Salem Visitor Knows film
"I'm glad to hear oi Leonard's
showing." If the pleased opinion
of L. Meltsner of New York City,
who called Saturday night at The
Statesman office to learn of the
verdict.
"'Benny is as fine a lad as ever
went into the ring." continued the
New Yorker. "He doesn t go Tbe
pace of most of the boxers; be Is
a gentleman, and a good friend
and a capable business man, be
sides being as fine a son and
brother as anybody's mother or
sisters ever had. You notice in
the news reports that they're with
him wherever he goes. He's nev-
r ad but one manager Billy
Jibson. He isn't the kind to
Itiariel and outrage the friends
vho have been with him when ht
wasn't so prosperous.
Gibson Picks Winner
"Gibson saw him in a little
preliminary fight, a 'dub' affair,
in New York. He picked him. as
winner, and took him under hit
are. He has managed his af
airs weil and Leonard has been
honest with him. They get long
famously so differently from
most of the rowdy boxers and
n angers.
"Leonard has his gymnasium
where he does all his city train
ing and exercising, over my
jrother's stoie in New York City
ind we know him as one of the
inest lad3 anywhere. I'm glad
o see him win."
