BY l.. I. JOHNSON,

Mike Dundee.s bout with Mort
Henderson at ottawa Tuesday
night proved TO be a drawback for
him last night with Roy Moore at
the Illinois theatre and he lost.
Mike did not have the pep and
power that he displayed with Pal
Moore at the last show of the All
Star Athletic club. Moore proved
himself 10 be one great little boxer,
taking eight of the ten rounds.
No doubt Dundee's great fault is
that he does not work for the body.
His target is the head Moore de-
ponds upon tn body throughout
knowing that each knock means a
little more toward firing his OPP
ponent When Dundee stops the
head work and opens up on the
body he Will have the topnotch
bantams within his power
The first two rounds were about
even. Both boys started in fast.
Roy opened fire with rapid one
two-threa body blows Dundee re
turned them. In the third Moore
gained q shad and held that honor
through the Faiance of the bout
Moore gave Dundee one of the
hardest battles that the Rock Is
land hoy has ever had He landed
blows that would make the ordi-
nary boxer quit Moore fought his
one hundred and seventeen bout
last night and evidently is improv-
ing AZ each mill. Mike Dundee.
according 10 Mike McNulty. Moore's
manager, docs not get Il credit he
deserves McNuItv claims that Dun
dee is one Of the hest little pugs
that Moore has ever fought. He
said, 4 am glad that Dundee
fought with HenG erson the other
ght at Ottawa because it gave
lfoore a better chance"
NoOre's winning over Dundee
wll not hurt the Rock Island boy.
Ir only means that he has added a
little more experience to his list
Dundee met a tough boy in Moore
and knew it before he stepped into
the ring. Dundee and Moore put
up one of the best bouts that tri-
city fans have lad a chance to see
for many moon Several at the
show claimed that Dundee held
Moore To a draw Dundee did put
up a great battle bUt the points go
TO Moore With the strength and
power that the little Rock Island
wop has he should make a success
in the ring game but he has to
learn that the body is not around
the chin and collar bone.
Knockout German and Mitchell
put up a good eight-round bout. Al
though the bout waxed warm at
times and several doubtful blows
were landed it proved TO be one of
the best on the card. German is
clever and shows ability in getting
around his man but somehow or
other doesn't land the farewell
blow. The bout last night was
NIitchelI's second professional go
and the way he handled himself
proved that he is a conner His
brother Richie will soon have to
step in order TO keep up with
Pinkey. The bout was about even
throughout Both boys landed
provisioning blows. Each round
was fast
Fans had one of the best pre-
linn six-rounders exhibited TO them

shown in Rock Island for many
day. frankie Jumatti proved TO be
clever little boy His work. al
though unpolis d. showed that he
has a heap of ability behind his
little ZIG pound body Jumatti's
youth and cleverness won for him
the bout over Knockout krause of
Milwaukee krause evidently has
seen his day, although he made
frankie step 10 gain a decision.
Rock Island fans witnessed one
OF the hest cards that has been
shown in the tri-cities for several
months Each bout was full of pep
and fast. None of the boys are
amateurs but are real hard hit
