TENDLER MIGHT MAKE LEONARD
STEP SOME IN A TITLE BOUT.
Those who guide the boxing destin.
ies of Lew’ Tendler. of Philadelphia.
are reported to be ready to crawl out.
of their shell again and discuss Ben~
ny Leonard’s proposition for a fifteen-
round fight to a decision. They want
to know If Leonard's refusal to go fif-
teen rounds to a referee‘s verdict
with Johnny Dundee. at Hartford. has
changed his attitude in so far as the
Philadelphia lightweight is concerned.
Though it seems to be the prevailing
Oil that Leonard‘s title. will be lit‘
lie 9 ngered if Tendlcr ever crawls
through the ropes with the champion,
there are some who think the Philadel-
phix‘n will extend the title holder to the
limit. From the innermost circle of
the highbinders who give boxing its ill
repute news has leaked out tha one of
those "gentlemen's agreements” gov-
erned the recent Tendler-Jackson con-
test in Philadelphia. It was to havo
been a fast boxing match. with both
.men keeping their haymakers under
leash. Jackson, however. is said to
have ”crossed" Tendler by sneakir‘
over a TNT thump on the unsuspect-
ing Philadelphinn tn the first round.
The punch landed and Tendler was
knocked out, but saved from the ig-
nominy by a count that consumed more
than the fatal ten seconds. After be
in: knocked kicking Tendler came
back and fought like a wildcat. beat-
ing Jackson all over the. ring. Ten-
dler‘s renurkable recovery is one
;thlng that leads many to think that
3the Phlladelphian is too tough a prop-
osition for Leonard to stop inside of
fifteen rounds. Jackson has a terrible
wallop and he landed flush on the chin
of the unsuspecting Tendler. Tl-nt the
‘Quaker was able to recover as quick-
ly as he did. even if not inside ten sec-'
ands. spooks well for his stamina and
recupentive ability. It is on those
qualities Tendler's supporters are
banking that the Quaker goes the
route with the champion in the event
they meet.
EDDIE ROUSH. OF ClNClNNATl,
'. NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPION
BATTER FOR 1919.
Eddie Roush. of Cincinnati. and not
Roger Hornsby, of St. Louis, is the
1919 batting champion of the National
League. Some time ago it was an-
nounced by various unofficial statistic-
ians that Hornsby had managed
take the title out of the grasp of
Roush. Hornsby was ctcdited with
having hit .322 in 138 games, while
Roush's figures for 133 games were an-
nounced as being .320. Roush's per-
centage 'is corlcct enough and will be
verified by the official records When
John Heydler makes them public ln~
the near future. But Hornsby's aver-
age was incorrect. Investigation into
the dope on which the averages were
lcompiled yesterdaydeveloped the fact
‘that the box score of 3. Labor Day game
2in Pittsburgh credited Hornsby with
having made three hits,
Horn-shy had made no hits.
‘ a. result Hornsby’s corrected rec-
ord hows that he made 162 hits in
512 legal times at bag-ad that he hit
for an average’of .319, which places
him second to Rough. Roush made
whereas
161 hits in 503 legal times at ‘bat for:
'.320. Roush’s average sures with
-Larry Doyle’s .320 of 1915, the distinct-
‘ion of being the lowest which "or

' Envious Quakers are saying severe
.tbings about lee (3de. our es-
‘teemed middleWeight champion. One
‘censorious critic deciliter that the
champion will never lose his middle-

to restrict his contests to welter-
weights. The charge also ls mode that
Michael refuses to make a match with
Jeff Smith unless the purse is as big
as the ‘War debt. and that on the occa-
sion of O'Dowd'a bout with Steve Latxo,
the champion refused to have Smlthi
introduced from the ring or permit
him to challenge the title «holder from
the ringside.
Those who have seen Mike in action
in the ring and who know that he was
in action at the front in Frame do not
believe that he is afraid of any mid-
dleewight in the world. and further-
more that he will not hesitate to meet
any. light heavyweight in the game.
Possibly Philadelphia is slightly pre-
