Leonard Tender Bout for
July or August in
Making.

NEW YORK, June Sex Rick
ard has opened negotiations with
Billy Gibson, manager of the worlds
champion, Benny Leonard. and Phil
Glassman, manager Of Lew Tend.
Ter, Leonard's leading contender
for the title. with the object of ar.
ranging a match between the rivals
to be held in July or August. No
date has been set, and it was said
at the Garden that the proceed
ings are still in the preliminary
stage. A representative of Richard
asserted that nothing definite had
been accomplished, but he init.
mated that the negotiations had
advanced sufficiently to warrant
the assertion that the match would
be made in the immediate future.
It is understood that Richard
contemplates putting the bout on
at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey
City, but just what date he has in
mind could not be ascertained.
Leonard and Tender fought in
Jersey City last summer and put
up a thrilling battle for twelve
rounds.
Leonard gained the popular YER
dict, but not until he had been
compelled to resort to all his ring
craft to keep Tender from knock
ing him out Tender forced the
fighting during the early rounds
and until the bout was half over
had a comfortable lead in points.
1t was only a rousing finish by
the champion that gained the YER
dict for him.
1t is figured that a return match
between the rivals would prove one
Of the biggest attractions it would
be possible to arrange. The first
bout attracted close to a capacity
crowd and there has been a popu-
lar demand for return engage
ment ever since.
