LEONARD HELD TO
DRAW BY DUNDEE
New York Lightweight Put Up
a Remarkable Battle in
Philadelphia.
EACH EARNS 3 ROUNDS
ny GEORGE n. UNDERWOOD.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 15.-Bcnny Leon
ard and Johnny Dundee. New Yort's
leading contenders for the lightweight
championship. fought six slashing and
scintillating rounds to draw at the
Olympia A. c. tonight. Not In the
memory of the oldest follower OF boxing
in this city have two gladiators crowded
so much skill and action into eighteen
minutes Of boxing.
They battled like bulldogs from the
first to the final clang of the gong. And
at the end, had Referee Pop u Brien
been empowered to render a decision. he
would probably have raised the right
hand OF both men aloft in token OF a
draw.
No two knights OF the fve ounce
glove ever appeared AZ closely matched
or fought more thrilling and closer
contest. Leonard started off as if he
were going to win on the chinstrap. his
! lightning left Jab keeping Dundee at
| distance and his cool cleverness making
him appear the master and Dundee the
! novice.
But Dundee found himself in the third
round and. tearing In with the savage
ness of pit bulldog, trying for the
throat hold. backed Leonard around the
ring with the very fury OF his assault.
Blazing away with snappy lefts and
rights. Dundee kept Leonard on the run.
, Benny blocked or ducked many OF
Johnny's lends. but tho Italian landed
enough solid punches TO make Benny
think Of home and mother.
! Dundee led in the third and fourth
sessions just as Leonard did in the frs'
two rounds. The ffth round went to
! Benny By a shade and Dundee showed a
Sigh; superiority In the final frame

! There were no knocKdowns. but that
was the fault Of neither fighter as both
! tried desperately to land n haymakei
and put every ounce Of their weight be-
hind their blows. Each was frequently
staggered. but neither was hit hard
! enough TO lie sent TO the canvas.
: II will take more than six rounds tt
decide the superiority between Dundee
and Leonard. From tie way the pail
fought here tonight II will he decided,
unwise on Champion Freddie Welsh''
part to take on either man In any bou
longer than ten rounds.

In Re Brown vs.. Harvard.

Brown has one Of the greatest elevens
IN its history. and on Saturday 1t Is to
blay Harvard. Browns behavior at New
Haven last Saturday makes II safe to
say that II is capable OF giving the Grim
son eleven that beat Princeton the game
Of its life and probably whip IT. iester-
day Harvard announced that Il would
use an eleven composed mainly of sub
Stitutes against Brown. and some folk
thereat took umbrage.
1t may look like an attempt to belitte
4 possible or even probable Brown vie
tory. Yet, facing the biggest game OF
tho year. 1t is Harvard's privilege to use
what players II chooses. even IL these be
Fourth stringers who had not played pre-
sviously. Brown knew when IT accepted
the game that it would most likely face
Substitutes. II met substitute Harvard
team last yea. nd played 1t scoreless
Tie.
Tbs very unfortunate that Brown
ohould be put In that predicament. II 1t
is beaten il desires to lose only to Har-
yards best. and II 1t wins II wants none
of the glory to be taken from II. There
.is only one course open to Brown for
next season. II can ask fer an earle
date and not getting that can leave Har.
wards schedule. Certainly Browns pres
.ent position on the Cambridge calendar
makes such action advisable.
