York boxins commislson in certain
phrases concerning' the posting of a
guarantee. - :
As soon as the commission s deci
sion was announced Wilson issued a
challenge to Greb for a bout in this
state. .
BTJDDS LAKE. N. J., July 24.
Benny Leonard believes he is at the
highest form he will attain as a,
boxer. He rates'Lew Tendler a lesser
man than Rpcky ; KansAs, who was
easy for the champion a few weeks
ag:o. He Is training as assiduously
as he trained for his important
matches of the past. That, he said
today, is why he thinks he will
knock out the Phila'delphian before
the seventh round of their light
weight championship tilt in Jersey
City Thursday night.
Leonard today began tapering off
for the bout with Tendler. When he
finished the grind, the champion
said he would have a thorough
workout tomorrow, go through light
exercises on Wednesday, and do a
little road work.
Top Form Believed Reached.
"This year," said the champion
today, "I feel that I am at the
height of my power that I never
will be a better man than I am now.
This is the best year of my life.
This is why I have had so many
bouts this summer and why I am
going to have several more after
disposing of Tendler. I won't have
an alibi if I lose not even that I
was worried or off form.
"Yes, I am in better shape than
when I won the title from Walsh.
I am stronger now than then. I am
matured. I have had all kinds of
ring experience. A specialist who
examined .me yesterday said that I
was in perfect condition my heart,
lungs and temperature.
"Now Tendler is a good boy and
a" good boxer. He is young and am
bitious and he can hit but not hard
enough. You know I violated all
ythe canons of boxing when I began
fighting with a right lead a right
hand that works like a left jab. But
that is why I always have it only
with southpaws.
Overconfidence Is Denied.
"I am not over-confident and I
realize I'll have to fight. rm train
ing hard." -:
The champion went through his
whole repertoire and bundle of
tricks" today; first a four-mile run,
then a light breakfast, a few hours
play with his sister "Sid," eight
three-minute rounds with sparring
partners, one round of shadow box
ing, calisthenics and a long rub
oown and muscle kneading from
Matty Seamon, the trainer.
Afterward the chamoinn tnnV s
dtp in the lake, came .home for a
lamb stew dinner, back down to
the lake to paddle "Sid" about in a
canoe, and then trudgedi home to
talk with his mother and three
brothers andwait with the aid of
a pinochle deck and a rasping phon
graph until bedtime. .
Style Is Not Changed.
The most impressive feature of
his ring work in camp has been bis
condition at the end of eight or nine
bristling mauling rounds. The
heavy, struggling respiration of the
"human punching bag" offered the
pnntraat tl,at BVm-nrnA V. ji
Leonard breathes at the end of the
practice.
He says he hasn't changed his
style for Tendler and his sparring
proves it. tie will attempt the same
amazing footwork, the dancing in
ana out, tne quick punch and get
' away, the clever blocking and
snappy return.
So confident is the champion that
he has signed articles to meet Ever
Hammer, who has been making a
name for himself in the middle west,
at Floyd Fitzsimmons' arena at
Michigan City, Ind., August 9. Two
weeks later he will probably meet
another man In Pittsburg.
LEONARD CALLED QUITTER
Tendler Declares Champion Is No
Superman and Can Be Beaten.
DELANO, N. J., July 34. Lew
Tendler, challenger, said today
apropos 'of Leonard's remarks that
he would be easy.
"Leonard is a great fighter, but
I can beat him.- He is not super
human. If I should whip him after
all he said it would be embarrassing
fox him to be licked by such an
awful dub, wouldn't it? He's been
knocked out himself.
"I admit he wasn't a champion
then, but he quit to Shugrue and
.Frankie Fleming. Yes, that's jus
what he did, quit I don't think
for a minute that the fight will go
the limit."
BY L. H. GREGORY.
O INCE the word went forth that
's there probably will be a change
in the management of the Fort
land Beavers, Bill Klepper's mail
has been choked with applications
for the job. Apparently there is jio
scarcity of managerial talent will
ing to step in where a good healthy
angel wpuld tread lightly for fear
of making the boards creak.
Rube Ellis, who retired this sea
son as an active player after many
yeafe in the Los Angeles outfield, is
one applicant. Rube's application is
backed by the warm recommenda
tion of Red Killefer, the Los An
geles playing chier, who says Rube
is one of tjhe smartest ball players
he has ever known. Likewise, one
of the finest fellows. Red says all
Rube needs is a chance to show his
wares and that he wilHalmost guar
antee Rube will have a hustling,
winning team" because he knows
baseball and players like him and
will hustle for him.
Then there is Justin Fitzgerald,
once a Beaver, more recently with
San Francisco and for the last
month or so with Sacramento. Fitz
figures that his active playing days
are nearly ended and wants to break
in as a manager. ' He thinks and
many of his friends think he would
make good, for he is smart and a
hustler.
Mike Donlin, once a star out
fielder with the New York Giants,
now scouting for one of the major
league clubs, is another applicant.
Mike used to captain the Giants and
they always were a fighting, pep
pery ball club. Mike believes he
knows plenty of baseball and thinks
he could handle a coast league team
very nicely, and that hjs acquaint
ance with the big league managers
would make it easy for him to get
players.
Clyde Wares is another candidate.
Wares has had managerial experl-
nce in the coast league for he suc
ceeded Bill Clymer at the helm at
Seattle in 1919 and managed the club
in 1920, also. He quit at the end of
that season to go into business, his
recommendation of Bill Kenworthy,
the iron duke, as his successor being
one factor that gave the duke the1
inside track for the Suds' manage
ment In 1921.
At present Wares Is associated in
business with Kenworthy In Han
ford, Cal doing well, too. But he
is hankering to get back into base
ball, and has asked Bill Klepper to
consider him for the job.
Then, of. -course, there Is Al De-
maree, the former New York Giant,
Philadelphia and Seattle pitcher,
just signed by Portland on a deal
whereby he was purchased from
Denver. He was sold to Denver by
Seattle this spring but wouldn't report.
Demaree hasn't turned In an ac
tual application for the job, but
evertheless is generally considered
to have the inside track. He is
smart in baseball ways and a close
personal friend of John J. McGraw,
who last winter when the question
as to who would manage Seattle
that is my opinion in the matter and
will win to a -certainty. At least
I have been watching them these
many1 years."
That was from De forest, out
scarcely had we left the silver
haired kid than we stumbled right
into Billy McCarney, who happened
o be a fight manager and mignt
be regarded as a fajr judge of the
pastime. Bill is a most retiring sort
of cuss and never send in more
than 10,0-00 or 12,0fl0 words at a
time. -
Rather reluctantly Billy fired off
enough to go around for a week.
Whv. Tendler will take that Dira
Leonard like Grant took Richmond,"
spake Mr. McCarney.
Stanford Loses to Asahi.
HONOLULU, July 24. Errors by
the Stanford university 'baseball
team enabled Asahi university- to
win a see-saw game 7 to 5 here
yesterday. Teague held the Asahis
to five hits, but the latter bunched

FIGHT EXPERTS DIVIDED
Leonard and Tendler Both Have
Experienced Supporters.
BY HARRY NEWMAN.
. (By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK, July 24. That Benny
Leonard and Lew Tendler scramble
has the boys guessing good and
plenty. Here is an illustration of
how those who are supposed t
stand in pretty good on all things
pugillstically have it figured out.
We crashed into Jimmy De Forest
this afternoon, while the veteran
manager and handler of fighters
was stepping it along Broadway.
Having flagged James, we asked
him what he thought about th
scrap between the champion an
the left-handed Quaker which will
be decided at Boyles 30 acres in
Jersey City on Thursday night.
. "Leonard Is a cinch, was the
hasty response by the veteran when
. we shot the query at him as to who'
he thought would count.
"Benny knows too much for that
guy and will take him sure. That
Is if everything else is all right.
Leonard Is the class of the pair and
was undecided,' telegraphed Jim
Boldt and asked him to give De
maree a chance. In that telegram
he promised in such event to help
Seattle with players.
'
But whoever becomes the. new
manager, succeeding Tom Turner,
who has repeatedly requested Bill
Klepper to put him back at scouting
where he figures he can dothe club
vastly "more, good, the choice will
not be made until after the Beavers
arrive home tomorrow, and .perhaps
not, this week. In the meantime half
a hundred, more" applications may
arrive. -
The fact still remains that Bill
Rodgers hurried himself out' of the
job of managing the Portland club
a few weeks ago by accepting too
hastily an offer from Denver. Bill
wanted to remain on the coast and
.his ambition since he carried -Sac
ramento to second place in last
year's pennant race, yet was suc
ceeded by Charley Pick at the helm
this year, has been t-o manage an
other Coast league team. He was
an applicant for the Portland post
last .winter.
. When the Western International
league, in which. Rodgers managed
the Calgary club, .broke up a month
ago, Bill Klepper decided to offer
Rodgers the job so Turner could go
east at once and rustle up some
players. His telegram to Rodgers
arrived about half an hour after Bill
had accepted terms with Denver.
Ed Leader, the University of
Washington rowing coach who has
accepted terms with Yale, may wish
many times next season that he
were back in the good old congenial
Pacific coast atmosphere. At Wash
ington Leader drew deep water, as
the saying goes. Everybody likett
him, everybody respected his judg
ment and considered him a great
coach and a genius. At Yale he not
only will be breaking in and trying
to demonstrate his fitness for the
post, but it is quite clearly appar
ent already that he will have de
cided opposition from an element in
the alumni that is disappointed be
cause Yale didn't sign Glendon,
coach of the famous navy crew.
Now Glendon has signed with
Harvard those Yale alumni members
who thought him the right man for
Yale don't like It a bit that Harvard
was permitted to get him by de
fault. There is no objection to
Leader on personal ground, but the
feeling of the Glendon Boomers is
that he has a decided edge on Lead
er in experience and accomplish
ment . -That
will make it doubly hard Jor
Leader to make good. He will have
to he a real coaching genius to do it.
The Portland-Seattle series will
open tomorrow Instead of today as
ordinarily would be the case. The
delay is due to the fact that the
Beavers played in Salt Lake yes
terday, a holiday date there.
There will be eight games be
tween Portland and Seattle. Either
Saturday or Monday will be called
"Seattle day" with a double-header
to celebrate It.
