Physical Comparison

the jaw and the blow shook the former
newsboy.
With Tender in daze, Benny flew
at the Philadelphian with a series of
punches to the head and clnch fol-
lowed. The titleholdcr missed right
as his opponent poked in hook to the
jaw.
Tender talked to the ropes. Leon
ard recovered quickly and tore at his
adversary, landing with right that
made the portsider sway.
The champion had his foe on the
ropes and he rf1ed blows to the head
and body. But Tender kept his feet.
Tender made game and vicious finish,
but the round belonged to Leonard.
At the start Of the eleventh, Benny
missed two right leads. He then scored
with a hard uppercut.
Try for Knockout

ing his utmost for Knockout. He shot
over three straight rights to Tenders
head in rapid succession, but each O,
the punches was blocked
, With Tender showing such bril-
liant defense, the foxy champion again
resorted to his clever boxing. Leonard
had much the better Of the round.
While resume of the battle up to
the final frame showed Leonard with
five rounds. Tender with four and two
even, the big advantage gained by the
challenger in the eighth entitled him TO
anevcn break for hostilities, with the
last round still to be decided.
So that. in reality, the margin of
Lconard's victory was that Of his ad.
vantage displayed in the final three
minutes, during which the champion
tried his hardest to get over at least a
knockd0wn wallop.
Leonard opened the final frame with

Benny tried to punch rapidly, mostly
with rights to the head. and in his
anxiety to get over II telling punch he
fell to the floor.
While Leonard was doing most of the
fighting as the bell sounded ending the
russ; he was no stronger, If as strong,
as the challenger.
"SOutllpaw Hard to Solve"
The only thing the bout went to prove
was that Leonard was away off when
he beittled the Philadelphia south
paw, because he admitted immediately
after. the bout. "A southpaw's style
certainly is hard to solve"
Also. it was demonstrated to that
large gathering in Boyc'S Thirty Acres
that Tender, the southpaw, is far from
being the 'Bimbo" Leonard believed
him to be.
Furthermore, there is little doubt in
the minds of most of the fans that
Leonard is not the same inyincible
boxer he has been in the past and that
Tender continues TO threaten his world
lightweight championship.
There were two preliminary bouts.
each of which was cut short. not be. |

Fighters and Managers

Benny Ieonard--Tendler is n
tougher fellow than I imagined. He
IL strong and game. lie did not
hurt me with his body blows, but he
annoyed me by hitting low repeat
edly. think every one will admit
that solved his southpaw style. I
have no alibi to offer, but my friends
know I went into the ring suffering
from n heavy cold and could not
seem to get going right until the
eighth round.
Lew Tendler--I think ! satisfied
everybody that I am Leonard's mas
ter. I finished fresh and strong. His
blows did not hurt me. I know in
my heart I could knock out the
champion in finish bout. 1t Is only
question Of getting him in some
State that permits decisions.
Billy Gibson (Leonard's manager)
Benny was not himself by a long
way. He went into the bout with
heavy cold. But / am sure every
fair minded fan will agree that the
champion was entitled to a decision
had one been rendered. Leonard had
more difficulty than he anticipated
in solving Tenders peculiar style.
From the eighth round on Benny
gave Lew sound lacing
Phil Glassman (Tendler's man.
ager)-I am satisfied that ! have the
next lightweight champion of the
world. 1t is only a question of get
ting Leonard to box Tender some-
where where decisions ore tolerated
Harry Ertle--I am not permitted
to intimate an opinion as to the rel
alive abilities Of the principals.
Leonard and Tender fought fairly.
and I am sure every spectator must
have realized that he had witnessed
one of the very finest lightweight
bouts Of ten years.
