The month Of August will be crowd
ed with interesting pugillstic events. In
Guiding three title bouts and two elm.
tnation contests The first of the nom
championship bouts win bring together
Charley White. who is next in line for
a battle with Leonard, and Bobby Bar
rett. the Philadelphia youngster who
was roughly treated by Tender several
weeks ago. Barrett has completely re-
covered from the effects Of the joust
with Tender and Is said to be in fight
ing condition once more. These two
hard hitting lightweights will meet at
the New York velodrome next Monday
night and 1t should prove to be an in
teresting bout II will be dispute be-
tween left hook expert and q right
hand swinger. The chances faver the
veteran White, who is too experienced
fo1 the youngster.
The next ring contest will bring Phil
Krug of Harrison, N. j., and Dave
Rosenberg of Brooklyn into the ring Of
the New York velodrome on the night
of August IA. This is championship
bout ordered by the New York State
Athletic Commission to fill the vacancy
in the middleweight championship due
to the deposition Of Johnny Wilson.
Rosenberg Is known as a rugged, COM
bative person, with good punch. He
Is a good ring general and can be de-
pended on to put up a strong fight.
Krug showed his form at Boyle's Thirty
Acres In a bout preliminary to the
Leonard-Tendler affair. Krug was op-
posed by a husky chap named Joe
Qxinn, and while the Harrison middle
weight earned the decision on points. he
was lacking in aggressiveness. Krug has
remarkably useful left hand, and he Is
a.. cafA 81 IN avvn haa fn,1
Rosenberg in decisionless bout few
months ago, but he will need more pep
per than he exhibited last Thursday
night il he Is to win the title in bout
with Rosenberg.
There will be another title bout on
August Is, the night following the
Krug- Rosenberg tilt. This will intro
duce the modern iron man, Johnny Dun
dee. in a bout with Danny Frush for
the featherweight title that Johnny Kill
bane refused to defend. This contest
will take place at Ebbets Field, and
should be full. of action. Dundees de-
fensive skill and his ability to collect
points are we'll known, but 1t is not un-
likely he will be put to hard test in
his tussle with Frush, who is good
boxer and a vicious puncher Dundee
win be compelled to do more jumping
about the ring than he has for some time,
and while he may escape knockout it
looks as though Frush would win on
points.
The final local contest of the month
will introduce to the patrons of Ebbets
Field those two ebony skinned combat
ants. Harry Wills. who is matched with
Jack Dempsey, and Tut Jackson. who in
sists he is more entitled to match with
the champion than is Wills. This match
eh int fOy no raQ IN
that If Jackson possesses the class at
tributed to him by his manager the bout
may give patrons line on the ability OF
Wills. Billy Mccartney, who handles
Jackson. declares, quite naturally, that
Jackson Is 4 better man than Wills and
Is likely TO eliminate the Mullins candi-
date from the heavyweight scramble.
This. of course. remains to BE seen.
The most important out of town con-
test will show Benny Leonard, still
lightweight champion, in a joust with
Ever Hammer in the open air arena of
Floyd Fitzsimmons at Michigan City.
Ind, next Sunday. Leonard knocked out
Hammer in twelve rounds in 1916. and
probably thinks he can repeat the trick.
Hammer is under the impression that
Leonard will be weak as a result OF
three hard bouts in short period of
time and that he will have chance to
lift the title. Hammer claims he had
the better of Charley White in a recent
bout and the Western boxing fans have
a high opinion Of his ability. Promoter
Rickard has consented to stage a Leon
ard-White contest at the Velodrome late
in September.
Johnny Buff, who has been resting at
White Sulphur Springs. will return
shortly and prepare to defend his fly
weight title. The diminutive Jerseyman
thinks 1t will be harder to relieve him
of his 112 pound title than 1t was to
get the bantam crown away from him.
While the discrepancies in the count
of tickets sold for the Leonard-Tendler
battle may be exasperating. yet the mis-
takes are not unbearable. A difference
of a few thousand dollars to the youth
full millionaires who box for a living
would hardly cause them any worriment.
