In this respect it would appear that Edward Leader, success- ful coach at the University of Wash- ington, who was brought to Yal ast winter, has shown the more enlight- ened policy.

Club officials estimated that the fight would attract a gate of $400,- 000 and on this basis Leonard would receive about $150,000 and Tendler $50,000.. Tendler and Leonard have been bitter rinz rivals for a long time. They fought a slashing twelve-round no-deciston bout at Boyle's 30 Acres last July, in which the champion was credited with a narrow margin of victory, although the Philadel: phian had him on the verge of a knockout in the cighth round. Leonard returned to the ring re- cently after several months of idle- ness and knocked out Pinkle Mitchell of Milwaukee in Chicago. 32 ROUNDS OF BOXING AT SPORTLAND SHOW | Thirty-two rounds o? fighting, fea- turing Al Ward, Fort Myer boxer, end Marty Barrett, middleweight, of the metropolitan police force of New York city, in a ten-round affair, will be staged at Sportland Heights trena, Berwyn, Md..

Be- cause of the fact that the club turned down the proposal to purchase the additlonal property, a proposed amendment to incre: the dues to | $160 a year was tabled. ~Charles J. | Bell, a member of the board, explain- ed that if the club did not spend money to purchase additlonal land, the increase in revenue which would be brought about by the ralse in dues, would not be necessary. * The club three weeks ago obtained an option on the property as a re- sult of efforts extending over two years on the part of 2 committee ap- | pointed to find a suitable site. C. L. Marlatt, one of the speakers at ' the meeting vesterday, criticized tho selection of the land, pointing out that it was not well suited for golf} purposes, being fairly low, and that | probably it was not eminently suited | for growing turf. He declared that, aithough the price agreed upon for its purchase was $350 an acre, by adding the value of the improvements to the property. including the house, a total of $36,000 would be added to its cost, making a total cost of more than $425 an acre. Mr. Marlatt said that if the olub needed to obtain other property for golf purposes it would do well to go further west on high ground. Other speakers at the meeting, which lasted nearly two hours, in cluded Judge G. T. Perkins., Dr. G Browne Miller and Alexander Brit- | ton, president of the club. VILLA-GENARO BOUT | NOW BEING PLANNED NEW YORK, June 20.—Plans are under v, according to Tom O'Rourke, Polo Grounds matchmaker, for another flyweight title bout, bringing together Pancho Villa, the new champion, who toppled Jimmy Wilde from the throne, and Frankie Genaro of New York, who won the | {American 112-pound crown from the | Filipino last March. Villa has signed ! for the match, which O’'Rourke plans | to_stage about September 1. Though still weak and brulsed from the terrific punishment he ab- sorbed in losing his title to Villa, Wilde was declared by physiclans to be in no danger from his injuries. Propped up in bed in his Jersey City {quarters the little Welshman was able to receive a few of his close triends. | Wilde's left was {right eve nearly so gash on his cheek, a long on his chin testified to the force {with which he plunged to the can- vi Villa's kuockout blow in h round ed figures on the champion- {ship bout. announced by promoters, {placed t tand receipts at $94.500, considerably |below the totals of 40,000 for the crowd and $160,000 for the receipts as was first estimated. On the basis of the new figures, Wilde's share, 3715 per cent, was about $36,000, and Vilia's 12% per cent amounted to $12.000. {ILLINOIS BOXING BILL KILLED BY SENATE SPRINGFIELD, Iil. June state senate last night kilied the house blll intended to legalize boxing in Iliinols. : Despite the stringent law which has barred the sport for a score of years since a notorious fake fight, boxing recently was revived, and aided by injunctions against the law, flourlshed until a few weeks ago, when the Benny Leonard-Pinkey Mitchelt contest ended in a free-for- all ight.

Except for the second flooring of the ring, the big shell is nearly ready. The flooring will not be put down until just before the fight to prevent warping by rain and sun. With a width of twenty feet inside the ropes, the ring will be the smallest in which either Dempsey or Gib- ]hons ever fought. The size of the ring is regulated by a Montana state aw.
