MONDAY, January 31, 1010-rcmcmber
tho date will bo down Into history
aa one of tho most noted tlnys that over
lingered In Phlladolphln. Two boxcra
regular boxers, who hcretoforo always
have counted tho house and Insisted on
getting real money before appearing In
tho ring wilt box six rounds nt tho Oltn
pla A. C. on that very evening. Nothing
startling about that, you say? Certainly
not. Hut get this:
The boxers will put on their act nftor
the regular show, and they will not get
ono cent for their services! And they arc
offering $53,000 for 10 rounds In New York!
Eddie O'Keofe and Lew Toniller realize
that they put up a very poor exhibition
last Monday night. They arc nwnre that
they have fallen In tho estimation of tho
boxing fans In Philadelphia, and both aro
anxious to "come buck." Last night, in
tho office of the sport'.ig editor of the
KvENlNO Ledcieh, the managers of the
boys signed nn ngrcement to appear nt
tho Olympia next Monday night, and
there was no haggling over terms.
First Time in History
It' Is the first time In the history ot
boxing that two pugilists of the standing
of Tendler nnd O'Keefe have boxed for
nothing. It probably will bo a long time
before anything like this occurs again.
All of this enmo about after tho Even
INO IEDOKlt nsked Director of Public
Safety Wilson to InvcstL-ntc the disap
pointing bout which disgusted the llstlc
fans ln3t Monday night. Director Wilson
ordered Superintendent of Police Robin
son to conduct the Inquiry, and work
already has begun. Tho Hvenino I.tmhicii
Is a stanch supporter of clean sport,
and Insists on seeing that the public cots
a squaro deal. And the public was not
treated fairly when O'Keefe and Tendler
settled their "grudge."
Tho majority of the audience left be
fore the bout was half over. Giles ot
"fake!" were heard on all sides. Yc were
at tho ringside, and tho bout certainly
had every nppearnnco of a "frnmc-up."
Other Side of the Story
But wnlt for the other side of the story.
Both O'Keefo and Tendler assert that the
contest wns on tho level, thot they tried
hard every minute of the bout nnd did
tho best they could. Their managers
back them up. A "frame-up" was not
even thought of, they snld, and Un
charge of "fake" Is an Injustice.
Harry Kdwnrds, president of tho Olym
pia A. C; Jack Hnnlon, matchmaker,
two other olllclnls of the club and Phil
Olassman, manager of Lew Tendler,
marched Into the office yesterday after
noon. It wns after a reporter ot tho
Evening Lkdoeu had conferred with
' Director Wilson.
"I have asked those gentlemen to come
up here and explain as much ns they
can, the O'Keefe-Tcndler bout," said Mr.
Edwards. "Wo agree, that It was u poor
exhibition, nnd perhaps a few things can
be straightened out. Mr. Glassman, man
ager of Tendler, Is here, and Moe Green
baum, who looks after O'Keefe, will bo
here In a few minutes. I'd like to hear
what Glnssmnn has to say about It."
Glassmnn was eager to explain. "I
never was so surprised in my life," ho
said "Low Tendler trained haul for tho
bout and was In good condition. Ho was
confident of winning, and I know he tried
his hardest to put up a' good battle.
Tendler Cried After Hout
"After the bout was over Lew rushed
Into tho dressing room and out down
and cried.
" 'I don't know what vyns tho matter
with me,' he said. 'I lcnuw I made the
poorest showing of my career and I tiled
hard all of tho time. I simply couldn't
get started."
"It was a terrible blow to me," con
tinued Glassman, "and I only wish wo
had It to do over again. We' want to
please tho public nnd aro willing to do
anything to regain Its confidence."
"What are you willing to do?" ho wns
asked. "How do you Intend to vindi
cate yourself?"
"Anything at all." replied Glassman.
"I'1 llko to find out."
."Would you allow your boy to box
O'Keefe for nothing?"
"Would I? I ccrtnlnly would, and I'd
thank Mr. Edwards for a chance to put
on the bout nt his club."
At this Juncture Moo Grcenbaum ap
peared on tho scene. "I know I am In
bad over last Monday night's exhibition,"
he broke In, "but I am anxious to niako
good. I wish I could get O'Keefo nnd
Tendler together again, and right now
I want to go on record as saying that I
will box Tendler for nothing."
Will Box for Nothlnjc
"Do you moon that you are willing to
put your boy in tho ling with Tendler
and box six rounds to vindicate yourself?"
asked Edwards.
"I do," replied Greenbaum, "and I will
pay you for the privilege."
"Does your proposition stand?" Glass
man was asked.
"It does," said Tendler's manager.
"I am not machmaker for the club,"
said Edwards, "but I shall arrange this
match. You want a chance, to vindicate
yourself to tho public nnd the patrons of
my club, and you shall hnvo It. You will
put your boy on as an ndded attraction
after the regular Bhow Is over. You will
not get a penny for your bervlcea. Tho
audience will bo Informed that O'Keefe
and Tendler will box six rounds, and if
they caro to stay to see It, all well and
good. If not, they can go home and the
boys can .settle tho dispute before tho
empty sea'ts.

"I do not core for nny publicity on the

Tho less publicity this match gets the bet
ter I shall like It. If possible, I would
llko to have lothltiR said about It until
next Monday night. Just beforo the wind-
up Is put on."
Jnck Hnnlon then stopped to the front l
"I think it woutd be a good plan to sign
nn ngrcement right here," ho said. "Will
you please give mo a piece of letter
paper?"
Hnnlon, Greenbnum nnd Otasnian i
nfflxed their signatures to the nitlrles
hastllv drawn up, and the mntrh wns on
Let's see what O'Keefe and Tendler will
do next Monday night.
Ilnrry Edwards ExplninH
"I will welcome nn Investigation by
Director Wilson," snld Mr. Edwaids, "and
shnll abldo by his decision. Hut whllo
Mr Wilson Is looking Into the affair I
will be conducting an Investigation of my
own. I ndinit that the O'Kcofo-Tendlcr
bout was not what wo expected and I was
one of the first to leave. Hut It Is the
height of folly to even Imagine Mint tho
Olympia A. f. hail anything to do with It.
"We me dependent on the public nnd
wo nlwnys try to put on the best shows
possible. Wp have spared no expense, nnd
If you look hack uit will see that we have
put on more world's rhnmploiis than nny
other club In tin- country. Wo reall?o
Hint ono poor show will nffect tho nt
tendnnco for several weeks nnd have tried
to mnlntnln a high stondaid.
"Perhaps both O'Keefo nnd Tendler
had off nights when they mot, nt tho
club, but they will have to show me.
1 wouldn't give them a cent to box even
in u piollmlnary until they prove that
they did their best last Monday. The
public can be fooled once, but that Is all.
f nm siitlqMoil flint If llif lini'M fimionr
In un extra bout nftor the show Is nveiT
ami settle this dispute which should have
boon settled on Monday tln-y will go
a long way toward legalning the cunll
donco of the public!"
Jack Hanlon Hits the Floor
.Inek Hanlon also had a few words to
say on tho subject.
"When I made the match," said Jnck,
"It certainly did look good. Kor months
these boys wcro regarded tho best
bantams In Philadelphia, and the fans
wero clamoring for n match between
one of them and elthor Kid Williams or
Johnny Ertle. Public opinion wns
divided ns to which boy should meet tho
chnmplon, so I saw a chanco to settlo
tho dispute once nnd for nil.
"A matchmaker can pioeuie boxers to
go In the show, but ho cannot get in the
ling and tight for them. If they fnll to
make a decent showing the only recourse
is to bnr them fiom the club In the fu
ture. Ho Is forced to do this to piotect
himself and h.i. club.
"I do not believe the boys faked It on
Monday night. They are In tho boxing
business for all they can get out of It,
and one stunt like that would ruin them
forever. Also, It must be lemembeied
thut Philadelphia Is the hardest town In
tho world to pull oft nnything funny.'
Tho public- is educated in boxing affairs
and can sense a 'phony' bout rjulckcr than
tho rcfoiee. I was surprised und dis
gusted with tho bout and stood at llng
sido shouting to the boys to do snmo
boxing. They might have been afraid
of each other or hud an 'off night." but
I am positive that the bout was on the
level, so far as tho club and myself aic
concerned, and tho boxers did not fake."

opened, in ISM, the club has enjoyed
nearly 17 years of continuous prosperity
The membership, which totals 233, Is
growing beyond tho 8-holc limit nnd dur
ing tho season, on Saturdays and holi
days, the course has been noticeably
overcrowded.
When the need of a larger courso !
rame ovldent tho board of governors ne
gotiated tho purchaso of nil the availa
ble adjacent land and tho club now has
123 acres, owned by members. Of this
land nbotit 13 ncrcs nre original forest,
nnd the course when completed will lie
on cither side. It is expected that haz
ardous holes will be designed In the
woods, which nro from 300 to 240 yards
In depth.
The work on tho now grounds wns
started yesterday. Shade nnd fruit trees,
useless to the golfers, will be removed
and the grounds plowed nnd seeded. Tha
course will bo Inld out by experts In
the early spring. The board of direc
tors say thut tho course will be ready
for play In tho summer of 1917.
With tho acquisition of the new land,
tho Rlverton Club will have one of tho
longest and most attractive courses In
tho East. The new courso will be so sit
uated that tho placing of exceptionally
long holes will be possible ns long as
nny on tho up-to-dato courso. There Is no
doubt that tho links, when completed,
will be nttractlvo to tho most expert
golfers In tho country.
One outstanding feature of the Rlverton
courso Is the excellent opportunity It
offers for play In all seasons. When
tho courses of this State are muddy from
rains and thaws, tho Illvcrton course
Is dry, duo to the absorption of surface
moisture by tho sandy soil. AH winter,
except when the ground is covered with
snow, play Is conducted.
