In the event the match is called off, it will be held to-morrow night. { By Vincent Treanor. Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler Doth made the required 135 pounds Nmit this afternoon for thelr world’s championship bout to-night at Boyle's Thirty Acres. Tendler weighed 134 3-4 pounds. Leonard scaled 134 pounds 16 ounces, the titleholder saving his $18,000 forfeit by the narrow margin of one ounce The official we thing in took place in the fighters’ dressing rooms at the e * arena at 2 o'clock this afternoon The only witnesses were the New fersey Boxing Commission and Man- agers Gibson and Glassman, Commis- foner McNair did the actual weighing of both contestants.

Jersey is a decision- less State. The Philadelphian must score a knockout to win, and although the betting is 5 to 1 that he doesn't, the feat is not outside the bounds of To win as a champlon should, Leonard ought to deliver the ten- second punch. His manager, Billy Gibson, a bit more astute than the average manager, has said time and time again that a knockout will de- cide the question of supremacy. There will be no monkeying with the cards. {nsists Gibson, Leonard is going in to prove his superiority by putting Tendler away, and only a knockout by Lew can change the Leonard thez (Continued on Page Twenty-two.)

This Offender Had Attacked] TUXEDO MATRON WHOSE HOME WAS ROBBED OF SILVER Child and Returned With Others All Big as Cats. George Kuhn, No. 510 Ann Street, West Hoboken, had a battle with a swarm of giant rats, which invaded a room in his home in the early hours to-day to attack his five weeks’ old baby boy, About 11 o'clock last night Mr. Kuhn and his wife were aroused by the screams cf little George, who was sleeping in a baby carriage at the side of their bed. As Kuhn leaped out of bed he saw a rat as big as a cat spring to the floor from the carriage. The child was bleeding profusely from bites in the head and face. The rodent scam- pered and the father phoned for the doctor in great haste. “Phat rat will be back,"’ said the doctor after treating the child. “You'd better sit up and watch for him.” And Kuhn kept vigil with a broom stick until near dawn when the rat returned, accompanied by half a dozen of his fellows. Mr. Kuhn wanted the particular rat that bit’ his kiddie, and he recognized him by the blood on his face and whiskers, He swooped down on him and the rodent jumped at him. Swish went the broomstick and the rat tumbled into a corne Some of the other rodents made for the baby carriage from which George had been removed and others made for Kubn He whaled around with the broom, scattering them right and left, and kept after the particular one that had bitten little George. He reversed the broom and banged right and left with the stick, returning to his attack upon the first Intruder. He jabbed him into a corner with the end of the handle, jabbed and jabbed while the rodent filled the air with his squeaks. Mrs. Kuhn didn't dare go to his ald, fearful to jeave the child for a moment. But Kuhn proved equal to the occasion. He had taken the pre- caution to put his shoes-on and they helped a great deal in the fight. The only rodent killed was the one that bit the child, but Mr. Kuhn declare that the others went away limping when they beat it for their holes And he said they were all as big as cats. Kuhn took the dead rat to the Board of Health and demanded to know {if he were not entitled to some protection at the hands of his land- lord. This is the third case of the kind that has happened in the neigh- borhood in two weeks, Two girl babies were bitten in Jersey City within that time. Mr. Kuhn was as- sured there was no danger from the bites. CONSOLIDATED GAS DIVIDENDS 8 P. C. Increase Was Predicted in Wall Street After U.

One was captured by the police of the Harbor Squad and two by the Coast Guaré. The total value of the Hquor is supposed to be in éx- cess of $200,000. The police capture was made in the Narrows and the ones by the Const Guard off Fre Island. All the quor is thourht to have come from a steamer wnich toward the close of yesterday's per- feot day was loitering some eighteen miles off the coast of New Jersey. The men under Capt. Davis aboard the police steamer Manhattan saw a sixty-foot auxiliary sloop put out from Hoboken yesterday. She was decorated with more signs of a fish- ing xcursion than most boats the po- lice observe. ‘They took her number, K-10708. There was so much tackle that the police decided fishing was not the sole object of the trip to sea, They followed her out five miles and saw her heading away out. Through glasses Capt. Davis made out a steamer about 13 miles further out that wasn't going anywhere ap- Tho Manhattan then re- turned to the Narrows and anchored for the night.
