HITS HARDEST AT 1ae
Jaeksoa's Accomplishments,
Detailed by His Manager,
Are Remarkable.
By CHARLES r. MATHrsoS.

Johnny Dundee Is not only the most
versatile boxer In the country when
1t comes to making weight, but he IA
strong and vigorous no matter whether
boxing featherweisht at 12s pounds,
a Junior lightweight at 1so pounds or
weighed 124k pounds the night he
defeated Frush for the featherweight
title, and he never showed more
strength, greater speed or more force
full hitting.
When Dundee wen the junior light
weight title he scaled l2s pounds. and
he has gone into the ring against the
most formidable members OF the light
weight class and weighed net more
than l3o pounds. In these battles with
hard hitting lightweights Dundee has
conceded from eight to ten pounds.
It follows that the little fellow would
be foolish to rush in and fight toe 20
toe With liehtweights who are In the
front rank of the division. and he has
devoted himself to a mixture of clever
defensive work and sharp Shooting from
every angle
Frush In own Class.
When the italian was machsd with
Frush he met man in his ewn class,
ard for the first time in many months
he cut loose with his heaviest punches
10 the undoing of the Liverpool youth
It was the first time in many months
that Dundee had attempted to hit with
all his force and the first knockout he
had accomplished in a long time. In
explaining his methods In the ring Iuna
dee says that any time he stands flat
footed and swaps punches with an OPP
pohent he cen hit as hard as any fighter
of his weight. The italian continues !:
when jump around and off the ropes
1t Is only natural that I can't set my
self for a punch. But don't let any one
tell you that there is no power behind
those left hooks and right handlers that
I land when / am on the jump. JUST
ask Tender and Leonard and some of
the other fellows I have fought and
they will tell you that my punches hurt"
Gays Durdee. Il guess Willie Jackson
would be a good man to ask about my
hitting. Every time / have fought with
him he has to lay off for a couple of
months to get over the hard knocks
They say / am afraid to stand toe
TO toe with man and swap punches.

up with CLANCY.
Il can take more hard punches than
any one OF my weight and still retain
my speed and punching power i will
stand up and take hard punches just so
I can get home the right kind of wal.
iop. did that with Frush. stepped in
and took all he had and then crashed
over the finishing punch"

Tut Jackson's History.
While little Is known as TO the ability
OF Tut Jackson. the Ohio negro who Is
TO meet Harry Wills at Ebbets Field
next Tuesday night. he enjoys the repu-
tation OF being considerably more exs
pert than Buddy Jackson, who was
snuffsd out in the second round by Wills
In Newark last Monday night.
There Is a general impression that
Tut jackson will share the same fate
Billy Mccartney, manager of Tut Jack
son, insists that his man is a phenomenal
fighter and Is sure to whip Wills.
Naturally Mccartney would not admit
that Jackson was outclassed by Wills,
even II ne feared that such was the case.
On the contrary, Mccartney makes out a
strong case for Jackson. and declares
that Tut has been boxing one year and
has had forty-nine battles in forty-six
Of which he has scored knockouts.
All of his contests save one have
been staged on the soil OF Ohio. and ac-
cording TO his fond manager Tut never
let an opponent get away without being
knocked out. If he failed TO stop a man
in the first meeting he was sure TO get
him the second time Therefore, jackson
stands revealed as boxer who has
knocked out every man that has had the
courage to face him in the ring Nc
Carney says so. and being Jackson's 8
manager, ne should know.
Tut stands High.
McCarney next dweils on the tre-
rnendous physical proportions of Jack
son. who stands feet III inches tall.
weighs 200 pounds and has a reach OF
so inches. longer than that OF any other
boxer in the history Of the sport Again
McCarney is authority for that state
ment, and he should know. as jackson
is under his managerial wing.
After making these assertions Nc
Carney assumed q serious expression OF
countenance ana said:
tut Jackson never mas been knocked
down, let alone Knocked out"
Mccartney makes one last request be-
fore his man enters the ring with Wills
II want the referee 10 prevent Wills
from holding with one hand and hitting
with the other
Meantime. Mr.. Jackeon. who Is In his
native town ~ Washington Court House

that Tut jackson IL a remarkable fell
