PHILADELPHIA, June Lew
Tenders right will be his trump
fist when he steps into the rims
ats Greater shibe Park on the night
cf June to try to awenge the only
knockout Of his fistic career il
combat with Jack Zivic, OF Pitts
burg. At least that's the indication
given by the training PAGES through
which the veteran southpaw is
stepping daily.
Each member Of the staff OF
sparring partners who mingle with
Lefty Lew concentrates on trying
to break through the Tender guard
with a left hook. His punch
absorbers have instructions to emu
late the ring. style of Zivic.
The Pittsburgh lad convinced
Tender that the Zivic left IS the
dynamite that upset him last
January. In other words, Lefty
Lew seems to figure he need not
figure Zlyic's right.
Tender .is training fer the Smoky
City lad in much the same manner
that he worked when he whipped
himself into shape for Mickey
Walker last year. < Walker is tam.
GUS for, his left hook. Against the
champion g year ago, Tender sur.
prised many followers by smother
ing. Walkers left with his own
right. He hopes to do the same
against zlvic and has changed his
fighting style accordingly to offset
the Pittsburgh lads left.
The Tender right must be faster
and more accurate than the zivic
left to beat Jack to the punch and
it is with this in view that Lefty
Lew is devoting more attention to
his right punches than left.
