HYMANGOLD IS IN
LIMELIGHT TONIGHT
AS Jimmy Duffy Fans Thought
He Had Chance to Whip
Tender.
MUST USE HIS OWN NAME
Wife as Former Miss Duffy
Will Be Close to Ring in
the Garden.
MUST USE HIS OWN NAME
By w. O. McGEEHAN.

Lew Tender, the port sided light
weight, who has been annoying Benny
Leonard, the lightweight champion,
with challenges and insinuations, Will
meet Hyman Gold,~ the California
mystery, at Madison Square Garden
tonight. Mr.. Gold, who is Irish on
his wife's side, came to New YORK
wearing the monicller of Jimmy Duffy
but under a rigid cross-examination
by the Boxing Commission he broke
down and confessed that his name was
LYMAN Gold. Tie sentence of the
commission was that he fight under
this name.
When Gold was announced as Jimmy
Duffy of California there was consider
able optimism regarding his chances
The Duffys of California are rugged
race. The family originated in Clemen-
tina street. south of Market street, san
Francisco From this same historic
thoroughfare came Jim Corbett, Jimmy
Britt, Willie Richie. Spider keiiy.
David Belasco and David Warfeld.
The Duffys of California were mostly
railroad Irish and attended the Chris
tfan Brothers school in San Francisco.
No one ever finished a course at this In
stitution of learning unless he had
GOOD straight left and could use his right
when necessary.
A youngster returning home south OF
Market street with one eye closed dia
rot have TO explain, zone Of the Duft-
boys did this to me-" 1t was super
nuous. The accuracy Of the Duly
straight left was one of the legends Of
san Francisco. Naturally 1t was
thought that this Jimmy Duffy was a
genuine shoot of this sterling stock and
there was considerable disappointment
among those who have studied tine
anthropology of the Pacific coast when
n was learned that he was merely mar
ried to a genuine Duffy.
Large Money Confronts Hyman.
BE this as II may, Mr.. Hyman Gold
viii be in the comparatively large money
n he should get the better of Tender TO-
night In fact he would be eligible to
collect the losers end of business en-
gagement with Benny Leonard. me
lightweight champion. Hence Lyman
will endeavor most earnestly this eve
ming.
Mr.. Colds spouse. the former MISS
Duffy. will be among those present whAA
her husband squares off against Tender.
She has asked to be placed as closelt 20
the ringside as possible. II Is duEe
likely that the prospect of being askec
how come" by a member of the Duity
family of California may be the main IN
centive for Hyman Gold to try not 70
have anything to explain.
James Coffroth and James Griffith,
two close students of the art of the late
MARQUIS of Queensberry In California,
have announced that Hyman Gold is
n,1ite as good II not better than Willie
Ritchie. However. this may be just
burst Of the optimism that springs
eternal on the other side OF the Sierras.
We shall see.
Proceeding this bout Andy Palmer of
Tulsa. will engage with Jimmy Darcy,
and Clonnie TAFT. the courageous
Canuck. will meet Johnny Murray OF
New York AS an added attraction
Jack Kearns (himself and no other
will grace the gathering and disguise
himself as one OF the seconds of Hyman
Gold. Babe Herman and Billy DeFoe
win appear in the semi-final.
The Fifteenth Regiment Armory will
also be the scene of carnage and trucu-
lence this evening. In the main event
Danny Edwards will endeavor to spill
