Tuesday, July 24, 1923 BASEBALL BOXING SPORTS MAY CALL LEONARD "THE OLD MASTER" By MAX KASE (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, July 24.—"The old master"—that old title which has rested unused on the pugilistic shelf since the great Joe Gans passed on—may now in all propriety be hauled out, dusted off and placed firmly on the brow of Benny Leonard. Never in his palmest days did the marvelous negro lightweight display anything that would overshadow the dazzling exhibition of the light-weight champion last night before 60,000 fans in the Yankee Stadium in decisively winning over Lew Tendler of Philadelphia in 15 rounds. Here are some of the things Leonard did: He outpointed the Philadelphia star in each round except the first, which was a tame affair. He made Tendler fight as he (Leonard) desired, never for a minute in the whole bout permitting the Philadelphia to set the pace. He completely smothered Tendler's justly famed left hand, the hand which has time and again brot opponents down with one punch. He demonstrated beyond doubt that he is Tendler's master in every particular. There was only one thing which Leonard set out to do that he did not accomplish. That was to knock out the challenger. It seemed from the thirteenth round on that the champion would accomplish that, but Tendler stuck it out mainly because of his ability, in the parlance of the ring, to "take it." Leonard landed several terrific right hand punches, What Fighters Said the Morning After "I think it was the greatest fight of my career not excepting when I won the title from Welsh. Tendler was the toughest and most rugged athlete I ever fot. But I drop him back just as I had planned. I was out to demonstrate I was his master by completely cut-boxing him and I feel that learned every round except the last."—Leonard. "Benny is the greatest fighter the world has ever known in my estimation. I made me do things I didn't want to do. I never could go wrong because he always seemed to know what I planned and pointed me from doing it. In action he did what he wanted to do all the time. He made me miss, blocked and ducked effectively all the time."—Tendler. RUTH AND WILLIAMS TIE FOR SWT LEAD (By International News Service) PHILADELPHIA, July 4.—Babe Ruth, Yankee slugger, hit into a tie with Cy Williams a major league home run honor seen he clouted out his twenty-thiomer of the season in the ninth-round of the game with Philadelphia is afternoon. Jack Skelly's Nonsense (By International News Service) NEW YORK, Skelly is talking last thru the would have been a chance at earning sands of dollars. Quit? This was Jess Wiley day to the charges trainer, that he bought with the South went into that comedy money he could charge that William properly for the fight. Everything Skelly false, absolutely false. "Jack is so licey." That stuff about for the fight is no newspapermen saw every day. I'm thrue with guess I'll go back here shortly, first making homa. My future plans to get up a wild year." There was only one thing which Leonard set out to do that he did not accomplish. That was to knock out the challenger. It seemed from the thirteenth round on that the champion would accomplish that, but Tendler stuck it out mainly because of his ability, in the parlance of the ring, to "take it." Leonard landed several terrific right hand punches, both to the body and head in the closing three rounds, and Tendler reeled around like a drunken man, but he remained upright, grimly holding on at every opportunity. In the thirteenth round Tendler, dizzy from the effects of a sizzling one-two combination—a left jab followed by a straight right to the head—missed a twing and fell to his knees. Leonard was poised to leap and deliver a finishing punch when the challenger arose, but the referee, Amy Griffin, rubbed the resin dust off Tendler's gloves and the few seconds respite enabled the Philadelphia head to clear sufficiently for him to stick out the round. Leonard's victory places him absolutely in a class by himself as far as the present day lightweights are concerned. Tendler, without a doubt, a great lightweight, was so decisively whipped that he himself was the first to concede it. "You're a better man than I am, Benny, and that's from the heart," he declared a few seconds after the final bell rang and he and the champion stood in the middle of the ring, patting each other on the back. Tendler was bleeding rather freely from the nose and from a cut under the eye. Leonard was unmarked.

SARGUMSPROUTIN The wise business man girls their heads. The women employees a vacation each year. A vacation puts new life into workers. They run in a groove kept at one thing too long. People are so constituted that must change their place of occupation. The change acts as a vacation. Witness Red Smith the ball player. He got into the dumps and was all safe. The Cincinnati able to get going for turn-on playing great ball and playing the same position on bats, but it is done same grounds for the Angels he maintain such a sensation. The fans were raining him on week and proclaiming him a hero next. The queer part was that Red was trying all the time Chang-ing teammates and dragging pay from a new source was emplanting kid glands in the man, or giving him a bath in a fountain of youth. Red Smith had much to pull in the Seals down the ladder past week. Three weeks ago the Seals looked to have a cinch the Coast League pennant, today hold just a slight lead. We still believe the Seals the class of the league and their rump will be of short duration. The ramento team is making great wring and appear to be playin- Up in Sacramento ollwitz Sac first baseman to Umpire Byron to Byron's replica umpire with his ver who does such not only with the fans as well.

If I had lasted thru the Firpo bout I still would have been a contender with a chance at earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why should I have quit?" This was Jess Willard's answer today to the charges of Skelly, his trainer, that he had "quit" in the bout with the South American and went into that contest solely for the money he could make. Skelly also charged that Willard did not train properly for the fight. "Everything Skelly has said is false, absolutely false," Willard declared. "Jack is seeking some publicity." "That stuff about me not training for the fight is nonsense. A lot of newspapermen saw me work out every day." "I'm thru with the ring now. I guess I'll go back home to California shortly, first making a stop in Oklahoma." "My future plans? Well I intend to get up a wild west show next year." YESTERDAY'S HOME RUNS National No. Total.

SWEETZER PLAYS PERFECT PAR GOLF MAYFIELD COUNTRY CLUB, CLEVELAND, July 24—Jess Sweetzer, national amateur champion, played perfect par golf for the first nine holes of his second round in the qualifying play for the western amateur championship here this afternoon, but poor putting cost him extra strokes on the way back and he had a card of 75. This makes his gross for the 36 holes of the qualifying play 143, which is low medalist score. An all-night rain made the going hard. The field, slightly smaller than yesterday on account of withdrawals, started play at 8:30.

The New York Giants are in the same lane with the Seals. Their lead has been cut down until they are not at all safe. The Cincinnati Reds are playing great ball and may pass the Giants, but it is doubtful if they can maintain such a clip. Up in Sacramento a player Fred Rollwitz Sac first baseman, took exception to Umpire Byron's decisions on to Byron's replies and struck umpire with his fist. Usually a ver who does such a thing gets in not only with the league officials the fans as well. This case the Chamber of Commerce took up the affair and have pioned the league head to withdraw all blame from the player.

For two days, starting July 4, Pond was guest of honor at a general celebration here where the name of a great Yale athlete is a thing to be conjured with, local citizens hailing him with great accclaim. Graduates of the exclusive Hotchkiss School at Lakeville, where Pond was football captain, thronged to a banquet on July 5, while on the 4th schoolmates here and citizens in general feted him and made him presents. DOG CHEWS MASTER'S "QUID" CLARKSBURG, W. Va., July 24. A Wayne County dog got into the limelight recently because he sported a gold tooth. But, that's nothing, so far as Laddie, a local dog, is concerned. Laddie, the property of James Mack, chews tobacco and is proud of it, and, moreover, likes it so well that he has developed the habit. Laddie will chew any brand but prefers his master's brand. He likes that so well that Mack has to limit his chews to three a day. Laddie is a combination Scotch collie and rat terrier.
