quently last night CLANCY went out 70
leop Dundee II he could. CLANCY found
Dundee ready for him and tho bout
was speedcd up from the very start
Dundee as USUAL, showed himself tu
be much faster than his opponent
but his punches did not carry the
same steam as did those of the Balti-
more boy.
Dundee landed oftener In the first
three rounds than did CLANCY. When
Chaney did land he usually sent Dun
dee reeling back 10 the ropes. But
Johnny always bounded off. and In the
rapid changes seemed to have the bet
ter ot IL. In the fourth round Chaney
bored In very hard. He landed his
famuss left to the face and the punch
staggered Dundee and the crowd
cheewe1. CLANCY tried TO endeayor to
follow up his advantage, and while he
landed to the body Dundee kept on
lighting. In the fifth round chaney
again landed his left to the head. but
Dundee refused TO topple. CLANCY
then landed = left to the body and
Dundee was forced to clinch and hold.
Then Dundee came back and raped
CLANCY with left and right 10 the
face.
In the sixth round CLANCY continued
TO chase after Dundee and landed wal
iops that compelled the italian cham
pion to elinch and hold. Then Johnny
broke forth with lot of rapid jaba TO
the face, only to receive a stiff left to
the head. Clancy forced Dundee to
the ropes and landed his left again.
Dundee looked tired and his return
punches seemed to have little effect
npon Clancy.
In the seventh round CLANCY SEEM
ed willing TO take the punch in order
to land one. He bored in 1ereely and
forced Dundee to the ropes and land
ed rights ant lefts. Dundee tried to
make use OF the ring and did cause
Clancy to miss a couple of swings.
but Chanes. finally forced him to the
ropes with body punches. Chaney
landed two hard lefts and Dundee
went into clinch. Dundee kept up
his lighting, landing rights and lefts to
the head anc face, but he could not
keep CLANCY away from him.
Dundee was off first in the eighth
round, but clinched, then breaking
away he showered blows to Chaney's
bead. Chaney never faltered, but
waded in and soaking rights and lefts
to the body caused Dundee to hold
again. Dundee then took the Of
fensive with his famous in-and-out
tactics. He sneared his opponent
with all kinds of punches, but Clancy
was always on him and the round

WILMINGTON MAY HAVE
AN AUTO SPEEDWAY
Possibility of This City Having
Nationally Known Track !.
for Speed Demons.

There is q strong possibility that
this city viii have a nationally known
automobile speedway in the near fu-
ture, according TO the plans of auto
mobile racing lovers of this city. For
some time such plans have been dis
cussed for the leasing Of a site OF
ground near this city, on which mile
banked track would be built.
The plans as tentatively adopted
provide for a race track on which the
fastest drivers would be able 10 get
the maximum speed out of their ma :
chimes. The only straight-away Sec
tor would be for several hundred
yards on the home stretch. This ar
rangenent viii permit the fastest
speed to be obtained from the racing
machines.
One of the plans suggested is that
two meets he held during the year
with leading entries from all over the
wcrld. This city is so located that
thousands of automobile racing lovers
would be able to reach here without
much difficulty. The promoters Of the
project have in mind a plan to make
this city as well known as an automo-
bile racing center as indianapolis,
where the classics are held each year
on the famous Speedway at that
place.
A banked track relieves considera bic
of the danger present on a dirt track,
which Is not banked. The plans that
the track be one mile one is also
of much Importance. for although the
indianapolis track is two and one-half
miles, the maximum speed can be
secured on the mile speedway.
The promoters of the project are
waiting to see how the proposition is
received by the people of this part OF
the country, before actual steps are
taken for securing the track site.
