LEW TENDER BENT s 9
ON SLASHING ATTACK
/ ON LE0NARD'S BODY

DELANCO, n. J., July ga bit of
polishing up today ind Lew Tender,
Philadelphia challenger, will be in
tiptop shape for what he hopes Will
be victory over Benny Leonard,
lightweight champion, in their worlds
title bout in Jersey City tomorrow
night.
The only exercise he planned for
today was some strenuous tapping of
the punching bag to keep limbered up.
The remainder of the day he intends
to spend lolling about the lawn of his
house here and strolling down the
| bank of the Delaware, which runs
right past this place.
Lew is quiet and inclined to listen,
but observers wonder if this il from
progressive lockjaw or from contin-
ual clenching of his teeth when some
| one remarks that Benny Leonard says
the challenger is in the primer class
F.! of pugilism.
| He has been here nearly three
! weeks, far from the crowd-who can't
/ find the place Several groups of adj
/ mirers have organized exploring par
! ties but all that has reached the camp
! is a litter of letters explaining how
( the cause was lost A messenger boy
i found the house today.
Tender smiles frequently, but ap-
parently has his mind on something.
Reclining on his porch in the evening
a dreamy appearance comes into his
eyes, and when someone says, Lew,
Louie, what are you dreaming about?"
Lew smiles broadly Then he goes
to bed
Same Old SouthPaw
i The challenger will be the same
i sort of southpaw battler he has al
ways been when he steps into the ring
at Boyle's Thirty Acres. He has spent
long hours trying to crowd more power
into his powerful left arm, and a wee
bit more of coordination into his
right. He says he has succeeded.
i Tender is bent on continuing with
both arms, his body busting, rib-rip-
: ping tactics from close range His
sparring bouts show it. His pet
! diversion is caving in somebody s
: superstructure and he evidently will
carry on the same sort of struggle
; that has made his campaign to be the
, logical contender a successful one.
Tenders training quarters here
: were not what he had anticipated, but
: he is satisfied. He was prevented
. from occupying an ideal mansion or
! the river bank by vandals who broke
in and smashed most OF. the furniture
( a few days before his arrival.
That necessitated renting a house
: two blocks from a portable ring witt
i two boarded sides, which was set VI
: in a field behind a garage. He ha:
: been favored with warm weather and
5 little rain and is thoroughly tanned
: He will remain here until tomorrow
and then take a train to Jersey Cit,
to weigh in at o'clock

. Il Really Happened


Once upon a time this one really
happened-in a game between Bir-
mingham and Atlanta
Birmingham had man on first and
another on second. Henline hit a ball
through the infield, whereupon every
body started wild sprint. The man
who had been on second crossed third,
started for home and then ran back
to third because he thought a coacher
had yelled at him to Ado so. That
man got back to third just at the
moment that the man who had been at
first arrived. And there the pair
stood glaring at each other.
Meanwhile the outfielder had
fumbled the ball. Henline, seeing it
as he was nearing second, decided to
try for an extra base. So, with head
down, and all sails set, he tore along
for third base. He made a wild dive
for the bag and his feet, oversliding
the cushion, knocked over his two
teammates who were standing there.
All three Birmingham players were
sprawling upon the ground as the
sthird basenlan got the relayed throw
from the outfield. Very expertly he
touched all three runners and made a
triple play-perhaps the only one OF
its kind in baseball history.
Here's Another One
Years ago Buck" Freeman hoisted
one of Chief Bender's offerings over
the Philadelphia fence. The bal
landed squarely on top of the head o.
a man walking along the street. L
dropped him TO the pavement as
though he had been hit with the picl
axe.
A crowd gathered. A policeman
hurried to the scene. He showed bach
the crowd and just as he was abou
to lean over the PROSTATE citizen the
aforementioned citizen came to.
The first thing he saw was police
man, armed with a big club, standing
over him The first thing he felt wa!
a whale of bump on top of his head
He examined his conscience, discov
cred that he had committed no sin
and then he got mad.
He jumped to his feet and swung
fist at the cop Missing, he aimed
kick at the guardian of the law, AM
then tried another right hook. There
upon the cop grabbed him.
Whats the idea of trying to nun
der me?" demanded the policeman.
what was your idea trying to muI
der me?" beloved the citizen.
"Who-me?" asked the cop.
Eyes, you-you cracked me on tn
head, you dirty skunk, and | hadn'
done a thing" and the citizen, break
ing out with a new rash of rage, trie
to kick and bite the policeman.
1t required five minutes OF explana
ton by the policeman, and by witnes
ses Of the accident, to convince tn
citizen that the cop was wholly innc
cent.

Fifteen tallies is the seasons record

SPIKES ONCE USED
FOR OTHER PURPOSES
THAN DIGGING IN SOD
ny FRANf< G. MENKE

Spikes once were among the most
lated William (Kid) Gleason, boss of
the White Sox, but nowadays the
boys have become so refined they do
not Use EN- for any other purpose
than TO jam 'em into the sod.
But when played the game-hew!
Once there was a third baseman
who violated some of our spiking
rules. He stuck 'em into second
basemans chest that was very un-
ethical, for we had sort of unwritten
law against spiking above the waist
line. Below the waist-that was o. K.
"'I'll get you for that, Kissed the
second baseman.
HE did-about two innings later.
He got around to second base and
then started for third on drive
through the infield. He probably
could have scored on the play-but
that wasn't his purpose. AS he turned
third he knocked the third baseman
down, then faxed a fall himself, re-
covered and slid back to third. But
in doing so he was very careful to
slide his spikes right into the face of
the third baseman.
"On another occasion one second
baseman got a rough deal as he was
going into the keystone bag one day.
l think the fellow there, after block
ing him off, punched him in the nose
playful like.
He Got Revenge
THE next time the puncher got on
first the punched second baseman was
waiting for him. AS the runner started
to steal, the man who had been
punched ran up the line to meet him
He ran SO far up that there wasn't
any chance to make the catch. But
that wasn't his intention, anyway.
"All he did was to leap into the air
spikes first, and throw himself at the
oncoming runner. There was a COLI
sion The second baseman, first tc
recover. jumped to his feet, jumped
onto the other fellows back and
ground his spikes in. That spiking
Nplus the cuts the runner got in thJ
collision, laid him on the shelf for g
week.
Those were the good old days Of
red-blooded baseball-with most Of
the blood trucking around on the bal
field"

COAST CLUBS
LOST MONEY
i, REPORT SAYS
Only Three Teams Made
Profit Last Season-Ver-
non, Los Angeles, Seals.

LOS ANGELES, Nov Glow to
put every club in the Pacific Coast
League on a paying basis will be
the big talk at the Coast League
meeting this month.
Reports just received from other
cities throughout the Coast League
show that five of the clubs in the
circuit dropped money.
Only three teams-San Francisco,
Los Angeles and Ver1on-made
enough to talk about.
The remaining five clubs in the
league had to use red ink or else
the figures on the profit side of
the ledger were so small that they
did not represent per cent on
the investment.
Play at Home
One of the big reasons for Oak
lands failure to make much money
was the playing of all the games at
home. When the Seals and Oaks
played at Oakland they drew good
crowds, but when other teams went
there the fans seemed to stay away.
One double-header at Oakland drew
only 5000 fans, while 500 was the
count several times during weekdays.
Salt Lake simply did not show the
drawing power of couple of years
afo.
Sacramento, with a tail-end club
and heavy investment, figured to
drop money, while Seattle, one of
the big playing clubs of the league
since it joined the circuit, fell by
the wayside
Portland started off good In the
first four weeks the Beavers played
to 81 900 fans, as many as the team
drew at home the entire season when
the Mercedes owned the team in
1921.
Still the squad failed to make any
money. 1t is claimed the expenses
Of the Portland team exceeded that
of any other squad in the entire
league. The pay roll of tho Beavers
amounted to $4,000 month during
the playing season. That includes
everyone from Bill Hopper, the
president. to the ground keeper.
Keeper draws down $4,000 a sea-
son; Secretary Fred Rivers gets
$1,000 a year. while Kenworthy's
contract is for $500 a year.
