Training.

Roy Moore showed yesterday
that he is one of the toughest boys
n the lantamweight division to beat
when he worked SIX rounds with
Johnny Donahue at the Empire
rink.
Moore gave Donahue one of the
hardest little workouts that the
Rock Island boxer has had for
some time. Moore works fast and
makes every blow count. He will
give Mike Dundee the fastest and
hardest battle that the local pug
ever received in his short career at
the Illinois Thursday night. How
ever. Mike has every chance in the
world OF taking the bout Dundee
demonstrated that he could meet
and defeat topnotchers when he
fought ten rounds with Pal Moore
at the February show OF the All
Star Athletic club.
Dundee has a chance 10 make
himself in the boxing world Thurs
day night. He either is made or he
isn't made. By defeating Moore he
can record the hardest bout he ever
won in his little boxing dairy, but
beating the northern pug
he will have a hot time OF il in
Tri-city fans apparently are all
for Mike although many are eX-
pecting the St. Paul bantam to take
the bout. Dundee has not as yet
won the confidence OF all the fans
but if he wins the Thursday bout he
can count himself made in tri-city
circles and Peanuts" Schieberl

If some of the unheard of "shOw
actors" could secure Mike McNulty,
the manager of Roy Moore, for a
press agent their names would be
on every mans lips. Mike is a wiz
ard and has more lingo on his

that has made his presence known
in the tri-cities for sometime. Mike
has the gift of CAB. He proved
this when he secured the match
with Mike Dundee for Roy Moore,

confident that he would appear here
that he failed to send back the
signed articles showing that he
would be on the job. AS result
