ARMY HAS DEVELOPED
HOST OF GOOD BOXERS
A. E. F. Champions Will Seek
World Titles in Coming
Interallied Games.

PARIS, May 81 Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-Ever since
last January scarcely a week has
passed in which one or more fight tour
naments have not been staged where
ever the American khaki clad soldiers
have been stationed. The "doughboy,"
if he cannot be in a good scrap him
self, loves nothing better than watch
ing clever boxing bout. Thousands
of officers and enlisted men go to see
these mills and cheer the participants
vociferously.
The boxers who have fought their
way to the top in A. E. F. ring con-
tests soon will have greater fstic
fame within their reach. These glove
battlers will be given chance to win
world honors during the coming inter-
allied games at Pershing Stadium.
They will meet the best boxers of the
other allied armies in what promises
to be the greatest carnival of pugil-
ism in the history of the sport.
The top-notch boxers of the Ameri-
can Army, including six of the seven
A. E. +. fistic champions. are working
hard for the interallied games. They
are training daily in a special gym
nasium in Paris. Several of them
had practically no ring experience
before they went into the Army. A
winter and spring season of boxing
has developed them into high class
ring generals and fine specimens of
clean, game, hard-hitting young
Americans, who like sport for it's own
sake.
OF the seven champions, only one,
Jackie" Clark. who holds the middle
weight title. has gone back to the
states. The other six will remain for
the interallied meet. Here Is the list !.
Heavyweight-"Bob" Martin, Akron,
Ohio.
Light heavyweight-"Gen Tunney,
New York city.
terweight-"BiIly' Kleck, New
Orleans.
Lightweight-Leo Patterson, Joplin.
Mo-. (negro).
Featherweight- - Johnny" Fundy.
Pittsburgh.
amweight-"Babe" Asher, De-
troit.

BENNY LEONARD BEATS
DUNDEE IN FAST BOUT

PHILADELPHIA. June 17.-Benny
Leonard again proved at the Phillies'
park last night that he Is still the
fpremier lightweight boxer of the
world. He met Johnny Dundee at
t135 pounds. and outboxed and out
fought the plucky little Italian in
flour of the six rounds. At times
heonard's voctory was made possible
by Dundee's aggressiveness. For that
treason the loser il not without honor.
]. He made the thrilling eighteen min
ute session possible because he forced
! the battle in each round and tried to
igive as good as he received. He fall
ed because many of his blows were
cleverly blocked, some missed their
!. intended mark. while others lacked
force, being landed while Dundee had
his feet of the floor.
1t was a fast bout and one In which
Dundee. although beaten. need feel no
zchagrin. for he gave as good as he
had in shop and took all that Leonard
handed out.

that Johnson will do the hurting. The
reason is that George Dauss probably
