Wood) Benny Leonard, retired king of tb» lightweights, at the Plattsburg Athletic Club last night fought a six round exhibition with Mickey Ashline, prids of Plattsburgh. The bout was well worth seeing despite the fact It was an exhibi- tion. Leonard and Ashline were in fine shape for the encounter and neither was marred much at the end, although the rounds were fast and furious, Mickey was good but lieonard waa better, having more science, heavier punchingr ability and more weight The first two rounds were about even as well as the fourth. The third, fifth and sixth rounds were conceded to the ex-champ. Ashline did his ehare of the aggre- siveness although lieonard was. by no means a defensive fighter. He concentrated his blows to Mickey's face, catching the local pugilist of- ten on the nose. Leonard's longer reach caused Ashline considerable trouble. The crowd seemed well satisfied with the scrap and gave bath fighters a big hand. It was rough- ly estimated that the gate receipts totaled approximately g. thousand dollars. Tommy Clairmont of Burlington refereed the main bout and the preliminaries, Ted Lewis of Ne-rt York waa ia Benny's corner while Ernest Bushey and "Solly" Solda- to, both of Plattsburgh, were in Ashllne's corner. The fistic encounter will long be remembered In Plattsburgh and im. mediate vicinity as it is the first time a, world's champion boxer has ever displayed his wares here. Leonard gava the impression that he had much moire ability than dis- played end there; is little doubt but that he constitutes a serious threat to the leading contenders for the lightweight crown. Benny paid a compliment to Ash- line following the bout by stating that Mickey was one of the best m his class la Northern New York. •'He is a. tough baby and mighty clever," the ex-ehamp declared. "Pights like this one helps me on my comeback trail and with a few more scraps I'll be able to get a crack at the big boys," Benny said. The boxer and his party return- ed to the Cumberland hotel imme- diately after the bout where they remained overnight. They leave today for Burlington where Leon- ard tackles Kid Casper Friday night. , The semi-final was between Mic- k e y TWTUIams of Burlington and Marty Moskowitz of .Plattsburgh. Williams "weighed 139 and his op- ponent 188. After six rounds of swift action the fight was'declared a draw. Williams did considerable clowning, Moskowitz appeared to be In old time form and put np a fast, hard battle. The other semi-final was also de- clared a draw, Sid Cook of Platts- burgh being unable to down Ernie Jarvis of Burlington. Both weigh, ed 125, were fast on their feet and showed & willingness to tear into each other. Brief as it was, the encounter between Julius Laroe, former Platts- burgh wrestler, and "Red Benson" Plattsburgh Barracks, was the most .INTERSECTIONAL Home 1930 T«&m Opponents Scores Army vs."Louisiana ........... £>NP Brown vs. Ohio Wesleyan ......
