DlINDEE is A VETERAN
OVER 2O-ROUND ROUTE

When Johnny Dundee, the New York
italian lightweight, enters the ring
against Benny Leonard, world cham
Mon for a twenty-round bout at New
Haven, Conn, January 16, the italian
noxer will be competing in his elev-
anth contest over this distance. In his
career. which extends over period OF
nine years, Dundee has boxed some OF
the leading lightweights of the coun-
try over the championship distance,
including Joe Azevedo. Joe Mandot,
Stanley Yoakum, Grover Hayes, Jack
White. Frank Conley. Joe Rivers, Jim
my Hanlon, Johnny Kilbane and Will
lie Beecher. His bout with kllbane
was held when Dundee was. competing
as a featherweight.
This experience in long-distance
bouts is expected to serve Dundee well
in his coming meeting with'Leonard.
The latter has never boxed more than
twelve rounds, and. therefore, is un-
accustomed in the matter of gauging
his speed. Leonards longest bouts
have been against Ever Hammer and
Harvey Thorpe, both matches ending
in Leonard's favor in twelve rounds.

Robert White, golf professional at

Chase has not been named.
White has been the golf pro1es-

CESS left the club last spring, and dur
ing his term at the club has been
highly regarded by members as
teacher and greens keeper OF the
highest order. Never noted as a play
er, White has specialized IN green
keeping and course construction, ana
it may be said he is regarded as one
of the leading authorities in the
United States in these two golf de-

To Confer Regarding Stymie.
There appears to be a well defined
move on foot to abolish the stymie in
competitive golf in the United States.
and this movement, as already an
nounced, has gone so far that the United
States Golf Association will send a COM
mittee to Great Britain next spring to
confer with officials of the Royal and An
cient at st. Andrews concerning aboH-
ton of the stymie. 1t cannot be said that
there is great unanimity of opinion
regarding the abolition of the Stymie
even in the United States. and what
sort of reception the United States
Golf Association committee viii meet
on the other side may be imagined.
The Western Golf Association did not
use the stymie in it's 1917 champion
ship, but it's lead has not been fol-
lowed by the United States Golf AS
sociation. Probably the committee
will be met with a hearty reception
and a polite request to make its plea
some other time, when the Royal and
Ancient has had time to recover from
the effects of the war.
