By LOl'IS II. JAFFE
WIIETIIKR Benny Leenard would be
strong nt the lightweight limit 1.1."
pounds nt 2 o'clock has been the big
question of Lew Tendler's chances in
becoming world's titlelieldcr in that
particular division when they meet In
Jersey City tonight.
Were the champion te enter the ring
weakened by the specified avoirdupois
It wns believed thnt Tendler. because of
his terrific body attack, could batter
Benny te the canvas and step Inte the
breach ns the brand new king of his
class.
Lfennrd will net be handicapped by
the weight. He will be robbed of none
of his strength when he answers the
tlngle of the gong in defens" of his
diadem en the well-known neres ewnen
by Mrs. Beyle's husbnud. w that It
would appear that Lew Tendler will
bnve te continue being the foremost
centender for Benny's laurels.
Beth Streng
I watched both Tendler nnd Leenard
in training nt their lespectlve training
camp. At the time each was close tit
the lightweight limit nnd there was little
doubt thnt either would be affected in
weighing In at the prescribed poifad peifad
age. Lew showed that he wns strong in
his workouts with Tim Dreney, while
Benny went the challenger two better
when he pummelled three of his spar
ring partners, nil heavier men, with
case. In fact, Benny had te let up en
his shock absorbers in his eight-round
workout last Sunday.
As far ns their respective conditions
are concerned, everything will be all

mils thnt he Is In better shape than In
his entire career. If confidence means
anything, there will be n double knock
out. That's hew Tendler and Lcennrd
tire looking at the match.
It is going te be a battle between n
Icft-to-the-bedy crusher and rlght-te-the-jnw
knockereut. Benny is the
cleverest nnd his judgment of distance
is better. But thnt terrific seuthpuw
sock te the midriff by Tendler cannot
be denied.
A knockout may decide tonight's
contest, but if the contest happens te
go the limit these there will witness
ene of the greatest exhibitions of light
weight glove wielding in muny moons.
Because of his superior cleverness
Leenard Is the favorite te win en points
In the event that the contest gees the
limit.
One Punch
Tendler's chances in upsetting the
dope depends en n single punch. Un
like Leenard, Lew bus demonstrated en
different occasions that he can lay an
opponent low with one blew that left
te the selnr plexus region. The cham
pion, en the ether glove, has never been
known te knock out a man unlcs he
accomplished the trick with a Heck of
lists te the liend.
Ne -matter what plan of battle either
Leonnrd or Tendler will depend en,
the contest will ensue In n right-te-
the-juw nnd left-to-tho-bedy fracas,
with the champion being fnverltc te
beat his southpaw challenger te the
puneh. "
But, while the dope fnvers the elum elum
plen te come through a winner, one
never can tell with se dangeieus ,i
puncher in the ring against him. Their
respective records show that Leenard
has the edge, still Benny nevi r has
been up ngnint n body smasher of Ten
dler's punching powers nnd If Lew is
able te get in a geed wallop te the
body, the New Yerker may be forced
te step down off Ids throne.

Careers of Loeic and Benny
Told in Short Measure
Fight years nge Lewis Tendler,
fifteen years of age, was an iimbl iimbl
Ueus newsboy at Fifteenth nnd
Market streets. Tonight in Jersey
City this same ambitious lad, nt the
height of his fistic career, will at
tempt te .wrest stellar honors In bis
cluss by 'dethroning Benny Leon
nrd. Tendler started boxing in
101,'t, his career in I lit: ling being
the result of n feud witli another
newsle, Mickey Brown. Lew, u
bantamweight at the time, wen his
match, and since then lie has boxed
successfully, gaining in weight
gradually, until tonight he will
enter the ring us the foremost con
tender for the lightweight cham
pionship. He hns never been
knocked out. Tendlcr will be twenty-four
j ears of age en September
-S. He is married, lias a sixteen-month-old
son. Philip, nnd lies in
the Legan section of Philadelphia.
Benjamin Leiner, nt the age of
sixteen, was a tabid fight fan. llen llen

Rv LEW TENDLER
World's Lightweight Tlte ( hullenger
Dcbinre, N, .1.. .lulv l!7.- A knock kneck
ni.t will end tonight's bout between
Leenard nnd mjself at .lersev CItv,
1 feel (entident that I will net' be the
man en the Meer. There is enlj one
wav thnt I want te win or lese -that
is by a knockout. I think I will be
the ioter before the bell bounds for the
llfili round.
Pep mere than n jenr there never
has been any doubt iu mv mind thnt I
mn Leenard's master When we were
inatcJied for our eight-round bout in
Philadelphia ou knew who broke bis
hand. If it were I who suffered an In
jiucd hand previous te se Important u
match. 1 feel sure that I would have
gene threusli with the match nnvwny,
especially if my butter hand was in
geed shape.
I am hoping that Leenard does net
make a mnuwny light of it. If he
does, he mnj be expected te make mere
laps around that ring th'in did Geerges
Carpentior v,cn he was socked by
Hcmpsey.
., 11 Vv,nnt is enc ?oed punch, nnd
If that left gets anynh V near the pit
of Leenard stemar-li V will go down
gasping for breath junii's ltebb Har
relt and ethers have done.
Tell my Philadelphia friends net te
become discouraged with ihn "ceed
light Leonnrd hns been talking. I nin
going te bring te Phila.ieli.hin the
weild s lightweight chnniplenship op se
down in the attempt.
