A boy who two years ago fought
for 80 and two weeks ago received
S400 for his end of bout is now fac.
tor in lightweight circles and his dc.
mands will run well into four figures
for future ring engagements.
1t took Willie Jackson less than
three minutes to hurdle into fame.
Unknown, picked as setup for John.
NY Dundee, this frail-Iooking youth in
less than one round accomplished
what no ether lightweight has been
able to DOWN over the sturdy Ital-
ian by knockout.
Not since Young Corbett came out
of the west and sent Terry McGovern
to the canvas for tho count has there
been such sensation in ring circles
as that produced by the one.round vic,
tory Of the New York Hebrew.
And for those who would discount
the victory by the lucky punch theory
there is tins to remember:
For several years Johnny Dundee
has been fighting the best of the feath
crweights and lightweights, and in that
time has assimilated numerous health!

successful, I'm too small"
jackson is tall and rangy and fights
at 12S pounds without trouble.
His boxing career started little
over two years ago when he appeared
at the Paramount A. c., New York, and
asked to be put on for a preliminary.
AT that time preliminary fighters were
rot paid, but were permitted to sell
tickets TO their friends and keep half.
That's how Jackson made 50 in his
first bout.
His early performances were not
particularly successful. He was beat.
en- by frankie Burns, but weighed lie
pounds to Burns 100. Later Johnny
Kilbane knocked him out.
In this Jackson's career somewhat
resembles Young Corbett's. Corbett
had been Knocked out by Benny Yam
ger and third rater named Dempsey
before he stopped McGovern.
Jackson right now is after Fred
Welsh and Fred's title. but is not ack.
ing for match with Kilbane.
"Kilbane is the greatest fighter in
the world" he confided. 81 would
rather fight Welsh at 140 pounds than
Kilbane at $780,"

punches on his Jaw. The general re.
suit was that Dundee came back and
fought all the harder.
He snapped punches with sucn
husky wallpapers as Willie Richie and
Charley White and Johnny Eilbanc
and did not suffer.
Considering that, jackson must have
something, Dundee, himeslf, admits
that.
Dundee held no title. But lie was
the best man in the country at 1S9
pounds, anu was so dangerous that
Freddie Welsh would never consent
TO meet him over long route.
For that reason jackson must be
given serious consideration, until he
proves that he was a flash in the pan.
Who is this Jackson anyway? Well,
his everyday name is Oscar Tobler. of
Jewish parentage, and he is not yet
20 years old. He is a public school
graduate and used to be a basketball
player and an amateur baseball pitch.
