MINISTER PROTESTS
 AGAINST B|G BOUT
Rev. H. |. Wyatt Asks That Law Be Enforced Tomorrow Night

Jersey City N. J., July 2b.-A pro- test against the Benny Leonard-Lew Tendler lightweight boxing cham pionship contest at Boyle's Thirty Acres Thursday night was made to Mayor Hague yesterday by the Rev. Harvey L. Wyatt, acting for the so- ciety of New Jersey for the Proven ton of Crime, a newly organized min- isterial association.
 Dr. Wyatt, who as a member of the Jersey City Clergymen's Community club, was active in opposing the Dempsey Carpenter encounter last July, told the mayor that the Tend ler-Leonard affair would be demoral- izing. He asked the mayor to see to 1t, If the fight actually did take place. that the law for the punishment of crime was enforced.
 The mayor thanked me and said nothing more' Dr. Wyatt said later
 Counsel for the ministerial associa- ton said the association had little hope of preventing the match, but that it was going to seek in the next legislature a revision of the boxing law, and wanted to show that it had left nothing undone to prevent the Leonard Tender match.

Leonard To Rest ID.

Budd Lake, N. J., July 26.-Light- weight Champion Benny Leonard laid aside his clumsy practice gloves last night and went to sleep with the con- viction that his two weeks of intensive training have put him at the pinnacle of his form for his title bout with Lew Tendler, Thursday night, at Jersey City.
 Rain, which fell nearly all day, dis arranged his training schedule and he planned a light workout today, though it will be mainly day of rest. He will make a short road run Thurs day morning before he packs up and motors to Boyle's Thirty Acres to be weighed in.
 Leonard and his trainers are en- thusiastic over the accurate hitting he has shown in his sparring matches. The three battered sparring partners, distressed despite the leather guards that protected their heads, garrulous- ly attested to the drive behind the champions punches.
 What expert criticism has been ad- vanced about the showing Leonard has made In his training bouts here cen ters on his footwork, once universally acknowledged as the cleverest to be seen, Leonard believes this criticism to be an exaggeration, but he has taken special exercises after each bout to Timber his leg muscles.

WOUND CITY FANS
 ARE UP IN ARMS
St. Louis Chamber of Commerce Appeals to LandE Regarding Deal

St. Louis. July 2s (By The Asso- ciated Press)-A vigorous protest against the purchase by the New York Yankees Of Joe Dugan, inhelder. and Elmer Smith, outhelder, from Boston was sent yesterday to Commissioner l.andis, B. B. Johnson, president of the American league. and John L. Heydler. president Of the National league. by F. W. A. Vesper, president of the St. Louis Chamber of Con- rnerce.
 The statement follows:
 When a team, hard pushed in mid. season. can conjure neighboring city into selling its stars to make sure. proof their flag, baseball has reached a point where the pocketbook. and not the clubs or the players, becomes the deciding factor.
 If the holder of the highest purse is to decide the races, the sooner the game follows the tainted sports of the past the better. No red blooded American can cheer while team that purchases the pennant as the highest bidder, romps to victory over less for. tunate, smaller and consequently more moderately financed clubs.
 If the dollar mark is to be the em- blem of victory in the baseball world. the American people will have to take more seriously the detrimental dis closures of the past and fairly judge that it is true that baseball has sold its birthright.
 Certainly, organized baseball can obviate the condition that permits one competitive club to be indirectly under permanent financial obligation to an- other club or to those holding inter- ests in the same league. Can the fans cheer a contest between the debtor and creditor as genuine? Can the debtor be expected to participate while under threat of foreclosure?
 "The St. Louis Chamber of Com- merce is voicing it's protest to you be- cause we are sure that you and those who have lifted baseball to its popu- lar pedestal will seek some remedial methods so that the matter of win ming will continue to be decided on the field and not in the box office"

FAILS AT RECORD TRY
Frank L. Kramer, Veteran Cyclist, Soon to Retire, Loses by Scant Margin, Race Against Time.

New York, July 26-Frank Kram- CT, veteran of the cycle world, who for almost 30 years has ruled su- preme a-wheel in this country and Europe, began his swan song at the New York Velodrome last night. He rode one-sixth of mile exhibition lap in an attempt to beat his own record for that distance, and while he failed by scant margin of one fifth of second, the 10000 bike fans who turned out to witness his fare well gave him reception never be- fore rendered an athlete in this coun- try.

 Lefty Lew intends to polish up to- day with few cracks at punching bag and then sit down and dry out
 Tendler declined to predict the re- suit of the match, but he did not con- ceal that he feels resentment over the disparaging statements made by Leon- ard. "..
 If l am so poor a boxer, why is Leonard training so hard ?" the chal- lenger asked.
 This was Tenders last day of real work. He did not put in a full sched- ule, two of three sparring partners having been sent home to ease their ribs. He ran about two miles this morning and boxed three round this afternoon with Harry (Kid) Brown
 Tender, down to about 134 pounds last night, figured that he would be very close to 1855 Thursday afternoon.
 Tenders wife and IS months old son paid him an unexpected visit yes terday. The appearance of his family visibly eased the strain that has been evident in his demeanor for the last few days.
 The outstanding feature of Tend ler's training has been his grimness He admits he is on the verge of the greatest test Of his career. He sees no reason for talking derisively about Leonard and says his daily workouts speak for themselves.
 Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Charley White and other judges of form and condition who watched Tender yes terday pronounced him absolutely fit.
