The Woodmen of the World stepped
into firet place in the Metropolitan league
by virtue of their double win over the
Nebraska Tires at Kontenelle park yes
terday afternoon, while the Murphy-Dld
Its wer** being downed for the third time
out of the last five games by the Stand
ard Laundry at Muny beach. The Wows
» hold the lead by a whole game margin.
The Laundrymen went Into a tie with
the Tires for third place in the per cent
column when they won from fhe Dld-Ita
and will stand a good chance to surprise
the boys by winning the Class A bunting,
as the Metro loop splits into two di
visions this week.
Nearly 9.000 persons saw the feature
repetition bill at Fonteneile. The first
contest was a near slugfest, while the
second was a perfect twirling duel for
nine frames, only to be stopped in the
extra inning when the Woodmen went
on a hitting spree and sent across seven
runs. The Tires led most of the way in
both contests, only to lose the double
header when they displayed erratic ball
during the final stanzas.
Lawrence Custer of the losers deserves
' more credit than any local amateur
hurler thus far this season when he
opposed the new league leaders on the
mound for Id 2-3 innings and allowed
them but eight scent hits in both rnn-!
tests until his hacking broke behind him
and the Woodmen scored several tallies
In the 10th Inning of the second contest
Custer demonstrated excellent control and
prover himself one of the best hurlers in
the Metro league.
Jimmy Moore and Rrupskl hurled good
bail for the top notchers and received
excellent support throughout both twists.
In the second affair of the afternoon
Krupsl set the Tires down with but three
hits and as many runs, while the win
Deis h**ld scoreless for six frames After
■coring one run In both the seventh and
eighth, with two out, and trailing by a
single score, Tracy w»« sent In to pinch
hit for Stilmock. This artist sent the
willow Into s fast one and sent the apple
to deep right for a home run, which
knotted the count.
—
After tying the count by Tracy's homer
' the Woodmen came to bat In the 10th
and scored a volley of seven runs to take
the (‘Isas A leadership. Six errors great
ly aided this extra inning rally. Jimmy
Moore also hit at needy times during the
» final innings when he took Macaguo's
post at cetiterfleld
ftulph Beers held the former league
leaders to seven scattered hits and won
for his mates at Muny Beach, « to J.
The Standards landed hard on the of

held throughout. Allen, the Dld-Ita
mound ace, was forced to he relieved

For the first time this season Beers
had the honor of striking Ike Mahoney
out two times yesterday afternoon.

Firpo to Fight in Omaha; Cancel
Schlaifer-Billy Wells Bout
Luis Angel Firpo, the wild bull of the Pampas, 1s to fight in Omaha
on August 3.
This announcement was made yesterday by E. H. McCorthy, com
mander of the South Omaha post of the American Legion which will
stage the battle.
The tight will be staged at the baseball park. Flrpo'a opponent has
not been selected yet.
The deal to bring Firpo to Omaha was closed this morning. The
South Omaha post of the American I/oglon began to negotiate for Firpo
immediately after the South American's victory over Jess Willard. It
was planned to put him against "Tiny Jim" Herman.
Hrpo nt first agreed- to come.
Then Tex Rickard began to ne
gotlat* for a Perfipsey Flrpo fight
and the Argentinian called oft the
proceedings.
Rut a hitch apparently ha* de
veloped in the Dempsey deal and this
morning "Bill’’ McCarney, Firpo's
agent, called Omaha by long distance
telephone to say that Firpo would be
able to fulfill the Omaha engagement.
The South Omaha post then got in
touch with Jack Dew!*, Herman's
manager, hut Lewi* In the meantime
had signed up for a match In Butte
on July 30.
So another opponent must be found
for Firpo. The South American, ap
prized that Herman was no longer
available, agreed to fight anybody
the South Omaha post selected. Mc
Carthy is now angling for the serv

Lew Tendler Only Southpaw Who
Reached Heights of Ring Greatness
r>_ p
IEW TENDLER is the only southpaw boxer who
-J ever reached the heights of true greatness, although a
pair of portsiders—A1 McCoy and Johnny Wilson—won the
world's middleweight title. McCfljr and Wilson were n^wr highly regarded
by ye fistic bug, however. The former was the poorest fighter who ever held
a championship, while a succession of events have prevented Wilson from
proving Just how good—or bad—a boxer he really Is.
Heorge Chaney, Danny Kramer and K. O. Rrown are the f^ily other
southpaws who ever reached positions of promlnehre. Kramer seemed
destlhed to batter his way to flstlana's throne room a couple years ago. but
after knocking out .lark Wolfe and several other top notchers he drifted back
Into the ranks of the second raters. Chaney has h«en hovering around the
top of the lightweight heap for several years and although he Is exceedingly
dangerous he Is not of championship caliber. Brown wss a fair rough and
tumble fighter, but nothing more. i
Most lefthanders are woefully slow, easily hit and horribly awkward.
Tendler, however, Is a corking boxer, s splendid ring general, a terrific punch
er and as game as any man In the ring. He is undoubtedly the leading con
tender for the crown which has reposed a-top Leohard's noble dome for six
yenra and more. During the nine years he has spent flinging his educated
dukes Lew has lost but three bouts. Rocky Kansas won a decision over Lew
two years ago when the Philadelphian was "rusty," due to a long period of
Idleness. Last yenr Leonard shaded Tendler In their 12-round classic at Jer
rev CMy and about three years ago Kddle Kltrsimmons gained a newspaper
decision over Lew in a bout that appeared to he a Dan McCJee.
Tendler has beaten, among others, Johnny Dundee. Willie Jackson, Sailor
Freedman, Pal Morah, Mel Coogan. Alex Hart, Richie Mitchell, Pinkie
Mitchell, Johnny Tillman, fiver Hammer, Rocky Kansas. Joe Welling, Tele
Herman and Patsy Cline.
Today Dew probably Is not ns good
a fighter an he was about four years
ago. In this writer's opinion he
reached the peak of his form when he
met Willie Jackson In a six round no
decision contest at Philadelphia back
In the summer of 1919. Jackson, a
prodigious puncher who had knocked
out Johnny Dundee a short time be
fore, dropped Tendler twice In the
first round. When the bell rang Dew
was flat on hie back, dead to the
world. Ills handlers dragged him to
hla corner and worked frantically In
an effort to revive him. Tendler. who
Is blessed with wonderful vitality, re
cuperated quickly and was seemingly
as strong as ever when he left hla cor
ner for the second session.
From the moment the bell rang be
ginning the second round until It
clanged at the end of the sixth Tendler
gave Jnckson a terrific beating He
closed both the New Yorker’s eyes,
knocked out his teeth, opened cuts
under his chin, on his cheeks and his
forehend. battered him cruelly about
the body- in fact, did everything but
knock him nut. Jukson never recov
ered from that beatlnir; during the
paat two years he has been defeated
repeatedly by preliminary boxers and
not Ion* a (to was knocked out by
Johnny Shuttrue.
Tendler was superb thst nlRht. Tt
Is doubtful If fhe llRhtwelKht ever
lived who could hsve beaten him as
he boxed from the second round to the
sixth.

lenger with two stiff rights to the
Jaw just before the bell stopped the
challenger's rush. Tendler's seconds
showered him with water when he
came to his corner and the champion
listened patiently to his handler’s ad
vice.
Hound Five.
Leonard met Tendler's rush and
they exchanged evenly, moving to
neutral corner wher they clinched.
Leonard was getting much the better
of the clinches now. shooting both
hands to the challenger's Jaw and
then crossing both hands to the Jaw
when they separated. They clinched
lightly and then Leonard speared in
effectively with his left. Leonard
sunk a right to Tendler's jaw and
then whipped two uppercuts to the
jaw. Tendler landed a left to the
mouth and then hooked his left to
the breast. The champion jabbed ex
pertly with his left which bothered
Tendler who missed and ran away
Tendler caught Leonard with a hard
left to the belt and then took a left
cross to the head. They rushed into
a stiff body exchange just as the bell
rang.
Round Six.
The majority of experts agreed
that the champion was eladlng by a
comfortable margin at this stage.
They met in the center and clinched,
Leonard hooking a left to the jaw- a
moment later. They danced around.
Tendler s right was short and Leon
ard slashed him with a left. When
the champion whipped his right to
the body and bothered Tendler with
a left jab. Leonard had much the
better of a clinch, sending both
hands to the Jaw. Leonard backed
to the ropes for a rest and stepped
aside when Tendler moved up, allow
ing the latter to slip through the
rope. W’hen the latter regained his
equilibrium they shood hands in the
center of the ring. Leonard sent solid
rights to the jaw, the body and to the
Jaw again, and had no difficulty in
avoiding Tendlers left lead. The
champion appeared the least worried
as they hacked away from a light ex
change in answer to the gong.
Hound Seven.
They sparred for a second after
the bell and then both fell away.
Leonard gave an opening and Tend
ler rushed In with a light left to the
Jaw. Tendler relaxed for a moment
and Leonard whipped out two rights
to the Jaw. Tendler turned away
desultorily and Leonard whipped two
rights to his exposed body. Leonard
dug his right under Tendler's ribs.
They exchanged lightly and when
they came together Leonard sunk
two more hard rights Just above the
belt line. Tendler again walked into
the ne.utral corner trap where he
was caught with a two-handed attack
to the head. Tendler. who was mak
ing a poor showing, fell back against
the ropes and Leonard used both
hands to the Jaw some more. They
sparred lightly and were boxing when
the bell rang.
Round Eight.
Tendler's manager used force in his
talk during the intermission for the
champion had a wide margin by now.
Evidently Tendler took the advice for
he rushed twice into the lead, but his
accuracy was as poor as before and
Leonard took a respite. The referee
cautioned Tendler for using the rab
bit punch. They danced around.

more when Tendler clinched. Tendler

stomach that gave a resounding
plump. Leonard jabbed with his
right. Leonard caught Tendler with
three right crosses in the champion's
corner and the challenger appeared
worried when the bell rang.

and Leonard s conlnued to offer advice.

Carefree Feelinp of Week-End
Is Given a? Reaeon for
Smaehups.
Blue Monday isn’t confined to pas
tors.
Several score of Omaha motoristi
also have that blue, despondent feel
ing each Monday, according to local
garage men.
Smashups are the reason. There
are dorens of 'em, every Sunday. And
Monday is the day when unlucky au
tomobile owners begin to wonder h"ur
much it'll take to get a new left
fender, or a new right front wheel c r
a new windshield
Automobile ambulances work over
time. not only on Sunday, but on Sat
urday night, the garage men say.
While not posing as a psychologist,
one garage man endeavored to ana
lyse the reason for these smashups
somewhat as follows:
"People start out in their cars Sat
urday night with the knowledge that
they're free until - Monday morning.
They sort of let go. get careless and
push the old accelerator a bit harder
than they usually do. The next thing
they know they've don* a cracef-,,1.
dive through their windshield or soni^^^
thing. Of course, the fact that there
are more cars being driven is one
reason for the Increase In accidents.
But the carefree feeling which cornea
only on Saturday night or Sunday, a
sort of a holiday spirit. Is mostly re
sponsible.”
Apparently not over 50 cars wera
wrecked Sunday. About that num
ber were reported by garages, when a
telephone query was conducted this
mottling.
It was a bad day at the Ames ga
rage and the Blackstone garage. Beth
garages reported that not a single
wrecked car had been brought tn for
repairs. The Blackstone garage was
one of the few which reported that
Sunday business seldom exceeds that
of any other day.
The Boulevard garage also report
ed an absence of smashups. but de
clared that Sunday is a big day for
bustnesa ordinarily, as did a ma
jority of the other garages.
