dangerous Contender
,.orord's trail as dangerous contender
~ ths title as Johnny Kilbane or any one
ra,r times have Dundee and Leonard
tvad and results of their various contests
ssys proved them to be equally matched
a. FAR as limited bouts are concerned. All
vsrs no-declsion matches, but the popular
verdict in two bouts favored Leonard; one
vent to Dundee by a very wide margin,
.nd their last meeting, which was staged
m. Philadelphia last season, ended with
neither having the better of six sizzling
sensational sessions.
Leonard and Dundee are boxers of two
dlfferent and entirely distinct types. While
Leonard is remarkable boxer with a
punch, which he has proved to be Of sleep

fellow on the jump almost continually !:
thus the opposition seldom can get set to
drive home a telling punch.

Both Leonard and Dundee are quick
thinking boxers, hence their apparent nerv-
BUSINESS when in action. Benny boxes in
q buslnesslike way; he shows the specta-

punch and when II appears the wallop
would go astray Benny can he seen shaking
his head, pull back the blow and begin
feinting for another opening.
Dundee, on the other hand, varies his at
tack At one stage of the battle lie will
give good imitation of boxer who doesn't
possess any science; he keeps tearing in,
with lowered head, and punches away with
both hands. Then when the other fellow
becomes dangerous no faster, shiftier, more
scientific boxer ever hops around in the
twentyfour-foot battlefield than the same
little Dundee. His airplane iab has been
