Billy Gibson, LeonarG's manager, that the bout was off for six weeks or two months. The advance sale of tickets indicated there probably would have been a record crowd in the ball park tonight.
 Leonard over the telephone told the promoters he would meet Tcndler under exactly the same conditions as soon as his thumb is pronounced all right by his physician
 The promoters stand to lose nearly SI5,ooo, they said.
 Lew Tendler was in the midst of training activities at his quarters in De1ance, N. J., when informed of Leonard's accident
 "Well, I am frankly sorry," the challenger said. "I want to meet Benny badly. 1 know 1 can defeat him and 1 am in the condition to have done it."

ST. PAUL IS STRONG
 FOR TOMMY GIBBONS
Has Best Chance, to Make Demp-
 sey Tire Himself Out.
TitIehoIder Usually Fights With That Ferocity That Exhausts Himself and FIattens Opponent in
 Short Order.

Tommy Gibbons probably could last longer in the ring with Dempsey than any other heavyweight in the world, chirps a St. Paul writer, and it is possible that he might be able to ward off the ripping, tearing title holder until the latter exhausted him. self. Dempsey usually fights with ferocity that exhausts him as well as fiattens his opponent, and he has been called upon to go more than four or five rounds on mighty few occa- siOns
 Gibbons, in short, has a better chance to make Dempsey wear him. self down than have any of the Oth- CTS, but the point is Tommy, classy artist that he is is not a knockout fighter. There may have been many times when he won so handily that making the other fellow measure the canvas" was an unnecessarily cruel

Sport Notes

The Hudsons and the Italian American baseball teams will meet at , Beaver Pond Park on Sunday in a
 game which is attracting more than | the usual amount of attention of the fans throughout the city Both teams are evenly matched and close game is expected but for once the great national game is only a side issue as the attention of the amateurs Is cen l tered on the action that will be taken in case the two teams try their scheme for collecting money as they claim they intend to do.
 Teams playing in Beaver Pond Park have been in the habit of pass ing the hat in order to raise money 10 pay the necessary expenses for the past few weeks and everything was going along all right until someone posted Superintendent of Parks Amrhyn. He promptly issued the edict that collections in all the parks under his jurisdiction would be pro hibited.
 As the boys have all they can man age in scraping together enough to pay for the high prices of baseballs and all other athletic equipment and as no one has volunteered to take up their side of the matter they have decide dto try another stunt to get around the order issued by Amrhyn.
 The plan decided upon for Sunday Is to have members of both clubs on all the roads leading to the park wear badges so that anyone who desires may contribute whatever they please to help defray the expenses. If you ing a lift you can do that and there will be no one to stop you as the boys have been instructed that all contributions must be voluntary. If you care ot give anything 1t will be gladly received and the amount you give Is entirely up to yourself as you do not buy your ticket
 That is the main reason why the eyes Of all the amateurs of the city are focused on this game Sunday, because if this is found 10 be a viola ton of the park rules the rest of the teams are certain that they will have to give up the ghost. This has been the only way they have been able to raise enough money to play baseball this year.
 If they can't get away with this stunt Sunday all that is left for them to do is to go out and dig up major league prices to see George Weiss Indians in their nine-act comedy of bush" league baseball.
