Wonder What Mertz Will Say Today? 17, Will Be Delivered By the shape for the bout against Lew Ten- dler 1n the Garden tomorrow night. Friedman says that it wasn't his hand at all that caused the calling off of the Dundee fight, but merely the wishes of men higher up. However that may be, the injured fist looks to be entirely useful, so much so that so far as the writer is concerned Tendler can have the doubtful pleasure of sticking his jaw in the way of it. Speaking of fists, the fans will be terested to loox over Tendler's knuckles when he arrives in New York Friday morning. They have not §t00d the battering they have been called upon to do in the course of the years as well as might be. But an op- | eration is said to have corrected all damage-and to leave Lew with all his pristine punching power. When a fighter's tools begin to go | back on him he is in @ bad way.t Benny Leonard’s rignt fist is said to( be causing the champion a lot of quiet | worry. He busted his thumb In tr: ing for the Tendler oout in Philly and ige just now beginning to enter the ring after a long lay-off caused by the fracture.
