Leonard Rules To Win
From Challenger
In Biz Clash

NEW YORK, July 26.-Benny
Leonard is a 8 to / favorite over
Lew Tender, his challenger, on
the eve Of their twelve-round
contest.
Phil Glassman. manager of
Tender, has decided to request
Referee Harry Ertle to permit
his man to hit as long as both
hands are free. This is an usual
request in view of the fact that
the international boxing code
permits a fighter to hit as long
as he himself is not holding. He,
however, must break at the order
of the referee,

About Fifty Pounds Un-

DENNIE LEONARD is down
to exact weight like lamb

His lunchroom friends figure
that he will knock Tender over
board.
But, Bennie is battling with
one imported Philadelphia light
weight. Can he give away that
poundage and win?
Nobody knows what Philly
lightweights weigh. They run
about thirty ounces to each
pound over there.
Young Erne, Unk Russell and
oldtime Quaker Oats grabbers,
used to flatten visiting tourists
to Philadelphia while disguised as
1876 Founders. None of those an
cient Pennsylvania rib thumpers
was ever within radio distance
of that weight.
They had one lightweight over
there who had to check in on
hay scales. His name was Kid
Bullets and he swung his arms
like broken piston rods on a
camel-back locomotive.
He was about fifty inches
around his vest. His neck looked
like a bass drum. When he
climbed into rings, they sagged
in middle like awnings full of
rainwater.
His real weight was 180.
But he always refused to fight
his Philly friends. He fought
alien Queensbury immigrants.
But no fellow Philadelphia

He claimed he wasn't heavy

II may be that the betting boys
are wise to themselves.
Leonard has put up some mighty
queer bouts during his reign and
those on the outside have been frost
bitten more than once.
AS we said at the start. II Leonard
and Tender are really on the square
about this thing and fight on their
merits, a man on the losing end OF a
bet should have no squawk.
True, there is no decision to be
rendered. but then one or the other
should have such a big lead that a
decision will be unnecessary.
Leonard Is a pretty good hitter.
He packs a dangerous punch, and,
according to his own dope, will
stop Tender In four rounds. He
states, further, that Tender Is the
biggest joke he's met so far.
Leonard will isugh out OF the
other side of his mouth should he
stop a few lefts with his, lunch
basket.
Tender is nobodys fool in the
glove game. He has been tried ard
In a seasoned ringster. Further.
more. he really thinks he can lick
Leonard.
Tenders pose with right foot and
hand extended will without doubt
bother Leonard some. He may say
that 1t won't. but II will. He is not
used to the pose and is bound to be
fused a bit. On the other hand,
Tender is used to facing the man
with his left extended. 1t would be
awkward for him to box a man who
poses as he does himself. It would
seem queer and unusual.

weight who poses as Tender does,

but that will be the full extent OF
his punishment. Coming In over
