IF Freddie Welsh was five years
younger. there would not be a light
bic chance against him in 20 rounds

felt that I could beat him at the weight

ing circles-one when Johnny Dundee
received the newspaper verdict over
Willie Richie in New York ana the
other when Ted Lewis, the English boy,
defeated Joe Mandot at Boston. Ihere
were many of the opinion that Joe Man
dot would be able to defeat the clever
Briton, but the southern lad never mad
a chance
1t must be admitted, however, that
Lewis had the advantage OF seVeral
pounds in weight, but even with this
advantage he was MandoTs master
when it came to cleVerness and hitting.
Lewis is practically out of the light
weight class now, being unable TO make
133 pounds. and il is doubtful whether
he can make 135 and be strong
Mandot put up his usual good battle
and the fans were more than pleased
which is a great deal these days
Dundee Too Fast.
In the other case, Ritchie had a
and still lost the newspaper decision.
He found Dundee too fast for him in
the early rounds. the little Italian pill
ing up points so fast that Ritchie, when
he did get going in the eighth. could
not overtake him 1t is suEely a great
triumph for Dundee and proves to
Richie that he cannot expect to do stage
work all the time and remain in proper
fighting condition Willie was not able
TO fathom Dundee's style until the
eighth round, when il was too late to
do effective work against him.
It also proves that Dundee is a great
133 FOUNDER. one Of the best in the
world. and if there is q man who should
have a crack at Freddie Welshs title it
IS the same Dundee. Charlie White and
the Italian should fight it out now to
see which one viii be given first chance
against Welsh
Another lad who proved he has a
wallOp is George Clancy, Of Baltimore,
who knocked out Jack White Of Chi
cago in one round Clancy IS a great
fighter at 124 pounds, but he says he
viii make 122 for Kiibane in cham
pionship battle. Here is a chance for
the champion TO show that he really
wants to defend his title
