Last Monday nlulit hP Mroied a nolablo lttory oir Wllllo Jackson and made Fiirb a hit that be was greeted by tho fans like a rli.implon It M-enitd that cery ono In tho Olympia w.in proud of Lew's performance, mid tliey Eliowtd It by their 0cferou3 cheers Tendler placed bis foot on the ladder of fame that night and will endeavor In climb a few rungs higher on January 21, when he inlnglis with Kianklo 'nllahaii. ttio hard-hitting Hrookln snipper.

Wi?e Ones Lose JTsney Tho wlso persons In our city weie off on the dope for tho Temller-Jackson bat tle. They strolled through tho 01)inpla with bundles of coin exposed and bet moro than $3000 that Jackson would win They figured that a left-handed boxer couldn't stand befmo tho New Yorker. They found out. however, that they were mistaken, and tlielr depleted bankrolls or. Tued.iy proved It. Tendler is a classy performer Ue is clever, knows tho game and now has the ability to inflict punishment, lie h.is been nursid along for joirs by I'hll Glassm.in, his manager, nnd thus rar never has taken part In a poor match. rUnllko other managers, (ilassman did 1 not sacrifice his man to make, some easy money In ono fight llo turned down scores of offers met was s.ithllcd to wait for tho future. This turned out to he the wli-cst plan Not According tn Dope Somo of our very ben experts cannot dope out Tendler'M success. They have sicii left-handed boxcis In the past and witnessed their downfall when they wcro stacked up against a good man. 'the reason for this Is that the common or garden variety of left-hander Is a flat footed, slowly-moving person, who pos sesses i knockout punch and has to set himself to get It over. Men llko that are ca,sy marks for fast, sclcntlflo boxi rs and never havo they made good, ltlug hlttory Is full of left-handed reverses Hut with (Jlassinan'H champion It Is different. Lew Is not flat-footed. In stead, he Is up on his toes all ofl the 1 time and bewilders his opponent with his fast, clever work, llo Is hitting harder than ever haforo and this In- 1 ernlses his effectiveness. Itlizht now- 1m looks llko another Johnny Dundee, and If Manager I'hll continues to use his natural shrewdness In making matches Lew will be ono of tho most-talked-of boxers In the country. Tendler will admit that ho Is not as good as Denny Leonard und that ho has no desire to meet him, except In a social manner. lie Is not at all anxious to mlnclo with the lightweight chnmnlon I In tho ringyet. He is willing to wait a couple of 3 ears lor mat. T'10 1'0Ut w,tn ("allahan will bo a real r - "out for the Philadelphia lightweight. and If he Is successful, he should flguro In somo bit bouts this winter. Burns Has a Champion Johnny Hums, the Kensington Impre sario, Is staging on all-star bantan show nt tho Cambral tomorrow night. John believes there are many little fellows around town who should be given a chanro to show their prowess and will use many of them In the future He hopes to select nn opponent fnr K!d Herman In these elimination contests. "I have a battler who w II receive his first hard tryout tomorrow night In Tommy Gorman " explained Johnny to day. "This boy has been boxing In the preliminaries for a couple of years, but never has been given a chance In a wlndup. He looks like Tommy O'Toole In his prime and is ono of tho most popular boys In Kensington. He Is not 'facing a setup, ror he will box Gusslo I Lewis. Oussle gave Herman a hard bat I tie In the Tobacco Fund show nndls a .very classy bay, Gorman thinks he ran beat him. however, and vnn loimv that confidence Is one-halt of the bat- tie." Jack Welnstein Orates jjack Welnsteln also Is running at large. Just bubbling over with news about Eddie O'Keefe. Jack, let It be known.
