Frenzied Finance Again as World’s Lightweight Title Bout Nears
LEONARD-TENDLER SCRAP HAS RING ROOTERSEXCITED Gate of Half Million Forecast —Champ Favorite, But Rival Looks Good, By HENRY FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. July 19.—When Benny Leonard goes into the ring next Monday' night to meet Lew Tendler he may pack along with him the jinx that 1923 seems to have reserved as a scourge for champions. Johnny Kilbane. Jimmy Wilde and Jack Dempsey were victims of the Jinx in varying degrees and some who like to wander away from facts and figure fate think that the lightweight champion may be the fourth on the list. No Surprise if He Ixwes Leonard has enough on his hands to beat Tendler without fate stacking the cards against him, and if the breaks go against him it will be no surprise to see the Philadelphia southpaw go home with a title. The promoters of the fight say' It is a “natural.” They point to an advance sale of nearly $300,000 and they' predict a gate of a half million dollars. In their fight over In Jersey, one of the best of all lightweight fights, Tendler has his fistic apparatus confused by the fast vocal mechanism of the champion, and he pulled up when one or two more good socks would have had Benny on the floor for keeps. Champ Uses His Brains Leonard’s fighting equipment goes beyond his shoulders and Tendler never has shown the ability to think as fast as a great fighter should. It is the brain factor In Leonard's favor that is making the champion a 9-to-5 favorite in the betting to retain h!s title. The champion will have to fight differently next Monday night tha'i he did last summer. There was no decision to figure at the end of the Jersey fight, and all Leonard had to figure on was to be in a vertical position when the fight ended. The coming fight is to a decision.

N. Y. FANS FRIGHTENED AS REDS COME CLOSE Cincy Believed to Have Better of Schedule Remainder of Way and Gotham Rooters Feel 111, By United Preas NEW YORK, July 19.—With the Cincinnati Reds only two games behind the New York Giants, and playing the best baseball in the National League, New York fans are becoming alarmed over the plight of the world’s champions.
Odds are considered to be greatly in favor of the Reds. The schedule forces the Giants to make two more Western trips, while the Reds have one more long trip away from home; the Giants have very few games left with the soft teams, while the Reds are practically through with hard opposition; the Red pitching staff is going like the best In the league, and the Giants’ hurlers are acting like they are skidding. The Reds also have been going along at a terrific pace with a team weakened by injuries.

TRIBE GETS DAY OFF AFTER LAST ST. PM BATTLE Indians Close With Champs Today, Then Loaf Until Saturday. By Timea Special ST PAUL. July 18.—One more battle with the Champion Saints thl* afternoon and the Indians will get an off day before going to Minneapolis to tackle Joe Cantillon’s Millers Saturday. Some of the Tribesmen will spend Friday as spectators at the Colonel-Miller game and others wti! try to hook a few fish in the lakes close by. It was a hot ball game staged at Lexington Park Wednesday and the Hendricksmen won it, 7 to 6. Petty and Merritt, southpaws, were the opposing hurlers at the start, but it was necessary to send Bill Burwell out to rescue Petty In the eighth Harold Janvrin was the Tribe big gun. In the seventh inning with two mates aboard he lifted the ball over the left field fence for a home rur. and the three runs won the ball game. It was a case of St. Paul strategy going wrong. Merritt passed Krueger to get at Janvrin and Harold promptly knocked the ball out of the lot. Old Joe Riggert nearly knocked the Indians out with his terrific clouting, but the feats of Janvrin and Burwell' robbed him of the day's laurels. Riggert collected a. single, triple and two home runs. Joe has been garbed in a St. Paul uniform for many seawmr and he evidently means to stick around for many more summers. HURRYING GRID SEASON Y.
