LOADMAN MEETS WAGNER
By LOUIS II. JAFFE

October 81 IS the next date for Tex
Richards second match Of his light
weight elimination tournament which
he believes will bring out the most logi-
cal contender for Benny LcOnard's dia-
dem. One Of the principals in this I'M
portant fistic fracas will be Lew
Tender. Philadelphia representative
1876 FOUNDER for q crack at the light
weight title. Opposed to the Quaker
City southpaw will be Rocky Kansas
the rough rugged and ready gloveman
OF Buffalo. y. y.
Richards first bout in his climina-
ton idea was held last week when the
Judges and referee decided. on draw
verdict uf the set-tO between Willie
Jackson and Pete Hartley. Despite the
decision Of those officials IT was nj e.
most unanimous among the rlnSSlderS
that Jackson was a winner over the sup
posedly Durable DanC. 1t il probable
that the victor of the Kansas Tender
match will meet Jackson. after which
such boxers as Johnny Dundee. Sailor
Friedman, Joe Walling, Pinky and
Richie Mitrchell, Charley White and
several others, will be entered in the
elimination.
