Meet Winner of the Tender
Friedman Combat.
ny CHARLES #. MATHIsoN.

Tex Rickard is anxious to stage a
championship bout between Leonard
and the winner OF Fridays Tender
Friedman bout as soon as the former
says the word. He stands ready to
make the titleholder a reasonable offer
but he can't afford to give him the
| house. He insists Leonard should be
made to defend his laurels to decision
In New York State for the sake OF the
game II nothing else
Rickard believes Tender will make
Benny step fast, and also likes Fried
mans chances.
Il believe 1 clinched the most impor-
tant elimination lightweight match ,,
said Richard yesterday. II imagine
Benny Leonard should be made to box
either man. because the sporting public
knows that Tender can give him a
fight, and from all accounts Friedman,
who made him 80 at top speed recently
In Phiily. stands a good chance. There
snould be more competition In this divi-
sion. with the champion giving the high
est rated contender a chance at his
title" -
FRIDAY nights meeting will be the
fourth between Tender and Friedman
In the last ten months. They fought
ten rounds in Milwaukee. on which oc-
casion the newspaper men picked Fried
man as the winner. and they fought two
eight round bouts In Philly. Again
Friedman was returned victorious. Dis
satisfied with his showings, Tenders
manager came to New York and con-
suited Richard on getting a match with
the sailor. Satisfied that Friedman had
given Leonard good battle Rickard
said he was willing to put it on.

Considering the thing purely in its
pugilistic aspects. Dempsey won on
merit. because he was bigger and
stronger, because he had more endur-

he was almost as fast on his feet.
