IB0B MARTIN HONORED BY W. VA. GOVERNOR Verdict Now Awaited in the Ruth Controversy : Kansas Confident of Defeating Tendler IBELIEVES LONG ROUTE WILL HURT SOUTHPAW BY FAIRPLAY. N EW YORK, October 19.—A glance at Rocky Kansas as he arrived at the crucial point of his training today for Friday night's battle against Lew Tendler reveals a rugged young battler who thinks he can take all that Tendler can hand out and himself slip over one of his clublike fare-thec-wells. Whatever one may hand him on prospects of presenting the Philadelphian southpaw with a knock-out, it is certain that he is in shape to play the part of receiver. Rocky thinks that because Tendler has never fought over the fiftesn- round limit'he will be at a great disadvantage; that after Lew has travelled hie usual toute, which has ranged between six and eight rgunds, with two excursions along thé ten- vound highway, he will find the rest of the grade too steep to climb. He figures that Tendler can't hurt him and that he can wear the southpaw down. That may be so, but the fact is that Lew Tendler was never in better shape than he is right now. He is up at the peak of kis form, and if ever he was qualified to get.by such oppo- nents as Kinsas and face Benny Leonard for the championship, it is right now. He is a real southpaw CHARLESTON. W.
