TENDLER PHYSICALLY
FIT, SAYS DR. DREW

Spinal Column, Muscular
v Development and Mental
Attitude Almost Perfect,
Believes Osteopath
BREATHING PERFECT
By LOUIS II. JAFFE
LEW TENDLEK, contender for the
world's lightweight championship,
' irill go Into his bnttlc with Bonny
Leonard, the tltlcholder, next Friday
itVht at the Phillies' 'Ball Park Mr-
tuUy In perfect condition, According to
Dr. Ira Urcw 0I lnc nnacipnm
run.... nf Osteopathy. Dr. Drew ex
amined the Philadelphia s.guthpaw nt
Delsnco, N. J., yesterday afternoon,
following n short but spirited work
out. "The physical effort of any nthleto
Spends upon the full and free move
ment between the articulntloni of the
relnat column, general muscular de
Telopmcnt and mental attitude," said
Dr. Drew today.
"I saw Lew Tcndler In action yco
urday. cxnmincd him physically and got
rS"nt of his mental attitude. He Is
ti nearly perfect from these three
standpoints as any athlete I have ccr
"A normal spine hns probably never
existed. Lew Tendlor hns not n normal
nine, but he has as nearly a perfect
.Sine as it Is possible to find. The
intero-poatcrlor curves arc normal.
There is a slight lateral swerve be
tinning at the eleventh dorsal segment,
tnd If Tendlcr ever has trouble or,
rither, when he reaches the nge limit
for boxing his first indication of phy
sical Impairment will bo shown nt this
point.
Jfo Tension
"Tendlcr went through three fast
rounds jesterdny in his workout nnd
tt the end was as fresh ns when he
itarted. I examined him shortly
after. There was no evidence of ten
sion. Every muscle? was normnl. His
rerrous system was as calm ns a wlnd
m aea. There was perfect, normal
xanje of motion between each spinal
articulation. Tho slight abnormality
in the lower dorsal area has not devel
oped to a point at which it in any way
interferes with' his physical ability.
"PhvcholoB.v is supposed to be an
Important factor In any fight. The one
thing, above all others, that gives me
confidence In Tendlcr In his coming fight
la his mental attitude.
"DcmpFcy was supposed to hove a
grouch before his fight. If Tcndler has
a grouch It couldn't be found with a
microscope. He believes he Is going to
win. He knows ho is in physical con
dition. He hns the punch, his weight is
u nearly correct as his trainers could
aik. He knows all this nnd he is not
worried.
"Tendlcr has been through several
operations, but they havo in no way
Impaired" him. Probably ho Is in better
condition than ever he was before
going under the knife. The muscles of
Ms abdomen aro like ropo. His chest
wall shows perfect expansion. There
nay be slightly too much reduction
bout the hips, but loss at this point is

'My Looic Will Return
Winner," Says Mother
Lew Tendicr's mother never ha
seen her son box, but "My Loolo
will return a winner," she said
yesterday nftcrnooh at the con
tender Dclanco camp. "I Just
know that he will win." When
asked if she would sco Lew box
Benny Leonard, Mrs. Tcndler an
swered, "No."
unimportant. He could take off weight
at no better port of his body. s
"Tcndler has physical fitness. Ho
has confldoneo ho Is fit from every
standpoint. He has done everything ho
can do.
"Tendicr's famous left wallop came
to him suddenly, ho says. Thcro is
every reason why that left should shoot
out like lightning, wjth tho force of a
bnttcrlng mm behind it. Tho muscles
of tho left shouhlcr girdle have a
peculiar and tremendous development.
''Tcndler declares that he had been
undergoing no unusual exercises beforo
his punch was developed, but the fact
remains that ho has unusunl tone In the
muscles that control the action of the
left arm, nnd the ribs on the left sldn
show the effect of this development.
"Barring accident, Tcndler will ro
tain that wnllop until age takes it from
him. How he got it cannot be ex
plained." Bat Marvels
Besides Dr. Drew there were others nt
the Delonco quarters yesterday who be
lieved Tcndler In fit fettle. Battling
Nelson, one-time Durnblo Dane and
once world's lightweight champion,
marveled at Tendlcr in his frisky three
round, big-glove slugfest with Jack
Palmer, whoso sparring has done a lot
In getting Lew In shape.
"It will be tho grcntest lightweight
match of nil times,' raved the Battler.
"This is the first tfmo I have seen
Tendler put up his hands. My, how
that boy does wallop Benny sure is In
for the battle of his life."
"He hns the stiffest straight punch
of any boxer I ever have seen, con
tinued Nelson. "Tcndler possesses a
right jab that is n lot better than tho
straight left of many star , boxers i I
have seen. And thnt left jolt to tho
body is going to do a lot of damage.
Tendlcr'B chief sparring partner bos
been Jack Palmer, the Southwnrk
welterweight. He has stood up under
a heavy bombardment of blows by Low,
and has been a hard worker, yesterday
Tcndler scored with some hefty wallops
n-,-. hrA nnd Wlv. but Palmer kept
htf1lni rnntlnunllv throughout the
three fast rounds. '
Usually of a Quiet disposition, Palmer
was prevailed upon yesterday to say a
few words, and ho spoke: Tcndler
will win if it goes eight rounds. He
will punch too often and too hard for
Leonard. If a knockout is scored, Lew
will do it, and it will bo a one-two
punch that will do the trick a straight
stiff right, followed by a short left
downward chop. My, how those blows
do doze! Lew's left uppercut to the
chin while Inside and his left punch

After his afternoon workout Tcndler

Johnny Walkor and Perkins
Load A'o in Discovering Their
Lost Batting Eyes
WASHINGTON STREAK ENDS
Have tho Athletics found their bat
ting eye? Sixteen thousand fans who
Viltnesscd tho twin bill nt Shibe Park
on Saturday will benf assent to the
fnct thnt tho Mackmcn have. They
were forced to split tho double-header
with the Browns', but In doinit so proved
to the multitude that they have some
thing stuck away in their bats other
than pop-ups and Infield bounders.
Twenty-eight hits in two enmes, In
cluding two homers nnd a couplo of
doubles rang off the nsliei of the Mnck
men. Cy Perkins, the skillful receiver,
led In the attack, with six safe blows,
ono of which was a fourbnse ply. Of
tho other regulars Witt nnd Johnny
Walker had five each, Dugnn nnd
Welch three apiece, Dykes two and Gal
loway and Clarence Walker one nnlece.
The hitting of Johnny Walker is the
source of considerable comment ninong
the fans. Always a .300 hitter in tho
minors and the same for the first month
or so with tho Athletics, Wnlker en
tered into n bntting slump on tlio last
Western trip thnt stuck tenaciously to
him until last Friday, when ho belted
out a homer, his second of the season.
Thursday he had a single, but ho
outdid himself Saturday, getting three
singles out of flvo trips to the platter
In the first and two out of four in the
second. Each time he took n wicked
cut at the ball and did not miss his
fucss on tho pitch as he has been doing
lis hits wero all clenn cut, shooting out
Into the grccnsYtord with considerable
ferocity.
Perkins' Healthy Swatting.
Cy Perkins celebrated the return of
his range on the left-field bleachers on
Friday by duplicating on Saturday,
only this tlmo the pallet landed some
seven rows up into the stands and not
just out of reach of the fielder. This
occurred in the first game. In the
second ho crncked out four successive
hlte, one a double.
Joo Dugnn scored his first real hit In
thp secoud game when ho crashed the
old appln Into center field. Tho former
Holy Cross lad was so well pleased
with himself that he danced out of
sheer Joy ns he stood on first base. The
fans wero particularly generous to
Jumping Joe, handing him considerable
applause for every little act.
Another winning streak went into the
discard on Saturday, when Cleveland
bumped the Wnhhingtonians .3 to 1 in
n pitching duel between Uulc and
Zaetinry. Pievious to tho game the
Senators had compiled the neat record
of eleven consecutive victories. Three
runs in the first inning were sufficient
to count the verdict for tho Indians.
Not So Good, Not So Bad
Tho Phils nnd Athletics furnished
ninth inning surprises yesterday. The
former had virtually lost to the Iteds
and tho latter hnd won from tho Cleve
land Indians. The Reds were packing
up meir nan io leave vum tuo score
to 2 In their favor when Kaiser Wll
hclm's proteges rose up in their might
nnd smote the enemy by sending four
tallies across the plntc.
This gave the Phils a two-run lend
and the Reds went to tho bat In their
half determined to do or die, and they
died, scoro 0 to ft. In the menntlmo
the A's wero in Cleveland breezing
along nnd concluded their half of the
ninth on tho long end of a 3-to-l count.
Rut Tris Speaker's chin went on the
warpath. Up to this time tho only tally
off the pitching of Rob Hasty was a
homer by Hlmcr bmlth.
The chamnions
got after hfhi In tho closing session nnd
..l.l,wl k. nn Tl. ....... n .. ..1....1. l.L.n-

That fact that Baker Is now in con
trol of the club Is n bit of news not
ccncrnlly known. When Baker was
mndo president of the club nftrr the
death of Kill Locke, ho was a minority
f-tockholder. Now it is npparent that he
either owns or controls the majority of
the papers.
The Phil president refused to make
nny comment on the Donovan situation
ether than to Mate that the matter
would be cleared ot the conference with
Wild Will scheduled to tnke place at the
club offices tomorrow.
"Tho Donovan case," wild Baker,
"will bo brought up at our meeting to
morrow and settled, that af if Dono

euro that he will be here. I have not
received a wire, letter or any word from
him signifying his intention to be nere.
It U believed that Donovan is not in
this city ns jet. All efforts to reach

Friday night, shako hands with Lew
Tendlcr, feint onco or twlco, cross his

With all due respect to the lightweight
champion's wonderful nbillty, I think
he is mnking a mighty big mistake, if
he thinks Tendler is a tet-up or any
thing like thnt.
There have been southpaws and south,

I do not predict thnt Tendlcr will bent

ATIANTIC
GASOIINE
Scientific minds of a great organization have
succeeded in giving you a still better Atlantic
Gasoline in this season's product.
Today's Atlantic is higher in calorific units,
finer in balance, more thorough in results.
Its expansive force is greater. Ignition is
quicker. Combustion sharper and more com
plete. More of its potential energy is developed
into live, active wheel-turning power.
In fact, you can feel the difference! Start
ing is easier. Pickup is faster acceleration
smoother. There's a noticeably steadier flow
of power; a more doggedly determined drive
in every piston stroke.
And in the matter of economy you have
the recorder's positive word that Atlantic gives
you more miles to the gallon.
"There's an Atlantic Pump on the road
yon are traveling"
for friendly development but also for
sport.
