DUNDEE AND JACKSON EACH SURE
OF A VICTORY FRIDAY, so FUTURE
MATCHES ALREADY ARE CLINCHED
Neither Apparently Worried Over Probable Re-
suit Of Return Bout-Jumping John to Box
CLANCY Here-Willie to Meet Shannon
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

AIEITHER Willie Jackson nor Johnny
IN Dundee evidently is taking his bout on
Friday night in New York seriously, or
else each Is so confident OF victory that
more matter Of the probable result is not
holding a worry in his young life. This Is
apparent when it is considered that both
DOC" Bagley and Scotty Monteith are go
ing right ahead and booking future
matches. 1t also means that the boxers
will be in great shape and lot of hghting

of sessions.
Both Dundee and Jackson have been
| signed TO box again less than a week after
| their return mix. A repetition OF Bllls
| Philadelphia conquest, when the biggest
! upset of the season was jotted down in

rounder to referees decision
Edge to Jackson
Jackson must be given the edge on Dun

Dundees vision that no one could put
him to sleep has been cultivated. And It
was a second or third rater that put over

when he is opposed to the same man VINO

Bout Should Be Fast
The contest is bound to prove terrific
struggle. one is anxious TO disprove the
others claim that the result of their hrst
meeting was f1uke. Dundee will be out
to distribute a mauling that Willie viii be

squared circle to his grandchildren. It's
going to be a ferocious fracas, and the only
regret Philadelphia fans should have Is
that the melee was not clinched for local
arena. That's where New YORK enthusl-
asts are getting the break,
When Jackson knocked out Dundee-and
| also virtually put to sleep the entire tistic
universe-it was the first decisive deteat

looked upon as a million to one shot when

WhoOpee! Heap Much Injun
Many boxers have come out Of the West
TO seek fame and fortune in Americas me-
tropolis, but they had to go elsewhere to gel

would recognize them. This was exactly
the case experienced by Clay Turner, q
half-breed Sioux Indian from Minnesota

since, Turner has been knocking on op
