He couldn't write or paint or make
"a speech,
Nothing he's done has ever brought
him fame
He had no gifts the heights OF Life

Yet he shall be remembered just
the same.
His ears were filled with kindly
little deeds,
He gave, cheered, helped and COM
forted and soothed,
His was the service Life so often
needs,
In little ways the rugged paths he
smoothed.
He'd take the burdens from you
with a smile
And call it nothing, in his modest
way;
He thought success was brilliance
or style.
And kindness but the duty Of the
day
He thought so little Of the joys he
gave
That he would be astounded could
he know
Now that the earth has closed upon
his grave
How many friends he had who
miss him so.

New York, July 2s.-Well it
turned out that Justice Swayze of
the New Jersey supreme court was
right when he denied the motion of
the committee of Jersey parsons to
disallow the Leonard Tender bout
on the ground that it was to be a
prize fight. The justice knew
more than the parsons-or else he
was a better guesser. Anyway. the
guy who would get the meeting be-
tween Benny Leonard and Lew
Tender and Boyle's Thirty Acres
confused with an old time prize
fight would be likely to confuse the
annual summer maneuvers of the
Atlantic fleet off Buantamo with
the we'll known battle Of Jutland.
1t was boxing match, all right.
It was a nifty setto, we'll worth
paying a good price to see. Just
the same it was boxing match,
not a prize fight. Science pro-
truded from all over this bout. The
most striking exhibition of high
craftsmanship lay in the carefully
calculated hitting-hard enough to
sting and to hurt, yet not hard
enough to knock out. Looked as
if the block was set against the
kayo express.
Standing in the ring and looking
over that pop eyed throng of spec
tators the thought must have oc-
Cured to at least some one of the
interested parties, why not sum-
mon this $45O,0O0 house together
again? We don't say it did occur,
but if not, why not? Anyway you
can jot down one thing in your lit
tie red book, to wit: That if Leon
ard wasn't pulling his punches,
then he was too weak at the weight
to do real damage. Time and
again, after the fourth round when
he had begun to solve the myster-
les of Tenders southpaw stance
Benny brought his right to Lewis
jaw. But the crash was not there
and the left handler did not even
vince.
Now Benny ID Z champion, one
of those champions who stow men
away when they touch them with
their magic gloves. He had all his
old accuracy Of aim in the latter
rounds, all his lightning footwork
but as they say ON Allen his wal

through the bout with more than
enough points to win the referees

knocked out of the champions face

er thinking that Benny had paid
good money for his dentist to come

pretty pivot tooth in place.
Benny Looked Pale.
Well, to get back to Benny's
punches. either he was pulling
them or at the weight he couldn't
make them do business. One or the
other. Take your choise. In the
matter of weight Jersey physi-
clan who saw Benny in his dressing
room when he weighed in the after
noon of the fight said that he look
ed to him like 1T. B." patient;
that he was drawn and pale. After
he had hoped off the scales he is
reported to have taken a big drink
of claret which indicated he had
dried out not wisely but too we'll!
Any one at the ringside must have
noticed how Benny's collar bone
and ribs stuck out.
Will Meet Again.
He and Tender will undoubtedly
meet again and the meeting will
draw as big a crowd as the one we
are discussing but it is very doubt
full indeed if Leonard will agree to
fight at the 135-pound limit-un-
less as said, he was pulling his
punches in the Jersey City ring.
Assuming that both fighters were
doing their level best one can say
only that they are pretty near to-
gether and their battles of the fu-
ture are likely to be decided on the
basis of points Tender is by no
means the boxer Leonard is but he
is always carrying the fight, doesn't
mind being walloped and, judging

back he has good head on his
