UIew Tender and Bobby Barrett
...uld no like n race between Norwich
s.yo smJ Wireless. The Philadelphia south
a.M s.u, who is 10 meet Benny Leonard In
Jersey City July 20. stands out con
".;ouously as sure shot winner
sssinst the Clifton Heights Red Head. :.
n their scheduled eight round bout at
he Phillies Ball Park.
put there is one big point in Bar
...e. H"' t.vor. and that is his terrific
r rr.ncS,ns powers. II the dope 10 to be
pp.1st p.ns;t Il viii be thst mighty right Of
nsShy's TO accomplish the trick. It Is
.;'tvs,iv H foreeone conclusion that
rsrrstt must score a knock out, II
he Is to win.
Tender himself is not cream pun
puncher. Lew IL the possessor OF
sleep producing wallop. A glimpse ut
Iey's record will show long string OF
fnock. outs. However. the Logan
lambaster doesn't depend entirely on
his hitting ability to win. He is one
of the cleverest boxers In America and
Il conceded to be the best fistman OF
his style in the world.
Serious Contender
While Tender has proved his worth
a. = serious contender for the light
weight championship for several years.
n has been only within the last few
months that Barrett has stepped into
The lime. glare. A one e-round knock
| out against Johnny Mealy made. the
fans here sit up and recognize Barrett.
and when he repeated in three rounds
IN a bout with Hymie Gold. scoring
three knock downs, Bobby dissipated
any doubt about his vicious punch.
In training, Barrett hit one Of his
sparring partners with a straight right
hand on the forehead with sixteen
ounce glove. mitten supposed to be
guaranteed as non n-knockoutable. and
said trainer was dropped ttatter than
the proverbial pancake; Barrett is a
socker, all right: but the question that
will be answered Monday is: VIII Bar
fett be able to hit Tender!
Both Barrett and Tender finished
their respective training yesterday
afternoon. Bobby did all Of his work
on Jimmy Dougherty's estate. where a
splendid open lair gymnasium. as we'll
% one indoors. was erected especially
for the red d-head Lew got himself
u condition at Philadelphia Jack
OBrien's.
Down to Weight
Each said this morning that he was
under the specified weight. 1876 pounds,
and they are to weigh in at o'clock
Monday afternoon in the Office Of Her
man Taylor and Bobby Gunnis. the pro
moters, at Thirteenth and Filbcrt
streets.
Tender and Barrett both are con =
hdent OF victory, the former even more
so. While Lew did not loaf in his
training, he has not taken Barrett seri- =
ously, and figures that he will have one
Of the easiest bouts of his career. Bar
rIett. on the other glove. is expecting a
hard battle. with the ultimate result
in his favor.
i understand that Tender has
trained with the purpose in mind Of
creating a defense for a straight right :
hand punch said the unsmiling Bar
rett this morning after II light break
~ Ct his home In Clifton Heights,
and that none Of his sparring part :
hers, Including the trigger right hand
punching Joe Jackson. has been able
10 connect.
That's all wcll and good. Blu,
