TENNIS BEFORE
BR|T1ONF|GHT
Champion Surprises Admirers
BY Adding "Forty-Love"
Pastime to Stunts.

Benny Leonard is doing his
stuff" daily for his coming battle
with Jack Britton. Benjamin goes
through his work each afternoon he
fore an admiring. perspiring throhg.
When he climbs through the ropes
the place is jammed to overflowing
for many OF the sightseers figure
this will be the best they can do. as
far as seeing Leonard in action.
Benny has added = new stunt TO his
course of training which has created
quite a furore. Benny plays tennis
daily.
You've heard OF fighters swim
ming. playing handball. wrestling.
running and jumping over hurdles.
but as for playing tennis. Benny
Leonard has created a new method
Of conditioning.
He explains it by saying he gets
every muscle in action. and it is a
wonderful thing for developing the
keenness-of the eye. He doesn't
forget that In facing Britton he is
going to mingle with a man with a
left jab that is letter perfect. Never
theless, the playing of tennis has
caused a lot of scandal around the
neighborhoOd.
Benny Is no Bill Tilden with the
racket, but he's pretty good, as he's
very adept at picking up things. A
few of his old pals, such as Walter
st. Denis and Bob Ripley, who are
nifty tennis players, take on the
champion just to show him how
good they are. When II comes down
to doing a little boxing they rebel
and swear they're only good at bang
ing the little rubber ball. SO don't
be surprised to hear that all fighters
like Leonard will soon be crying
forty love" even IL they don't know
what it's all about.

Der. -
Georges will now 1be accused Of
picking "set-ups." A little over a
year ago hundreds and hundreds Of
columns of words laudatory Of his
gameness were being printed all
over America.
The man who was not. afraid to
meet the so-called man-killer,
Dempsey, win now be charged with
dodging the light hitting Greb. Il
is a curious and changeable world,
this world Of sport.
The Washington times., 1922-06-19

Carpenter would have been paid
$4,000 for fighting Greb. $780,
900 less than he got for fighting
Dempsey, with a million dollars
less danger. Fighters Of not as
much prominence or skill as Car

Some lively action is foreseen in
the competition. and although eligi-
bility protests are few it is ex-
pected that many an argument will
be settled before the big battle is
over.
Some warm stuff may be looked
for, especially when teams of
southwest and northeast meet in
the senior class, but firm steps
will be taken to avoid any such
disturbances as occurred during
the 1921 championships.
Any action in that direction, how
ever, probably will be unnecessary,
for sandlotters are becoming more
and more of a mind that to cause
disorder , is to injure the standing
of sandlot baseball.

An actual play is fast enough.
The preliminaries leading up to
that play drag. 1t takes an aver
age Of two hours to play a ball
game. Fistic championships are
generally decided in much less
time. A horse race, involving, hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars, is
run off in q fraction of that time.
There is much waste motion in
baseball. Too much. The players
move to and from their work slowly,
and much of the game is in useless

Wright's men have mastered the
