Sud denly the lightweight champ pulled him elf loose from Kilbane, and as the lat ter came tearing in, missing with a wild over-hand right hand, Leonard pumped in a short left hook to the body. Then a scries of lefts and rights, nil frritlc punches, made Kilbane try to clinch and Leonard finished his full lade of body smashes by switching with a vicious right uppercut to the chin. Kil bane collapsed, going to lilt knees ami grabbing Leonard around the nnkles with both arms. The featherweight ohnmp was in a daze, and he proved it bv regaining his equilibrium without tsklng a count. Tonel Ends Match As Kilbane straightened, hurdly able to hold up his nrms, a right by Leonard to the jnw almost turned the Cleveland man around.

Since winning the championship Benny has been knocked down by Charley nlte nun Ititchlc Mitchell. Lew Tendler never has been counted out, but he has been dropped by Willie Jackson and 1-Mdic Fltziiinmons. Jackson scoied two knockdowns over Tendler, nnd there still are many fans who be lieve that the l'hiladclphinn was given a slow count, despite the fact several ringside critics, with stop watches, upheld Frank O'Brien as having been fair in tolling. Phil Twirler Gets the Verdict After Six Innings Third Victory This Year BUSH HURLS GREAT BALL "George 'Columbln' Smith now pitch ing for the Phillies" linn meant ncnrl nil season that the big right-handed twirler would get none of the breaks nnd thnt the victory would go tn the opposing team, not always becouse Smith failed to pitch ball, but just be cause tho breaks went against him. Yesterday out In Chicago (5nwge hud some of the breaks. The vagatics of the weatliT enabled bim to make it tinee straight for tho Donovnnlcsi Phil Incidentally it was Smith's third "win of ths season cut of w-ventcen Ftaits.

Tho Macks on their Inst away trip performed' brilliantly in every city on the circuit except New York and St. Louis, nnd now we have the l'hlls per forming the same capers. Five Tolnts Needed by Yanks The merry battle between tho Yankees and the Indians showed a big gain for the Gothamites. Sergeant Jim Kngb. the hero of last year, was on the mound In his second start In weeks, lie was battered for ten hits that counted five runs. Walte Iloyt. the kid twirler, op posed the former A. R. F.'er and held tho Yanks to nine hits, scattered suf ficiently to keep all but two of the visi tors away from the pentagon. Uoth the Giants nnd the I'irntes came through witli wins jestcrday and tho one-game margin of the Buccaneers still holds good.

Lew Tend 'er put in his hardest day's training yesterday since coming here to get in condition for his battle with Ilenn Leonnrd in Philadelphia on the night of August 12. With clear weather and n hot sun. although a nice breeze was blowing, the southpaw got back to his outdoor training nnd put in three quarters of an hour's work. The feature of Tendler's workout was n three-round three-minute slugging not sparring match, with Jack Pal mer, rugged South Philadelphia welter weight. They punched each other hard ond nil over the fourteen-foot ring. Both connected with some terrific wal lops, nnd while Palmer showed himsp'f off ns n real rough guy, he was pietty tired at the finish. 4 Several of Tendler's straight right iabs opened a cut on Palmer's upper lip, and during the last round Jnck's mouth bled profusely. Hope skipping, shadow boxing and setting-up exercises completed Tendler's dally training in the afternoon. Pntsy Wallace, flyweight, and Kid Williams, bantamweight, hnve joined the camp. Wallace is going to box with Tendler, beginning probnbly on Thurs day or Friday. Later In the week Horry Kid Brown will report for shock -absorbing duties. "Skoodles" nnd Eddie O'Keefe went on the rond with Tendler in the morn ing, and he virtually rnn them off their feet. Later in the morning Lew won by a big score in the daily pinochle ploy with Phil Ginssnyin, his manager, and Stanley, Dillon. This was the first day of "secret training" for Tendler. the general pub lic being barred. Newspapermen were the only outsiders allowed to view the contender in action.
