Quaker's Body Blows May
Annoy Champion.
BY CHARLES F. MArH1soN.

Charley White, the Chicago light
weight. who. having filed a formal chal-
lenge with the Boxing Commission. will
neet the winner of the Tendler-Leonard
championship battle. yesterday gave ex-
preston to some interesting comment on
the impending bout. White has had a
ring Joust with Leonard and should
know something Of the methods and
qualities Of the champion. White de-
clared that the match was q difficult one
to decipher.
This will be a hard fight to pick"
said White. Leonard. without question,
has q wonderful right hand wallop, but
he only scored II on me with effect COM
ing out OF a clinch. had him beaten
until then, and IL Tender is as good as
they claim. look to see the champion
doing his best from the start Tender
Is strong. can take q good punch and
his body attack will beat anybody he
gets inside OF. That Is his long suit, but
LEONARD will win II he can keep away
from the clinches.
They will break at the order OF the
referee, but Tender will be allowed to
hit with both arms free. Both men will
have to be holding to constitute a clinch.
and 1t will be inside that Tender will
get In his deadliest work. Benny will
have to step his fastest to stall off
Tenders aggressive style. I look to see
one OF the best lightweight contests in a
good many years"
White quoted as declaring that II
Tender has an advantage in points at
the end OF the twelfth round he will be
recognized as the champion. Nothing
could be further from the facts. There
being no Judges for points and the
referee being prohibited by law from
selecting a winner in the event of the
contest lasting twelve rounds, a winner
cannot be named except unofficially.
Only In the event of an official verdict
by judges or q referee would the victor
be recognized as champion.
How Tender Can Win Title.
Tender can win the title In two ways,
first by knockout and second on a foul.
he would score knockout II he put
Leonard on the floor for count of ten !;
II Leonard's second tossed sponge or a
towel If the referee stopped the bout to
save Leonard from unnecessary punish
ment. or il Leonard was unable to re-
spond to the bell at the beginning Of a
round.
Tender would win on a foul II the
referee disqualified Leonard for hitting
low blow that disabled the Philadel-
phian.
1t would be in the power for referee
Ertlei to disqualify Leonard If the
champion used the kidney or rabbit
punches after being warned by the third
n an in the ring.
In substance, II the bout lasts the
limit Of IL rounds there will be no
change OF title and the boxer who has
the better of the argument on points
will merely gain the prestige due to
having outboxed his opponent.
Six hundred ushers and special police
men will be rehearsed to-day at the
big Jersey BOWL The arena has under

1t is expected that $4,000 people " i'll
