LEONARD SAYS LEFTY
IS DUB, BUT BATTLE
TODAY WILL iTELL
NEW YORK, July 26. Not sjnce the Dernpsey-Carpen-titr
fight has the public been soiworked up over a boxing
match as it appears to be ovre the Rencounter tomorrow even
ing in Jersey City, between Champion Benny Leonard, New
York, and challenger Lew Tender, Philadelphia, for the
world s lightweight title. I j
Hardly aince Leonard took the title from thef Englishman,
Freddy Welsh, at the old Manhattan casino, has there been
so much pre-fight discussion ovel a lightweight contest,
though in the meantime Benny Leonard has met many con
tenders whovaked for a chance. Tendler has fought an up
hill battle for recognition all this time. By almost every
onefexcept the champion himself, Tendler is acknowledged
the most dangerous opponent Leonard has hazarded his
crown with since ascending the throne. j
' . To newspapermen at his training (camp at Budd Lake, N.
J., Leonard has belittled Tendler, christened him a "dub" and
classified him as a "second rater." f
"Boxing experts are divided on
which man bits the harder, which
li the more aggressive and which
can absorb the most punishment,
bqt there Is a clear d'fference in
their fighting styles.
tf TnIW LWfi 'Handed
tTemiier is a left hander and
Leonard uses his right to great
est advantage; Tendler Is a body
puncher and " Leonard devotes
nVonr time to the chin and jaw.
Of the two records Leonard's is
far lb" better. He has been in
nearly 2 00, ring battles since he
became Saturday night pre
liminary boy, Id " years ; ago,
knowing out one-third of his op
ponents, gaining seven decisions
onpotnts and finishing 118 oth
er no-declsion affairs, in most of
which he had a clear margin.
Opiionent Le Experienced
Tendler has been two - years
less in the ring and has been in
about half as many bouts, 76 or
moro than three-fourths of them

the latter question is highly prob
lematical. '
A committee of baseball writers
has been chosen by President Ban
Johnson to select the most valua
ble player in the league, the se
lection being based among other
things, on his season record, batt
ing, fielding, sportsmanship and
general conduct on the field. Two
i forms of reward for the choice of
the committee are being consider
ed. One is a replica In bronze of the
player chosen which would be
placed in the Smithsonian Insti
tute at Washington. The other
is the erection by the league of
a tablet In Potomac Park, "Wash.,
honoring the player selected. The
amount of money to be devoted
to the trophy and the form it will
take are to be decided at tomor
row's meeting. '
Refusal of the Western. Three
I, International and Pacific .Coast
leagues and the American associa
tion to consent to the drafting of
players by major leagues Is also
to be given consideration.
The recent deal by which Bos
ton exchanged Joe Dugan and El
mer Smith for shortstop Mitchell
ElmerMIIler, Chick Fewster and a
pitcher yet to be named has arous
ed unfavorable sentiment toward
mid-season deals of this character,
Mr. Johnson said and indicated
that action in this matter will be
taken tomorrow. While he point
ed out that the clubs were within
their rights in making the deal
because August 1 is at present the
final date for concluding such ne
gotiations. President Johnson said
he favored some sort of legislation
which In the future would "prohib
it deals of this character. He said
the fixing on July 1 as the final
date for closing mid-season deals
had been suggested and will be
discussed tomorrow. '
