the fastest-thing man who ever crawled through the ropes. When he couldn’t win 'em with hla flats, he won 'em with bls brains. Lew Tendler was a southpaw osi of Philadelphia a tricky, hardhitting guy who was ieady to go all out for the lightweight title. No doclalotis were permitted in New Jersey In 1922 and the only way that Tendler could convince the world that he was a better man than Ix-onard was to score a knockout. And he almost did. It was In the eighth round when Tendler rocketed a hard one to the chin and came through a second later with a < rusher to the body. Leonard's knees buckled and he wobbled along the ropes. The crowd yelled for a knockout and Tendler lore In. Years Ister Leonard told what happened next. "My job waa Io make him think of something else. Ho I started talking to him: ■' Nice punch. I<sw.’ " 'What did you aayF “'I »ald that waa a nice punch.* *' 'Quit kidding and come on and light.' “'l'm not kidding That really waa a good punch.' "I don't know what we aaid after that, but It doesn’t make any difference. That little talk We bad made Tendler quit punching just long enough for me to get back Into the tight I started jabbing him and pretty noon I was all right.** .Most newspapermen at th<- ringside gave the light to Leonard. The next year Benny made It official by laying hla title on the line at Yankee s'adlum and winning in 15 rounds before a crowd that paid 1452.000 largest gate ever attracted by a light welghMitle match. The youngsters gave their cheens yesterday to younger, trimmer fighters, but the sight of Leonard and Tendler poking at each other with big gloves was the thing that brought a sparkle to the eye of the man of the day father. o— Cuba Get Dahlgren From Borton Braves Chicago.

BULL FROG

Is The bull frog depicted on the 1941 Wildlife Conservation Stamps Is our largess and doepoet-voiced frog. During the warmer months the deep, resonant ‘jugo-rum call of thia species is commonly heard rolling up from ponds and owampa In the southern and eastern states, and as far west as Kansas. The bull frog Is also found In California, where it has been introduced. These frogs are sometimes contused with the green frog. The bull frog is much larger, however, and does not possess the lateral folds of skin which form rides running from the eyes half way down the back of the green frog. The bull fro* isys its eggs in the water in early summer, and after several days these eggs hatch. -The tadpoles do not transform Into frogs until they one to three years old. The sdult bull frogs are not only our largest but also our most carnivorous frogs. They eat practically any animal which they are able to catch sad overpower, and are probably the only North American frogs which commonly pursue and catch small Ash. Bull frogs, legs of which And their way to market, are also an Importent source of food for Ash, birds and animals.
