Benny was ac cused of running out of the match and all that sort of thing. “All this criticism riled Benny, broke a who 1s really very sensitive. Benny de- lghts in being a public idol; he likes the applause of the crowd and he wants every one to like him. He glories in giving the public the best that is in him—and he is going to give the best that is in him, and then some—next week. The result will be the removal of another contender— the one considered the mightiest of all-—from his path. “Most of our present-day cham- pions—and you can't blame the public ~are in bad because they do not de- fend their titles often enough. 1 guess in the case of Jack Dempsey he can be excused for not fighting oftener as he stands so high in his class that he would be severely knocked if he took on the brand of contenders that occupy the class at present. But there are other cham- pions ‘that side-step worthy oppo- nents, “But not so Benny.

He has even taken on weiterweights such as Jack Bri and Ted Lewis, the latter re- cently having been éonsidered strong enough to meet Georges Carpentier, who met Dempsey here last summer. “After Tendler is disposed of,"' Gib- son confidently continued, ‘‘and he is going to be badly beaten if noi knocked out, Benny will be ready tor the next. Imagine a champion box- ing three such men as Britton, Kan- sas and Tendler within a few weeks.

He realized aiict the bout that he wasn’t In the proper shape then (low could he get in gcod form boxing every day indoors?), so he determined this time to go into the country and train.

Leonard expects to have a couple of new sparring partners to-day. He is punching hard and is finding it neces- sary to let up on the boys in the after- noons.

AL ROBERTS IS STILL HEAVY WEIGHT— CHAMP oF STATEM (SLANOD- Giants Conclude Western Tour In Cincinnati oer World’s Champions Start Five-Game Series With the Reds To-Day. By Robert’ Boyd CINCINNATI, July 19.—Still lead- ing by the narrow margin of a few points in the National League pen nant race, ‘the world’s champion Giants arrived here today, where they will conclude their second West- ern Invasion with a five-game series with the Cincinnati Reds. Manager McGraw is glad the series with, the St. Louis Cardinals is over Yet he anticipates much trouble from the Reds befage the last game is ove: Sunday afternoon. During the lus! invasion of the Giants to Redland they lost three out of four games. The Cincinnati club is stronger to- day and playing better ball than the last time the world's champions vis ited this town on the banks of the Ohio River Pat Moran has been making marked progress toward the top of the Na- tional League pennant heap. His formidable pitching staff, including Pete Donohue, Luque, Rixey, Couch and Keck, have been instrumental in the club reachgin its position to-day and likewise they will prove a steep bartier for the Giants to climb over, Since the Giants left the Polo Grounds they have won three and lost two games to the Pittsburgh Pirates. In Chicago they broke even with Dill Killifer's club. In St. Louis they won one and lost three to the Car- dinals. To the fan back home this might not signify anything. In fact, for a club as powerful as the Giants, this 18 nothing to be proud of. But the fan would say it It is a feat very few teams could perform conaildering the cireum- the staleness of the club, the injurie By the circumstances, we mean, the staleness of the Club, the injuries to Groh and Stengel, and the present condition of the Giant pitching sta‘. Stengel was leading the National League batsmen when he was forced out of the game during the Chicago series Groh Is too valuable a player to have on the hospital list, Phil Douglas, the Giant ‘best hurler, has been suffering the last three weeke from a sore pitching arm. Bill Ryan and Art Nehf have not been pitching thelr best ball and the club stale, too tine, and over the edge. McGraw is a relentless driver. He gets results, yet there is no denying that he demands more from his players than any other big league leader. He hax kept the world's champions at a high pitch since the opening of the championship season lant April and there is no reason in the world why they should not be stale.

By Joseph Gordon. HE selection of Harry Ertle by ie the New Jersey Boxing Com- mission to referee the coming bout for the lightweight championship of the world has met with the fullest approval of both the title mei: Benny Leonard, and the challenger, Lew Tendler. The man who oftiel- ated at the Dempsey-Carpentier bout more than a year ago at Boyl will be seen in the same capacity and in the same ring when the long-awaited bout bee tween the two greatest lightweights tp staged one week from to-morrow. A happier selection was hardly pos= sible to make. Ertle proved his capa. bilities at the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, when he showed himself a cool, fair and fearless referee. In spite of the tremendous importance the job he had on July 2, 1921, carried with it, when the idol of France was knocked out by Dempsey, Ertle was as delib- erate as if he were refereeing an ama- teur serap. Large crowds fail to fluster him, and few, if any, sit tions present themselves that hi unable to cope with The refereeing of this bout may be! more difficult than that of any Er has ever had to deal with.
