DUNDEE VS.. JACKSON
New Haven Club Arranges a Star
Cf,rd-Other Cities Tolerate Fourth
Glass Performers in Feature Event,

Johnny Dundee and Willie jackson,
TWO of the foremost lightweights IN
the world have been matched to box
q 15-round decision bout before the
Italian Riverside A. G., of New
Haven, on the night Of March 25.
This bout has been billed as a light
weight elimination contest, the win
ner to meet Benny Leonard, cham
pion, at his earliest convenience. The
scrap will be fought in the largest
boxing auditorium in the country
the Arena, which has a seating ca
pacity Of ten thousand
New England experts regard this
bout as the most attractive one
staged in this territory since the ia
NOUS Terry McGovern-Young Cor
bett battle at Hartford, this state,
nearly 8 years ago. The merits Of
Dundee and Jackson are well known
to every fan in the country, especially
II the East, where they are great IA
vorites. Dundee's last appearance
here was against the veteran English
1oxer Matt Wells whom he easily de-
feated on points.
Dundee is responsible for Jackson's
entry into the select circle of boxers.
1t was just a year ago this month
when Jackson, practically an I'M
known at the time, shook the boxing
world by putting Dundee down for
the fatal ten seconds in a Philadel-
phia bout. The bout was scheduled
to go six rounds, but jackson, gifted
with hefty punch, accomplished his
purpose in a single round. The punch
not only made Jackson famous. but
placed him in a position to demand
some Of the big money now being
dragged down by the leading stars.
Dundee and Jackson got together
some months afterwards and the for
mer was honored with the popular
decision on points. Dundee has since
| been trying to get Jackson into the
ling over the longer route, with the
result that the local match was con-
Summated.

taken from him much of the steam

that in facing Kilrain he was taking

knuckle warriors and he appreciated
that he had to be in superb condi-

The illness through which John L.
had passed late in the summer Of
1888 had taken off considerable
weight and had weakened him con-
siderably. John L. knew that he was
far from the superb condition of the
other days; that drastic means were
necessary to whip himself into fight
ing trim.
So he employed Billy Muldoor,
famous as a wrestler and a condi-
toner of men in that era. And Null

ing routine that was the Severest that
John l.. ever had known
They made John L. work as he
never had worked before. They sent
him on long road jaunts, forced him
through many hours of gymnasium
work and put him on a diet which
eliminated all the fine rich foods
which John L. had INDUCED in pre-
viously And MuldoOn made it one
of his strictest orders that liquor was
to be barred from Sullivan's camp.
Under this treatment John J.. slow

all the unnecessary fat and brought
back again finely conditioned body

under Muldoon, was transformed
from something close to a physical
wreck to a point of athletic ability

gone down to defeat.
But in Kilrain the famous sports
man felt that he was to realize his
am bition for the dethroning Of Suli-
van. And certainly there was real
basis for Fox's confidence. Kilraln,
as huge and as powerful physical
specimen as John l., had compiled a
great record through 1886, 1887 and
1883 and stood out as the most for
nidable Sullivan foe of that era
The original plan to stage the big
bout somewhere in Mississippi on
july s, 1889" was carried out. But
with difficulty. Governor Lowry of
that state used every means in his
power to halt the fight. He classified
bare knuckle fighting with strict Lon
don Prize Ring rules governing as "a
most brutal form Of sport And he
turned the state forces loose in an eff
fort to stop the staging Of the con-
test. But to no avail.
However, the opposition by the au-
thorities Of that state and the con-
slant 'hounding' by officials of other
states of the bare knuckle fighters,
caused John L. to make this re-
solve:
"yVin or lose, my battle with Kill
rain will be my last as a bare knuckie

or not at all. I'm tired Of being
trailed by the police; tired of running

And so the Sullivan-Kilrain fight.
in addition to taking rank as the
most memorable bare knucllle contest
on American soil, was destined to be
the last real fight under London
Prize Ring rules which, since that
day have become obsolete.

Paris, June 9.-The Germans at dawn todap opened new terrific of- fensive, choosing the southern line of their Picardy wedge, from Noyon to Montdidier, some 25 miles in extent, as their attacking front A violent ar- tillery bombardment, which began at midnight, ushered in the new drive, which may have either Amiens or Paris, or both, as its. objective.
 This time the Teutons did not have walk-over, however. Even the pre- liminary bombardment was met by terrific counter-shelling from the French heavy guns and when the in- fantry attack began at 4:30 o'clock the Germans found the French fully prepared and resisting with tenacity which the Paris day communique de- scribed as magnificent"
 At this cabling a savage battle rages along the whole 25-mile front.
 Again the Germans are following their latest method of attack pursued in the Picardy, Flanders and Cham pagne drives, namely, that of launch ing their infantry assaults after a short preliminary fire, drenching the allied front for four hours with high explosives and mustard" and ''yper- ite" gas shells.
 This concentrated shelling was fol- lowed by the advance of the infantry in massed formation, as usual.
 The attack was not a surprise. Everywhere the defenders opposed it with the stoutest resistance, the French fighting with the greatest fury, realizing that German gain in this direction would mean a turning point of the French positions south of Soissons so far as the region before the Villers- Cotteretts wood.

OBJECT OF BETTER
 BABIES CONTEST

The Better Babies Contest is a popular, yet scientific movement to insure better babies and better race, Physics, physical and mental develop ment only are considered; mere beauty does not count.
 The Better Babies Contest insures better race of Americans, because it teaches parents how to improve the physical condition of children already born and to protect those yet unborn. It arouses interest in the conserva- tion of child life and health. It pro- notes civic interest in children of the community. Finally, by means of a uniform scoye card, it will supply to the medical profession what has long been wanting-scientifc data concern ing the normal child. The Better Babies contest will be conducted along educational rather than competitive lines. It will be conducted by compe- tent physicians who will give their services free. Small defects are thus uncovered and the children are given better start in life because of the knowledge gained by the parents.
 Contest to be held at the court house Friday and Saturday, June IA and 15. Every child between the ages of six months and five years, in the county, should be entered. All ex- animation done privately. If you wish to enter your child phone one of the following committee; Mrs. Sam Lo- gan, Mrs. H. F.. Rouse, Miss Sadie Griswold. Your baby will then be en- rolled and date and hour assigned

ON FIRE FOR HIGHWAYS.


That is the ticket. There has been
too much apathy. The Wilmington
Star says that the good roads con-
vention last week was "a splendid
success" and that "it can be truly said
that the general result of the conven-
tion has been that North Carolina will
be set on fire with enthusiasm for
good roads" The Star says further:
"The convention took some exceed
ingly important action bearing upon
North Cardinals future attitude to
highway progress. If the resolution
recommending a Statewide tax for
good roads is favorably acted upon by
the next Legislature, good roads will
become specifically State function in
addition to a county policy. All trunk
and lateral highway propositions got
hearty encouragement from the con-
vention and it took practical steps TO-
wards getting the Charlotte to Will
mington concrete military highway
and other intra-State and trunk lines
put upon basis for vigorous prose-
cution."
Robson county did not send very
large delegation to the convention
but wehope those who did attend from
the county were heated by that same
fire of enthusiasm and came home
resolved to spread the fire among
home folks.
