Willing to Meet Tender at

Rounds to Decision in
Connecticut
LAUDED BY KILBANE
BY JAMES S. CAROLAN

ny JAMES -. CAhOLAN
DENNY LEONARD is ready to de.
fend his title. He has laid down
bis terms and now awaits replies from
prospective challengers.
There is only one real challenger.
That is Lew Tender, the clever south
paw of this city.
LeOnard's terms to Tender are 1876
pounds at 2 o'clock In the afternoon,
the battle to be a fifteen round affair
to q decision. must be staged In Con.
necticut. neutral state, with Tender
to receive a guarantee Of $4,000.
This is the same weight at which
Welsh won the title from Ritchie, and
as Leonard defeated Welsh for the
crown he plans to impose the same
terms on aspirants.
Leonard, accompanied by his man
ager, Billy Gibson, and his trainer.
George Engel. made a special visit to
this city last night. The champion
was here in the role of president Of
the Pine Street Debating Society
which held its monthly meeting at the
Hotel Bingham.

Billy Gibson. Leonard's manager.
made the following statement to the
fifty members present:
Leonard is ready to defend his title.
He is the champion and retains the
right to dictate the terms. We are
going to be fair; we are willing to
give every one chance. When we
ask Tender to make 135 pounds at
o'clock, it looks to me to be square
enough.
''In the first place. who ever heard
of 1881 pound champion? Nelson
and Wolgast fought at that weight
because they were little fellows. Willie
Ritchie had to make that weight to
get his match with Wolgast. But it
was noticed that when Ritchie, big
fellow. was champion. he proceeded to
lift the limit to 135 pounds.
Leonard is going to dictate. lie
allowed Welsh to state the terms and
he was only too glad to get the chance,
Benny was given $500 to fight Welsh
1t cost him 5000 to train for the bat
tie.
Purse for Ritchie
when Richie fought Welsh he was
given purse of 500. 800. 1t cost
Walsh a lot of money just to get {
chance at the crown. 1t proved event
ually to be good investment fol

THE situation in this particular Is
very much akin to that of the Belgian
Relief Commission, through which the
allied Governments did not make a rec

THE second is that there shall be
complete justice in distribution to all
classes regardless of all distinctions. and
tie guarantees OF n strong neutral CON-
mission that this will be the case.
THE third Is that the Bolshevik
are to keep themselves within a circum

The primary reasons for this action
are purely Humanitarian. Hundreds OF
