. For days before the
bout he had it dinned into his ears.
"You must knock him out." Bound
after round during the fight. on Lee-
nard pounded at Weleh's uncanny
defense. he kept repeating to him-
‘self. "You must knock him out."
Billy Gibson. his manager and
George Engel. his trainer. told him
earnestly between rounds. “You
must knock him one."
With that command ringing In
his ears, Leonard tore Into the
champion from the opening bell.
He showered rights and lofts at
Weish's head. most of which glanc-
ed off Freddy‘s arms and elbows us
harmlessly as rain off a turtlc's
shell.
It was Leonard's fight all the
way. He scored repeatedly. There
was never a moment when he was
in danger. But it was a no-decision

It looked encouraging for Benny
in the fourth. A right that weaved
past Walsh's guard to his chin stag-
gered the champion. Three more
rights and lofts to the same spot had
him on the run. But the canny
Welshman called upon his defensive
tactics and woathered the period.

savage chops and Welsh was down
again. For the second time he pull-

him once more. turning him into a
human punching bag.
Virtually unconscious, Welsh was
wedged in a corner. He dropped for
the third time. but struggled back
to his feet. his hands hanging help-

Referee “Kid" lllcl’nriland looked
