Of Brooklyn Not only was Dundee de-
feated on points, but ne received clean
knockdown blow in the fourth round,
and that 10 something that seldom has
happened to the sturdy italian who has
designs on the lightweight crown that
sits on the head Of Freddie Welsh. The
knockdown In the fourth was the most
spectacular feature Of . bout that
bristled with sensations.
Dundee was hopping up and down like
Mark Twain's Jumping Frog, and Wal
lace was dancing vis-a-vis, when sud
denly the Brooklynite feinted with the
left. As Wallaces left had been col
liding steadily with Dundee's nose for
three rounds. the Italian ducked to avoid
II. wallace then hooked a short right
to the chin and Dundee sprawled on his
back near his own corner. He arose
without waiting for the count. but was
plainly grogey and wabbled palpably.
Wallace rushed at his foe and rained
lefts and rights on him. Dundee olinched
and used his feet IN an effort TO escape
the fusiliade. but the Brooklyn boy kept
on top Of his man and at the bell they
we're in the centre OF the ring. Wallace
punching hard with both hands and Dun
dee holding and hitting. Owing to the
uproar OF tho crowd that packed the

and banged away at each other I'LL
Referee Haukop tore them apart and
waved them to their corners.

nent a lightweight as Dundee. were
astounded. and as the Brooklynite had
won tho three opening rounds there was
shift OF opinion as to the outcome
Apparently Wallace had tired himself
by his exertions In the previous round.

sion he had perceptibly slowed in his
movements However. ne boxed with
great clevcrness and won the round
handily.
Wallace rreshened IN the sixth and
mixed II fur!ously with Dundee, who
was now the agRressor ana had recov-
cred from the effects OF his knockdown.
Dundee then began a system OF body
attack that weakened Wallace and the
Brooklyn boy lost speed. although ne
hoxed we'll enough to mako the round
an even one
Wallace was perceptibly tired when
he came out for the eighth and Dundee
rushed and smashed the body with both
hands. getting some heavy hits TO the
, face also. Wallace was in distress at
the bell and II was Dundee's round by a
wide margin.
Dundee's adherents called on him IA
| nnish wallace In the ninth and the
italian certainly tried his best. He
poked Wallace In the body with his left
and reached his face repeatedly with
tho right. but Wallace. while tired and
reel'ng. managed TO keep his feet I'LL the
gong sounded. and II was indeed vel
como sound TO the Brooklyn boy.
