knockout artist!
The pale, slender ring warrior, car
rying deadly wallop in his menacing
left and damaging punch in his ever
ready right, turned in his greatest ring
triumph when he ended the champion
ship aspirations of George CLANCY, cele-
brated k. o. king of Baltimore, in the
main bout at the all-star show at the
Shibe Park open air arena last night.
More than eight thousand interested
fans saw the slashing Lew Tender take
all the fight out of George CLANCY in
exactly one minute and twelve seconds
of action by Joe Cervine's stop watch.
Frank Poth, a Chaney backer, was
shell shocked.
There was no question about the out
come of this battle. One left hook to
the chin and Clancy fell fat upon his
back. With body motionless, eyes wide
open but sightless, the fallen Balti-
morean heard no count, made not the
slightest effort to arise when the decid-
ing ten was counted, and helplessly was
carried to his corner.
Out One Minute
Chaney was out for fully one minute
After plenty of water had been sprinkled
over him and smelling salts had been
applied, CLANCY, still dazed, gazed
sleepily about him.
Sam, where're you taking me?'
asked Clancy of Sammy Harris, one
of his advisers and the former manager
of Kid Williams. .
Kid Williams, the former bantam
king, who was only few feet away,
was dazed.
"This is the third time that George
has taken the count. The end of a
great fighter" said Williams, 81

Then came Kilbane with his knockout
win and now follows this disaster"
Reception for Tender
Tender never was rendered such a
reception. Long before the ten count was
finished, boo boo,' a great friend OF
Tender, had clambered through the
ropes. He was followed an instant
later by Schoodles, the unanimous Sec
ond and Lewis trainer.
The pair lifted the evenings hero
upon their shoulders and, aided by many
willing hands, carried Lew to his dress
ing room. A cheering mob trailed the
winner to his quarters under the stands
Phil Glassman, promoter of the
show and manager of Tender, forgot
all about the receipts and the crowd
He was interested only in Tender.
"Well, I've the next lightweight

This is about the truth. Tendle
