Lightweight Rivals Are All Set for Clash —Local Netters Enter Culver Meet

.THRILLER SCRAP APPEARS CERTAIN IN GOTHAM RING Leonard Best of Class and Tendler Strongest Challenger—Meet Monday, By HENRY FARRELL, United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK. July 21Something as near as modern times can come to days of Gans, Nelson, Wolgast and Rivers, when “fighters were fighters,” should be produced at the Yankee stadium Monday night when Benny Leonard and Lew Tendler meet for the world’s lightweight championship. Since old times when ring battlers had to fight in blacksmith shops, back rooms and on barges, chief interest has been confined to the heavyweight and lightweight classes., and His battle is the best that the present -nay can provide among the lightweights. Strong Champ: Strong Challenger Old timers hesitate to admit Leonard measures up to the cham pions of the old days starting with Jack McAuliffe, but it cannot be denied that Leonard is the best of his time, and it is equally certain and established that Tendler is a most dangerous challenger. With assurances that the fight would be a “sejl out" and that the gate will make anew record for a lightweight fight, with both principals tn good shape and interest tiemendous. there should be notb.ng lacking to make the fight one of the best in a season where bests have been abundant. Both fighters have a tremendous following. Tendler is just as much an idol in Philadelphia as Leonard is in New York, and no fighter lias had(a bigger following here thfTn the champion. Friends Back Each The managers of both fighters disposed of $150,000 worth of tickets among their immediate friends. Leonard, up to the present time, is ruling the favorite at almost 2 to 1. The odds are inflated, of course, and shorter prices are sure to come when the Tendler partisans begin arriving Sunday and Monday. Both fighters have completed their training. Leonard returned today Ib-om his camp in the Catsklll Mountains. and Tendler returned to his heme in Philadelphia.

Signing Title Articles Dull Compared With Days When Corks Popped

By WESTBROOK PEGLER United News Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. July 21.—0f prohibition the men in the prize-fight business know' very little, having had slight experience, if any at all, wdth the same. It may be a pretty good ftiing, because some of the betterknown managers have been doing very well with speakeasies and truck deliveries of case goods for the last four years. And then, again, it may not be such a happy phenomenon after all. because of what it has done to the ceremony of signing prize-fight articles. The signing of articles used to be an enormously ceremonious rite like a coronation, with sporting high> priests present in fawn anklets, mauve shirts, brow'n derbies, striped suits, yellow overcoats and gloves and rum-brown complexions.

The first big surprise of the meet came when Bill Stevenson, former Princeton captain and one time national quarter-mile champion, was defeated in the 440 yard dash. Chapman of Yale won the event. The British team evened up the score at two-all when Davis, the Cambridge runner, won the mile run. The time. 4:21 3-5.

High Jump Divided The two teams divided a point in the high jump when Gerould of Harvard and Dickinson of Oxford tied for first place. Another big surprise put the American team iin the lead when Tibbel of Harvard won the two-mile run. Me Innis of Oxford, who had been picked to win by all the experts, finished second. The time was 9:41 4-5 The British closed up into a tie again when Huhn, former Princeton star, won the 220-yard low hurdles. The time was 25 1-5 seconds.

The time was 213-6 seconds. The final event, the pole vault, was won by Schopp of Yale, who cleared twelve feet. T. GIBBONS HAS DESIRE TO TAKE ON M’TIGUE By United Press NEW YORK, Jujv 21.—Whenever Tom Gibbons decides he has elevated the drama and the movies to a satisfactory plane of artistic merit by sing ing in vaudeville and staring the lens in the eye at Hollywood, he may have some fights in New York.. The Cromwell A. C. wants Gibbons to fight Gene Tunney here for Gene’s American light heavyweight cham- ! iponship. Gibbons prefers, however, to fight Mike McTigue for the world's championship of the light heavy division, and that match may be arranged, as McTigue has been unable to get much business since he returned from Dublin after beating Bat Siki of Senegal.

Mingling with them as privy members of the sporting household would be champagne agents from along Broadway, gamblers, stakeholders and ex-champions. The last-mentioned a little seedy and run down as a rule by comparison with the others. No Shortage of Conversation There would be reminlscenses and booming merriment as little knots of these people got together in some big room and talked for perhaps an hour before the ceremony. Newspaper men got lots o£ fine copy by adjusting their wave lengths to these conversations and young kids, new to the writing business, could dash out copy for weeks afterward with the deep tone of old authority on fights that were fought when their daddies were just in rompers. The scenarios of some classic sport fiction have been picked up that way. At one end of the room, usually the

Don’t Let Other Shots Tempt You Too Much

Western Open Champion EVERY golfer needs to learn his own limitations ar\d learn them so thoroughly that, he will not be tempted to try to emulate the shots of his opponents or playing companions. It is the most natural thing in the world when you are playing with a man who hits a much longer ball than yourself to try to hit along with him, with the result that generally you don’t hit up to your own ft ■■ ■ - general standard, hut top, sky, slice or pull | through trying too hard. If Walter J. Travis hadn’t learned that lesson he never would have ||)j|fr been our national amateur champion and wouldn’t V&f have won the British amateur championship in 1904, for he was outdriven by a majority of his opponents and many yards by some of them.* Jj; One of the silliest things that golfers do—and & Ml you and I have seen them do it time and again—is to take an iron for a certain shot simply because SraSaHTCllilf their opponent has done so, when they know in srady their hearts that they can’t make the distance with an iron and always use wood when playing with their regular golfing companions. That is one of the dangers of playing with golfers better than yourself. Learn to use your own judgment on the selection of clubs and don’t bother your head about the other fellow, unless it is that in studying his game as you go along you can form comparisons between his game and yours and gain some advantage in watching what club he plays for certani shots and the results he *

Presently the challenger would come shouldering through the crowd, looking like a dock-walloper in a dockwalloper’s idea of the sort of clothes the swells on the Avenue were wearing. Cheers now for the challenger and sounds as of corks popping. After due delay the champion would walk in, shake hands with the challenger and take a chair beside him at j,he center of the table. The promoter then would edge in his chair between theirs and Abe Attell would climb on a window ledge somewhere behind them and project into the pic-

ture the most astonishing nose that ever preceded a man through life. Eyes Closed; 1 Mouths Open The managers, stakeholders, wineagents and “personal friends” would take the rest of the chairs, both boxers would take pens and draw little doo-dads on the papers, the real articles having been signed hours before, and at that instant the flashlights would go off, catching all present with their eyes shut and their mouths open. Then one and all would drink the rest of the champagne. There would be some arguments and a few friendly fights. Abe Attell would rattle the bones temptingly in his hand. It was a beautiful ceremony. The signing of articles by Jeffries and Johnson and by Willard and Moran were the last great exercises of the kind in these parts. Now the rites are forgotten. There is nothing of the spiritual about the signing of articles.

How Tribe Regulars Are Batting

All is legal and commercial and very dull. There was some sham about the signing by Dempsey and Carpentier, but the wine agents were gone and their wine with them. Abe Atteell was in wrong at the time because of the 1919 world series business and the house detective gave him a toss when he tried to come in. Heads Clear Now The Dempsey-Gibbons agreement was signed in a Chicago hotel bathroom. Perhaps the lads had a pint with them, but more likely they didn’t, for managers now want to keep their heads clear to read any riding clauses that may have been dropped into documents involving hundreds of thousands. The Dempsey-Willard articles were signed in a ferry house on the Jersey shore of the Hudson River because fighting was illegal in New York at

that time and the contracts would not have been strictly binding had they been promulgated here. The whole crowd crashed the pay-as-you-enter works of a street car down to the ferry on the way to Jersey, and the conductor ran onto a sidetrack and held it there until every last man paid his nickel. Jack Kearns nowadays gladly would drop nickels forione and all, but Kearns had no champion at that time and the price of fifty car rides was quite a chunk of a price to the skipper of a boy but four or five years graduated from the brakebeams. Os course, prohibition is said to have emptied some jails and looney lazarettoes here and there about the country. But who would weigh those insignificant benefits against the forfeiture of those inspiring prize-fight rites of the old days and say that prohibition has been a good thing?

DOUBLE-HEADERS CLOSE ROAD TRIP ■ AT MINNEAPOLIS Two Bargain Affairs on Tribe's Schedule With Millers, By Time* Special MINNEAPOLIS, July 21.—Four games with the Millers in two days and the Indians will be through with their second invasion of the western half of the circuit. The program here calls for a double-header this afternoon and also Monday and Tuesday will be off days. The Tribe will have plenty of time to get hack home and be ready for Kansas City invasion at Washington Park Wednesday. Unless the Indians trim the Millers three out of four Manager Hendricks won’t be satisfied with the Tribe's road record. He had hoped the team would do better In the West, but to date It is running one behind the tifty-ftftv break. There is one outstanding feature that has made the Tribe boss smile, Yiowever, and that has been the allaround playing of Spud Campbell, yputhful third sacker. Spud has improved in both fielding and batting and there is a strong likelihood that at least two big league clubs will make a bid for him before the season ends. The Millers have picked up four rookies for trials. They are Shaughness, ■ and L. Fisher, infielders, and Grid, i and Brinzda, pitchers.
