It teema mighty strange to me that a boxer with the nerve to proclaim himself champion can not stand on his own ns a drawing enrd, but must use Leonard's name to help draw money In at the gate. "I have tried to find out from Tendler how much money, flat, he will nccept for nn opportunity to box Leonard. As yet ho has named no figure, I am sure when he does so he will convince everyone that ho Is by no means sincere In his claims. "I have been offered 10,000 pounds for Leonard In a match with Ernlo Rlce'ln England nnd we may Jump serosa for a month or so this summer. 1 have also received n good offer for a Leonard-Lewis match, nnd the only stipulation I will mnke, if we take, that on, Is that Ted must make the welterweight limit.
