Ieonard,s Final Words.

Rudd Lake N. J., July 26.-As he was packing up his tralnlng camp duds today Champion Benny Leonard gave out the following statement to sporting writers:
 fl have never felt better in my life and will enter the ring against Tend \ler in the same shape that l was in theA night dethroned Freddie Welsh. I suppose Tender is in the pink hin- self I hope so, inasmuch as I feel the fans ought to see a real fight for their money. I am going to try my hardest to finish Tender and feel cer- tain that my speed and cleverness combined with my punching ability and ring generalship will turn the trick for me"
 Billy Gibson, the champions man. ager, said;
 knock him daffy before the tenth round is reached. Can you imagine a southpaw trying to take Geonards crown. The fight will be a joke. Just mark my word"
 Tender Finishes Work Today.
 De1ano, N J., July 26.-A bit of polishing up today, and Lew Tender, Philadelphia challenger will be in tip top shape for what he hopes will be victory over Benny Leonard, light weight champion in their worlds title The challenger will be the same sort of southpaw battler he always has been when he steps into the ring : at BoyIe's Thirty Acres. He has spent  CT into his powerful left arm and wee bit more of coordination into his right He says he has succeeded.
 Tender is bent on continuing with ping tactics from close range His sparring bouts show it. His pet diver sion is caving in somebody's super structure and he evidently will carry on the same sort of struggle that has made his campaign to be the logical contender 8 successful one.
