in his Inimitable way. has drawn on
his imagination to weave story Of
another wise man who journeyed TO
meet the three original ones in their

DUNDEE. silt GRCE AND
JOE NsNDOT PROMISING

Freddy Welsh, for years lightweight
champion of Great Britain, outboxed
Willie Richie in twenty tame rounds
last June and was proclaimed cham
pion of the world. Since that time
Freddy has engaged in half dozen
or more limited round no-decision
contests. but in his latest battle, that
with Young Shugrue, made misera-
BILE showing.
Willie Richie has boxed only once
since losing the title to Welsh. He
met Johnny Dundee I'm a four-round
bout In San Francisco two months ago
and while the referee called IL draw,
the critics insisted that Dundee was
entitled TO a shade decision. Reports
from the west hint that Willie has
taken on considerable flesh OF late and
that II Is doubtful IL he will ever
again be able to fight at the light
weight limit.
OF the younger members of the di-
vision Young Shugrue. Johnny Dun
dee and Joe Mandot are the most
promising. Mandot has apparently
recovered his form and on his recent
record must be figured one of the
most dangerous of the runners-up for
the title. Shugrue and Dundee have
also been coming along very fast. and
bid fair to figure prominently in the
race for the title during the coming
year.
