Thirty rounds of boxing will usher the 1926 27 boxing sca.son into Klamath Falls two weeks from Saturday night at the Scandinavian hall, according to the complete card, ar ranged -yesterday and announced by Promoter Earl Erown last night. After' niui-li "Telegraphic bartering' with a gcntTf)a'med who boxed here last year, but who has been summering in the Nevada-Arizona country, the battling Swede has finally decided to take on Earl Ritchie, a local boy, in the headliner, a 10-roiiml affair. Olson wired Brown yesterday that he would lie here bright and early Monday to start train ing. Olson has been in trim since he left here, having Jought no less than a dozen bouts in tho southeasterly direction, and it should lake little training to put him in the proper fettle for the pro-Labor day scrap here. He may be seen with others on the card, in daily workouts from now on.

(United News) While the Na tional league pc.ied in a state of suspended animation, the con testants for the American league pennant went out and lost a ball game apiece Friday and ended the day in the same rel ative position, the .Senators one full game in front of the Athletics. ' Earl Whitehill, a somewhat runty gent for a pitcher, per formed one of the prodigies of the season in defeating, the Senators in Detroit. He pitched 11 innings and finally shut th4m out 1 to 0, another low score, which tends to confirm the suspicion that the major leagues have suddenly revised the ball- once more with the object of taming the critter. Stan Coveleskie and "Firpo" Marberry pitched for Washington. There was fairly liberal hitting from both sides considering the total of 19 blows. . ' i . 1 : The Athletics, who seem to have come apart after the tension of set ting the pace during a long stretch ot the season, took a pasting from the White Sox. 8 to 2. and their los ing streak is now long enough to braid. The Browns inflicted the 81st drubbing ot the season on the Bos ton Red Sox. who are contenders for the booby prise of the year for all leagues. The score was 9 to 7. ' To appreciate how terrible the Red Sox are, even with their legacy of world series traditions and all such bosh as that. It Is only necessary to compare them with the Braves, Who hail from the same town, and oc cupy corresponding positions, at the bottom. In the National league. The Braves hare won 17 same more than the Red'sox and have lost 14 games fewer. , 1 .

' , DECIDES TO GET NEW YORK, Aug. 21 (United News) Benny Leon rd, lightweight champion of the world, who announced his retirement from the ring lastJ year in a mammy composition of deathless prose, has finally gained control over the tender emotion of filial love, and will come back for more fights and more money. Billy Gibson, Leonard's man ager, made the announcement Frdiay afternoon, but neither he nor Leonard offered to ex plain how. Benjamin recon ciled this course with the tear ful communique in which he said he was quitting the ring for the sake of his dear old mother. Leonard was in the dramatic profession at that time, adorning the vaudeville stage, and the announcement lent considerable publicity to his act, a number in which he took occasion to Rdvise all young men to love their mothers.
