Ring matches have been scheduled
weekly, without let-up. and there
nrobably Is no city in the country where
sove competition has been promoted
40 consistently.
Approximately 10 shows have been
mt on here during the year, which
means that fstic spectators at local
clubs have witnessed about 100 mitt-
men in action at different times, while
something like 800 rounds Of punches
we're crowded into $50 bouts-more or
less--in the course Of the season.

Tendler Local Star
Going into the new year as the best
boxer in this city and the most popular
is Lew Tender, the southpaw star.
he has been q leading boxer in this
country for several years and one of
the most serious contcnders for the
lightweight championship. Despite the
fact that Tender underwent several
operations during the year, Lew still
retains his brilliant ability. and critics
throughout the county pick him as
the stellar 1885, pound st-2 o clock tisti
cuffian in the world-next to the cham
pion, Benny Leonard.
Tender was separated from some
Of his prestige when he got the wrong
end OF fifteen round decision in bout
with Rocky Kansas. of Buffalo. in
New York. However. the 10000 per
aons who saw that contest believed that
tho better man did not win. It was

winner Of Tender. and hooked up Lew
with Sailor Freedman. of Chicago. The
