DUCK BILLED PLATYPUS
 IS RECEIVED IN HAWAII

HONOLULU, July 27. - A duck billed platypus, the first of it's kind to be landed alive on American soil, has recently been imported from Australia and may become a part of the zoologi- cal collection now maintained by the city of Honolulu.
 The duck billed platypus is in ap- pearance a cross between duck and beaver. It lays eggs, but suckles its young.
 Previous attempts to establish the platypus north of the equator have failed, making the proposition risky one particularly as the price asked for the bird-animal is $5,0O0.

LEONARD RULING FAVORITE N FISTIC FRAY WITH LEW
 TENDLER AT JERSEY CTYI

slipped and would be a hand-picked assignment for the first tough baby that happened along. Tender came within that definition, being fast, az EressiVe, a terrific body punisher, very strong at the lightweight limit and game to fault. Il az7,- The Kansas bout, however gave the impression that Benny can fight when the spirit moves him. It further strengthened the belief that Leonard would never tie himself up with Tend Ter if he wasn't reasonably certain that he would make an order of finnan- haddie of the Philadelphian's rather prominent beak.
 TENDLER IS RlGHT-HANDER
 Essentially Tender is made to measure for right-hand puncher of the Leonard school. He fights with his right hand extended, and it seems a more or less simple matter to reach Tenders jaw with a straight right. Hymie Gold rocked him repeatedly with this punch in the early rounds of a bout at Madison Square Garden last winter
 Tenders reply, if any, will be his attack to the body. It is a punishing assault in which lefts and rights are driven home with equal impartia'ity. a left hook to the body being his best punch. It has bourght down some of the best men in the division and all but ruined Johnny Dundee in recent bout.
 But whether body puncher car get to the shifty Leonard without having has head knocked back between his shoulder blades is an open question. On this will hinge the outcome of to- nights bout.
 Incidentally, it will be a battle of fragile hands. Leonard has been markedly solicitous of his right for several years, the member having shown a disposition to crumble when brought into violent contact with pu- gilistic countenances. Tenders left is mashed almost out of human sem blance, but since he wields it upon abdominal sectors the strain upon it is not great.
 The prevailing odds are 6 to on Leonard, with takers not so numerous as of yore, but comparatively plentiful at that. Many bets were made weeks before the fight when Leonard's pres tige was ebbing, and these are carry ing most of the money on tonight's ac- tivities. Apparently the Broadway sharp-shooters have decided that enough is an ample sufficiency.

NEW YORK, July 27-The greatest battle of lightweights since Cans beat l Nelson on a foul in the forty-seconC round in the dim, dead days of Gold field is down in the calender for to night in the meeting of Benny Leonard and Lew Tender in twelve no-decisior rounds at Boyle's Thirty Acres, Jer sey City.
 Barring one of Tenders left-handed knockouts, Leonard's title will be as safe as though he left it under lock and key in his Bronx apartment. Yet the meeting overshadows in popular in terest the later sorties of Cans and Nelson; the bout In which Ad Wolgast stopped the Battling Dane; the loss of the title by Willie Ritchie to Freddie Welsh in London, and Leonard's sen sational ninth round knockout of Welsh in New York.
 The answer? Plain as a clergyman's vest.
 Leonard and Tender have been given the benefit of one of the finest ballyho0s yet accorded fistic enter prise. Much has been made of the bad blood alleged to exist between the two men.
 Tender claimed Leonard's forfeit of S5,OOO when Benny failed to go to the post in Philadelphia last summer, owing to what he said was an injured hand The Leonard menage forth vowed eternal vendetta. Another fac tor in the build-up has been the sin gular inability of promoters to get the men together, in spite of the fact that Tender has been blatant, in sinuating challenger for well upward of three years.
 AT LAST THEY MEET
 Now they are to meet at last, and perforce the merry villagers have be- come considerably exercised. They have no assurance that the gentle men in question will not engage in an entertaining buck and wing dance for twelve rounds, yet the worthy MT. Rickard will be considerably aston ished, not to say nonplussed and cha grined, if 75,000 honest souls are not in the stands when the men enter the ring.
 During present days the odds have veered to the Leonard cause. The champion lost considerable prestige in the Britton bout, but regained this and more when subsequently he stopped Rocky Kansas in the eighth round at Michigan City.
 Until then the Tender following was in the majority. It had become the popular belief that Leonard had

Continued from page 1.

T social service workers do their 1 bit in this humanitarian cause. These tuberculars must be in- structed in hygiene and sanita- ton to prevent the spread of tuberculosis to other members of the family and to the public at large.
 "We believe that if tubercu- losis is to be stamped out it will be through the health educa- ton of children in acquiring strong disease resisting bodies. To this end health crusades have been established in the schools and we are working for milk stations and open air classrooms.
 Arizona should not have to carry this burden alone. Other states can help by encourag ging home. The curative value of climate has been overestimated and it has been demonstrated that patients recover from tu- berculosis in all parts of the United States, when given rest fresh air, proper food and med ical attention. It is a. serious thing to advise a tubercular to change his climate. The fol- lowing question should be ask ed: Twill separation from home result in homesickness and loneliness? Has the pa- tient money to travel and live in a new climate?" Every state should feel it's responsibility in care:rg for it's own sick whether at home or in another state.
 "In closing I wish to assure those present that Arizona is not selfish, it does want to do its part but it must protect it. self in order to live and to grow.
