J., July 25.—A pro- test against the Benny Leonard-Lew Tendler lightweight boxing cham- plonship contest at Boyle's Thirty Acres Thursday night was made to Mayor Hague yesterday by the Rev, Harvey L. Wyatt, acting for the So- clety of New Jersey for the Preven- tlon of Crime, a newly-organized min- isterial assoclation, Dr. Wyatt, who as a member of the Jersey City Clergymen’'s Community club, was active in opposing the Dempsey-Carpentier encounter last July, told the mayor that the Tend- ler-Leonard affair would be demoral- izing. He asked the mayor to see to it, if the fAight actually did take place, that the law for the punishment of crime was enforced. “The mayor thanked me and said nothing more,” Dr. Wyatt said later. Counsel for the ministerial associa- tion said the association had little hope of preventing the match, but that it was going to seek in the next legislature a revision of the boxing law, and wanted to show that it had left nothing undone to prevent the Leonard-Tendler match. Leonard To Rest Up. Budd Lake, N. J., July 26.—Light- weight Champion Benny Leonard laid aside his clumsy practice gloves last night and went to sleep with the con- viction that his two weeks of intensive training have put him at the pinnacle of his form for his title bout with Lew Tendler, Thursday night, at Jersey City. Rain, which fell nearly all day, dis- arranged his training schedule and he planned a light workout today, though it will be mainly a day of rest He will make a short road run Thurs- day morning before he packs up and motors to Boyle's Thirty Acres to be weighed in. Leonard and his trainers are en- thuslastic over the accurate hitting he has shown in his sparring matches. The three battered sparring partners, distressed despite the leather guards that protected their heads, garrulous- ly attested to the drive behind the champion’s punches. What expert criticism has been ad- vanced about the showing Leonard has made in his training bouts here cen- ters on his footwork, once universally acknowledged as the cleverest to be seen, Leonard believes this criticism to be an exaggeration, but he has taken special exercises after each bout meond Cobb, player-manager Detroit Tigers, for twelve years bat- ting leader, about whose slipping from the game after séventeen years In the major leagues many have moaned, as- sumed the leadership for the batting singles in five times at safely only once, FOR BATTING HONORS Tigers' Wonderful Manager-Player As- sumes Lead in American League by Powerful Use of \\‘u.low New York, July 26.—Tyrus of Ray- the honors in the American league for the first time this season yesterday when he displaced George Sisler of the Browns and the pacemaker by a small fraction of a point. and three bat against Washingtorl yesterday, while Sisler hit The percentages of Cobb .4107, and Sisler Cebb made a double the two are: 4101, FAILS AT RECORD TRY Frank L. Kramer, Veteran Cyclist, Soon to Retire, Loses by a Scant Margin, Race Against Time, New York, July 26.—Frank Kram- er, veteran of the cycle world, who for almost 30 years has ruled su- preme a-wheel in this country and lurope, began his swan song at the New York Velodrome last night. He rode a one-sixth of a mile exhibition lap in an attempt to beat his own record for that distance, and while he failed by a scant margin of one- fifth of a second, the 10,000 hike fans who turned out to witness his fare- well gave him a reception never be- fore tendered an athlete in this coun- try. America's greatest cyclist establish- ed a record for one-sixth of a mile several years ago, and it has never heen equalled. The time is 15 4-5 seconds, and last night, his last ap- pearance in New York, he made it in 16 seconds. Tonight in Newark, the wonder man of American sportdom, will sing the last verse of his song when he rides another exhibition. Nicol Thompson is New Professional Champion of Canada.

Louis Chamber of Commerce Appeals to Landis Regarding Deal 8t. Louis, July 26 (By The Assq- clated Press)—A vigorous protest against the purchase by the New York Yankees of Joe Dugan, infielder, and Eimer S8mith, outfieldér, from Boston was sent yesterday to Cemmissioner l.andis, B. B. Johnson, president of the American léague, and John L. Heydler, president of the National league, by F. W. A. Vesper, president of the St. Louis Chamber of Com- merce, The statement follows: “When a team, hard pushed in mid- season, can conjure a neighboring city into selling its stars to make sure- proof their flag, baseball has reached a point where the pocketbook, and not the clubs or the players, becomes the deciding factor, \ “If the holder of the highest purse is to decide the races, the sooner the game follows the tainted sports of the past the better. No red blooded American can cheer while a team that purchases the pennant as the highest bidder, romps to victory over less for- tunate, smaller and consequently more moderately financed clubs. “If the dollar mark is to be the em- blem of victory in the baseball world, the American people will have to take more seriously the detrimental dis- closures of the past and fairly judge that it is true that baseball has sold its birthright. “Certainly, organized baseball can obviate the condition that permits one competitive club to be indirectly under permanent financial obligation to an- other club or to those holding inter- ests in the same league. Can the fans cheer a contest between the debtor and creditor as genuine? Can the debtor be expected to participate while under threat of foreclosure? “The St. Louis Chamber of Com- merce is voicing its protest to you be- cause we are sure that you and those who have lifted baseball te its popu- lar pedesttal will seek some remedial methods so that the matter of win- ning will continue to be decided on the field and not in the box office.” WILLARD WANTS PARTNERS Los Angeles, Cal., July 26.-—Scareity of seasoned heavyweight boxers in southern California may force Jess Willard to look to the East for spar- ring partners, according to Gene Doyle, manager of Willard's training camp here.

Delanco, N.

Lefty Lew intends to polish up to- day with a few cracks at a punching bag and then sit down and dry out. Tendler declined to predict the re- sult of the match, but he did not con- ceal that he feels resentment over the disparaging statements made by Leon- ard “If 1 am so poor a box Leonard training so hard? lenger asked This was Tendler's last day of real work.
