Last nights battle was the first glove
test to a decision that had been held
IN New York State since 1900-twenty
years ago.
Big Crowd ON Hand
One of the greatest multitudes that
ever witnessed q glove bout indoors
was damned into Madison Square Gar
den to welcome back the ancient and
honorable game Of fisticuffs as in
dorsed by law and order. not to men

HUMPHREYS virtually every seat in the
hugs amphitheatre had already been
taken and 10000 persons outside the
sdifiee were lined up in the hope a.
being able to buy their way inside,
The crowd within and without was
admirably handled. The city police
maintained good order outside. Spe-
eiai police and large staff of ushers
tried their utmost to provide every
body inside with the seat for which

taxed patience to the limit, for the
crowd was coming fast from the time
she doors first opened.
Under the skillful management of
Tex Richard, bell-cow impresario of
fste promoters, the old Garden surely
looked her gayest on the occasion of
boxing's gala reopening under law. 1t
was as big crowd as that which saw

was less open-work scenery among the
male element, but there was more I'M

whole editice had the refreshingly new
paint smell, the interior dressings and
festoonings relieving 10 the eye what

Dundee Is Outweighed
Dundee, as usual, was outweighed
many pounds. He scaled at 1917 and
yelling at 1861.

wonderful execution with a snappy left

Through the third round yelling
continued to take advantage of his
superior reach, and jabbed Johnny's
face into a rosy hue. Finding he
could no. avoid this left on a stand-up-
and-take-it basis, Dundee shifted and
