INVADERS OUT OF IT
Taylor and Herd Have Practically No Chance to Win Annual Open Event On Shawnee Links.

Shawnee on the Delaware, Pa, July 27.-The annual open tournament of the Shawnee Country club, that jagged |rock upon which in recent years Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, George Duncan and Abe Mitchell have crashed and foun- dered, sent another pair of craft from Britannia's golfing armada reeling of in distress yesterday when J. H. Tay- Tor and Sandy Herd, respectively, re- turned score of 15s and 156 for the first half of the seventy-two hole com petition.
 Herd with his 156 was exactly II strokes behind the leader and with the five times winner of the British open cham pionship. Taylor spotting the Header fourteen shots 1t was pretty generally agreed that Shawnee once
 again has been saved for the home
 brigade.
 The fight, with the conclusion of the two rounds had narrowed to razor
 edge keenness, ith John Golden, the Tuxedo homebred, occupying the post which at the same time at Skokie in
 the national open championship was held by John Black, the California grandpa.

PICKS BENNY TO WIN
Hoboken Astrologer Sees Signs in Sun, Moon and Zodiac. a Knockout For Lightweight Champion Over Tendler

New York. July 27.-In an elabor- ate statement in which the sun, the moon, the signs of zodiac and the planets, especially the martial planet Mars, are used for the basis of his prognostication, Prof" Gustave Meyer, Hoboken astrologer, yester- day predicted that Benny Leonard will hold his lightweight boxing championship tonight against his challenger Lew Tender. Leonard, according to the statement. will prob- ably win by knockout.
 Leonard's victory, according to the astrologer will be due to the fact that Leonard had the martial planet Mars in friendly aspect to the sun at his birth.' Tonight, Meyer explained, Tender will have the martial planet Mars badly aspected in his nativity, or chart. similar in aspect to. when I predicted that Moran would knock out Palzer in seven rounds back in 1913 Hence Tender is due to see more stars than he ever saw in all his pugilistic career, and will imagine that his star is setting.''

RIVAL FIGHTERS

Leonard and Tender Pronounced
 Fit for Yonieht's Fray

New York, July 27 The second battle of the century" at Boyle's 30 Acres in Jersey City-this tipe with, the lightweight championship at stake will take place tonight when Benny Leonard defends his title against Lew Tender, Philadelphia challenger. in a l2-round bout.
 Both boxers pronounced themselves fit and confident on the eve of match perhaps unparalleled in inter- est In the history of the lightweight ranks and rivalling as a fistic at- traction the memorable encounter a year ago on the same battle. ground, when Jack Dempsey success fully defended his heavyweight crown against Georges Carpenter Benny Looks For K. o.

Both men must weigh in at or under the lightweight limit, ,1s5 have posted forfeits of $15,0oo as
 
 Under the New Jersey boxing laws no decision can be given If the bout goes the limit. Thus Tenders only chance to displace Leonard as cham pion Is by scoring a knockout or by foul.
 Arrangements have been made to handle the largest throng that ever attended a lightweight championship contest Tex Rickard estimated the receipts at between $4oo,ooo and s500,000 and the attendance at 75,000.
 In Case of Rain
 Weather conditions were promising but should conditions be unfavorable the contest will be held tomorrow night or the first available night, Rickard announced.
 Under the terms of the contract for the battle the principals will box on a percentage basis. According to Rickard. they will get 62h per cent of the gross receipts; Leonard's share being 421 # and Tenders 20 per cent
 Their First Meeting
 The contest will mark the first time Leonard and Tendler have ever met in the ring. They were signed several months ago for a contest in Phila- delphia but it was called off when Leonard injured his hand training. The assertion that in tonight's bout there is more than desire for pugil- istic honors and the money that it will bring is based on the fact that Tenders manager claimed Leonard's forfeit of s5,0o0 for the Philadelphia match in spite of the latter's vigorous protest.
 Leonard, crafty ring general, with a formidable record as champion in the last five years and ranked by many followers of the game as the best in his division since the days of Joe Cans, will face a hard hitting. dangerous southpaw in the Quaker City challenger.
 Rivals Are The Class
 Both have battled the class in their ranks. Leonard, considered the faster and more resourceful boxer, has more impressive record. The frequent assertion has been made that the champion could'no reduce to the 135 pound limit and still retain his stam- ina, but he denied this opinion as he completed his training well inside the dividing line.
