would have to oppose n another,
each being able to maintain his win

Britton was sought by both lads.
Walker was the lucky one to draw
the champion first.
With Walker matched and his big
chance at hand, Ward lent his aid TO
conditioning him for the big bout of
his career. 1t was while in the
training camp that the break came.
Friends of Ward urged him to with
draw from the camp as he was be
ing made look cheap" as one of
them APPLY put it.. Newspaper refer
nee to Ward as just a sparring
partner hurt him to the quick and
he withdrew from the Walker camp.
Then talk of him fighting Walker
went the rounds. the whole affair
coming to a head when Ward enter
ed the ring the night of the Britton-
Walker bout and challenged the

LEONARD HARD At WORK
FOR BOUT WITH Tender
BY B. Link

Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion. has been in strict training in
New York for three days, after put
ting in a week of preliminary work
at Saranac Lake, N. Y, for his
scheduled eight-round bout with Lew
Tender. Philadelphia's lightweight
ace, at the Phillies' ball park on
Friday night. August IL. This is
the second time in his successful
career that the title-holder has been
matched with a real contender for
his crown.
The first time was when Johnny
Kilbane stepped out of his class and
challenged Leonard for his title.
This was in 1917. Johnny did well
in his training camp bouts. but when
he met the lightweight champion II
was something else again. Y The
featherweight king was rocked and
socked so hard that a towel was
thrown into the ring as a signal OF
defeat in the third round.
Since that time Leonard has been
a mighty busy young mittman. but
the lightweight crop has been medi'
ocre and his work has been easy
Only one man could be considered
as Benny's most dangerous foe and
that puncher is Tender, he of The
terrific southpaw slam. Lew has
cleaned up everything in his. division
walloped the same me that Leonard
has defeated and virtually has forced
the champion to give him a chance
for the title.
Lew is not only a terrific puncher,
he is clever as well, has had a lot
of experience, Is just as foxy as
Leonard, and has a world of con-
fidence In his ability. He is the only
lightweight who can give Leonard
a battle and for that reason Benny
is training as he has not trained since
the Kiibane bout.

Note to Babe

Babe Ruth is a big guy. but he
has never hit four homers in one
game.
Bobby Lowe. Perry Werden and
Ed Delehanty all have.
And Bambino with all his terrific
slugging has never bounced out
enough hits to total 407 bases for
a season. Tip O'Neil back in 1887
accomplished this feat.
George Sisler of the Browns came
the nearest to O'Neil's mark in 1920
when he hit for a total of 399 bases.
There is no rest for a super. He
no sooner cracks one record than
all the high spots of history are
trotted out for him to blaze away
at. And he's expected to hurdle
them or fall a shadow short of great
ness.

the best ball of the year while Man
ager Miller Higgins was i'll and alb

While it is unkind to say hat a
manager is a handicap to a ball club,
man. Yank fans believe it is true.
There is something radically wrong
with the Yanks. They have the
power. the pitchers and a strong de-
Tense. Yet they lack the spirit of a
winner.
Players say it's because they don't
believe in Higgins and his peculiar
baseball strategy.
