NEW YORK, July 27.--Benny
Leonard and Lew Tender, arch
rivals of the lightweight division,
win meet tonight in the same
ring, at Jersey City, where
Georges Carpenter dozed peace
fully in the resin a bit more than
one year ago. The bout is sched-
uled to 90 twelve no-decision
rounds, and only by d knockout
or a foul may an official verdict
be reached.
Look for Limit Fight.
II both men are on their feet at
the end of the twelfth round, the
lightweight championship will be re.
tained by Leonard, even though he
runs a bad second in the unofficial
returns. 1t is more than possible
that the bout will 60 the limit.
The rival craniums are too hard
and the distance too short to make a
knockout seem at all likely. Tendl
never has taken the long count IN
nine years of baking, while Leonar&
has suffered that ignominy but twice,
and then when he was only a pre-
liminary boy. II takes uncommon
sharpshooting to reach any boxers
vital spot, and where Leonard IL
clever, Tender is tough.
However, Leonard has been at
some pains to state, with q care
free smile, that Tenders a fistic
guffaw. He has predicted almost
daily that he will goal the challenger
within seven rounds. Benny says
he will do this by beating him to The
punch. his theory being that
straight right will land before a low
hook to the body anytime you start
them together.
Called Grudge Fight.
The affair is supposed to be one
Of those "grudge" fights, because
Leonard has a grievance. About
a year ago Leonard and Tender
were to fight in Philadelphia, but
day or so before the bout Leo
nard injured his hand and was
somewhat nonplussed and ,chagrined
when Tender Gained his s5, 900
forfeit. He thereupon vowed eter-
nal vendetta.
The matter Of weight and for.
felt will come up again this after.
noon. The men are to weigh in at
1876 pounds before the boxing com.
mission. and this time Leonard will
lose $4,000 II he doesn't make the
poundage.
Tender told the writer some
days ago that II the champion Is
an ounce over the required weight,
he will claim the forfeit no quicker
than the ordinary man removes the
seat of his trousers from a hot
stove.
That Leonard will, not find weight.

by his drawn appearance as he

CALLS ON GAMBLER
FOR BIG FEE

Mrs. Byfield's stateroom aboard the
steamship Berengaria, July Is, called
Mr.. Gambler on the telephone and de-
inanded $4,000 fee for his services
in the case, according to a statement
from Mr.. Gambler published in late
edition of the Atlanta Journal today.
The letter purported to withdraw
charges made against Mr.. Gambler by
Mr.. Byfield in connection with the
incident in the state room.
Reuben R. Arnold, chief counsel for
Gambler in his suit to prevent Byfeld
from realizing on the $20,5OO note
given him and in his defense against
Mr.. Byfeld's 100000 damage suit,
asserted that the purported demand
would be investigated and that should
Dreyer be summoned to Atlanta as a
witness in the suit steps might be
taken regarding it.
"Dreyer knew nothing whatever
about the incident between Byfield
and myself" said a statement issued
by the Atlanta banker, "as he was
not there, and neither heard nor saw
any part of it.
"Dreyer was introduced to me as
his friend by one of the three gam
blers mentioned in my petition, who
frequented the ship. He went with
the party to Paris and made himself
generally officious, and was the wit
ness to Byfield's statement. Dreyer
claimed to be a lawyer and made de-
,nand on me of $1,000 before leaving
Paris, which I did not pay.
"Drcyer called me over the tele-
phone in Atlanta yesterday, and de-
n,anded to know whether I was going
to pay hin. I told him 1 owed him
nothing and agreed TO pay him moth
ing. He then said he was going to

Mrs. Byfield, who asserted in her
damage suit that she was made seri-
ously ill by an alleged attack by Can
dler, was reported to be somewhat i'm
