MM MM; MM ' Six Years Ago Tendler Was Hustling "Extras" on Streets of Philadelphia "Socks" His Way to. Fortune . v BY DEAN SNYDER. A great SOUTH UAW hand has tak en Lew Tendler, Philadelphia light weight, along fortune's path to the doors of success and riches all within the period of a half dozen years. Literally he has "southpawed" hlu way up from a newsboy of the streets to wealth and. to a point In the "light weight division where Is the chief contender for Champion Benny Leon ard's title. Just n Newslc. Six years ago he and his present manager. Phil Glassirian. were bust ing the "extras" for the newsies' pen ny fee. Today they count their earnings in the thousands and promoters, who de sire to engage the SOUTHPAW for an evening's work, must talk In thousands to do business with this pair. Tendler recently bought a three-story brick home in one of the best rebl dence districts of Philadelphia. He drives a big Stuu touring car. He owns valuable real estate and, being a great admirer of "glitter rocks," he has a smaller fortune Invested in diamonds. Quick to capitalize his popularity as a boxor. in partnership with Glass man, he runs a omart haberdashery shop near Penn Square where the fight fans can come in and buy silk shirts along with their tickets to Lew a fights. 'I'll Live But Once." "I'll live but once," sa6 Lew, "so I figure I might as well have what I .want right now. "I never have to. worry about tho financial end of my bouts. Classman attends to all that. He was my pal when we were newsboys together and he Is still Just the same to .me In our 'southpaw' business." Tendler fights often. His purses are big. As themoncy rolls in he invests it where it will grow. Never LVe Alibi. He admits that Eddie Fitzsimmons caught him on an off night, recently . and outpointed him. "Can't always be at your best, you know. Boxing is just like any bther business," he says. "Tho New York er won't trouble next time If I'm right, and I generally am. ltv was the first decision against me since I have been a contender for the crown." ' Tendler knocked tho crown off Georges Papln. the French lightweight champion, the other night. He is all " Swapping Captains i John McGraw has given his maoh-i Ine another overhauling. He not only, tinkered with a big cylinder of his organization, but with the magneto,! Itself, when he swapped Arther Flet-i cher. captain and veteran shortBtop1 of the Giants, for Dave Bancroft, captain of the Phillies and rated as the best shortstop In the game. Ale Graw felt that the vital spark that would pull his ball club out of the continued slump lay in tho short field position. He tried to buy Roger Hornsby from tho Cards and failed. Hp tempted the manager of the Braves for "Rabbit" Ilaranvllle in vain. So when Carvit put his premier otar on the block McGraw was quick to act Arthur Fletcher has gone through 1 1 seasons with the Giants, sharing In four world scries. He has always I been an aggressive player. Since 1918 Arthur started out as brilliant as even DEMPSEY HEADY ! TO FINN' I Jack Kearns Says Champ j Wants to Meet Carpentier j or Anybody Else . ! SAN FRANCISCO, June 16 Jack Kearnn, manager for Jack Dempaey, heavyweight champion of the world, announced today that Dempscy would . be ready within two weeks to meel Georges Carpentier, the French heavy weight, or "he will fight anyono else In the world If Carpentier is unwilling to talk fight." Labor Day was sug gested as the dato for the proposed contest. i Kearns Issued a statement assort- Ing that Dompaey'8 acquittal yesterday of a draft evasion chargo In tho Unit ed States district court here left his war record clear and that "there could bo no more whispered campaign car ried on About him." Ho said ho and the champion needed a lvo weeks' Irest after tho strain of the trial and then they would bo ready to arrange for a bout with the Frenchman. Kearns' statement In part said: "Now Georges Carpentier, we're ready. If you have come to America to fight, hero's your chance. Jack Dcmpscy Is frop and ready to; moot you anywhere in tho world." ' The this spring. He admits that a "char leyhorso" Is responsible for his recent showing. Whllo Fletcher Is not happy in leaving New York, the scone of his best years as a ball player.perhapa yet he believes the acquisition of Ban- croft will strengthen the McGrawlles. Ho is 34 years old. Dave Bancroft has played five seasons for tho Phillies. He is regard-; ed as the greatest defensive shortstop; now In the game. This spring Dave', played In 2S games before making aii error, accepting 1S8 chances, lie Is a .L'GO hitter and a heady player at: all times. McGraw believes that with1 Boncroft playing shortstop for tho j 1 Giants tho team will take on a new , lease in spirit. The Fletcher-Bancroft swap may only be tho first of the ' move on the part of Muggsy to rebuild a faltering ball club, Bancroft is i'b years old. chance you have been asking for. a crack at tho title, Is yours. The next iiuovo Is also yours. "I haven't at this time the slightest i idea where a Dcmpsey-Carpontler I match will take place, if, indeed, Car ipentler is as anxious now as before to) meet the champion. The site of the I fight, of course, 1b up to tho promoter. making the best offer. Tho next big! I dale on which a fight of this size I 'could be well held is Labor Day. We 'will be ready to fight then. We "will bo ready to fight lyiforo that If the pub lic demands it. Carpentlor comes first with us, but If he is unwilling to talk (fight at once, we'll fight anyone clso I'm the world." oo FRENCH TO ASSIST j KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NKW HAVEN. Conn.. Jum- i:-.

White says the fight managers arc responsi ble for the many crooked deals that aro pulled off' in tho glovo game, and besides thorc Is no more need of a fighter having a manager than there is need for hair on a telegraph pole. Whito was a fighter back In the days when fighters had to fight and for small pay. He took part In tho first fight held in New York stato under the old .Horton law. In that en gagement he beat iMarty McCue. and. strange as It may seem, Marty McCue In now a representative and has al ways worked for the uplift of tho glove game In his native state. Killing the Sport. "Fight managers are killing tho sport." said While. "Thoy aro always figuring a big slice of money for them selves, and nine times out of leu when a crooked fight has boon staged the ,flghtcrs wore brought together first by a couple of scheming managers who probably could not earn a dollar in any other line of business; "J novor had . a.,managcr but once... I did allow Parson Davies to call him- business in the ring and his knockout list predominates. He beat Pinky Mitchell recently. Just to show he wasn't partial 10 any mcmoer of the family of fighting brothers he went back to the Cream City and took on FJchle, the elder. On Bcnnah's Trail. His chief goal now is a match with Leonard for the title. Ills record proves him the' logical lightweight to take a shy at the belt. The weight question seems to be up to Bonny since Tendler is a natural lightweight, never weighing over 133 pounds; This is the best oven-bet big match on the ring horizon Just .now. They generally consider a "lefty" i In the boxing ring clumsy, but Lewi is so smooth In his work that he makes his opponent look awkward. Tendler Is still a boy. His success has come early In life. He is Just old enough to vote. 'Twenty-ono and riches" and his SOUTHPAW did it. oo CRACK SECOND BASEMAN KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS NEW YORK, June lf. Roger Hornsby, St. Louis National second baseman, for whom Branch Rickey announced he recently had refused a $200,000 offer, was knocked uncon scious today by a ball thrown by Shortstop Lavan of the Cardinals In the contest with Now York. Tho ball hit him on the back of the head. Hornsby was relieved by Janvrin and it la believed he may be out of the game for several days. j JOHNSON'S GREATNESS. ANN ARBOR.
