TENDLER SUSPENDED
BY BOXING MOGULS
His Unsatisfactory Bout With
Pitts Leads to Action: Man.
ager in Same Boat.
BY CHARLES T.. MATHIsoN.

As result of his unsatisfactory bout
with Charlie Pitts in the Broadway
Exhibition Association Club last Mon
day night. Lew Tender. the Philadel-
phia lightweight. yesterday was sus-
suspended by the New York state Ath-
letic Commission. Phil Glassman. Ten
dler's manager, was also suspended.
They are to be given a hearing.
Tender was disqualified in this bout
by the referee in the seventh round
because of foul, which was seen only
by the referee.
There Is 10 be boxing in Ebbets Field
during the warm weather. but only in
the daytime This was made evident
yesterday when a representative of the
Brooklyn ball club called on the Boxing
commissioners and asked If it would be
worth while making application for
license. The Commissioners gave the
Ebbets Field caller to -'rderstand that
0 license would be issue
1t will be remembe~ed that Ebbets
and the McKcevers surrendered their
license following the dso.te between the
Commission and the Inter ational port
ing Club over the Herna'.-Lynch fiasco.
However as the baseball men we're in
no respect responsible lie Commission
evidently is OF the opinion that the Field
is entitled TO a reissuar.e OF its license.

Bob realizes his right ! Ind is ineffective
and he will endeavor to develop right
hand wallop for the special benefit of
Reeves.
It is questionable IL Young Bon can
learn any new tricks now. Old Eob's
effective hand was his lyft. and u the
son had inherited that left hand lunch
that won the title for his father all
would be we'll.
There Is apparently no good reason
why Johnny Buff should box Johnny
.Grtlc. The st. Paul pretender TO the
bantam m title never was recognized as
the champion. George Barton. referee
OF the kid Williams Ert'e match. never
declared that the blow with which Will
Jams put i1rtle on the floor was foul.
As 4 matter of fact, Barton made no
decision whatever. and Ertle In leaving
the ring automatically disqualified him
self. Williams was heavy body
puncher and had never oeen accused OF
low hitting. Trustworthy ringsiders de-
cared the blow landed In the pit OF
lGrtle's stomach. aud as he cuTlcd up on
the floor his manager, Mike McNulty.
1 yelled"Foul !'at the top Of his voice. Ertle
was helped to his corner and then left
the ring. When Barton was queried as
i 80 r. hat, fafr l1a Il
he had not made a decision on that
point. Had the referee decided the blow
was foul williams would have been
automatically disqualified and the title
gone TO Ertle. Barton's lack OF action
left Ertle in the position of leaving the
ring and refusing 10 continue.
Ertle never possessed class. for he
was sha ded by Zulu Kid. VINO was out
weighed by eight pounds. frankie
Burns In the declining yesrs OF his
career stopped Ertlc in Jig time.
If Pal Moore ever gets a match with
Johnny Buff the latter's pantam title
will be slapped away from linn. Moore
Is the champion open glove slaprer Of
the world and while his methods arc
discountenanced by all boxing rules yet
no American referee has seen ft to
penalize him. On only one occasion
was Moore compelled to cease slapping
with the open glove and that was when
he boxed in England. He was
threatened with disqualification by the
British referee and promptly discarded
his Illegal tactics. American referees
permit Moore to slap to his hearts con-
tent. and Buff will be without his BAN
tam title IL he gets into the ring with
Mo ore.
