Sixteen years ago last night in Mad'-
son Square Garden James J. Corbctt
knocked out Kid Mccoy In tho NTH
round Of their sensational fight. the last
big battle held before the repeal Of the
Horton law.
Last night in Madison Square Garden
Johnny Dundee and Joe yelling put up
one of the most cockle-of-thc-hcart
warming scraps that has been seen in
this nec!. of the weeds since Joe
HUMPHREYS was in his sNaddlirg clothes.
There was no knockout there wasn't
even a knockdown, but there Was action
aplcnty from tho hrst to the final clang
OF the gong. The two crack lishtwoiChts
crowdcd more real milling in one round
than ordinarily Is seen III sixty.
Dundee was tho inner but not by a
great margin. yelling gave him elor-
! ious combat and fought himself right
into the hearts Of the local fight fans.
Dundee Too Fast.
The lightning fast and clever Italian
was too speedy and foxy for the hard
hitting Chicagoan. Johnny was better
gated for ten rounds than was Joe.
Most Of the fans left the building with
the impression that in a longer battle
yelling would Lee able to turn tho
ables. Joe also flashed a brand OF mill
ing that proves him "A worthy contender
for the lightweight title and many OF
the experts think his style is just the
Ola tn catch and sion tho light weight
champion. Freddie Welsh, p
Weaving in and out, ducking. fcintiur,
thrusting like a Eamecock seeking TO
drive steel spurs in the vitals OF his rival.
Dundee repeatedly got inside Wellins's
defences in the early rounds and landcd
countless lefts and rights TO head aud
body. Joe took the punishment wi,hoG;
a whirpcr and, like a bulldog stolidlN
waiting Tor the nance to get the throat
hold. kept walking steadily in and seek
ing the opening 10 land a ha.maker,
Several times in the later rounds Joe
found holes in Dundee's defence through
which he crossed rights To the jaw that
staggered Dundee from head to heel.
Twice Joe smashed rights to tho wind
that looked as il the maulers wo-c going
to come out OF ~Johnny's back, hut each
time Dundee rallied and fought back Ike

Dundee did most of his execution
with his left hand. lie repeatedly rocked
yelling with vicious left hooks. Johnny
right did not seem to pack tho power
his left did. Johnny landed three punches
to Joe's one. but there was lots more
dynamite in .Ioc's right than there was
in J%ohnny's. left.
The only time that Dundee really
had Welling IN danger was in tho nnil
wound u.h., hn F,II,vtnI ,,. 1,T, I..t-
with another that swished upward with
great power and almost topped yelling
to the canvas. Johnny didn't notice how
seriously the punch had affected WcliiuS
and failed to follow up.
There was one suspicious happening
that marred the bout. when the bell
changed the end of the nth round Dun
dee dropped his hands to his sides. Well
ing, apparently not hearing tho bcN,
stepped IN and whaled dundee wifi
smashing lefts and rights. Dundee, with
hands hanging limp, got thro" tcrrih"
left and right swings to the head and
two savage rights To the wind.
