Lew Tender Tells Why He Sacrificed
 Finger For Crack At Leonard
BY LEW TENDlER a likhtWeiQht Contender

DELANCO, N. J., Aug. 1O.-I have staked all on my match with Benny Leonard August 12 at the Philly ball park.
 It's the fight I've been waiting on for two years.
 To be able to hit my best. I had my hand operated on. The first joint of my third finger on my southpaw hand has been cut off.
 The man who takes Leonard's light weight crown away from him will have to knock him out, for the cham pion is a master boxer.
 I was not matched with Leonard at the time I had the operation done. But l was thinking of him. We have been rivals so long that something like personal bitterness last sprang up between us.
 My finger was set poorly after be- ing broken several years ago.
 l couldn't close my hand tightly. fractured it every time I fought.
 Pals
 My manager, Phil Glassman, asked me to have the operation done.
 He hated to ask such a thing of me for we are more to each other than just fighter and manager We're pals
 knew it was for the best. It's all in the game.
 Unless you can close your hand tightly you can't hit your best.
 I want to be set to knock Leonard out
 There was a splintered bone in my right hand. l had it removed, too.
 These operations make the third time I've been under a surgeon s knife in the last two years.
 In 1919 I had small bones taken out Of my nose to make my breathing per feet
 Several months after that I had an abdominal operation.
 My friends said I would never be strong again. But they were wrong.
 It took me some time to hit my old stride. But Pm my old self again. Following the operations I became heavier and stronger. This was prov en by my string of knockouts early Tn 1920.
 Body Walloper
 Leonard isn't knockout-proof. No one is. He has never met a body puncher. That's my style of attack. A fighter can steel his jaw to take wallon but not the vital spots of the body. Dempsey proved this against his opponents. Tommy Gib bons is demonstrating what body puncher can do Bryan Downey hit

Grover Alexander is the flywheel of the Chicago Nationals.
 He's the big Cub of the J. Evers' attraction.
 Fans pay little attention to the standing of the team, knowing they're in the second depth, but they are posted on Big Alex and his mound doings.
 Starting with lame arm this spring he worked in only three games up to June f.
 Now his arm has regained it's cum ming and its strength of other great years, and he's out to win 30 games.

LEW TENDLER'S SOUTHPAW SHOWING THESTUB THIRD FIN GER, SACRIFICED TO PERMIT Johnny Wilson below the heart before he floored him with lick to the chin.
 A body punch hurts. When a fight CT is hurt, his chin becomes a target.
 In this match, I've got Leonard pinned down to the weight question the thing that has kept us apart.
 He can't do 135 at o'clock and be strong. That's to my advantage.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: have
been married for couple Of years.
l worry . great deal because my
husband and are both Protestants,
but Of different faiths. He Is con-
tinually making untrue statements
about my faith which hurt my feel
ings. 1t is almost more than can
bear. He wants me to join with
him. Nothing would make either
OF u any happier than to be Of the
same denomination.
l told him before We were mar
ried that I coald never be anything
but what l am and il he thought it
would cause him unhappiness. to
try to give me up. He then was not
willing to do that and now it is the
only thing that mars our happiness.
Please advise me what to do. We
have q darling boy who makes the
situation more painful to rs. l am

and enjoy them SO much.
TROUBLED.
Since your dimculty about re-
ligion is the only thing that mars
your happiness you ought to be
able to come to some sort OF an
agreement Perhaps you could
convince your husband that it is a
mistake to even bring up the sub
ject of religion. Another way
might be a compromise wherein
you attend his church with him on
one Sunday and he attends yours
the next II, however, he is in
clined to be antagonistic, scarcely
believe the latter way would work
out we'll. Your husband would only
be more resentful after a morning
at your church. In some families
where both p2<ties sincerely try to
adjust the question Of religion they
alternate churches with perfect
harmony Religion is a thing which
should not be argued.

OLDEST LOVERS IN AMERICA TELL you
HOW TO BE HAPPY THOUGH MARRIED
On. E. A. star Specially.

(N. Z. 4. STAR Specially.
New York-The oldest lovers in
the world are Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Dick Of New York.
They have been married Is years.
They attribute their long lives
to perfect love and perfect happi-
ness.
In the spring, you know, young
folks fancies lightly turn to
thoughts Of love, and for the sake
Of the Easter brides and bride
grooms, the Dicks consented to
tell the secret Of how to be happy
though married.
First OF all. you must forget
there u such . thing as difference
Of opinion" said Jacob.
Exactly 30, said Sarah. "Opin-
ion is character and you oughtn't
to try to change the opinion of the
one you love any more than you
should try to change his charac-
ter"
Quite right" said Jacob. my
wife and 1 have never quarreled
because neither Of US pressed an
issue when it seemed as if We
might disagree"
Entirely correct" said Sarah.
I'VE left our troubles to time. Time
you know. settles all differences. -
Agreed" said Jacob. Nova
days there's too much talk of free
love. In fact, there's too much
talk"
That's fact" said Sarah. "Peo-
pie think they have to think, and
then they have to talk about what
they think. That makes all the
trouble"
"The right idea" said Jacob.

the binders. Then you'll pull
straight ahead"
And pull together" said Sarah.
''Too many young couples lives
are spoiled because they want diff
ferent joys-and different sor-
rows"
Correct, said Jacob. "Too
many young people have too much
leisure. Then they run around and
get into trouble"
VERY true" said Sarah. 1.-THE
wives should stick to their knit
ting"
You're right" said Jacob. "And
