BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK, July 24--One reason why New York annually receives N the unanimous vote of the fraternity of confidence men, green goods artists and the like, as the best all-year-round resort in the country was made clear at the Yankee stadium last night upon the occa- sion of the fifteen-round battle in which Benny Leonard, the title holder, ¢ the verdict over Lew Tendler for the alleged lightweight champion- hip of the world.

In truth, Leonard today probably has no memory of havin| topped a glove, while Tendler has no physical reason to regret the mul- tude he failed to avoid. After this great championship “battle” the public generally should smiss any notion it has cntertained as to the brutality of pugilism, par- icularly where champions an@® near-champions are involved. It should ve understood once and for all that these outstanding yoding men of the rofession arc primarily caterers of harmless diversion to a pleasure- ‘oving public which, for some curious, unknown reason, is willing to pay en and twenty-five dollars for something worth, at highest appraisal, irom one to two-fifty.

EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. $175,000 FOR LEONARD; TENDLER GETS $75,000 NEW YORK, July 34—Remny Leonard still is lightweight cham- pion, iv none the worse off phy cally for earning the decision over Lew Tendler in fifteen rounds and ix much hetter off finaneinlly. More than 63,000 fans contribut- ed a record lightweight “sate” of $500,000. Leonard, in round figures, will receive about $175,000, based on his 35 per cent share of the estimated receipts of a half mil- lion. Tendler, guaranteed 15 per cent, will get about $75,000. CRIQUI-DUNDEE GO NOW TAKES STAGE By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 24.—Hardly had the smoke of the Tendler-Leonard lightweight battle cleared today when fistio fans began focusing their attention upon the second world champlonship ring contest .of the week, the match Thursdey night at the Polo Grounds between Eugene Criqui, French holder of the feather- wejght title, and Johnny Dundee, New York Italian. Criqui_ will risk against Dundes the crown he has worn less than two months. The Frenchman top- pled the veteran Johnny Kilbane from the 126-pound throne with a sixth-round knockout at the FPolo | Grounds on June 2. Against Dundee, a fast. clever boxer, Criqui will be given a more severs test, experts belleve, t when he fought Kilbane. The New Yorker is a good ring general and possesses plenty of stamina, but his punching power is open to question. Dundee has done muoh fighting in lightweight ranks, where he won recognition as “junior lightwelght™ champion until he lost It recently by a decision to Jack Bernstein. He fought a twenty-round draw with Kilbano for the featherwelght crown in 1913, but he was unable to get a return match. Kilbane's refusal to meet Dundee resulted last vear in the champion’s suspension by the New York state athletio commission. which gave title recognition to Dundee after he knocked out Danny Frush, an Eng- |lishman. ~ Kilbane was _reinstated when he signed to meet Criaui with the understanding that the winner would box Dundee. 5 *he dilatory and dusty courses of le- | wal procedure.

FRENCH & CO. 42¢ 9th Street N.W. l K DEMPSEY-FIRPO MATCHED EW YORK, July 24—Jack Dempsey and Luis Angel Firpo of Argen- tina have been matched to meet in a fifteen-round battle at the Polo Grounds during the week before Labor day, according to extremely reliable information, says tfie New York Tribune today. Terms were completed and the preliminary articles signed at a two- hour conference, held in the tower of Madison Square Garden, among Tex Rickard, who will be the promoter; Firpo, the challenger, and Jack earns, manager of. Jack Dempsey, holder of the heavyweight title. Frank Coultry, Rickard’s business manager, and Frank Flournoy, his match- maker, were also there. Tex Rickard said that there was nothing to give out, but would not deny that the match had been made. It Is understood that the announcement was withheld because it was belleved that it would be smothered under the reports of the Leonard-Tendler fight. On Sunday Rickard had a confer- ence with Charles A. Stoneham, pres- jdent of the New York Giants, in which an agreement 18 understood to have peen reached whereby the Polo Grounds will be available to the pro- moter. OMAHA BOUT FOR FIRFPO.

NEW YORK, July 24—Benny Leon- ard’s next opponent, according to all the dope, will be Mickey Walker, wel- terwelght champion everywhere out- side of New York. But since the New York state athletic commission does not abide by its own rules any titles it bestows carry little or no respect. Just after the Leonard-Alex Hart fight the writer said he would like to be present when Tendler and Leonard welghed In for Monday nights bat- tle. What was meant was that he did not belleve they could make the limit unless they cut off their legs. Well, the expected happened at the welghing-in time before the bout. The event did not take place where the commission said it would, and when the location was finally traced new: paper men were not admitted, al- though rule 40 of the commission’s rules and regulations say, they shall be. So, maybe Leonard tipped the scale within the limit and maybe he did not. It cannc@ be proved by any fight critic. Same for Tendler. As a fight the battle was even tamer than some of the shrewd followers of the political and business side of the ring game thought it would be. It looked as though Tendler had faded and that his hands, especially his left, had been rendered unfit for hard punching. Whereupon Friend Benny had agreed to conduct him through a not too brutal evening in exchange for the ducats of the gullible fight tan. Tendler was slow and never was his judgment so faulty since he began fighting. He was short in his punches from the first to the fifteenth. and when he landed the blows were of the cream-puff variety. Leonard got in some hard punches occasionally, but he kept them distributed suf- clently to insure Lew's presence in the ring when the fifteenth round ended. The champion’s footwork was more like the old Leonard footwork than July 24.—Miss Helen Wills of Berkeley, Calif, raced through love sets to victory over Mrs Nathaniel Dain in the first round of the New York state wom- en's tennis championship yesterday. Miss Mayme MacDonald of Seattle, national women's clay court cham- pion, who drew a bye, defeated Miss Jessle Gott, 6—0, 6—1, in the sec- ond round.

He showed that any- thing he dldn't know about Lew's left-handed style of fighting last vear —and it seemed to be a lot—had been supplied to him. Ail in ail, as a title bout one word describes it—blah! And the writer's compliments to the New York state athletic commission.

The decision was taken on motion of the American representa- tive. Joseph McCabe, who was sup- orfed " by H. J. Barclay, Groat ritain, and Szilard Stankovits, Hun- gary. The ruling was that henc gg;tl};n a‘perno'n \;’ho,knowln:ly be- professional cannot again be qualified s an amateur. - In taking this step the congres: was inspired by the fact that hither- to the rules have been o interpreted a3 to permit aMiiated assoctations to requalify certain professionals as amateurs. On the subject of cords the con- gress decided to maintain existing rules with the following exceptions: First, that there shall be neither cords nor pegs in relay races, and second, that the 200-meter flat race shall be entirely run between cords and pegs. It was also resolved. in_order to make the text of Article 21 of the rules perfectly clear; that in a race over a given distance, if competitors desire to try for records for a lesser distance they may be permitted to do so, on condition that the attempt is made in accordance with the last paragraph of article 21, ahd that in addition times are kept by special timekeepers and judges. No attempt may- be made to create a record for a longer distanco than that of the race specified.
