Offers Leonard $4,000
to Meet Len Tender
Manager Phil Glassman Demands That Lightweight Cham
pon Should Make 1873 Pounds and ProDe Right to Title

Strenuous efforts are be-
ing made by Phil Glassman,
manager of Lew Tender,
p h i d elphia's sensational
lightweight, to force Benny
Leonard, lightweight cham
pion of the world in the ring
with Tender at the weight
limit, 1873 pounds ringside, in
the arena of the Olympia A.
c. in Philadelphia. Last
Monday night and later at
Harry Edwards place-it be-
ing the headquarters of the
Olympia, and headquarters of
the leading lights of fistians,
Billy Gibson, manager of
Leonard was offered $4,000
if he would box Lew at one
of the open air shows in Shibe
Park, just six rounds. But
the willy Gibson would give
Glassman no definite answer.
Glassman told Gibson:
Bill, you know Benny has
outgrown the lightweight
limit; why don't he step into
the welterweight class, 142
pounds, if he can't get down
to lightweight and give real
lightweights a chance to bat
tie it out? Then l will claim
the title for Lew and post
$4,000 to meet any one in
the world who can make the
weight, and he won't haggle
very long over it either"
This is the way things
stand in the big cities of
sport, New York and Phila-
dclphia, regarding the re-
spective abilities of Benny
Leonard. the champion, and
Lew Tender, the youth who
is ready to prove he is the
champions master at the real
weight, and who is booked to
fight ten rounds Saturday
night, May II, at Chestnut
Street Hall, before the Olym-
pic A. c. with Allentown
Dundee. Unlike Leonard, the
latter was ready to meet and
swap punches with the Won
.derful Tender, and as Dun
dee has yet to taste the
pangs of defeat, there is no
telling what surprise is in
store for the speedy Quaker.
Never in the history of
boxing in this city, have the
fans had an opportunity to

rallow city employees to finish working
lon the diamond at Nineteenth and
Greenwood streets, where srandstands
and a backstop are being constructed.
When completed this will be one of the
smartest dossiest diamonds in the city,
due to city employees giving it scientific
treatment.
The diamond at Twehty-frst street
could have been used to play on this
week, but on account of too many ruts

of it,

Little magpies,'' said Mother
Maggie. '.you are being very absurd.
You are trying to talk in a very fine
and fancy way, but you aren't. And
just because the wind busters and
blows because 1t is its nature to blow,
causes you to be cross and Sco1d, and
I'm cross and I scold. And Daddy
Maggie scolds and is cross. But the
wind is quite different. The wind
blows because it is its nature to blow,
just it is our nature to scold.
"You know how we love to make a
fuss. We like people to notice us. 1t
isn't that we feel so cross, we simply
like to talk and chatter and make lot

boughs of trees If we want chairs and

make fun OF people. We initiate the
way they talk and the way they whis-

feel angry. No, We actually enjoy be-

birds, very rare. Most creatures who
are cross are unhappy themselves and
make those around them unhappy
I'VE are different. We love to be
cross. 1t makes us have a good time.
Others think we're funny-pretty rude,
but mighty funny.
And we steal; oh, how we steal
always ready for mischief"
"Ah, Mother Maggie, you're a nice
mother You don't tell US to be good
little magpies; you tell us to be
naughty and rude and have a good
time
Its not the way mothers usually
talk to their children and perhaps it is
just WE'LL said Mother Maggie,
for 1 don't believe there are many
creatures who can be rude and funny
and not be mean and disliked-
