(By Associated Press.)! Benny Leonard, king of the lightweights of the past six years, demonstrated conclusively tonight his undisputed title to the throne, by trouncing Lew Tendler, his Philadelphia challenger, in a slashing, bitterly fought fifteen round match at the Yankee Stadium. ; 1 Before a crowd of more million dollars to see the match, setting a new high mark for championships outside the w-ei"! lrUJII Start, tU llllisil.

Spectacular as was the fight, it lacked the thrill,1, the : suspense and evenness of their memorable battle a year ago at Boyle's Thirty Acres, where Leonard, banging on at one stage, was barely able to gain a margin of victory. Leonard fought with consum mate skill.- A master of ring tac tics, he "bad his rugged southpaw challenger baffled by the speed and precision of 'his attack, while at the same time he made futile most of Tendler1 Jattemif.a on 8 is lithe offensive.

He was i wild repeatedly, and though he Hood up gamely under a terrific battering in several rounds, ne seemed in much poorer form then when he gave Leonard a slashing I struggle a year ago. Leonard evidently had learned the lesson of his last fight with Tendler. .' Instead j of permitting his rival to get the Jump, the tit le-holder took the aggressive in the second round i and quickly piled up a decisive margin on points. He Jumped in ana arouna the challenger, blocking, ducking jand sparring while he shot jolting uppercuts and books to the neao and body.

LI TENDLER TITLE ARE BY HOLDER than 65,000 that paid a half heavyweight class, Leonard his opponent reeling and bloody with smashing hooks and upper cuts to the head, but they lacked the power to bring down Tendler, who fought back gamelyt but in effectively, to the close. 1 First Round Temller's A majority of ringside experts gave Leonard every round except the first, which went to Tendler by a small margin. Some gave the challenger an even break in the seventh but the fact remained that at no time did he appear to have a chance. ; Leonard bore few marks of bat tle when he left the ring, to be lifted to the shoulders of an ad miring throng, while Tendler, had cuts under his left eye and on his nose and mouth. "Tendler Is the greatest south paw and one of the greatest light weights I have ever seen," said the champion, later. "He put up a stiff battle and even in the final rounds, when I got him the hardest, I wasn't able to put him down, although I tried hard." I "Leonard is a great champion," declared Tendler, in paying trib pte to his conqueror. "I did the best I could., but it wasn't good enough. Benny is a master ring general." - ! - C0.OOO Attend Hilly Gibson, the title holder's manager, declared the fight would go down in history as one of the greatest of lightweight bat tles. ; - ' 5 "We are ready for anybody now," he added, 'but there does not appear to be anybody , in sight in the lightweight ranks. Leon ard aspires to the -welterweight title, and we may arrange a match with Micky Walker, the present champion in that division." . . j The crowd, massed in every nook and corner of the stadium, was one of the most" picturesque in fight history. Though Promo ter Jimmy Johnston's estimate was 15,000 less than the an nounced capacity of 80,000, it ap peared that every spot was filled except possibly some of the far reaches, of the bleachers. Both the attendance and estimated re ceipts, however, eclipsed the for mer record for lightweight cham pionships, set at 60,000 and $375,000 , in the last Tendler Leonard scrap. i ?
