ing further play out of the question.
At the time Leonard Beekman and
Dean Mathey were leading. having
won the first two sets at &C., 6-2.
but Lyle Z. Mahan and Samuel Hardy
were meeting with better success in the
third set, the score being 4--1 in their
favor. In an effort to finish the match
IL at all possible the men held the
courts for a long time in the rain, but
had to stop when the downpour grew
torrential.
Mathey showed the most effective ten
mis- Of the four. His driving was sharp
and under splendid control and at che
net he anticipated well and ended rally
after rally with decisive volley. Beck
man and Mathey forced the net at every
opportunity and 1t was not until the
third set that their opponents were able
to drive them back with lobs or pass
them often enough TO take the lead.
The four players may not have an
other opportunity this season TO COM
plete the match on the Field Club
courts, and with the consent of the
tournament committee may settle the
ownership of the prizes at the West Side
Tennis Club Of Forest Hills. OF which

kiIbane VS.. Frush.

Not content with making a farce Of
the Wilson Downey bout by permitting
Wilson to force his own referee into the
ring, the Cleveland Boxing Commission
has now sanctioned the contest be-
tween Johnny Kiiburn and Danny Frush,
the conditions Of which are so glaring q
violation of ali the rules and ethics or
boxing as to bring the sport into general
disrepute and scorn. Kllbane, who has
always seoffed at rules. has imposed
conditions on Frush through which the
Clevelander will get practically all the
money and will bring the Baltimore
boy into the ring under an absurd handi-
cap.
The promoters OF the affair have
guaranteed Kilbane 100000. out OF which
Kilbane will pay F'rush $500. which
will just about cotor his training ex-
penses.
Kilbane insists on Frush making the
featherweight limit OF 1875 pounds, but
imposes restriction not authorized by
any rules. The challenger must weigh
at the ringside whereas the rules or all
boxing commissions. both here and
abroad. prescribe r. NJ as the weigh
ing time.
On the other hand, Ililbane declines Ia
make any weight except what may
please him. and the title holder will
doubtless scale 10 POUNDS when he
steps into the ring.
The only redeeming feature IL that
there will be a decision on points IL the
bout lasts the stipulated twelve rounds
and II F'rush gets the referees decision
he Will be the Eew champion.
In view of the new rule OF the Boxing
Commission, placing the age limit at 3s
years. there will be much reticence In
future on the part of boxers as 10 how
many summers they have existed. Es-
peclally will boxers who have passed the
thirtleth year mark be careful in giving
information as TO their future birthday
anniversaries.
Wilson and Downey have not as yet
been rematched. 1t is hinted that Will
son fears the Ohioan might again put
him to sleep on Downey couch.
In view or the scarcity OF capable ref
erees the Boxing Commission could with
advantage give Paddy Donnelly an occar
sional assignment. Donnelly is an expe-
rienced and capable official.

Championship Battle Between
Leonard and Tender Leads
i'm Interest.
ny CHARLES l.. MATHIsoN.

The boxing programme for this week
fairly prlges with interesting events.
Quite naturally the Lecnari-Tendler
championship combat at Philadelphia
overshadows all the other glove contests
that are scheduled, and despite The fact
that the Quaker City is not so convent
entity situated for New Workers as It
might be. yet there will be a great rush
OF boxing patrons for Philadelphia next
Friday
This bout should exceed in attractive
ness any contest in which Leonard has
beer a principal since the night ac wrest-
ed the honors from Freddie Welsh
Tender may not prove TO be formi-
dabe opponent for the title holder, but
he has done more to create that impress
sion than any other lightweight Ia the
game. There Is quite general belief
that he will make 1t decidedly interest
ing for Leonard With the result that
everybody and all his friends want to
witness the encounter.
From tho viewpoint Of TIC writer
Tender Will make an interesting fight
with the champion. but the latter. with
his great experience, skill and ring craft,
will triumph.
Leonard may not stop the Phi adelphia
southpaw, but he will defeat aim IN
manner 10 leave no doubt as to the vic
tory being decisive.
