LEONARD AND TENDLER
MA Y SIGN THE PAPERS
TONIGHT TO BOX HERE
Lightweight Champion and Philadelphia Contender Said
to Be on Verge of Settling Quarrel Managers Gibson
and Glassnian to Meet Tonight Is Latest Report
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL.
b ports Kdltor Evening rubllo Lestatr
UNLESS there Is a slip-up, Denny I.oimnnl nml lv Tondlor will meet in
tho squared circle right here In I'hlladelithiu one month from torlnv. It is
said that Billy Gibson, manager of the champion, nnd Phil niauman, director
of Tendler'- Rffnlrs, will meet tonight, sign the paper mid set the dutc for tho
battle, which Is believed to he AtiKUht 11!.
The meeting tonight will murk the finule of n two jvsir' effort on tlio
part of Tcudlcr to get r match with the tltleholder. The loenl hoy has been
on tho heels of Leonard demanding a chance for ths lightweight crown, even
going to far as accusing him of deliberately Hldr-ati-pplng the overtuvei. Thin,
however, is old stuff and used for publicity purpose.
" According to the latest dope, Gibson and GInsninn have been brought
together by Herman Taylor nnd Bobby (iuniiis, the Intrepid boy promoters,
who arc to stage the event nt the Phils' ball pnrk. They offered nn alluring
percentage of tho gate nnd this hns been accepted.
There Is euinc sort of hitch over the weight, but thin 1 mm to be
rtralghtcncd out. Leonard wants to come In at 13(J at 2 o'clock the day of
the match and Tendler is firm In holding out for the real lightweight limit,
which is 135 at 2 P. M. It Is not likely that a pound will ruin the match,
especially when that nforesaid alluring percentage Is considered.
Billy Gibson could not bo renched this morning, but Olassmnn wna willing,
eager nnd anxious to talk.
"Yes, I will bo glad to sign the articles for a match between Tendler nnd
Leonard," he paid. "Furthermore, I know positively that Tendler will knock
hlra out nnd win the championship. I caw the bnttle between Benny and
Ritchie Mitchell nnd on that night I was convinced that Lew was the better
man.
"But the weight must be 135 pounds nt 2 o'clock. Leonard must make the
legitimate lightweight limit. I will not allow him to weigh one pound over
that mark. Tendler is a legitimate lightweight and it is up to Leonard to
prove ho is."
Tendler is the only logical opponent for Leonard. The locnl boy has met
and defeated every lightweight in the business, winning from .Inckson five times,
twice from Dundee, twice from Rocky Kansas, three times from .Toe WcIHurn,
twice from George Chancy, knocking him out tho last time and from Ritchie
and Tinkic Mitchell and Sailor Frecdman.
THIS coming match, if the articles ore signed, will not give Tcndlrr
a chance for the title unlets he scores a knockout. And Kenny
hasn't been kissing tho canvas lately.
Phils Are Busy in Trading Market
IF THIS fast and furious trading continues, the line-up of the Phils will be
composed of a lot of strnngcrs in a short tim. Already the infield hns been
replaced, and there Is one new face In the outfield. New players are coming in
and perhaps the locals will bo abla to get out of the swamp before the season
ends.
It looks as If BUI Donovan was on the job continually nnd trying his
hardest to get together a winning combination. He Is u good swapper and
the last deal with the Giants looks good. Causey for Winters und Monroe is
not bo bad, because Monroe is n pretty good lnfleldcr. a joung man nnd able
to step Into shortstop whenever necessary. Winters did not do so well when
pitching for the Giants last year, but he has shown flashes of form nnd mlrflit
come through.
In the last two weeks the Phils bate traded Stengel, Ilnwllngs nnd Causey
to the Giants for Rapp, King, Rlchbourg, Monroe and Winters. They dis
posed of three veterans who have seen their bent days and will not improve very
much In the future. Rnpp, King nnd Winters arc not kids, but they uro
ambitious and anxious to make good. Illchbourg and Monroe look like classy
athletes.
In addition, the Phils purchased Konctchy from Brooklyn nnd Jimmy
Smith from Cincinnati. Jimmy has shown he Js n peppery, flashy, aggressive
player and has put more speed in the lufleld. Koney is good for n couple of
more seasons and should help considerably at first base. His debut was
auspicious.
Putting over these trades and buying two players wns the best thing the
Phils could have dona. This Is tho first time the homu folks have been very
active In the trading mart nnd it proves conclusively that President Baker is
doing all he can to help Manugcr Donovan. Bill suggested some changes lu
the line-up and Mr. Baker gave him a free hand. Co-opcrution like that is
bound to reap some benefits.
w
T1TII the old players in the line-up,
land in last place and stay
worse.
Good Players Scarce in. the Bush Leagues
GOOD ballplayers are scarce these dajs. For some reason or other the crop
in the minors is below the usual standard and scouts are having a tough
time, of it. A veteran ivory hunter was down nt the shore thu other day for a
uuch- needed rest
"I traveled all over tho country for two mouths," he said, "looking for a
pitcher and an inflelder. I went through New England, the South, through
Texas, the Coast and the Northwest. I baw ii couple of players who looked
good, but on imcttigntlon, discovered they belonged to some big league club,
li'very good man is tied up and out of reach. It Is the hardest thing In the
world to dig up new talent this year."
That Is tho condition of thn rookie player market and for that reason
the Phils did the ouly thing possible when the trades wore made. They
might not set the world afire this season, but Dnnovau has n nucleus to work
on for nest year. The young plnyers will develop.
The chances arc that Koney will play fir.'t. Smith second. Rapp third
and cither Rlchbourg or Monroe shortstop. This will eliminate tho slow
moving lnfieldcrs who allowed several games to trickle between their legs and
improve the defense. The outfield will ronsNt f Meu.scl. Williams. Wright -tone,
Lebourvcau and King, nil good hittcis. The cutchlng btaff stems much
better than last year and the pitchers are jut to-so. Meadows, King, George
Smith, Winters, Hubbell and Baumgartner should get by with any kind of
fielding behind them and it would not be at all surprising if Winters kicked
In with a few victories.
As was said before, the club cannot do worse than it did In the first half
of the season. Now that the cards have been shuffled for a new deal, we
hall see what wo shall sec.
The Phils have put over some weird and woozy deals In the past.
especially the one which sent Milton Stock to St. Louis in exchange for Doug
Baird, Gene Packaid and Stuffy Stewart. The Phils had to send nil thrue
away because they were not good enough and Stock still is flourishing na one
of the best third basemen in the league. That was a terrible blunder.

MAY USE MONROE AT SHORT
"Battery for rhltndrlphla. Sedgwick
and Bru.tsv." may he heard out at
Broad and Huntingdon streets any day
after today If mil Donovan, pilot of th
cellnr inhabitants nnd business man par
excellence, is to be believed. In the
third inning of the isame between th.
Curds nnd the PhiN yesterday Bill

ered from his recent operation, nnd Leo
Meadows, tho star of the staff, who Is
recuperating from a strained back, tak

Monroe May Bo n Regular
Donovnn Is a little reticent about hi"
intentions with Monroe, Into of the
Giants. He is n second baseman pri
marily, but mny be tried nt shortstop
for n while in nn effort to plug up the
wide gap there. Jimmy Smith is play
ing such a bang-up gamp nt the key
stone station that there is little likeli
hood of his being shifted, although
Donovan might send him to short and
pluy Monroe nt second.
Winters hns been twirling even
stephen hull in the International
League, with eight victories nnd tho
snmc number nf defeats charged up to
his record. Donovnn expects him to
maKp good wltu plenty of work, which
he is sure to get here.
Pans and scribe lenrncd a new base
ball rule vcterdny. There whs nt one
time n rule in the big leagues thnt the
umpires m:ld cull n gnme ofl or on after
a twenty-minute wnit when n rain
storm set In. Yesterday nfter the fans
et nl had waited for exactly mi hour
nnd thp umpltes still did not budge
from the shelter of the Phils' bench
there was much comment. An hour
nnd five minutes nfter the rain started
Hank O'Dny wnlked out on the field,
muddled his shops, mumbled something
dlfcrectly under his breath, nnd ordered
Sam Crane, the groundkeeper, tn send
out some brooms Two husltj lads
manned the kitchen utensils nnd brushed
up the Infield.
Tls Grtmo Is Off
Hank took a walk around after this
performance and announced that the
game was off. It was unanimous to
nil but the St. Louisinns, who were
for playing wet or dry. Hank was
obdurate and started for the dressing
room. Tho rcmilt was a hairline deci
sion for the Phils and the discovery
that a now rule hnd been promulgated
early in the spring thnt the culling of
a game was up to the umpire and thnt
he could wait as long ns he pleased.
The old twenty-minute waiting rule is
now in tho discard.
The Cards were plainly upset by the
turn of fate and waxed vehement in
their protestations to his honor, the
unip. Their vnwp was futll". however,
and led by Captain Milton Stock the
visitors trooped over to the dressing
room smarting under the Ming of de
feat, the second of the fceries.
That Bill Donovnn i n wlde-uwakc
ynuiu men in evidenced bv his inclc
call nn IVitica. the third Card pitcher
in ypftterdny's gnme Pert shot n fast
one to Irish Mouse which hnd so much
stuff on it that it hopped around the
plate like a one-legged chicken. Dono
van noticed thnt the Curd twlrler used
a subdued spltball and called O'Day's
attention to it. Only those using the
spitter nt the time the new Inw was
put into effect are permitted to ue
the hall, until they pass out nf the
majors. Nn youngsters are allowed to
use the moist bull.
Olio for Ring
It took the rombincd efforts of George
Smith nnd .limmv Ring to put over the
fl-tn-S victory. Ring getting the credit
for the win after Smith had been pelted
from the mound (" Williams hnd u
homer over the right-field wall, a dou
blo and n single out of four trips to
tho platter Rain stnrtcd falling at
the end of the eighth, but O Day snid
to plnv on. Hornsbv doubled to right
to Mart thp ninth, went to second on
u snerltico and scored on n wild pitch.
That tied the score. With La van up
and Ring ready to deliver O'Dny railed
time, much to the disgust of the Cards.
The Athletics open n four-game en

Ty Cobb nnd his mates. Roy Mimic,

Southpaw Roady for Leonard,
but Glassman Insists
on 135 Pounds
LOCAL BOXER AT SHORE
fly LOUIS II. JAFFE
"I'd hnx Leonard at catch-woiRhts
that's how sure I nm thut I can whip
the champion." This stntement was
made this mornlnp In Atlantic City
by Lew Tendler. Philadelphia's best
llchtweicht nnd foromor.t contender for
llenny Lconnrd's title. He is rcstim:
a tho seashore awnltlnc word whether
to ntnrt tralnlni; for a Leonnrd match.
"Weight has never meant anythiiiK
to me ns fnr as a bout with Leonnrd
hns ever been concerned," continued
Tendler. "and If It was entirely up
to me I would have met Kenny n year
aeo. Hut I'hll Olassnuin is the 'man
who mnltPH mv matches I do the hox
hiff thnt's nil. I have always abided
"by I'hil's rulings whatever he sins
SOCK.
"I already hao biiKKetod to him to
njrrec to Leonard's wish of l,'tl5 pounds
nt '.' o'clock, but I'hll refusis to listen
to nnytliiiiK but l.'l." pounds. I certninlr
hope thnt Ihe mutch does not fnll
through, hecuiife I am confident thnt I
can win from the tltleholder."
Tendler also intimated that tho bout,
if clinched, would be decided in Thilii
delphin. "T would much rather bo
Leonnrd In New York, where a referee's
decision Is permissible," said Tendler,
"but if the contest is to be u no
decision nffnir then I want to show
before my home town funs. I have a
lot of friends who te'l me, I can win
from Leonurd, nnd I'd like to show
them thnt 1 can."
Olassman s.tld todny that unless a
Leonard-Tendler match wns nt 1115
pounds, the boxers to slrp on the scales
eight hours) before entering the ring,
there would bo no bout. "If Leonard
is n lightweight let him prove it," snvs
(ilnssmau; "If he can't make the weight
then lot him step into the uet division
and give tho real lightweights n chance
to fight It out for the title. No sireo ;
ubsolutel nothing doing, unit's. lU.'i
pounds is the weight, nnd Ihat'H final."
"That's all hokum." eontinued (ilnss
man. "about Tex Hicl.nrd wanting n
niuti'li belwicn Leonard and Tendler. If
hc does I don't know n thing about it.
Dave Macltay, of Newark, made me an
offer for Low to bov Leonard ut Harri
son, N. .!.. but the terms of (intuitu
(und Taylor are better, mid they will get
the bnul if (ilbsiin will Mgn for Leon
nrd to wcigli 135 pounds."

Meeting With Carpcntier i .
Hy ORANTLAND RICE
I
T HAS been some months, jou raigui
nnv tome years, since, the wnr ended
n trifle abruptly on that November day,
1018.
We are now drifting along toward
November, 1021. And in the mean
while It has never yet been determined
just who the best A. K. V. heavy
weight Is or If there is one who ims in
his physical nutke-up the elements thut
point in the general direction of the
heights.
Over n ecnr ago several names were
being hlghlv spoken of nt frequent in
tervals. Chief among these were Hob
Martin. Gene Tunucy nnd Captain
Roper.
There were others, but these wore
suppoped to be three of the best. Hut
up to tills July moment It must he ad
mitted that none of the three has set the
resin or tho ropo of the ring on lire.
Martin, Tunney and Itopcr
WE SAW Hob Martin exclinngc greet,
lncs with Hill Hrcnnan ut the Gar-
den some months ngo.
In that contest he showed courage, a
dangerous but slow right hand, fair tic
fonslvo skill and only averuge promise
of nny flashy future.
He hnd no left worth debating about.
He stood off the crafty, powerful and
more experienced Hrcnnan which was
something, although outpointed nt tho
finish. , ,
Hut In nil truth it required a more
vivid Imagination thnn we hae ever
stumbled over to conjure up a vision ol
Hob Martin stopping Jack Pempsey at
nnv soon date. , . .
Perhaps he will have n number of Im
provements to show when he fnces
Krnnk Mornn, who only recently wns
at lenst good enough to need only one
more round thnu Carpcntier required to
drop .Too Hockett. ,
If his showing against Mornn Is suf
ficiently diclslvp ho mnv bo rendy for
another shot nt Hrennnn. Tom Gibbons,
or even Carpontler. There are at least
plenty of trial horses waiting In the
stall, not quite champions, but good
enough to help complete tho needed line.
The Other Two
CAPTAIN HOPEIt has been stepping
nlnng nt odd lntervnls, but he has
never attempted to stalk through nny
extreme high altitudes of pugilism.
Gen" Tunnev was handicapped by
brittle hands, the toughest handicap any
fighter can know, nnd won forced Into
u long rest.
His exhibition against Soldier Jonce
preceding the last championship was
hurdly brilliant.
Reore the bell sounded hc looked
morn like a champion in general build
thnn either Roper or Mnrtin. Hut he
wns unnblc to offer nny collection of
wares worth bidding ror.
His long lay-off was against him,
showing the amount of work ho needed,
but unless the fiber and bone texture of
bis bunds have changed it Is still n ques
tion nn to how much work ho can
stand.
Tho Final lCllmliutlon
IF MARTIN should overthrow Mornn.
why not match Tunney and Roper
and then toss the winner nt Martin for
nn A. K. F. decision?
We could then know nt lcat the
name of tho best army boxer In hrnvv
w eight ranks, and by thnt dale judge
whether or not he was sufficiently ad
justed to tnckle a Gibbons or n Our
pentier. fust nt the moment there seems to he
no sign of nny Abysmal Troglodjto fit
enough to entertain Dcmpsey.
Hut with CnrnoptliT '. ib nn--. I Iron
nnn nnd possibly Martin, there aio nt
least four tn sight who can provide
suitable entertainment for the umlMludc
at largo until the A. T. fur Do.tipM'y
comes along.
Martin-Moran
TF .V
1 Mnr
MARTIN can weather Fran
run's lusty "Mnr.v Ann" and slon
the veteran in convincing stylo he should
bo ready for fuster company. He lu
the nnh A 11. F. product whit has
fated iinj nne ns good as Itrennnn. so
there is n keener yearning to sec in this
Moran affair in-t how far he Ikis conic
along the Rosin Road.
If lie is unable to stop Mornn I here
will be no wild clamor to mv IiIiii honked
up with one of tboic just this side of the
Dcmpsc line meaning Gibbons', Hren
nnn or the French chamnloti
So the Moran engagement may piove'
ece ror yourself, and let our
real tailoring bargain.
