NEW YORK, Oct. Ui.--r.enny Leon
ard. the capable youth who holds the
world's lightweight championship, now
wants to hold the welterweight and
middleweight titles of the world. He
wants to attempt what he proved
couldn’t be done by men in his class.
Billy Gibson, manager of the cham
pion. declares once upon a time Ben
nearly knocked Jim Coffey, heavy
weight, stiff while the pair were box
ing in a gymnasium. He believes
Benny would be able to outbox Mike
Gibbons, and he is willing for the
youngster to go against Ted Lewis,
probably the most dangerous of the
Jot fpr Leonard.
If Benny should be able to do all
the things Billy Gibson claims for him
he would take his place alongside the
Sphinx and the Pyramids as one of
the wonders of the world, for never
has thei% been a lightweight who as
pired to such heights. Good as he is,
it seems Benny is taking in just a lit
tle bit too much territory.
It will be a long time before the
public and Leonard forget what the
lightweight champion did to Johnny
Kilbane when they met in Philadel
phia shortly after Kilbane and Leon
ard had each beaten Freddie Welsh.
.Leonard gave Kilbane the worst beat
ing of his career.
Kllbane is considered the highest
type of fighter in the business, not
even excepting Leonard. He is con
ceded to lie just as good in his own
class as Leonard is in the lightweight
division, yet Leonard beat him. That
was the old story of a good big man
against a good little man, and there
is no reason to believe Leonard would
be able to reverse the order of things
should he meet a heavier man.
Ted Lewis is one of the hardest hit
ters in the game. Likewise, he is a
very clever boxer. Mike Gibbons is
ever saw. Leonard is taking a long
one of the greatest boxers the game
chance to step into a ring with Lewis.
And it would be laughable to see him
try to land a right hand smash on
Gibbons' jaw. The best of the middle
weights have tried it. only to fail mis
erably.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. — This city
is the busy spider in the mammoth
web of telephone and telegraph wires
woven as if by magic since the war
was declared, linking up camp, can
tonments and war organizations
throughout the country direct with
headquarters here.
Through this monster system of
communications Secretary of War
Baker could get the commanding offi
cers at ail the cantonment camps in
the country on the wire and talk to
them as though they were sitting be
side his at Washington. A camp
commander on the Pacific coast can
sit down and talk over with a camp
commander on the Atlantic coast.
“It Is a striking tribute to the sci
ence of communication," said Chair
man Daniel Willard, of the council of
national defense, today, "that a coun
try so vast can be knit so closely to
gether as the United States is at pre
sent with its war emergency system
of telephone and telegraph lines.
“The work of the companies is the
more remarkable because it has been
accomplished in the face of a greatly
increased demand for commercial ser
vice. Despite obstacles which seemed
at times insuperable the government's 1
requirements have been met.
“As soon as the iocatiotfUf all tho
national army cantonments had been
decided on the work of providing ade
quate telephone facilities, with suit
able stork of 'switchboards, loading
coils, cable and other material, pro
gressed swiftly. Because the camps
are In most cases several miles from
the nearest city, it has been necessary
to plan for a targe increase In the
trunks of the nearby city.
"In addition to all this permanent
work, temporary telephone facilities
were furnished the contractors en
gaged in construction work. About
300 miles of wire was placed at tho
disposal of contractors or other indi
viduals engaged in the building of the
cantonments or similar war activities,
and extraordinary efforts were re
quired to replaco Immediately tho fa
cilities which had been taken from ‘
commercial service. [

In record time can be found in reports
on the communication work for avia
tion training fields, for guards at
bridges, water supplies and other pub
lic works, and for plants involved In
war activities, where service had to
be installed without delay. Particular
attention has also been given to tele
phone requirements of the railroads to
enable them to handle efficiently
transportation of large bodies of
troops.
“The work of the coast guard tele
phone lines is being continued active- i
ly. Hundreds of miles of armored -
submarine cable are being used in
coast guard projects along the New
England coast, and the work of con
structing land lines to connect with
the submarine cables is well under
way.”
