I. i -. i R ,''7 I '5 I, y. TENDLER IS ON TRIAL AT PHILLIES' PARK IN BOUT WITH FRIEDMAN Eight-Round Match, Postponed Until Tomorrow Night, Looms as One of Most Important Contests to Be Decided in Philadelphia Hy KOHEKT V. MAXWKM PiHiit Kdltor Kirnlnr Public Lrdeer THE eight-round bHttlc between Lew Tcmller nnd Sailor Friedman sched uled for tonight at the Phils ball park, but postponed b rain until tomor row night, looms as one of the most Importnnt Antic contests held hero for some time. Instead of being ii one-sided affair, as wan supposed before the flrt meeting of the lightweight!), it has developed Into a real neiir-ciiainplou-hip match, where both boyn have a chance to win. Tor the flrl time in man car Tendler Is on trial. He lind eliminated all of the logical lightweight contenders, scoring virturies over Dundee. Chancy, Jackson, Ultclile Mitchell. .?nc Welling and n score of other-, an I was headed toward the lightweight clininploiiship when nlong came b'rcldinmi from Chicago. The Sailor wa taken on because he was the only opponent Herman 'Injlor and Hobby (iunnln could get for the outdoor show Inst month. He made a ort of a record In the West, but ncicr was cousldcied seriously. He had erery appearance of a set-up In that battle with Tendler that is, before the 'fight After it was all over the twenty-two-jenr-old battier loomed ns big dh a house, and, although he lost a hair-line decision. Tendler received a very rough lnilng nnd hail to trawl fat to nvcrt defeat. "I don't earn what the nowspaier. ! lid." stated Friedman this morn ing, "I know that I licked Tendler m t.ie lnt bout, and will do It ngnln tomorrow night. He Is one mnn I enn beat, and just watch me do it." "I am not worring." -aid Tendl. r "I made a mistake iu the last light when arranging tnj plan of battle, and I won't do it again. I know how to defeat Friedman, and will prow it.' Therefore, both boys are confident which Is not strange or unusual nnd. tlrercforc. means nothing. If the fighters do not belie e in themselves their case is hopeless. .lust the same. th"re are man. fans in this town who be lieve Tendler is in for n g'ol socking mid Friedman will he the victor. The figure the Sailor is stronger, more .iij.-gcd and can stand more punishment. He certain! took eerythlng Tendler handed out In the last fight and came back for inure Once Lew hit him Hush mi tne chin with a hard left, and Friedman apparently tie or felt it. He gained 'ots of confide nee In the last crap and will be more dniiserous tomonnw night. Friedman sa)s lie is going to New York after the Tendler match to talk to Tex Hlcknrd about a championship bout with Leonard In Madison Square Garden iu a couple of months This mentis he believes he will depose of Teudler. However, jou never can tell A wandering wallop causes n lot of damage if it connects with n ulnerablo spot. 7 HIS is the last outdoor boxing show of the neuson, and the promo ter have made pirpaintiuim ft take rare of a biff croud. The yates trill be apemd at 7 o'elork, and Herman Taylor sayi there trill be plenty of good seats in tin box office at the park. Kilbane Expects to Brat Frush BOXING will be In the spotlight this week, for on Saturdav nliht Johnny Kilbane will defend Ins title against Danny Frush, of Haltimore. The featherweight champion i in great shnpe and expects to win eally. He even goes so far ns to en o himself, .lohnn took his p(u in hand the other day and dashed off n letter explaining n lot of things. Have n look . "I am In great shape for my title contest with Danny Frush on Saturday night, and hope jou will be there to see it. I say this because I believe I am going to put up the light of my life, even though 19 is the general opinion that Frush will bent me. They alreadv are betting here that I won't last sis rounds. What do jou know about that'' They think well of me. don't they? "All I have to saj is that I have taken gid can- of myself nil my life, and if Jack Britten can hold his title at thirty-seven 1 surely should be nblc to do the same, as I am live joars younger. Certainly I should be good for at least half a dozen more good rights, and possibly more. "I am being well paid for this battle ?00,000 being m share of the purse. I am being severe! criticized in some quarters for taking nil of the money, but when did n contender ever get n big sum? It cost Freddy Welsh -$500 to take the title from Ritchie. Willnrd had nothing after his fight with Johnson in Havana and 1 received only $.'."00 when I bent Attcll for the championship and I had to right four tough twenty-round bouts before get ting a chance at the title "Where does Frush come in to get more than $S!.r00? He really hasn't done anything wonderful, although he probably is the bebt featherweight in the country outside of myself. If he thinks he is good he bus a chance to make more monej after the tight Hight now he Is only a challenger. "I have been champion nine jenrs nnd have fought eighty-five times, taking a chance on losing the title almost every time out. I also have met several tough lightweights, nnd Ucnny Leonard is the only one who ever bested me I was too raielcss that night or it wouldn't have hnppened. "I am punching better than ever before, nnd for that reason I do not Intend to box Frush. I will tight him from the tap of the gong nnd will finish him as soon as possible." JOIIWY m eery nptimtttu otei n chances, but he has a hard job on his hands. Frisi n a qond boy, hits teell and has youth and endurance in his faror. Kilbane has uot been boxing mueh m the last two years and might not be able to stand the gaff. Youth usually has more than an outside chance. Tilden Has Terrific Service WHEN Bill Tilden met Shimldzu in the Davis Tup singles nt Foret Hills a short time ago the little Jap experienced some difficulty In handling the champion's terrific service The first serve when it came over the net had the velocity of n bullet and traveled so fast that once Shlmlib.u's racquet was knocked out of his hand, and another tune he swung nnd missed the ball like a ball player striking out. He stood ns far back us possible and just tried to hit the ball. Apparently no effort was mude to place his shot. Out nt the Cermantown Cricket Club, where the national singles are being played, some of the critics were talking nbout Tllden's service, and all agreed it wns the fnslest ever used on a tennis court. This meant he had more stuff on the ball than McLoughlln, and It will be remembered that the Callforninn's scrvlre was something to writo nbout. There is no doubt that Tildcn's service is wonderful, although he 1 not landing his first ball in the court of late as often as a year ngo. How ever, when he does connect correctly the athlete on the other side of the net gets In trouble. "McLoughlin's was n twist service." writes a New York expert, "while Tllden's is a straight service McLoughlln's, like every other player's service except the champion's, described a curve in its flight The Comet delivered the ball with one foot off the ground nnd nlwnys followed it to the net. Tildcn's first service is delivered with both feet on the ground nnd he never follows it to the net. The very force with whlca the ball is struck prevents an Immediate dash to the net. leaving the server lint-footed. "When the ball lands inside the Hues it almost Invariably hits n spot within a foot from the central orucr of the servh o line. It never lands in the far corner. It answers the question as to the shortest distance between two points as accurately ns any geometrical nxlom." rT'U.UK will tru fui raniinn-faM tprrice aqainst &ht today in the third round of the championship tourney be a great match.

Hobby (Junnls, who with Herman Taylor Is pro moting the show, nnnounced that the bout would be put on tomorrow night or the next clear evening. Tty LOl'ISIl.JAFFE Willus Uritt is back In town from New York nfter n few dnys vncation fond with him has come the prediction that n new lightweight champion is not far in the offing. "There ntr-'t no lightweight champion now." is the wnj Willus puts it, "becnuse Iteiiuy Leon nrd is n welterweight mid he is going to be the welterweight tltleholder soon What I menu is that Hen will never1 box ns a lightweight ugaln, nnd that leaves room for some one to come along nnd fill up the emptiuess on the l.w pound throne " According to IJrltt. Leonard nnd Jack Ilritton. welterweight lltleholder. are matched to box in the Jersey City Hascball Park October 12. "Official announcement." snys Hrltt. "will be made in a few days, and there mlgh' be n chance of the date and place being chnnged. but I lmvc it ou prett good authority that the match has been clinched. "The gosRip in New York." contln used little Willus. "Is thnt Leonard is going after n triple ring championship. Having the lightweight crown, the dope is thnt Penny is out to grnb off Urit fnri' uelterunlirlit title nnd then go after the laurels dangling Iopsidedly on the head of Johnny ilson. Picks Tendler "Hut how can Leonard be called t lie lightweight champ when lie can't make the lunlt? It can't be said that he can come In at 1U." pounds eight hours be fore a match, because he hasn't done so for a year. If Penny can make thut weight, why doesn't he do it? "Take a little tip from me and place n bet that Lew Tendler will be th. lightweight titlebolder before the end of 1022, and he'll be recognized as the champ even without boxing Leonard. Tex Ilicknrd is going to hold one of those elimination tournaments. Of course, he will offer Leonard n bout with the winner of this tournament. Do you think Leonard will ngree to such a match? Well, if he doesn't, what will stop the winner of the elimi nation tournament from claiming the lightweight crown and being recognized ns such? Tendler Stands Out "Take the whole flock of .stur light weights, outside of Leonard, and there, isn't nny one who pairs oil with Tendler. with the possible exception of Sailor Friedman. And Lew will polish off the sallorman tomorrow night. John ny Dundee. Willie Jackson. Joe Well ing, tin- Mitciieiis. Liinncv w intc. ,io Rnjamin why, none of that mob i omos up to iow, and an elimination tourney will prove it If it is leally true that Leonard will make nn effort to win both the welter weight nnd middleweight champion ships, matches with Brltton nnd V ilson will prove thnt the elccr nnd hard hitting Gotham gloveman will hnve better than an even chance. There is little doubt among experts that Leonard can whip Hritton nnd ns to Wilson, despite a handicap in weight, Pennv probably could box rings around him. It is a known fact that Leonard is anxious to quit boting. He is tired of the game, has earned quite a fortune nnd wants to give it up entirely. Denny and his manager, Billy Gibson have spoken about this matter several times and now the yarn along New York's rialto Is that Leonard is to wind up his ring activities with trials fo the world's welterweight and world's middleweight championships.

The Yanks hnve been setting th6 pace In the American League for some tlni? now, nnd yesterday the (Hants mnde It unanimous when they moved ahead of tho riratcs. This wns accomplished when the McOraw clan trimmed Urooklyn nnd the Hups suc cumbed to the onslaught of the Ileus. Tho llugmen have a twelve-point .wli.nxtnnn uV'OI- lll WOrlll cllllinnlOnH of I Cleveland, nnd the Olnnts havo eight points on the Pirated. The difference between the two lending ciuns in cacu league Is only n linlrline, nut never theless the piospccts of n world's scries In New York is much brighter today Ihou nt any other tlmo In many, many moons. The advance of the Giants to first place Is the finale to n spurt that stnrted more than tw weeks ngo, when the Pirates were leading by something moro thnn seven games. All of this proves thnt nothing Is certain In sport. The Giants have fifteen more games to play out! only one of this number is scheduled for the Polo Grounds. This Is n terrific handicap for McGrnw, ns most of the remaining games on the Pirate blnte nrp scheduled for Forbes l'":ed. However, the Pirates arc dis organized nnd the Giants arc going strong. I nlike the Pirates, the Indians must battie nil their remaining games before hostile crowds, while the Yanks exhibit durilig the rest of this month nt the Polo Grounds. Five home runs were made in yes terday's games. Hob Meusel, of the Ynnkees, hit Ills twentieth of the season, while McHcnrv, of the Cardlnnls, scored his seventeenth. Other circuit clot'iters were .1. Collins. Hoston Hcd Sox; Cald well. Cleveland, nnd Viingilder, St. Iouls Americans. Catcher Snyder, of the GInnts. had a busy day In helping his club defeat Urooklyn. In five times nt bnt he hit three singles mid n double, scored two runs, made two putouts and one nstlst.
