Leonard Can't Keep
Tender Off After
Friday Nights Go
Leu Wdllops Dundee and
Shoes CldSS-Fitz Says He
Has EN- Matched.
15y HENRY FARRELL.


NEW YORK. May 6.-Perhaps It isn't
so much because he is a money grabber
that Benny Leonard doesn't like Lefty
Lew Tender
Johnny Dundee cold In fifteen rounds
last night. the Philadelphia southPaw
showed that he can do more with his
dukes than pick up forfeits and win de-
cigions on the typewriter,
Leonard has done about a dozen num-
! oers with the bouncing Dundee and he
never did maui up the Italian the way
phia graduate of the newsboys' home
didn't knock Dundee out, but in weather.
Ing the worst storm he has encountered
In his career the Italian added the last
toughest fighter in the ring. After see
ing the performance Of his two logical
opponents" the lightweight champion
might be pardoned for thinking up q lot
about him as reasons why he should not
fight him.
On his form last night Tender has q
right TO go Into court to get bout with
Leonard. charging restraint OF trade or
some other technical grounds. He has
every right TO demand a chance Tor the
title.
Al 1875 pounds the champion would have
the time Of his young life keeping away
from the shower of gloves that fell on
Dundee last night like a cloudburst from
the first round. Leonard hasn't the en-
durAnce or the strength of Dundee TO
withstand such a terrific body attack, and
1t is no slight on Leonard to say that
he hasn't the heart OF Dundee, lecause
no fighter in the ring has one like 1t.
On the other hand, Tender could never
take Leonard's right on the chin whore
Dundee landed several times. However,
It must be reck oned that Tender might
have been careless against Dundee know
Ing the Italian 10 have nothing behind his
kicks. and he might have been leaving an
ope Ing Intentionally 10 draw Dundee In
to him.
FLOYD F1tEsmmons says the Leonard
Tender bout is all set for Michigan City

Kenth williams, the smuggling out
delder OF the ST. Louis Browns, in one
weeks time made nine home runs. In
setting modern record he made three
home runs in one game and two in an
other. In one of the seven games he
failed to make a circuit clout.
Last Saturday in the eight games
played in the American apd National
Leagues thirteen home runs were made.
In only one game, that between Detroit
and Chicago, did a player fail to hit a
homer. In the four games in the Amer
can Association Thursday ten homers
were scored.
This slugging has caused the question
to be revived as to the elimination Of
the lively ball. Thirteen home runs in
one day has caused many of the fans to
believe that the lively Lau Is still doing
business.
In the games that have umpired
so far this year 1T has seemed to
me that the standard of tho balls has
varied considerably.
In some games | would reach the con-
clusion that the ball In use was far In
ferior to the ball of last year from the
standpoint of carrying qualities. Bat
tsrs apparently would meet the ball on
the nose. and yet the ball wouldn't carry.
Balls that started as it bent on clear
ing the stands would, resolve themselves
into easy outs.

GREGG is TRYING COMEBACK

SEATTLE, Wash, May 6.-Vean Gregg
left handed pitcher, after three years
voluntary retirement from professional
baseball, is essaying a comeback under
an early tutor, Walter McCredie, of the
Seattle club in the Pacific Coast League.
Thus far Gregg has sustained all ad-
vance notices His pitching has been of
a high order wild streaks few, and his
old curves still piltng up strikeouts in
emergencies.
Greggs career was a mixture of pitch
ing and plastering until 1909 when he
signed with the Spokane club in the old
Northwestern League. The next season,
with Portland in the Coast League.
Gregg amassed a worlds record of $40
strikeOuts in 397 innings.
With Cleveland in 1911 Gregg finished
second among the league pitchers with
twenty-three wins and seven losses. The
next two seasons he finished with aver
ages of COG. The Boston Red Sox took
Gregg in 1915. sent him to the Buffalo
club in 1916, then recalled him for the
world series that year after he pitched
and won several few hit games.
After playing with Providence in 1917
Gregg was sent TO the Athletics in 1913
in a trade. Late that year he injured
himself and despite Connie Mack's If
forts to retain him for coaching young
pitchers Gregg failed to report in 1918,
and farmed for the next three years

ILLINOIS SQUAD STRONG
BY HENRY FARRELL.

NEW YORK, May 6-Pronounced
mumbles sounding like You're in for
the grand sock" are moving Eastward
from the West.
After several industrious seasons proving
Eastern football supremacy is a myth
the Westerners are preparing to continue
their demonstrations in track and row.
ing.
The East is about willing now to con-
cede the track and field crown Of the
year to the West and the main hope
is to keep the impending defeat from
becoming a rout.
California, the champions of 1921, viii
move on the Intercollegiate again this
year, accompanied by a powerful ally in
Stanford to uphold the reputation Of
the Native Sons"
Illinois, Chicago and Ohio State proba-
bly, will carry the colors of he West
ern Conference and few representatives
of the South are expected to fall in line
and mop up what is left by the first
waves.
Middle Western universities were plan
ming on giving the Easter championships
a bouncing boycott this year because the
Eastern colleges turned up their noses

Instead of staying away as frSl
planned, every team in the Middle WesN
with chance of taking fall out of the
East Will hop the tram and set out Tor
what they figure a sWeeter comeback to
the artistocracy.
California and Stanford are known
powers. 1t is doubtful if any single
team in the East viii be able to beat
either. In the Drake relays, Illinois
looked all powerful and Ohio State looked
to be formidable for several events with
the squad that represented the Buckeye
institution at the Penn relays. Notre
Dame also has a fine team
While the East is ready to accept the
penalty on the track, there Is some in
clination to scott at the presumption OF
Washington in intimating that the crew
which beat California for the Pacific
championship is destined TO take away
the honors at Poughkeepsie.

In other games exactly opposite con-
dltions would prevail. Every time &
player met the ball 1t would seem to
carry. The ball would remind you Of
the lively article in use last season.
There are two possible solutions for
the orgy Of home runs that Is now featur
ing major league play. One Is the late
spring that has retarded the work of the
pitchers. The other may be attributed to
the fact that two types Of balls are Lreak-
Ing into the early spring games.
League clubs buy their basebails by
the gross. A club often gets from
Ave to twenty-five gross at one time.
1t is just possible that some clubs
still have left over from last year
the 1921 brand.
Then again consideration must be
given to the grounds on which the home
runs are being made. 1t is not a diff
cult matter to pull ball into the right
field stands at the Polo Grounds, In New
Louis are a trife farther, but many q
towering fly that is good for home run
at ST. Louis would lie an out on great
many other parks.
Baseball fans like home runs but can
be overfed on them. Too many such
drives cheaper the value of the circuit
wallop. l am inclined to think the home
run clip will ease up considerably with
