Leonard has been working out with southpaw boxers in order to accustom himself to the style of { h right hand and right foot forward. The night of August 12 will tell whether or not the champion has solved But it may be said right now that the boys onard is working against are by no means the lefthand artists that Tendler is. Can Tendler cross that I a rough evening. How does a clever right-handed boxer fare against a left-handed fighter as a general proposition? We A asked this question of Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. O'Brien fought Stan- ley Ketchell, and so Jack ought to know. Ketchell could fight from either side. left or right. When he was up against a clever fighter like O'Brien he would shift from one side to the other. In the fight in question Phila- delphia Jack carried along all right with Stanley for a while, but when he stuck his right maulie and his right dog to the fore, well—but let Jack tell it himself.

I kept jabbing at Stan- ley. however, trying to work through, when suddenly he clipped me in the stomach with his right and then shot the left over for a knockout. “Do I think Leonard will be both- ered by Tendler's style?

The only bad <clip he ever got since he was cham- pion was the time Richle Mitchell | nafled him. and that was due to overconfidence. “But Leonard is getting into the velter class; he can't make weight 8 easily as he used to. He may find himself unable to go the eight rounds at top speed. Whether he does or not he has got to keep an eye on Tendler. who, as I have said, i® his closest rival. Temdler Is Clever Fighter. “As to Tendler, he had an opera- tion over a year ago and has not fought a great deal since. Maybe this will prove to have set him back some. But I dom’t think so. I lool to see him in great form. If he is, then [ expect his peculiar style to bother the New Yorker. And. of course, in addition to his style, Tend- ler is very fast and a hard hitter.
