LEW TENDLER TO MEET LEONARD NEXT SUMMER [ Southpaw’s Unsatisfactory Showing Against Mo- ran Due to Improper Training—Champion May Meet White and Walker First. BY FAIR PLAY. EW YORK, January Insiders today are counting heavily upon a Leonard-Tendler engagement this ‘summer. Ordinarily Lew’s un- satisfactory showing against Pal Moran would have set him back in the-estimation of those whose views determine a fighter's attractive- ness from the standpoint of gate receipts. But the fact is that the Phila- delphia southpaw held Pal too lightly and did not train as he should. _ This is not to say that Lew neglected diet and gymnasium exercises, but he did not, it is said, spend a single day on the road, and, as a conse- quence, when Moran was doing his in-and-out stuff Tendler looked as though he was anchored to the floor.

RYAN WAS HITTING STAR BACK IN THE OLD DAYS BY FREDERI of fans, but who left a deep Ryan, slashing outfielder of A CK_G. LIEB. PLAYER whose name is only a memory to the present generation impress on the game, was Jimmy the Chicago Nationals in the late eighties and nineties, and a player who stood the gaff of big league strife for a period of eighteen years. In his younger days, Ryan was a on “ole Cap Anson, hitting ace. He was one of the few player who loved to play his pranks but after the brotherhood war Jimmy was Anson’s members of the great Chicago team of the late eighties who stuck to Anson and his White Stockings during the bratherhood insurrection. Ryan's record as a big leaguer is one of the most notable of any of the old- time stars. He played in over 2,000 big league encounte seored over 1,600 runs, cracked out over 2,5 ing nearly a se: 440 bases. That's accomplishing something during a b ball lifetime. There are very few plavers who stole 440 bases. They can be counted on your two hands. Ryan's big league activities were lim- ited to Chicago and Washington. Way back in 1856, Ryan spent his first Na- tional league season with the Wash- ington and Chicago clubs. He remained a Cub unti] the National League war. He was idle in 1901, but completed his career with two seasons with the Wash- ington Americans. 5 During Jimmy's long career as a big Jeaguer he played on only one cham- pionship team, his first -season, with Chicago in 1886. : Ryan hit over .30) in his first five vears in the Nation-l League, dropped out two years, and then slapped out seven more .300 averages in succession. All told, Ryan hit over .300 in thirteen of his seventeen active seasons, and in the entire seventeen years he drove out 100 hits or more in each campaign. | century of hits a season for every year he played is a remarkabe record never approached by such stars as Anson, Cobb, Wagner, Lajoie and Keeler. Ryan scored over 100 runs in nine seasons, six of them being in'succession In 1889 he carried over 140 Chicago runs, and nine years later almost duplicated this high mark, scoring 136 markers for the Cubs in 1808. Jimmy broke into the National Leagie with a bang, playing his first game on May 5, 1886. He cracked out one hit in four times up, but in his first three games he scored five runs and smacked out five hits in thirteen times up. It didn't take Ryan long to let the league know he had arrived. Ryan hit for 200 or more bases in | thirteen out of his seventeen years in the majors and as you will note his aver- ages, he was a Very consistent hitter. _ “JIMMY” RYAN’S MAJOR LEAGUE BATTING RECORD.

For example, as a result of funds received from the gates in the open and_the amateur championships the U. S. G.

Surely a happy position, compared with the British, whose Wal- ker cup team was sent here last sum- mer on the basis of subscriptions, which, according to recent report from 'London, were inadequate to cover the full cost of the invasion.

If this is true, there would seem to be no reason why the associa- Amateur sport conducted purely in the interests of the gate may be regarded as pure amateur sport only by courtesy. But it is perfectly legitimate that funds should be raised through the admis- sion plan, especially when moneys thus derived are employed in the ad- pultry income of the U. S. G. A. Is striking. To be precise, it was brought out at the annual mieeting of the associa- tion that income from gate receipts at the open and amateur title tourneys amounted to $23,193. A fine showing for golf. But Were this sum the total earnings of most other amateur sports, the welkin would reverberate with howls of dismay. —_— RACE AT DEVONSHIRE.
