Dunleavy has been making his head
quarters here in Topeka for some
weeks, and has been training hard for
the last couple of weeks. He has been
in the ring for a number of years and
has announced his willingness to meet
any man in the world at the welter-
weight limit of AS pounds. He has
been in 56 boxing contests, and while
he has lost several of them on decis-
ions, he has been knocked out but
once, and that was by a heavyweight
over in England.
He has won fights from such men as
Jack Burke, Patsey Hurley and Jack
Ryan and has fought a six round draw
with Al Weinig and a ten round draw
with Harry Rodgers. He lost on decis-
Ions to George Block in Is rounds and
Billy Rhodes IN seven rounds and had
a II round draw with Rube Ferns.
About all the fights that Dunleavy
has lost on decisions has been with men
who were heavier than himself. He has
gone out OF his class on a number of
occasions for the purpose of getting a
contest and has won in many instances
from men who were heavier by 20 or 80
pounds than himself. He says that in
the future he is never going to enter
own class and that he is willing to
meet any man in the world under well
terweight conditions.
Cornwall. whom he will meet here on
Thanksgiving day is one of the most
dashy and clever boxers in the country.
In view of the fact that the men have
met thrice before with the honors about
even they ought to put up a fine con-
test.

Dunleavy has a little the best of it.
In the first contest between them Corn
wall got the decision in a six round
bout. Dunleavy secured the decision
in their next fight with a knockout in
the eighth round and in the third fight
they boxed eight rounds to a draw. It
will be seen from this record that the
men are pretty evenly matched and
ought to put up a boxing contest that
