BY RICK JOHNSON.

Action was the big word in the bat
tie between Mike Dundee and Johnny
Richie last night at the Owls hall.
Mike won a clear title to every
round and started the Chicago boys
eyes closing at the first. He landed
blows that were fast and furious. Dun
dee easily showed his real self IN
every round and from last night on
will be slated as coming bantam
after the championship title. Dundee
in each round. up to the ninth. had the
Windy City boy outclassed. He land
ed blow after blow about head and
body. His rapid fire work was some
of the best that tri-city fans have had
a chance to see for sometime. In the
ninth round Mike had the Chicago boy
watching stars and wondering where
the next blow was going to land
Mike could have made Richie take the
count had he followed up his speedy
work.
In the tenth Richie came back with
a little more pep but Mike took it all
out of him. The fight was a fast bat
tie from the sounding of the first
gong Both boys started in hot and
heavy and the Chicago boxer deserves
credit for standing up against Dun
dees onslaught. He was in the mix
all of the tine and whenever Mike
started Johnny was right after him
but did not show the knowledge of the
game that Mike has learned in short
time.
Stevens Substitutes.
Al the last moment Johnny Hoffman
Of Milwaukee wired in that he had
not received his transportation and
would not be able to appear. Young
Stevens Of La Sale fought Lee Nc
Nahnr in his place and had his nose
in the way of Whirlwind McMa-
hons fist in each round Stevens out
weighed Mcmahon and Emil Thirty an
nnUncod that Mcmahon would only
box d four round exhibition on ac-
CONT Of the La Sale fighters over
weight.
McMahOn's work was one Of the
main features of the evening. His Ii
tie rs a second Packey Mcfarland can
he kept. He showed action that was
the marvel of the evening. He walked
around stevens so fast that the La
Sale brAer was dizzy. Stevens seemed
10 have his nose in the way Of Nc
Mahon's left at every moment al
though he landed a few of his own
Mcmahon handled his left like vet
eran and shot straight jabs to body
and head that made Stevens realize
that he was walking up against a
man who knew the game Mcmahon
had clear shade in every round.
The comedy of the evening was the
six round prelim put on by Kid Fisk
of this city and Terry Martin of La
Sale. Terry excelled in dodgine
Fisk's blows. Whenever Fisk would
swing. Terry, somehow or other, got
out of the way and had clever way
of doing it. Fisk made swings that
would have laid the La Sale boy cold
had they landed. In other words the
two boxers entertained with hard
slams. misses and lodging much tc
the merriment of the audience.
