star continued to shine. his pockets were
Duisine with the revenue derived from
tne shore encounter, and altogether
Honest Phil was satisfied with himself
and his fighter. -
Naturally, Glassman doesn't take
much credit for the showing of his boy
netner does any general for the work of
his army. But Phil always is ready
10 say good word about Tender, and
Lewis showing against Callahan didn't
serve to make Phil less enthusiastic.
Lew at Riverside
Sent Lew down into old Jersey, where

exploded Phil. ~ have him at River
side. and that sure is one fine place to
train. Away from the city and every
thing the boy won't have nothing to
do but train. Lew Is out to make It
unhealthy for this tough feller Cline,
and when Lew sets out to hurt any guy,
then beware of Lew"
Cline is one Of the few boys who ever
rocked Leonard. and those who wit
messed that engagement at the Olympia
last December, when Cline had Benny
wabbling, will not overlook his fighting
qualities. He is dangerous all the time
and one of the aggressive type that al
| ways insures real battle.
| Irish Patsy Is to do his training at
Reddy Wigmore's health resort in South
Philadelphia, where he will be within q
| short distance Of the battle-ground. Cline
met Tender last April, and in that clash
learned Tender wasn't an overrated
fighter. judging from the frequency of
the rapid-fre exchanges. 1t was a great
fight. and now both boys are out to do
better in the coming clash.
Rains Sowe Worker
Tender and Cline will be the head
liners at the all-star show arranged by
Leon Rains fer Shibe Park on the night
of July 16. Promoter Rains devoted
six hard weeks Of his time to land the
signatures of the six boys who are to
wired from New York last Tuesday that
the big show was on he was a happy,
satisfied promoter.
Promoter Leon brought back the sig
natures Of the combatants as well as
the $500 from each man for weight and
appearance. This money now Is in the
hands Of Harry Edwards, president Of
the Olympia A. A. President Edwards
has promoted many big shows In his
time, but he admits the card arranged
for next Tuesday night brings together
Just about the best of the present-day
fistic talent.
This show is one that appeals" said
Mr.. Edwards 1T has all the necessary
class and will bring together some high.
class boys. They are we'll matched and
should put up some great scraps"
Callahan Improved
Frankie Callahan isn't slipping. He
convinced the large gathering at the
! shore that he has lost none Of bis ag'
gressiveness or slugging powers. George

down the opposition regularly in Balti'

Their last fight at the Olympia was a
warm one
Greb Is one of the huskiest of the
actors in the middleweight division. He
has taken on the clever boys as well
as the sluggers and successfully engaged
both. Soldier Bartfield, one of those
slam-bang, tsaring-in. rushing gladia'
tors. will be his opponent. Bartfielt
also has engaged the clever ones with
success. Both boys have given battle
to Mike Gibbons and gone the required
distance. This should be another o.
those hurricane encounters.
When the wind-up goes on at thu
Cambria open-air club on Friday night
it will be a battle of managerial wits
as much as the fighting prowess of the
