White, "Irish" Patsy Clime or Willie Jackson as the three pro spective opponents for Leonard. It now seems to be up to Leonard to name which one he will meet. Real Fight When Bold Bendigo Won From Tom Paddock Bold Bendigo, the great English champion of the ring, fought his last fight when he was forty years old, his opponent being Tom Paddock of Redditch, a man of twenty-seven. The fight was staged at Mildenhall and 'was carried on 'with extraordin- dry ferocity. Mhe men became go en- raged during the bout that there was great difficulty in keeping them to the rules.

TY COBB EARNS ' HIS BIG SALARY, Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the highest salaried baseball star in the profession. Cobb is draw- ing $20,000 a year from the Detroit Club, and he is earning the money. Not only is he the best player in the game, but also he is drawing large crowds wherever the Detroits appear.

"Bendigo fell to the ground in a sitting posture and Pad- dock struck him two deliberate blows on the head while in that attitude. The foul 'was so palpable that the referee awarded the decision to Ben- digo without hesitation. Then Paddock mad with rage and quite losing his head with passion, did a most unheard of thing.
