Md1'uell and Kendall, Who Tied Tender Gets
In Medal Round, Are Defeated Decision Over
In Ldke1uo0d Golf Tournament johnny Dundee
PhiladeIphian's Z Work at
Close Quarters Decisive
Factor i'm Garden Bout

Lew Tender. Philadelphia's resonant
lightweight, was awarded the Judges
decision over Johnny Dundee, the
junior lightweight champion, after
hfteen rounds of spirited milling in tho
main bout at the Madison Square
Garden hstic enterta inment last night
MIR. Gender may not be too anxious
to hook up with Benny Leonard after he
reflects on last nights happenings. In
the opinion of most unbiased critics
Dundee was entitled to the verdict
though he was giving the lightweight
challenger more than seven pounds.
dundee weighed only 1876 TO Tenders
1881.
The only damage Tender did was at
close range when Dundee clinched and
then 1T was matter of brute strength.
1t was conclusivcly proven that Tender
can be hit with either hand by handy
man. Leonard. who announced from
the ring that he was open to anv
challenge, should have little difficulty
in rocking Tender to sleep. Dundee
could have turned the trick easily
enough had he packed the wallop. At
long range he hit Tender when and
where he willed.
The lighter Dundee, game cock that
he is went right after the southpaw
and scored the first point, a left jab to
the face. Johnny connected with a
hard right to the jaw. but Tender got
in stiff lcfts to the body on several
occasions
Tender gave Johnny pretty tough
hiding in the second, for the Junior
lightweight champion insisted on
crouching in at close quarters where
he had all the worse of it. In the third
Dundee feinted Tender into position
and drove his right hard to the jaw a
half dozen times. He had the Philadel-
phian looking for help before the bell
rang.
Dundee Clever at Long Range
Tender caught Dundee bouncing off
the ropes in the fourth and almost
broke him in two with left to the
stomach. But Dundee evened this with
three wicked right swings that landed
squarelv on the chin. The sixth was Il
whirlwind of action in which Dundee
got in some clever work at long range.
Tender, however, scored heavily at
close quarters, with wicked body blows
that seemed to take a great deal Of
steam out of the Scotch wop.
Dundee wrestled Tender to the floor
in the seventh. He had him cringing
from long range fire and beating 3
hasty retreat through the last two
minutes of this session. On one ooc-
weathered terrific body punching
through the ninth. He was hurt
badly by left hook into the body and
forced to clinch repeatedly, thereby
playing Tenders game as the Quaker
wished it.
Dundee hung it all over Tender
through the tenth, IS he made the
Philadelphian fight his style-at long
range.
Through the eleventh and twelfth
Dundee continued to outpoint Tender
but toward the end of the thirteenth
he bumped head-on into terrlhc lel'
to the stomach. Dundee busted on
Tender in fine shape throughout the
fourteenth, scoring with both hands
almost at will.
They fought like tiger cats through
the last round, with honors about even
Frush Knocks Out Caponi
Danny Frush, of Ohio, knocked out
TONY Caponi, of Rock Island, after
minute 67 seconds of milling IN the
seventh round OF what was 10 haN
been n twelve-round test. trush is the
bov who met Johnny kilbane IN the
featherweight champions last fight and
who was counted out after an alleged
foul.
The knockout Of Caponi was as lcglt-
innate as any ever scored, but Will go
down as a technicality, as Caponl S sec
onds tossed in a sponge AS referee
"Kid" Mcfarland reached a count OF
four.
Louis Guliemin. Of the East Side
lost the four-round curtain-ralser TO
Willie O'Connell, Of the West Side. 1t
was a spirited mill, exciting IN spots
and fairly even. but the judges thought
O'Connell scored the more points
O'Connell, who used q left jab effective
ly, weighed only 115 pounds to ll9'i
pounds for his opponent.
A lightweight draw filed with action
marked the second chapter of the en-
tertainment. This mill brought to-
gether Johnny Drummie. OF jersey
City, and Johnny Darcy, of the west
Side. Drumme weighed 1899 and
Darcy 1924 pounds.
