NewTork, Aug. 29. Leach Cross, w uncito's greatest exponent la the mitt wielding- came, la one ml. In the flrat tHght of UghtwlthU. The Qothamlte forced him way to recog-nltlon again pr his dacisi-s defeat of Joae Rivera, ua paeudo JTtxlcan. in their t ourtb meeting a short whlla ago. Cross' .took in the boxln market h& fluctuated mora than that of any other fishier. One year Croaa leads Ms constituents to believe that he ts all through as a ringmta; that bo has reached tha tether of bis ring- useful neas. Tha next year ha comes through with a brand of fighting that sends his follower Into ecstacles and has them proclaiming him the greatest of living lightweights. Leachie was believed to be "done" as a capable performer as far back as June, 190, when ha succumbed to Dick Hyland in 41 gruelling rounds. This was Leachie's first offense In deceiving the boxing populace. Pre vious to that grind he had defeated some or the best 13S pounders In the business, and had given the rreat Packey McFarland a couple of hard fights over six and ten rounds. Xvsacn Z.xired to Coast. Then a Ions' dlstanc match with Hyland was broached, and Cross, his eyes blinded by the promise of big money, was lured to the coast. He got as much as 1400 for- tugging through 41 rounds under a broiling sun. lie swore on nigh that he would never again fight Non the Pacific Hut time (and money) changes the deepest set ideas of any man, as will be seen forthwith. Cross straggled home east wltb the avowed Intention of never donning the gloves again. But the call of the game was too strong for him. and two months later he was at It again, abandoning his profession of molar extracting for the more remunerative calling of boxing. He fared' successfully in bis first few fights upon his return to the ling, and decided to stick to it for all he could get out of it. He cleaned the lightweight field thoroughly during the next three years. He eliminated many contonders for championship honors, while he himself made no pretensions to the crown. Then came the east aider's second setback. In September of 1912, Leachle fought so poorly against Jimmy Duffy, of Buffalo,, that he was declared the loser for his unfair tactics. The following month he suf fered another reversal. Jack Brltton being his conqueror. Then followed two great but losing battles against Jose Rivers. Cross was surely through was the universal opinion. Then Leachie became vagrant to his ' vow. He shook the dust of New Tork end once again tempted fate, as it is tempted on the coast. He hiked to Vernon, and convinced the Callfor nian that he was a fighter after all. "Bud" Anderson, a sensational new comer, was selected as his opponent, 12 rounds. He then outpointed Matty 12 rounds. He then optpointed Matty Baldwin in 20 and wnipped Frank Barrleau up in Vancouver In a no de cision fight. Leach was coming back again. He returned home again and was matched to fight 10 rounds with Champion Ritchie In Madison Square Garden. Cross was now so confident In his prowess . that he took on Young Brown, a tough customer, as a work out, and knocked out Ills compatriot In five rounds. - Then came the bout with Ritchie. Suffice It to say or let Willie Ritchie himself say it- Cross came within a balrsbreadth of winning the world's championship. Ritchie admits that be never was hit such a powerful blow as Cross delivered on his person in that second round. Cross, the veteran, the ring general, the shrewdest fight er in the game, lost Ms poise when a world's title and half a million dollars were In bis grasp. He waited too long before trying to deliver the decisive blow. Ritchie had recuperat ed by the time Leach was ready to send it over, and the greatest chance of Cross' career was gone. Back on Coast Again. Less than three weeks later Cross was on the Coast again, and for the third tlmee lost to Jo Rivers, bis Nemesis, this time in 20 rounds. Was Leach going back again? He put up a miserable exhibition against the Spaniard, yt he insisted that he was Rivers' superior. With this goal In view a victory over Kivers ru wuueuiawi k . about accomplishing It He realised bis ambition the other day, and now has bis tntnd set on bigger game the chnmrjlonshin of America. Cross -has - temporarily given up hopes of bat tling Freddie Welsh for the world's honors en account of the European -tangle, vui no is not u me trail oi ' Willie Ritchie for a match with the UshtwelKht championship of these United States at stake. Ritchie, al ' though shorn of his world's title, still retains the American supremacy, and will defend It against all comers, be ginning a month hence.

Between 10 and 15 huskies of last year's eleven will answer the call and get In line for suits, shoes, stockings, pads and tape. A number of tba club's tecond team players and some new gridironers are also expected to be on nana. Practice will b held every Sunday morning during September and after that Captain Convili will ask the play era to report for practice on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, in addition to the Sunday morning practice. The prospects for a winning' team at the dub this season are as bright as In the past seasons. jCaptain Con vili, who was recently named superln tendent of parks, will give as much time as possible to the game, but it i likely that some other player will be elected to handle the team In case be is unable to be on hand. Pete Rodes, the sensational quarter back of last season's team, will arrive In Portland during the early part of next month. Francis and Keck, who played the halfback positions last sea son, will report Sunday, and "Truck etrlebig. Smith, Rodgers, ' Cherry, Wells, Rupert, Philbrook and HeUel will all be on the job again. Multnomah will close its season this year with the Thanksgiving, day game with the University of Oregon. In past seasons the club has always ar ranged for Christmas and New Years games for the public, but on account of the Door attendance during the last two years, no fames will be sched uled. Th "Winced M" team has also cancellerl its games with the Univer sity of Oregon at Eugene and with the Oregon Agricultural college - at Corvallia. Manager Pratt made this statement last week. On out of town trips the club has never been able to muster its strongest players, and It Is for this reason that the games hav been called off. The pregon Agricultural college Is scheduled to play here during October and a contest will likely be arranged with the Willamette university. A game with either Pullman, Whitman or Idaho is also probable, and efforts will be made to have the University of Washington team play with the clubmen.
