BENNY LEONARD SUCCESSFULLY i
DEFENDS TITLE AGAINST LEW |
TENDLER IN 15 ROUND BATTLE
I
NEW YORK. July 21. — Benny
Leonard, of New York, successfully
defended his title of world's light
weight champion against Lew Tend
ler, of Philadelphia!! in a 15 round
bout at the Yankee Stadium last
night before a crowd of 65,000 per
sons.
This was Leonard’s second victory
over the challenger.
LEONARD IS KING
According to the dispatches sent
out by radio and picked up by J. C.
Anderson, second radio man on the
steamer Alaska, Leonard, king of the
lightweights for the past six years
demonstrated conclusively his undis
puted title to the throne by trounc
ing Tendler in a slashing and bit
terly fought fifteen rounds before
a crow'd of more than sixty thousand
that paid a half million dollars to
see the match, setting a new high
mark for a championship battle out
side the heavyweight class.
Leonard outgeneraled, outboxeedand
outpunched his foremost rival from
the start to the finish. He held the
upper hand and had Tendler at the
verge of a knockout at the clos *.
The judge's verdict at the finish
was merely a formality.
Spectacular as the fight was, it
lacked the thrill and suspense of
their memorable battle of a year ago
at Boyle's Thirty Acres where Leon
ard, hanging on at one stage, barely
was able to gain the margin of safe
ty for his victory.
Leonard last night fought with
consummate skill and was master
of the ring tactics. He had the
rugged southpaw challenger baffled
by the speed and precision of his
attack while at the same time
three blows to one of Tendler’s he
landed.
Tendler on the other hand seemed
slow and lethargic by comparison
to the title holder. He was blocked
in his favorite method of attack,
whereof Leonard apparently had per
fected a remarkable defense.
Although Tendler’s offensive was
ineffective and he repeatedly went
wild he stood up gamely and fought
to a finish.
Tendler showed the worst form
since he became a serious contender
contender for Leonard’s title,etaoi
for Leonard’s title, Leonard hitting
accurately all the while and Tend
ler most inaccurately.
Leonard weighed 134 pounds and
Tendler 133 1-2 pounds.
