BY CHARLES II. MATHIsoN.


Charley White of Chicago last night
at the Boxing Drome strengthened his
claim to another bout with Benny Leon
ard for the lightweight title by trounc-
ing Johnny Dundee in a lively ten round
bout Despite the fact that White won
decisively in almost every round OF the
ten, the judges declared the contest a
draw. Spectators were amazed by the
decision and hooted the ruling. The
judges were Tommy Shorteil and George
ii. Schwegler.
White had the advantage In weight
by six pounds, scaling 1875 TO 100 by
Dundee. The latter made a game fight.
but barring the first round was out
fought outboxed and outpunched. 1t
was charged at the ringside that the
heavy betting on Dundee precluded any
decision except a draw. unless White
scored q knockout.
Dundee gave White boxing lesson
in the first round reaching the Chi
cagoans face repeatedly with snappy
lefts. Whites left hook was futile, and
he devoted most of his time to hold
ing Dundee's glove under his arm.
White landed a number OF solid left
hooks to the face In the seconL round
and slowed the Italian.
The third round was tame, with little
action White brought the blood from
Dundee's mouth In the fourth round
with a series Of heavy lefts to the face.
Dundee Takes n Lacins.
White gave Dundee severe trouncing
In the fifth round, cutting tho Italians
right ear and drubbing him to a stand
still. White knocked Dundee off balance
in the sixth round, but the stumpy
Italian kept on his feet.
Dundee took hard drubbing In the
seventh, getting numerous hard left
handlers to body and face. Dundee was
full of fight in the eighth round, but
received several staggering blows.
Dundee staggered White with left
TO the face In the ninth round, but the
Chicagoan repaid him with interest. The
last round was devoid of exciting incl
dents.
Paul Doyle received the award OF the
judges over Marty Crosa N the opening
tage was slight. Tho v2s considerable
heavy butting, b,t i.-ue damage was
inflicted.
Bun Defeats Aedoux.
Johnny Buff. American flyweight
champion, received the award OF the
judges over Charley Ledoux, bantam
champion OF Europe, In ten furious
rounds. The Frenchman made his Gus
tomary game battle, and gave Buff a
hard tussle. Buff weighed il3 and Le-
doux 1T pounds.
Buff and Ledoux started out fighting
like q pair OF gamecocks, and the
spectators were In an uproar as the
~, ~
danced about the ring. Buff had no
trouble reaching tie trenchman on the
jaw with rights ana its. Buff brought
Ledoux to his knees in the fourth with
a right uppercut to the chin, but the
Frenchman did not take the count. Le-
doux put Buff on the floor in the fifth,
but not for the count. Both were tired
at the close of the round.
Buff piled Ledoux with uppercuts in
the sixth and the Frenchman was in
helpless condition at the bell. Ledoux
had a mouse under his left eye. Both
were SO tired in the seventh they were
content to rest. Ledoux fought Buff to
a standstill in the ninth, and the Jersey
man acted as though he wanted to quit
but he changed his mind and they pum-
melled each other furiously In the last
round.
Joe Humphries, with the generosity
characteristic of him, conferred the title
Of worlds hyweight champion" on
Johnny Buff. Orator Joe did this de-
spite the fact that Jimmy Wilde. who
holds the title. is still alive and ready
to defend his honors.
Young Montreal. who has to his credit
two Boston deeisions over Pete Herman,
received surprise In the shape of two
knockdowns in the first round of q
bout with Midget Smith. Right handers
to the side of the head were the blows.
Montreal hurt his right ankle in falling
and limped during the remainder Of the
bout. yet Smith was unable TO stop his
man or do any special damage to him
in the nine rounds that followed.
