(Continued from Virst Page.) fing were inclined to think Leonard deserved the decision because of strong finish, but his slow start off- set this in our humble opinion The fight proved nothing as to the his question of supremacy between the men, but it showed one or two things —that Tendler can take it or else Leonard's vaunted right t as Geadily as it used to be, He hit the Philadelphian apparently hard and often on “the buttor but never with the possible exception of the eleventh round was Tendler in danger of losing his balance. In this rounds he lost his aggressivencss, at times groped around aimlessly wus glad when the bell rang and elsewhere. and Benny tried everything, and took some pnnches at close quarters which he didn't trouble himself to block. At close quarters Leonard shot tn many an inside upperctit and got some clean shots at Lew's jaw, but if they hurt, Tendler's poker face didn't show It Leonard kept up a running fire of conversation from start to finish, and from what we heard afterward he was continuously berating Tendler and threatening te knock him out Leonard suffered a cut on the right eye which bothered him considerably util colodium shut it up. He also Jost a front pivot tooth, which caused him to lisp to his seconds in the fifth round, “Wait till I get started.” Tendler's lower lip was cut and a tiny trickle of blood ran down bis chin, Aside from these neither showed any marks of punishment Because of the overcust sky and a prospect of rain the third preliminary was cut down to seven rounds to in- sure a start of the star bout before a leaking from the heavens By this time the giant saucer seemed packed to the limit. Pewerful electric lights on poles here and there marked the aisles und two red lights the exits Everything else was black. ‘The approach of Leonard and Tend- Jer was signaled by more than a buz- zing from the huge crowd. Half of them were yelling { anticipation of what was to come even before the rivals had left their respective dress- ing rooms. ‘As was the case in the Dempsey- Carpentier affair the arena was per- fectly policed. Cops, mounted and on foot, were everywhere, and even the City Fire Department was pressed into use. Any little confusion getting into the arena was due only to the darkness of the night. Mayor Hague and Mr. Boyle, who the arena has made famous, seemed to be the superintending generals of the occasion, The Mayor in particu- lar was all over the four sides of the arena making suggestions to the Police officers and swapping ideas with Tex Rickard on each feature as it developed. It was very evident frem yh STORY OF LEONARD-TENDLER FIGHT ROUND ONE—They sparred for a couple of secends and Tendler tried with a left and right to the body. Benny blocked both beautifully, Tend- ler then swung a left, followed by a right to the jaw and missed. Benny landed his first clean punch, ao straight left to the chin, As they came to close quarters Lew pounded Benny's ribs with two lefts. Lew bore in again with a left to the ribs and right to the head, The head punch was blocked. Benny was blocking the best that Lew shot. Benny landed a straight left, and with a half push Lew went through the ropes. Lew then hooked a right to Benny's eye and it became reddened right away. Tew hooked his left to the stomach and closed in on Benn shooting his right to Benny's eye, which now shed blood. A lively round, belonging to Tendler ROUND TWO—Tendler, on the ag- gressive, fell short with right and left to the chin, Benny hooked a left to the stomach and Tendler missed with his right tu the head, Tendler crowded Benny against the ropes and worked both hands to the body, The blood streamed from Benny's eye afresh as Tendler hooked a right to the spot. Tendler made Benny miss STRONG FINISH EAR LEQNARD-TENDLER BOUT FOR TITLE ENDS IN DRAW) a look around the ringside that the Mayor had taken care of all his New York and Jersey friends in the matter of choice seats. It is said lie insisted on getting two sections of the ringside hairs for that purpose. Major A. J. D, Biddle of Phila- delphia, a fight enthusiast of the first water, Was among those in the front- row seats, The Major was only one of a delegation numbering five thousand that made the trip from Philadelphia to root for Tendler. Jimmie Dough- erty and shis fighter, Bobby Barrett, came over early. Dougherty wanted to challenge the winner for the Quaker slugger, ‘Three hundred at least from Chicago were on hand, and Tom Andrews, in newspaper capacity, came all the way from Milwaukee, Tom Cassidy of the Jersey Boxing Commission was as busy as the proverbial bee trying to make everybody around the ringside feel at home Tendler entered the ring first, at about 9.20, He got the customary re- ception and acknowledged it by circling around fn the corner of his selection with his hands clasped for a general handshake to the crowd. Two of Jersey's privileged policemen es- corted Leonard through the opposite side of the ring. Straighway the two fighters Walked to meet each other in the centre of the ring to shake hands. Before they were through a doctor with a mop of gray hair stepped between them with a stetho- scope, which he placed against the heart of euch man, This was some- thing new, in public at least. A box of gloves wore then tossed to the centre of the ring from which Referee Ertle selected a pair*for each The affair seemed to be unduly rushed, possibly to take no chances on the weather. When Humphreys announced the weight. of Leonard 184 pounds fifteen ounces there was a snicker of ap- proval from the crowd. Both looked in excellent shape physically. Tend- ler just as pale as usual, but tanned a bit from outdoor training. The skin around Benny's jaw bones seemed a bit drawn, but otherwise he was cheerful as he turned to bow to his friends. Just after this Tex Rickard caused it to be announced.that the attend- ance was estimated at 60,000, with re- ceipts approaching $450,000. Joe Humphreys called on all the adjectives in the dictionary in intro- ducing the men. Five policemen were in the ring at the time to see that the usual formalities were gone through without interruptions. Benny and Lew then retired to a neutral corner to be snapped by the photographers After that Ertle called them to the centre of the ring once more and, holding bgth around the waist with his hands, gave them the final instruc- tions, Tendler looked the crowd over while Ertle was talking, avoiding Leonard's glance, Benny paid strict attention to what the referee was saying. The bathrobes were stripped from them and at 9.45 they started. a furious battle of twelve ager, and several close friends.
