benny Leonard's crown, fought sem
sational ffteen-round draw in the fea-
ture event of last nights show at afadi-
son Square Garden. The fight card at
tracted one Of the very largest at
tendances Of the season.
Jackson, in the opinion Of the writer,
though he had more than six pounds
advantage in weight, was lucky to get
ss good as draw. Dundee for some
reason used his right hand very little
during the encounter. 1t was said he
had damaged his right thumb IN train
ing, but he certainly made the great
est use possible Of his left, and with
1t stopped every assault launched By
his heavier antagonist.
Dundee weighed only 128M pounds:
Jackson scaled at 134ts pounds at 2
o'clock in the afternoon. He made
good his agreement to come in under
135 pounds, the recognized lightweight
limit.
! jackson was wild in the opening
round, though he did put over num-
bcr of damaging short-arm jolts at
close quarters. He was Kissed by the
crowd for "heeling" on a couple of
occasions. Dundee, who was giving
away plenty of weight and seemed
cautious, consequently made a monkey
of Jackson at long range. He combed
him with snappy left, and several
! times crossed rights to the face and
/ jaw.
Il, Jackson had Dundee busy as bird
pup through the second He got in
some very damaging body blows at
close range in this round, as in the
third. The partisan crowd gave Jack
son the merry "razz" when he lifted
the Scotch Wop off his feet in the
clinches.
The fourth was a whirlwind of ac-
ton. First one and then the other
was on the verge of an early triumph.
Jackson had Dundee wobbly from
right cross to the jaw when he himself
bumped into a wild right haymaker. 1t
was hook and tongs the last minute of
the period.
They stood toe to toe through the
fifth an! fought like a pair of demons,
and here again honors were as even
as could be imagined for Dundee was

Jabs. Jackson squared accounts by
lusty bombardment of the midsection
at close quarters.

Dundee's straight lefts had .Jackson's

ninth round. Dundee continued through
the tenth round to do deadly execution

little or not at all.
Both were shooting all they had

toe to toe and exchanged lefts and

Dundee jabbed Jackson 70 death in
the fourteenth. He kept drum fire Of

son could do in the ray of resentment
WIS to use his weight in roughing.
The fifteenth and last round was one
continual poem of action in which the
pair slugged all over the ring, landing
heavy right-handers with the most
reckless abandon. The decision of a
drawn issue was we'll received by the
crowd
Norfolk Scores Over Jamaica Kid
Kid Norfolk and Jamaica Kid, among
the most prominent of the colored
heavyweights, met in the eight-round
semi-final. Norfolk, recognized negro
heavyweight champion, weighed 177%
pounds to the Jamaica Kids 174. The
boys. forgot brotherly love and kin and
all that sort of thing, and fought from
the drop of the hat.
In the first round NT"~folk put the
Jamaica Kid down for count of five
with right hook to the jaw. The
honors were about even in the second,
each dusky gladiator scoring several
solid right smashes to the 'mush.'
Norfolk had Jamaica as busy as The
proverbial one-armed paperhanger all
through the third, and at close sange
hammered home many q disconcerting
sock. Through the fourth, too, Nor
folk held sway, and in close suarters
pounded Jamaica to a fraZzle. Ja-
maica's snakelike left jab, however,
drew blood from Norfolks nose and
mouth.
1t was much the same old story
through the fifth and sixth. Norfolk
was boring in close every minute, and
landed by far the more telling punches.
The Jamaica Kid in the seventh round
uncorked several damaging back-hand
punches. The eighth also was Nor
folks, and he was very justly given the
decision.
London Easily Defeats Spencer
Harry London, of Harlem, weighing
116H pounds, put it all over Willie
Spencer, l15ls pounds, in the opening
bout of eight rounds. Billy Glover,
oldtime welterweight and now boxing
instructor at West Point, was referee,
London had five of the eight rounds
clearly. Spencer could not get away
from left jab, and in the in-fighting
was very much at sea-
