obtain discharges from the military
service OF baseball players needed

NEWARK, n. J. Jan. 21.-Benny
Leonard is still champion among the
lightweights, but his fame is steadily
growing less with his appearances in
the ring. There was a time when
Benny would show all he had, drop
ping his opponent il he could. His
elght-round bout with Johnny Dun

proved that Leonard isn't doing that
any more, either because he can't or
because he won't. He contented him.
self with outpointing the Scotch
Wop."
Dundee forced the fighting in the
hrst two Grounds. using his famous
jumping tactics. Leonard was slow
to warm up and used caution to the
extreme. Had Dundee possessed a
real punch. he might have won the
title in those early rounds, but his
blows lacked weight and Leonard
easily weathered them.
Tho fourth round was even. with
Dundee still rushing. but in the fifth
1t was all Leonard. At the bell
Leonard had his man on the ropes
and apparently was ready to shoot
over the sleep punch, but thought
better of it and quit.
For the latter half Of the bout
the champion was satisfied to box his
opponent, keeping the margin of
vantage to the end. At 3 o'clock
Leonard weighed in at 13413, and
Dundee at a fraction below 100
pounds.

A Round From Any Dundee Fight.

| Round From Any Dundee Ffsh,
Round whattsiz-Johnnyb bounced
off his chair as IL he had springs
in all his hip pockets and about
fifty hip pockets. He swung his
arms like a bear fighting humble
bees. His opponent didn't know
what it was all about, but decided
that Louisiana must have gone
Republican. Dundee then put his
head down to where his knees
would have been IL they hadn't
been where his head should have
been, and made more motions
with his gloves than a hivver
owner trying to put up a one
man top.
While his antagonist was try
ing to figure il all out with the
aid OF a net and an adding ma
chine. Johnny kept bouncing
around the ring as IL either his
feet were very tender or the floor
was very hot. He bounced so
high that he looked like a chan
delier in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum. His rival PACED a diction-
ary and looked for the answer to
the puzzle under the rs. Il
wasn't in the book.
Dundee ran a full marathon IN
one spot and just when he had
his man surrounded he popped
back against the ropes and
popped off again like a bon-bon
at a birthday party. He repeated
this eleven times, so il couldn't
have been an accident the first
time. Then Johnny jumped up
and down like one of those things
that eat cocoanuts in the Bronx
Zoo. He resembled a flea accept
Ing the jumping nomination. His
opponent was dizzier than a guy
getting a telegram collect
Dundee's mitts were waving
like a railroad semaphore signal
ing a clear track ahead two min
utes before the big wreck. He
got the ropes twisted around his
neck like a lavaliere and let him
self fly out like a kid shooting
wooden ducks with a slingshot.
He gazapped around the ring like
a grasshopper on rubber crutches.
His man was groggier than a
nearsighted Zambesian trying to
read Mongolian proclamation by
the light of a glucose diamond.
Dundee's arms and legs were
buster than a milkman's at a
pump. He galloped around his
opponent until the poor zapp
looked like a Maypole. Then
Johnny flatwheeled around the
works like a former Bronx watt
ress getting ten thousand smack
ers a week in vaudeville for toss
ing off a classic Greek dance. The
illusion would have been perfect
except that Johnny had his shoes
on.
