LEONARD-TENDLER
NEGOTIATIONS OFF
Local contender's Refusal Of
Guarantee crimps Match,
Probably for All Time
WANTED TO TAKE GAMBLE
By LOUIS II. JAFFE

APPROPRIATIONS for n Leonard
~ Tender bout are absolutely off
This is the official information received
today from! New York City, coming
from the headquarters of Tex Rickart
and Frank Flourney in the Madison
Square Garden.
| Phil Glassman. Tenders manager
says that the New York promoters re.
fused to concede to his proposition OF
boxing on percentage basis and be
cause of that fact "there'll be No
fight
The final effort made by Flourney to
get Tenders consent for crack at
the lightweight champion in Boyle's
Thirty Acres. Jersey City. July i. was
made over the long distance phone.
Again an offer Of S62. 800 was made
for the Phlladelphians share Of a
twelve-round, no o-decision bout, and
once moro Glassman turned down the
fiat guarantee.
As a result, Flourney has announced
that he had washed his hands OF the
whole affair and would devote his time
to finding another opponent for Leon.
ard"
In refusing the 500, 800 guarantee,
Glassman explains he Informed Flour
ney that he wanted 25 per cent Of the
gate receipts and would permit Tender
to meet Leonard under no other ar
rungements.
"They Gun take that or leave it,
says Tenders manager; II don't think
it is an unreasonable demand on our
part, inasmuch as Tender, in this par
ticular match. Is as necessary to the
financial success of the affair as Leon
ard himself.
Leonard can find no other opponent
anywhere in the world who would begin
to compare with Tender as draw
ing card. If Tender fails to draw, we
are willing, through percentage ar
rangement. to abide by the result,
which might mean that We would have
to accept good deal, less than the
S8o, 500 Rickard and Flourney have Of
fered us.
"If our percentage should amount to
only $1,000, We wouldn't kick.
1--WE are not afraid Of Leonard. or
Gibson either, and we are not trying
to run out of this match, as some
sports writer's in New York state.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1922-05-12

However, Tender and I are not in th,
boxing business for pleasure or for lun
and we are not sentimentaists.
when Tender boxes I always ain
to protect his interests. and that il ex
actly what am doing when refuse the
guarantee offered me.
Il know that $50 800 is a LOT of
money, and if our ~ per cent amounts
to that or even less. we'll be satisfied.
All we want is our share of the gate on
that basis. and we'll get it or there II
be no fight"
All of which means that the chances
Of Tender and Leonard meeting in tho
ring stripped for action look slim, not
only this summer but probably for ali
time.
After Leonard's match with Rocky
Kansas in Michigan City, Ind, july
4. the lightweight title-holder's next
bout in the open air is to be with Jack

FRESH TRAIL

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. "a
The new evidence that the Somerset
and Aiiddlesex county authorities
have unearthed within the last few
weeks was supplemented yesterday
by more important facts, and the
entire case will be placed before the
Somerset grand jury on January 3.
The evidence has been found within
The city limits OF New Brunswick
and points directly along the new
lines the investigation has recently
taken.
Working apart from the State Of
ficisls, and IN conjunction with Som
erset county officers, the police here
have been able to clear up several
heretofore unexplained circum-
stances. They need one or two
minor details 10 make their evidence
binding and effective.
One story in circulation here was
that witnesses had been found who
told Of a shooting within the city
limits about 10 O'Clock on the night
OF September IA. They say that after
the firing OF four shots. a sedan car
was seen speeding toward the Phil
lips farm. Several persons were in
the car, none OF whom was recog-
nized. It was Also learned that al
though split has occurred between
the county officials and Prosecutor
Mott the detectives OF the two coun-
ties are working in harmony. De-
tective George Totten OF Somerset
has been in conference several times
with Ford A David, chief detective
OF Afiddlesex, and they have been
working along the same lines for
more than a week. Some phases OF
the case can be handled IN Somer-
vile and the rest must be cared for
In New Brunswick.

It is understood that the signing of the drilling con- tracts follows the securing of infor- nation about the field as the re- suit of intensive exploration by gov ernment geologists and engineers, as well as by engineers representing the Westward Development Co.,, and the three oil companies previously mentioned. These preliminary in vestigations and expert examinations have definitely established the lines of the oil areas to be developed and furnished satisfactory evidence that there was nothing improper about the locations and applications of the per mittees About sixty men will be eventually associated in the actual development work on the ground.
