1923 Jinx May
Get Leonard I'm
Tender Battle
BY JIENRY L. FARRELL,
U. 2. Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, July 19.-When
Benny Leonard goes into the ring
next Monday night to meet Lew
Tender he may take along with
him the iinX that 1923 seems to
have reserved as scourge for
champions.
Johnny Kilbane, Jimmy Wilde
and Jack Dempsey were victims OF
the jinX in varying degrees and
some who like to wander away from
facts an dfigure fate think that
the lightweight champion may be
the fourth on the list.
Leonard has enough, on his
hands to beat Tender without
stacking the cards against him, and
if the breaks go against him it
viii be no surprise to see the Phila
delphia southpaW go home with a
title.
In the parlance of the ring, the
promoters, of the fight say it is
natural" " They point to an
advance sale of nearly 100000
and they reasonably sound off
the expectation of a gate. of & half
million dollars.
In their fight over in Jersey,
one of the best of all lightweight
fights, Tender had his mental ap-
paratus stopped by the fast vocal
mechanism of the champion, and he
pulled up when one or two more
good soak would have had Benny
on the floor for keeps.
Leonard s fighting equipment
goes beyond his shoulders and Tend
Ter has never shown the ability to
think as fast as great fighter
should. 1t is the brain factor in
Leonard s favor that is making the
champion a 9 to $ favorite in the
betting to retain his title.
The champion will have to fight
differently next Monday night
than he did last sunmer. There
WAS no decision to figure at the end
of the Jersey fight and all Leonard
had to figure on was to be in
vertical position when the fight
ended.
The coming fight is to decision
and the judges and referees in New
York have shown no great respect
for titles in the past. Leonard
cannot remain on the defensive,
and he will have to do some fight
ing.

Cincinn ati Team
Alarms Fans In
Home of Giants
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, July 19-With the
Cincinnati Reds only two games
behind the New York Giants and
playing the best baseball lin the
National league, the New York fans
are becoming alarmed over the
plight of the worlds champions.
Odds are considered to be great
ly in favor of the Reds. The
schedule forces the Giants to make
two more western trips, while the
Reds have only one more "trip away
from home; the Giants have very
few games left with the soft teams,
while the Reds are practically
through with hard opposition. The
Red pitching staff is going like the
hest in the league and the Giant
leurlers are acting like the worst.
The Reds also have been going
along at terrific pace with a team
weakened by injuries.

spectacular as the navy's. Lieuts.
J.sP. Richter, Lowell Smith, Frank

sent Rockwell field, putting ON the
airplane refueling stunt which re-
Gently astonished the aviation
world.
The magnitude of the gymkhana
which will be the first event of its
kind ever held by. an American

the date draws near. The last of
the "a hour boxes was sold yester-
day, with demands for more. More

Railway officials have assured the
Gymkhana committee that the

Certified Auto
Market Proves
Logical Quit e t

Success of the Certified Auto
mobile Market recently established
in Ell Centre under the Appleby
plan is attributed to the economical
soundness of the plan on which it
is operated, according to those in
terested in the project. The mar
ket has the support of the new car
dealers many of whom are now us
ing it as an outlet for their used
cars.
"The bane of the automobile in
dustry has been the condition into
which the used car business has
fallen and the certified market will,
we now feel certain,'' said deal
er yesterday, "take care of the
situation. Under this plan the
dealer availing himself of the IA
eilities afforded by the certified
market can clear his used cars
through that medium and devote his
own time to his own business of
selling new ears and giving proper
service with them instead of being
constantly faced with the problem
of selling used ears which he has
accumulated through trades.
'"The certified market is run on
a non-profit basis which naturally
means fair bargains for buyers and
every ear on sale has also been
conditioned by the dealer represent
ing that make. The whole object
of the market is to instill confid-
ence in the used car and make it
a stable article of merchandise just
as home that had been lived in
by someone else before you bought
it. Just because ear has been
used is no reason why it should not
have real value and give lots of
service, Reliability is what we want
most to establish and if we can
put the sale of used ears on a basis
where both buyer and seller will
always get value for value, we will
have accomplished our most earn
est desire.'

ACCIDENTAL SHOT

Last Tuesday afternoon Louis Barnes,
young son of DR.. l.. A. Barnes of Silt,
was seriously injured by the accidental
explosion of a shotgun which he was
carrying in Ford car as he started
on hunting trip.
The gun was dropped from the car
and discharged, sending the contents
into the boys left leg, tearing an
ugly cash, although no bones were
broken. Six of the shots penetrated
the skin in the forehead, and the
boys escape from death is considered
little short of miraculous.
The young man was brought at once
to the Glenwood sanitarium and given

progress toward recovery.
