the various kinds OF abuse innocently
inflicted upon motor tires, preventing

however, hat forty-mile runs on

championships ut Lake OF the Isles
in February, 1916. At that time he
shattered the worlds record made by

LEONARD is READY
TO BATTLE DUNDEE
Lightweight Champion and Con.
tender to Meet in BROOKLYN.

Brooklyn, Aug. 1S.-The next piece
de resistance in boxing is likely to
be a bout between Benny Leonard
and Johnny Dunde. The lightweight
champion Is seriusly considering an
offer TO engage the Scotch wop"
in a ten-round bout at Ebbets Field
late this month or early in Sep
tember. 1t is expected that he will
sign articles for this bout within
couple Of days.
Several promoters have been dick
ering for this match. 1t Is regarded
as quite a pugihstic plum, for it will
be recalled that the first time Dundee
and Leonard boxed. Dundee earned
the popular. decision on points In
that engagement he outboxed Leon
ard. In a subsequent meeting Leon
ard retaliated in kind. but many of
Dundee's followers. and he has quite
few. are OF the opinion that the
West Side lightweight stands a good
chance to defeat Leonard.
Promoters appear to regard 1t as a
natural match, and they have been
bidding for it ever since Leonard
stopped Johnny Kilbane in three
rounds at Philadelphia. Dundee was
generally conceded to be the next in
line for n chance at the champion
In spite Of the fact that Willie Jack
son knocked him out and lowered
his stock considerably in a bout held
at Philadelphia some months ago.
Dundee asserts that he has prac-
tically accepted terms for the bout
at Ebbets Field and is certain that
Leonard will be induced to meet him
in the ring there. Just what Leon
ard has been offered for his share is
not known.
