Rock Island fight fans were
treated to As fancy match as they
have seen in many moons last night
when Mike Dundee. local boy who
Is protege Of Emil Thirty. fought
Jack Wolfe of Cleveland to draw.
Thiry's claim that Mike has devel-
oped a punch seemed to be borne
out by the fact that many Of Mikes
blows landed clean and hard. On
the other hand, despite the fact that
the crowd could only see the local
boy in every clash, Wolfe, a vet
eran, showed his ability to jar Mike
frequently, but he showes one fault,
undoubtedly to be encountered IN
all first class bouts Of boxing and
ducking, and that was his willing
ness to use his left elbow. This in
ring generalship is clearly sharp
practice" and not to Wolfe's credit.
In the first two rounds Dundee
won a clean shade but the third
and fourth seemed to be almost
even, with possible shade in
Mixes favor, the veteran Wolfe ap-
parently beginning to solve his OPP
ponent's tactics. The fifth round
was all Mikes as he started fast
and showed Wolfe what he could
do If he wanted to. but again Jack s
cleyerness showed in making Mike
miss what would have almost GER
tainly been lawmakers at least
twice
In the sixth Wolfe came back
good and Mike did not seem to be
able to start roughing as he had in
the fifth. AS a matter of fact Wolfe
himself started some fast rough
stuff that made Mike step lively
The seventh showed Wolfe still
continuing the work of landing his
left to Mikes body and neck rather
frequently. earning a slight shade
thereby. The eighth found Wolfe
boxing and roughing Dundee to a
clea1 shade. In fact the writer was
of the opinion that Mikes over Gag.
