NEW YOK. June is. (UP)-It was
Fathers day at the Polo Grounos
and all manner and size of athletes
were going through their PAGES in
great carnival of sports.
Alice Marble played tennis, Greg
Rice ran two miles. golf balls were
struck by experts, leaGen balls were
thrown by brawny young men. foot
balls were kicked and passed by
Charley ORourke. Sid Luckman and
Ken Strong.
But the best gift that any Of the
thousands of fathers got yesterday
was the sight of two men-fat and
bald-facing each other and wear
.ng boxing gloves. Somebody had
thought to make father q gift OF
a memory; someone turned time
backward and let Kim see some
thing that he had seen. talked about
or read about 10 Ions years ago.
Benny Leonard fought Lew Tend
Ter again!
They didn't exactly fight. They
spared and clowned and grinned.
and the youngsters in the STANDS
thought ii was funny.
But here and there in the Poo
Grounds sat a middle-aged man
who watched the bout with far
away look in his eyes. He saw Leon
ard and Tender. not fat and forty
ish, but trim and lean as they were
on the June day in 1922 when they
went u terrific rounds at Boyles
Thirty Acres in Jersey City.
1t was one Of those fights that
leaves a legend. and the legend OF
that one was that Benny Leonard,
born Benjamin Leiner and destlll-
ed TO retire as undefeated light
weight champion of the world. was
the fastest thinking man who ever
crawled through the ropes. When
he couldn't win 'em with his fists,
he won EN- with his brains.
Lew Tender was a Southpaw out
of Philadelphia tricky, hardhit-
ting guy who was ready TO go all
out for the lightweight title. No
decisions were permitted in New
Jersey in 1922 and the only way
Tender could convince the world
that he was a better man than
Leonard was to score a knockout
He almost did
1t was the eighth round when
Tender rocketed hard one TO the
chin and came through a second
later with crusher to the body.
Leonard's knees buCkled and he
wobbled along the ropes. The crowd
relied for a knockout and Tender
tore in Years later Leonard told
what happened next.
My job was TO make him think
of something else. SO I started
talking to him:
mice punch, Lew
What did you say?'
81 said that was a nice punch.
Quit kidding and come on and
fight
I'm not kidding. That really
was good punch.
II don't know what We said after
that, but it doesn't make any diff
ference. That little talk We had
made Tender quit punching just
long enough for me TO get back
into the fight started jabbing him
and pretty soon l vas all right
Most newspapermen at the ring
side gave the fight to Leonard. The
next year Benny made it official
by laying his title on the line at
Yankee Stadium and winning IL
Is rounds before a crowd that paic
S452, ,o0o-largest gate ever attracted

GERMANS QUIET

BERLIN, Jan. g. Up Every
body in Europe except the Ger
mans seemed to be talking about
the Balkans tonight.
Not a single authentic inkling of
what, if anything, the German
army in the southeast intends to do
came from any authoritative quar-
ter. Spokesman smiled at the flood
of rumors some of which were
termed fantastic.
Its a splendid fog and others
made it for u.s." said one.
This confirmed a general i'm
preston among correspondents
that German authorities rather
welcomed the welter of rumors as
a screen behind which to perfect
any plans.
One definite observation made
was that the presence of German
aviators in Italy who could con-
ceivably operate with land troops
in the Balkans does not weaken the
air force which is devoting its at
tention to England.
On the contrary, it was stated
officially that replacement of avia-
tors was no problem; that German
training periods had not been
shortened and that Germany was
not able even to use all those who
had volunteered for. air service.
