games were fought out in sharp, de-

that cut the side lines or dropped short
over the net, in fore-court.
Many times the Philadelphian fooled
the New York schoolboy by thus sud

drlves through deep court with these
tricky shots that barely cleared the
barrier. Occasionally he lobbed with
great skill over Richardss head as the
youth began rush to the net position.

'Tendler and Yelling i'm Battle
To-nig Int at Newark Club
By w. Q. Mcclellan

Lew Tender and Joseph yelling,
the retired mariner, will meet at the
Newark Sportsmen's Club tonight to
decide which ought to meet Benny
Leonard for the lightweight champion
ship of the world. After the pair
have decided which would like the
chance Benjamin probably will pick
his own victim
The press agent and genuine sources
of information indicate that a healthy
crowd will brave the dangers of the
Hudson and the tubes to be on deck,
%hlle an equally enthusiastic mob will
fit in from Philadelphia. Tender
seems to be carrying most of the
Philadelphia dough. He boxed with
Benny Leonard once and still lives
to tell the tale. This feat is con-
sidcred little less than marvellous in
the Quaker hangout.
yelling expects to sink the good
ship Tender early in the evening with
a shot in the PROV. Tender is equally
defiant in the verbiage of the lands
men. The debate may wax interesting.
1t seems that San Francisco is de-
handing an encore of the Leonard
Ritchie fight. Benjamin has declared
again unless he can have him for ten
rounds or better. The champion is
bit peeved about the unkind things
that are being said about him in San
Francisco. He resents the statement
that he has not a little something on
Cans.
But the house was large and the
second house may be larger, so Ben
Jamln will probably swallow his pride
without choking and the bout will be
on again. Ritchie and Leonard prob
ably will go on the road together after
that and box as many bouts as Lewis
to the long list of brother acts in
boxing.
Silvey Burns wants employment for
Frank Carbone, middleweight boxer,
who has just been released from the
United States army.
Hes real fighter" declares Burns
passionately. "He went down to the
border and he whipped Villa. Then
he went to France and everybody
knows what happened. Hindenberg
laid down and the Kaiser quit cold.
That's the kind of fighter that Frank
Carbone Is. None Of these here civil
ian midlleweights want to meet him,
but | thought that maybe you could
gAame 'em into signing up. Because
Carbone wasn't able to save much on
thirty bucks a month and he needs
some sugar. See what you can do"
Tex Richard is said to be wavering
between Wisconsin and Philadelphia
as site for the Willard Dempsey bat
tie. Next week he probably will be
undecided between Odessa and At
ghanistan. There will be other things
to worry about next July The fight
will not be the only disaster scheduled
for the early part of that month.
