New-York tribune., 1922-09-02

When Kilbane refused to defend his
title here at the request of the New
York State Boxing Commission, the au-
Johnny Dundee and Danny Frush and
declared that the winner of this fight
would be regarded in this state as the
featherweight champion of the world.
Kilbane knocked out Frush when they
met at Ebbets Field.
Despite this novel method Of allocat-
ing worlds titles, the public has con-
tinued to regard Kilbane as the holder
of the worlds title and will do so until
Kilbane is knocked out or decisiyeiy
beaten In order to win the worlds
title from Kilbane Dundee will be
compelled to knock the Clevelander
cold, as no decisions are permitted IN
the state of Jersey.
Dundee Threatened With Suspension
William Muldoon, chairman of the
New York State Athletic Commission,
last night declared that Dundee would
have his license to box in this state
revoked by tho commission If he en-
gagged in bout with Kilbane.
"Kilbane is under suspension for re-
fusal to defend his title" said Null
the laws of this state who boxes with
Kilbane or any suspended man will be
himself suspended automatically. This
announcem ent was clearly made by the
commission months ago. No boxer who
holds a license in this state can meet o
suspended boxer, and they may as well
all understand it now.
Gas the case stands Dundee may go
on with the match if he considers it Of
III Or
box in the State Of New York"
Dundee could not be reached last
night. Frank Flournoy when told of
Chairman Muldeon's statement de-
ciined to comment. AS the matter
stands Dundee can escape punishment
by the New York Commission only by
having Kilbane apply for and receive
reinstatement here.
AS part of the agreement reached
yesterday between Rickard and Kilbane
the promoter consented to match Alex
Hart, Cleveland lightweight, against
George Cheney or Willie jackson in the
semi-fnal.
jos Lynch, bantamweight champion
cf the world, practically agreed yester-
day to meet the winner of the fight be-
tween Sammy Nable and Danny Lee at
the Velodreme next Monday night. This
will be the first tifae that Lynch has
defended his title here since he won
Nable or Lee ought to be able to make
things interesting for the slugging
West Slider. According to report at
Madison Square Garden yesterday,
Frank Flournoy, matchmaker for the
Velodrome, has secured Joe Lynchs
word that he will meet the winner of
the Nable-Lee affair.
Lee and Nable have both been max
ing an impression in fast company, and
neither has ever been knocked out. Lee
has lost but one decision since he
started his rapid rise to the place he
row holds, and that was to the always
dangerous frankie Jerome, Billy Glib
sons protege. Nable earned draw with
Jerome Nable and Lee are to go twelve
rounds.
Monday nights card at the Velo-
drome, while it doesn't appear partic-
ularly brilliant on paper, probably will
produce far more action than did that
enc which led up to the recent Dundee
Martin scrap. The main attraction will
be a twelve-round encounter between
Kid Sullivan, of Brooklyn, and Sammy
Sieger, of the East Side, Sullivan once
distinguished himself by fiattening
Pepper Martin in four rounds, and
Sieger was giving Pepper tough
lacing when he lost on foul.
Former Amateurs Carded
Another bout on this card that
should prove to be whizzer will bring
together Louis Guglielmini and Sid
Terris, both former amateur cham
pions. Billy Hamilton and Jimmy
Montgomery, two middleweights, will
complete the program. This is the
first OF a series of popular priced
Il 4lo& Tl<,,, hao
ranged for the Velodrome.
Mike O'Dowd, once middleweight
champion of the world, will find him
self in fair way to win the middle
weight championship of this state
when hs meets Dave Rosenberg, holder
of that somewhat vague title, at Eb-
bets Field on the night of September
10. Dave Driscoll, matchmaker for the
the st. Paul fighter and Rosenberg
yesterday afternoon. O'Dowd original
ly won his title in Brooklyn, and he
expects to grab the New York State
championship there,
Driscoll, incidentally, announced yes
Serday the complete card that will lead
up to the fifteen-round scrap between
Johnny Dundee and Willie Jackson at
Ebbets Field next Wednesday. The

Leonard, of Philadelphia, and Harry
London, of this city. According to
Philadelphia fight critics, Leonard is
headed for the top of his division. He
has been knocking them over right
and left in Philly.
Preceding the London-Leonard scrap
Red Cap Wilson and Willie CARRIER will
go ak rounds. Andy Lake, former
state and metropolitan amateur cham
pion, meets Joe Daily in four-round
bout, and the opener over the same dis
tance will bring together Johnny
Curry. cousin of Johnny Dundee, and
person named Willie Mack. Driscoll
said that 5000 tickets were placed on
sale yesterday at dollar each.
Babe Herman, who has been faring
rather poorly in the ring of late, will
attempt another comeback on Tuesday
night at the Oakland A. A., in Jersey
City, when he meets Jack Hausner, the
East Slider, in the main bout of twelve
rounds. Hausner has recently shown
exceedingly well against Pepper Mar
tin and Jack Sharkey. Herman, since
his cne-round Knockout at the hands
of Pepper Martin, has been buffeted
shout by number of opponents. He
certainly is not picking q soft mark
for his belated comeback.
