PART TWO ’ OMAHA, SUNDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1923. 1—B_* _FIVE CENTS 7ans Wondering How Leonard Has Been Made 2 to 1 Favorite Over Tendler hallenger All hut Had Benny Out in Last Go limpion Pays Strict Atten ion to Making Lightweight P Limit and Is Prepared >' for Hard Battle. E\V YORK, July 21.— The general pub lic stems to be wondering how It la that Benny ^ Leonard has been |\\|f made a two to one ■ v M favorite over Lew Tendler for their world's lightweight championship bout on Monday night. On a line through their first meeting a year ago, it would appear to be an even money proposition. Yet t hat coterie, which considers itself ’wise,” is betting Penny will win by I '■ knockout, providing one of the [Philadelphia southpaw's piston lefts I loss not land too low. i In case of a foul, stipulation la Inada in many wagerc that all bets are fft. In trying to figure out why Leonard ‘ s such a pronounced favorite, the -following merits are taken into con sideration: Ijfw Floored for Count. Tim Drony of Lancaster, Pa., form ierly one of Tendler's sparring part tiers. floored "Lefty Lew" for a long R-ount In a bout two weeks ago. I Leonard has been paying strict at rtention to making the 135-pound lightweight limit for months, and is not doing a hurry-up Job, as he did for Tendler a year ago. Tendler has been taking on weight In the past and must have been up agninst quite a task in trimming down. Leonard, possessed of one of the greatest brains in the history of pugi lism. was solving Tendler’s peculiar nyhting style as the fight went along in their first meeting. Tendler nearly had Leonard out twice in their first bout', but let him self be talked and kidded out of It. In a decision bout. Leonard gener ally tries from the outset for a knock out and is known to have the punch. Yet, even with all the foregoing points duly considered, it Is still a • ause for w'onder that such odds exist. Won Title In 1917. i We have been hearing of recent lionths that Leonard Is not the r-ghter he used to be. But he has ['■Id the championship since 1917. Is S'. yearrf old, and has been fighting l>nro 1912. There Is no question that | e has been a great champion, may be, but the years surely must be king their toll. 'Jl'endler will not be 25 until Sep •nber 28 next, and did not really JJtin fighting until 1914, though he d a few small bouts the year be i me. His two years advantage in !* } should count quite a bit for him. tidier Is not the boxer Leonard Is, '■ his lefthanded style Is puzzling, left to the pit of the stomach ••"tone of the most cruel and telling ws employed In the ring today. 4 f Leonard has gor.e hack very tch, and Tendler Is at fine form, "e Philadelphia should have a fine ance for the title. While Leonard • idoubtedly has profited by his ex ■ Jrience with the southpaw, Tendler aould have also picked up wisdom om their first meeting. For one ing, he should he prepared to keep . fighting and not let himself be idded by Leonard if another oppor •tnity for a knockout presents itself. Fight Carded for 15 Rounds. |( The fight Monday night is for 15 unds. I.eonard Is a marvelous ring peral, a master boxer. Tendler Is .te a boxer, but does not compare M th the champion In that respect, n it he la a vicious slugger, and has n K. O. punch. j Of the two, we think Tendler the ^ ughest. The rejbrd book shows no l ockout over him. He twice had | onard on the verge of a knockout l C their last meeting, while he was r l>er really In danger. Ten years f, k, Leonard was knocked out by rc fihugrue and Frankie Fleming. ’ t will be no surprise to this writer liVithe fight goes the distance with I. b snard the winner on points it ough being the better boxer. He tt v.. spent hours perfecting himself **inst a southpaw attack and how l.o»aunch an attack of his own rig limit It. “ Tendler's low sinking left, however, may result 'in him fouling the cham pion. His blows often do go very low.

Ordinarily the fact that Raymond carried the clubs of Ham Reynolds when he win the state golf championship a week ago Saturday would make him the most envied boy on the link*, but Ham added favor to honor when he pre sented Raymond with the ball which he made No. li In one stroke during his flnul mntch with Johnny Morris To young Marlnvlc, this was a great honor and added to his distinction among caddies. Raymond picked the hall out of the cup after Ham’s now famous tnashb niblick shot and wanted to clean It for use on the next hole, hut Ham, who had recorded his first ace In his 21 years at the game, protest'd the suggestion and said that It must he used without cleaning throughout the match. When the mutch ended on the thirty first green the caddy of fered Reynolds the hall to keep as a treasured souvenir, hut Hum returned It for Raymond to keep. The smile of happiness that cov er>-d Raymond's freckeled contenanee after the Informal presentation of the great spoils of battle has become a fixed feeture of the king of caddies. Buffaloes Split Double Bill With St. Joseph Omaha Wins First Game With Speece on Mound, 10 to 6; Loses Second, 6 to 5. St. Joseph, Mo., July 21.—Scintil lating catch by Sherry Magee of Manush's long foul fly closed the day's proceedings and spoiled an ex cellent chance Omaha had to cop the second game^ thus giving the Buffaloes a double-'header victory over St. Joseph. As It was the visitors took the first game, 10 to 6, and dropped the second, 5 to 6. The twlliglTt battle, a seven-inning one, was a heart-breaker for Omaha to lose, having It won, 5 to 1, and having two men out with only one man on in the latter half of the sixth. Bee weakened and was show ered with base hits. Before Konetchy had time to yank Bee and substitute Cullop. the Saints had connected for six safeties and tied the score. Bierce greeted Cullop with a single, driving in the winning run. Haid, I^dbetter and Mangum work ed the closer for St. Joseph. Haid was touched for four hits and three runs in the second frame. He was forced to retire when O’Connor crashed a grounder off his wrist, Bedbetter going in. Mangum worked the seventh, following the Insertion of a pinch hitter. It was no fault of Kerr that Omaha didn’t win game No. 2. Johnny con tributed a double and triple to the team’s collection of hits. The introducing fracas really began and ended in the first chapter. The Buffaloes batted around a time and a half and used nine hits, Including Konetchy’s triple and McDonald's double and a hit batsman to ring up nine runs and decisively decide the contest. Each Buffalo got a hit that frame. At the outset Speece was pitted against Bofty Blndberg. The heavy assault soon drove Bindberg to the showers and Birkenstock, his succes sor, likewise was'Jerked before the first inning was over. Mangum. who finished, pitched great ball, but the game was beyond the saving stage for St. Joseph. The Josies began to get Speece’s measure in the seventh and Buckshot May soon applied the screws to the uprising. Besides his hitting In the second game. Kerr also did some noteworthy clouting in the opener, with two singles and a triple to his credit. Another double header is scheduled for Sunday at 2:15. It Is likely that Monday's game will be postponed.

Fifty-four local rackuet wlelders got into action yesterday afternoon across the twine barriers at the Omaha Field club courts in the first day's play of the 15th annual city tennis champion ships. The favorites succeeded in turning back their opponents in ail cases, although several of the \ eter ans were forced to extend themselves when nine matches were forced to go three sets into deuce scores before a winner could be determined. By far the outstanding test seen on the clay courts Saturday was the Finkei Nichols match. Flnkel won out over the veteran by scores of 6 1, 6 8, 7 5. Tom Nolan was the only netster to defeat his opponent by straight love sets, winning over Aitch Ison, 6 0, 6-0. The outstanding per former during the first day was the play of John Zo*oya, recent winner of the Carter I-ake tourney. Zozoya demonstrated a variety of strokes while defeating Parmalee, 6 3. 6-1, and seems to have risen Into the dark horse class. Eighteen teams have already signed up In the men's doubles event, which starts Tuesday evening at 5 o'clock. It Is likely that the Ladles' competi tions will l>e abandoned unless more entrants sign. At present only six flapper performers have entered the singles, and no teams have done so for the woman's doubles event. The mixed doubles, which was to he one of the features of this year's classic, will also need bo given up.

J., July 21.—Bob Mac Donald of Chloago became metropoli tan golf champion for the seend time by easily vanquishing Jim Barnes of New York here today at the Canoe brook Country club in a playoff for the title. MacDonald completed the 18 holes In 70 strokes to 80 required by Barnes. Two years ago MacDonald won the ''met'' from a strong field; practical ly all the leading pros were in the event this year. Ten years ago Mac Donald tied for the title but lost in a playoff. Barnes, national open cham pion two years ago, has now tied thrice for the "met" open, and has always lost in the playoff. The playoff today seemed more like a procession than a contest after the second hole, where MacDonald had a birdie 3, and continued to lengthen his lead to the extent of four strokes at the turn. Barnes was never really In the affair, his short game being woefully weak. MacDonald went the 18 holes In 70. three under par, having 34 going out and 36 coming in.
