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

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."

Leonnrd Through as Light-;
weight, Predicts Willus To
Meet Britton
ALSO AFTER WILSON BOUT'
Tendler Friedman Match
Off Till Tomorrow Night
The return mutch between Lew
Tendler nnd Sailor Friedman, sched
uled for tonight nt the Phillies' Unit
Park, wns postponed shortly after
11 o'clock today because of the In
clement weather. 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.

McOraw Club .Moves to Top,
Eight Points Ahead of
Slumping Pirates
R.MEUSELHITS20TH HOMER
New York is lending I lie baseball
world. 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.
McNally. filling linker's place nt third
for the Yankees, hnudled eleven assists
without an error in n double-header,
which was divided between New York
nnd Hoston. The A's took their dnlly
beating, loMng to 'Washington in ten
innings, 7-lt.
Outfielder Wallace Hood, of Hrook
lyn, ftnetured his arm while pranking a
ipotoicnr. Two other Brooklyn players.
Pitcher Cadore nnd Infielder Kllduff,
were reported out of the game, due to
minor injuries.

Never Before Has United States Had Such Talent to Offc
in Various Branches of Athletics, Especially in
International Play
By GRANTLAND RICE
The (Jap -The
yap between the star and duh
Is often thinner than a hair,
A stroke that barely clean a trap
A smash with but an inch to spare
Dcforc it settles, foul or fair.
And so I sometimes wonder if
Wo do not shovel out acclaim
A bit too heavy to tho cove
To whom results aro all of fame
And not tho manner of the garnet
TS 1021 nn cxceptlonnl year for Amcri-
1 can talent nmonir the coninctitlve

the future has to offer throuch tho vast
development of athletic piny?
CERTAINLY the United States never
bnforo in its history lias had nny
sucli talent ns this to oner:
Tho ring Dempsey, I.eonnrd, Her

THESE names, you may notice, only
belong to International snorts. The
stars thnt belong to such strictly nn

we have set a terrific unco for coming

such names as Wilding, llrookes, Vnr-

wns no ring champion In the lists.
CONSIDER the millions now engaged
in snort modern trninine mpMiniln
the wide publicity given nnd there
is every sign that the average will here
after always be high and thnt the sun

number of .voting stars comlne on Is
exceptional and their ability unusual.
Ann wun national and intcrseetlonal
rivalry ns keen as it la there is little
