after STIFF GAME.
Dinsdale Up Against
a Big, Propo-
sition.
ROSENBERG HAS EXPERIENCE.
Worcester Boxer Has Not
Demonstrated His Ability
to Fight Boston Lad.

his fight with Maurice Rosenberg of
Session. at the Nutone Athletic Club of
Lowell, July 8. They are to box 10
ounds at 1875 pounds. If the referee
unable to give decision in Is rounds
IN extra five rounds will be ordered.
The men will box for so per cent of
the gate receipts. The date is good
one for fight, being the night before
The Fourth" when a large crowd Of
sports should attend. There will be
no side bet on the match. When the
match was made, there was consider
able talk that Rosenberg would not put
up side bet. 1t isn't at all certain
that George p. King, who backed Dins-
dale in the match with Rosenberg that
didn't take place would put up side
bet himself. SO the fight will take
place for the purse alone
Dnsdale will be conditioned by Joe
Flaherty who prepared him in the
other match. 1t will be a warm con-
test, and the Worcester lad goes against
a stiff game when he meets the Bos-
ton man. How well the latter is thought
of, was shown recently when his friends
wanted to match him against Patsy
Sweeney, if the latter would come to
charged with running away from Ro-
senberg when they were matched TO
fight in Portland last winter. Rosen-
berg is a stiff fighter. and can take a
tremendous amount of punishment.
He and Dinsdale met last winter in
Cambridge in what was to have been
a 10-round go, but which was stopped
by the police in seven rounds. The
cause for stopping the fight was not ap-
n anzrhn1W neither inflicted
the slightest injury on the other, where
as there were battles the same evening
that We're stiff.
Dinsdale outpointed Rosenberg, in
that he landed the most blows, but he
didn't inJure the Boston man a par
ticle. The latter didn't do hardly any
work, although he sent in an occasional
punch that hurt, His fighting would
give a person the impression that he
wasn't trying at all, but was simply
sizing up Dinsdale. He did show, how
ever that he can hit, while Dinsdale
didn't make that quality appear to any
extent.
Dinsdale's stock took a big boom
after his 15-round draw with Jack
Dwyer, at Hartford, Memorial day eve
ming. 1t is doubtful If there was any
good reason for such a boom. Consi-
derable information which has come
to light since the match takes much
from Dinsdale's showing. Worcester
sports have since learned that Dryers
party posted before the fight a deposit
of $3.50 to guarantee that Dwyer would
not knock out Dinsdale. An agreement
was made before the men went in the
ring that they should make a draw and
the purse Of 5000 should be divided.
The agreement was carried out.
Dwyer certainly did not try to put
out Dinsdale. He made many vicious
right swings, and even friends of Dins-
dale who were not on acknowledged
that any Of the swings would have put
Dinsdale away If they landed. To look
back at the bout it does seem peculiar
that Dwyer could not get in a single
right swing, but landed every one of
them on the back Of Dinsdale's neck
in so they would not hurt. There is
hardly any doubt but Dwyer could
have put them in a little quicker and
hurt Dinsdale had his hacker not post
ed $3.50 that Dwyer would not make
anything but draw.
Dwyer was in Worcester the Satur-
day previous to the fight and had a
conference with George P. King. That
fact has been known for several days
and no money was wagered on the
Rosenberg-Dinsdale fight until after
Dwyer had been in Worcester.
Dinsdale is a good boy. but he's
launching out for stiff game when he
seeks Rosenberg. The latter has been
q trial horse for every boxer of his
weight who has acquired national fame
and was always a conscientious per-
former. He has proved that it takes
a mighty good man to whip him and
Dinsdale has not yet demonstrated that
ne possesses fighting ability for that
Had his go with DWyer been the real
thing and his work been as good as Ii
was, Dinsdale might be considered as
licensed to 90 against Rosenberg, but
when everything was fixed beforehand
it was easy enough for Dinsdale to
make n good showing. He couldn't do
anything else. Dwyer openly boosted
after the bout that he could have put
Dinsdale away in the second round had
ne been disposed. He made that state
ment to The Spy man in the presence
Of several Worcester men. Some Of
them gave him the laugh because Dins-
dale had shown up as good as he in
their opinion. but when they learned a
day or two later that Dwyer was under
a bond of $3.50 not to knock out Dinsdale
they stopped to think Of what Dwyer
had said.
The Worcester men who witnessed
Dinsdalefs bout and we're intensely par
tial to him thought he should have re-
ceived a decision. Dryer was a strang-
er TO the Hartford crowd vet the big
gest portion Of the crowd thought
Dryer should have received the decis-
ion. Neither did any execution to
speak of. but Dryer did all the fight
ing. Dinsdale has a bad failing IN that
he never leads but waits for the other
