LEONARD SURE
TO GIVE BEST
AGAINST LEW
Benny's Pride Hurt
By Recent Unkind-
~ Remarks.
BY FAIR PLAY,
(COpyright, 1922, by The August

NNoPyiI6ul, 1cA@, W 1 Ac Al 8 uo.J
New York, July 3.-Whatever
happens with respect to the Leol1-
ard-Kansas fight-and it looks as
though Benny in view of recent
events will try to stow away the
Italian-the fight with Tender is
regarded by the insiders-that is,
by men who wager big money on
fights-as sure to be strictly On
the up-and-up.! Benny's pride has
been hurt by remarks made since
the Britton fight to the effect that
he is going down hill, that he was
playing phony, and the like. and
he is wise enough to know, too,
that he owes it to his drawing ca
pacity to do something worth while.
Were Rocky Kansas to make
good showing against Leonard, that
fact would give Tender a psyche
logical advantage that Benny-who
many really believe fears the Phil
adelphian-would not wish him to
possess.
The talk among the layers is that
Benny laid of the last fight pro-
jected against Tender because he
found himself weakening through
taking of weight. 1t may be so.
Anyway, the wise ones. who are
doping out the situation as it
stands between the champion and
the chief aspirant for the title, alb
solutely believe that neither is go
ing to do any tin-canning. II they
were, it is pointed out the bout
would be held in New York and
not in Jersey.
But in the skeeter state there
can be no juggling with decisions,
because no decisions are given.
And SO il Tender wants the title he
has got to knock his man cold. A
newspaper decision will mean moth
ing. Thus the betting will be COM
fined to the knockout question, and
in such cases a bout gets As square
a look as possibly can be given. So
far as Leonard and Tender are
concerned, neither would gain in
the end by laying down. 1t is Alto
gether unlikely that either would
think Of laying down.

bank presidents annual salary look like

There are very few boxers who have
not reached the prima donna stage IN
demanding and receiving vast sums for
championship and near championship
bouts. In addition, many Of the bouts
are very questionable and present evil
dence that points to corrupt methods,
or at least highly suspicious ones.
This condition is being fostered by
the New York State Athletic Commits
sion. 1t has taken upon itself the active
supervision Of all pugilist bouts in New
York State, even going so far as to de-
clare who shall be and who shall not
be champions. Yet, instead Of attempt
ing to remedy the situation by drastic
action, the state Commission is afhrma-
lively encouraging the boxing promoters
to continue gouging the public by estab-
fishing a scale Of admission prices that
is absolutely without Justification.
This became apparent when the COM
mission officially decreed that the maxi
mum admission price shall he $50 and
others in proportion. 1t is scandalous
that anybody should be allowed to charge
SIS for admission to any boxing exhibi-
ton. II Is worse when done by and with

TILDEN VS.. JOHNSTON
NEXT TENNIS TREAT
Americas Best Favored TO
Meet in Title Round of Ma
tional Championship.
BY SAMUEL ). BRooKMAN.

1t is only natural 10 suppose that any
tournament that follows the inter
national Davis cup event is likely to
prove an anti-climax. But such is not
always the case. In the national singlee
championship. which opens tomorrow
on the courts OF the Germantown
Cricket Club. Philadelphia. tennis will
furnish not an anti-climax but sort
of second climax. for the tussle for the
American title with Australian, Spanish
and Japanese stars opposing the best
players in the United States promises
to be one of the keenest and most inter-
esting in the forty-one-year-old history
of the event.
After the decisive way In which VIII
lam T. Tilden and William NJ. Johnston
defeated the best of the tennis ehal-
lengers. no one anticipates the loss of
the title to a foreign player. but the
presence of the visiting stars will keep
Tilden, Johnston ct al on their toes
from start to finish. and 1t will be no
easy task advancing to as late round
as the semi-final
Tilden and Johnston will be the finalists
and that the tussle between them for q
third leg on the championship cup VIII
add a thrilling chapter to tennis history.
Each needs one more leg on the prize
