1T was the meneging that done it,
Mr.. Kaplan said as he discussed his

for which he is known for the length
and breadth of Park Row. "Chack

you could see for yourseluf in all the
papers chust what happened. Here is q
picture Of me in the corner meneging
my box fighter. Look how ! am holding
the towel. | practiced 1t so that ! got
1t down good.
II aint afraid from Billy Gibson and
I bet l could outmenege him any time

has got is Benny Leonard. 1t amt the
box fighting which il counts because
anybody could be box fighter 1t i
the meneging where the brains is and
that is the real business"
The Leonard-White bout will take
place in some open air abattoir in the
late spring The infection which Benny

ing over some unfumigated securities in
out of active work that long. Anyhow
Mr.. Gibson. dipping into the future, sees
more money I'm an outdoor house than
they could get into Madison Square
Garden.
He told Ike Dorgan, who now holds
the serial and dramatic rights TO Charlie
White. that the bout was on as soon as
the minor details could be arranged. lie
made this statement fully realizing that
anything he might say would be used
against him. The understanding is that

Lew Tender. the little left handed
stepchild of the lghtweghts, will box
twelve rounds with Johnny Sheppard at
the Rink Club in Brooklyn Saturday
night The press agent of the rink who
seems TO be something Of a spoofer.
declares that the winner of the bout
certainly will meet Benny Leonard in
the near future. If the winner should
happen to be Tendler--which is quite
likely-he may meet Benny somewhere
in the street. but Benny will not even
say, How do you do" That is why
Tender is the little stepchld Of the
lightweight division. The champion aO-
solutely refuses to meet him socially
or In q business way.

the middleweight champion Of the Irish
Free state. will bump right into Lou
Bogash, one of the hardest citizens of
the durable manufacturing center Of
Bridgeport Conn. Mr.. J. Wilson. the

among those present. 1t Is said that he
considers both OF these boys too rough.
