Speaking of Sports Lew Teéndler was looking te be crowned king of the lightweights last night. He was crowned by the king n‘t the lightweights. Benny's great fight last night proved conclusively that his day has rot yet come and it will take a bet- ter fighter than any who has yet ap-| peared to wrest his laurels from him it he stays in condition. Jess Willard is already a has-been. When he appeared at the stadium last night his reception was decidedly tame, while Harry Wills, the negro challenger, got a thunderous ovation. And Babe Ruth got a bigger hand than either of them. Leonard was supremely confident at all times. After weighing in dur- ing the afternoon he bid his friends and reporters a cheery adieu, assur- ing them he'd see them later. Turning to Lew, he said: “‘Don’t t, young man, I'll see you later, He did, but in some of the rounds Tendler had trouble in seeing him. A majority of ringside experts gave Leonard every round except the first, which went to Tendler by a small raargin, Some gave the challenger an even break in the seventh, but the fact remained that at no time did he appear to have a chance. Leonard bore few marks of battle when he left the ring, to be lifted to the shoulders of a throng of ad- mirers, while Tendler had cuts under his left eye and on his nose and mouth, “Tendler is the greatest southpaw and one of the greatest lightweights 1 have ever seen,” said the cham- plon later. “He put up a stiff battle and even in the final rounds, when I got hirn the hardest, I wasn't able to put him down, although I tried hard."” “Leonard is a great champion,” de- clared Tendler in playing tribute to tis conqueror. “I did the best I could, but it wasn't good enough. Benny is a master ring general.” Billy Gibson, the titleholder’s man- ager, declared the fight would go down in history as one of the great- est of lightweight battles. “We're ready for anybody now,” he added, “but there does not seem to be anybody in sight in the light- weight ranks. ‘*Leonard aspires to the welterweight title and we may arrangé a match with Mickey Walk- er, the present champion in that divi- sion.” The crowd massed in every nook and corner of the big stadium was one of the most picturesque in fight history, though Promoter Jimmy Jéhnston’s estimate was 15,000 |ess than the announced capacity of 80,- 000. It appeared that every spot was tilied, except possibly some of the far roaches of the bleachers. Both the attendance and estimated re- ceipts, however, eclipsed the former record for lightweight champlon- ships, set at 60,000 and $375,000 in the last Tendler-Leonard scrap. The Indians landed on Shocker, the St. Louis ace, in the early innings of yesterday's .game and pounded out 7 runs in five «frames. They won 9-2. Williams, incidentally, came through with his 18th homer. The Cubs scored 9 runs in the 12th inning yesterday, thereby beating the Pirates 12-3. Some overtime game. The Cards got to Rixey yesterday and beat him 8-7. Incidentally a trio of Cincinnati hurlers held Hornsby bitless all afternoon after batting safely in 19 games. During his batting streak Rogers averaged .547. In 12 straight games he got two or more hits, which is a record. Of the 41 one hits he NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1923. tapped, three were homers, three triples apd nine were for two bags. Breaking a tie in the 8th, the Glants yesterday took the lead and beat the Phils 8-4, but at that MoQuillan was pounded from the hox and Ryan had to save the day. “ Morvich, the tamous race harse, has trained well and shows speed in pre- liminary tests before racing at Spa. Jess Sweetser again shot a 68 at the Mayfield course yesterday—the second in two days. “"A, blue checked pigeon, owned by E. B.
