Rival Lightweights Clash for Ten

FEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov 81
" What promises to be great
fight will be decided here this
afternoon when Charlie White, the
fast Chicago boy, and Johnny Dun
dee, of New York, clash in ten
round bout. These two boys are
practically the only boxers in the
game to-day of note who can make
1873 pounds ringside and be strong
Both fight best when tipping the
beam around the 1870 pound mark
White and Dundee met in New

fierce ten round scrap. At that time
both We're coming to the front rap
idly and Dundee has never forgotten
that beating. In fact, he has for a
long time made 1t his business to
stay away from the Chicago boy
Now, however, Dundee thinks he
oan take White or any of them TO
lacing. He recently held Champion
Johnny Kilbane to a draw, and any
one who can do that need not fear
the best of them. When T. d. Tor
torich, the local promoter wired all
over the country trying TO secure an
opponent for White, Dundee was one
of the very few who was willing to
meet the Chicagoan.
The boys have been here for the
past week training, so that neither
should have an excuse to offer II de
feated 1t is hard to decide which OF
the two has the better record, each
having fought the best lightweights
in the game. The winner will be in

By Ed w. Smith.
CCORDlNG to dispatches to

n several Of the papers the
other day, the announce
ment was made that Johnny Kill
bane, featherweight champion of
the world, intended to desert the
ranks of the 122-pounders and
become a full-hedged lightweight.
In other words, he intended to
quit looking for game among the
little fellows Of the division and
cast his lot with the bigger men,
along the lines that Abe AttelL
his immediate predecessor, work
ed among the Founders. The
news was all right in its way.
but it wasn't clear enough to
cover the Kilbane plan fully.
From an inside source, which is
none other than the champion
himself, we can clear up this sit
uation and make 1t plain just
what Johnny intends to do.
KILBANE Is going to box lot
~ of the lightweights or such
of them as he can get good money
for fighting, but he does not in
tend to desert the featherweights.
If the occasion arises he will
grab off any Of the featherWeights
that happen to command purse
at the time. But during the in
term of featherWeight bouts he
will battle any of the bigger men
that offer themselves as a pos
sible sacrifice to the skill and
speed OF the wonderful Cleve-
land boy. Holding Abe Attell,
who never quit the feather
weights, although he battled some
of the greatest lightweights, XII
bane intends to take just one
chance, or two-always for the
money.
A BE ATTELL took more than
"a one chance in the ring and
got away with the goods when ne
delved among the 133-pounders.
Along in March, 1908, he fought
Battling Nelson, who wasn't
champion then, but he was so
close to it that everybody figured
it was only matter of a few
months before he would enCom
pass the defeat of the then fast
decaying Joe Cans, who gave
every evidence of being on the
toboggan. The affair was decided
in San Francisco and was one Of
the most peculiar battles ever
held anywhere. The details OF it
go to show the marvellous conf
dence that Attell had In himself.

easily learned, would make it praCti-
cally certain that the runner Could
not be nipped by throw from the
catcher"
MR. COMSTOCK'S criticism
4FI doesn't stop with the runners,
either He says the outfielders waste
fully one third of their time by slow
starting and faul'-' sprinting, and as
serts that, as a fly ball stays in the
air from five to eight second, no hit
of that type ever should be a home
run, unless it cleared the fence.
81 mean to say" says Mr.. Com
stock, that any center fielder know
ink his business and also how to
use his speed properly should be able
to run over to either foul line and
get reasonably long and high foul
fly near the line"
We think that Is putting 1t pretty
stout.
NOW, about Mr.. Comstock's spe-
~ cific criticism.
THE way most ball players run
is simply an athletic crime" he says
1.-THE have the wrong knee action.
place their feet wrongly, and do not
get the upper part Of their bodies
into action at all. Proper coaching
/ and a little practice would speed up
the average professional team beyond
what a baseball manager would be-
lieve possible"
ALL of which Is entertaining
- enough, and very possibly has a
| fair tincture of truth in it,
| But we do recall seeing, in Kansas
| City, the last day of the A. A. season
Of 1912, Ralph Capron, the famous
Minnesota football man and Splinter
pitted against Joe Riggert, merely d
speedy professional baseball player
with no college coaching-and in tht
| hundred yard dash that followed
Capron, running in beautiful forrn
was beautifully trimmed by Riggert
who beat him out by two yards.
| SO we don't know about this thing
you see.

SPORTING COMMENT

the terrible and terrifying Nell
son, and Attell was duly criticised
for the chances he was taking.
But Nelson was not so confident.
Before the contest was started
the Dane, knowing of Attelrs ex-
IRENE Cleverness, insisted that II
both men were on their feet at
the finish of the bout that the
referee be forced to declare It a
draw
r HAT showed how Nelson felt
about the match. This Is
how Attell actually acted during
the contest: For ten rounds he
stood off and boxed with the
Dane, being careful not to per-
NIT the Hegewlsch man to mix
at all freely and always sprinting
out of danger when Nelson got
too close and showed a frenzied
desire to slug with the feather
weight. At the close of the tenth
round Attell. stepping to the CEN
ter Of the ring, said to Nelson:
I've beaten you for ten rounds
at my own game, and now I'm go
ing in for the next five and beat
you at your own game"
w HEREUPoN AtteiI set 70
w and started in to slug with
Nelson. And he kept II up for
five rounds, too, never giving an
inch to the Dane. who. maddened
at the effrontery of the smaller
man, tried desperately to get in
some kind of a telling punch. But
he couldn't and at the close At
tell was about as good as the
man who afterward conquered.
N November Of the same year
Attell went into Los Angeles
and battled Freddie Welsh, then
known as one Of the greatest of
the lightweights, in a fifteen
round battle and lost the decision
in fifteen rounds, but at the finish
he was still whaling away mer-
rily at the Engllshman. They
battled in the rain and on footing
that was so bad that towards the
finish of the contest they had
barely enough room in the CEN
ter Of the ring to stand toe to toe
in the center and slug away.

Bv O. B. Keller.

TN the Off season all brands of ex-
perts, when they aren't figuring
up dope for the next grind. are
letting off fanciful lunches as to how
the game ought to be played. Some
of the lunches are f1sh-llke. Occa-
sionally one makes a noise like hard
money.
Following Is a contribution to the
grandoldgame and its method Of
playing by college man-Boyd
Comstock. Comstock was Harvard
athletic star, and his bunch for ball
PLAYERS is the development of latent
speed. 1nasmuch as Mr.. Comstock's
strong points in collegiate athletics
were rowing and heaving the weights,
we do not see exactly where the
bunch is evolved, but Mr. Comstock's
ideas are interesting.
THE ex-weight juggler, who now IS
/ coach of the University OF Call
fornia track team, believes 1t is a
merely mechanical proposition to
teach any well-built man to run 90
yards at high speed.
Recently Comstock looked over the
members of the Los Angeles and
Sacramento teams, and we have his
word for 1t that he was shocked and
amazed to find that not one OF The
eighteen players engaged in the game
knew how to run.
"The speed Of every man on both
teams could be greatly increased by
a little coaching" said ComstOck,
enough, l should say, to increase
nv 40 per cent the safe arrivals at
first base on balls handled by the
infelders,"
THERE we have Mr.. Comstock's
L point.
Everybody knows that in a great
many Of the plays at first base the
runner, If ne loses the decision, loses
IT by the margin of a single step, or
less. II. Mr.. Comstock could get hold
of a good, lively team Of ball players
and speed up every man on ii to get
to first base one step, or step and
a half, faster than before-why, that
team would show some remarkable
stuff in the way of inffeld hits, and
would improve its chances for win
ming games by a hefty percentage.
THEN Mr.. Comstock believes that
i with a lead OF three yards of
first base it is absurd that any base
stealer should be nipped at second.
Instead Of jumping into their ;or
speed and full stride at once" he as
serts. they take three or four steps
to get started That's the margin
BY which they are pegged out al
second. A sprinting start, which Is
