or the pantanWeigntss
This sounds like pipe dream, but
Johnny declares that he could do it.
II he could knock Joe Lynch over
Johnny would be the proud possessor
Of three titles---the junior lightweight,
the featherweight and bantamweight.
Making 124M pounds for Danny
Frush certainly didn't appear to
weaken the revolving Scotch Wop. 1t
is probably q fact that Dundee was
never in better condition than he was
on Tuesday night when he bowled over
the Cleveland scrapper in the ninth
round. He said yesterday that he
could have made 122 pounds il it had
been necessary. IL Joe Lynch, the
bantamweight champion, would like to
mix with Johnny at 122 pounds the
latter would be glad to make that
weight for him.
Incidentally, Dundee received $13,-a
227 for plastering Danny F'rush on
Tuesday evening. In addition to some
tough slams on the chin, Frush re-
ceived S6,t7245 for his end. That sum
was TN per cent of the net receipts,
which amounted to S35,272. The gross
receipts, including the government tax
Of 10 per cent, amounted to S40,8 ,840.S0.
The state tax, taken from the net re-
ceipts, totaled S1,856. According to
statement given out yesterday by the
Ebbets- -McKeever Corporation, there
were 1890 paid admissions.
The highest price ticket was S5, and
the sale of these alone brought in $751;
$40. The So seats brought in $15,906
and the So seats $5,712.
While there seems to be no desire
anywhere TO beiittle Dundee's victory,
the opinion was pretty generally ex
pressed yesterday that Frush put up
one Of the poorest battles Of his
career.
Benny Leonard told US yesterday
that he had made no definite arrange
ments for his trip to Europe and inti-
mated that he would probably engage
in at least one more scrap here before
casting off for the other side. The
champ plans to do no boxing while
abroeN but may give few exhibitions.
His main idea is to show his mother
and sixteen-year-old sister the prin-
cipal points of interest in England and
on the Continent.
II Leonard does fight again before
going abroad his opponent is almost
certain to be Charley White, the Chi
cago lightweight. Charley's stock has
doomed considerably in this neck of
the woods since he disposed of Bobby
Barrett, the Philadelphia slugger, in
such decisive fashion couple of weeks
ago. Whites official challenge to
Leonard, together with certified
check for s2,500,\has been In the hands
of the Boxing Commission for some
time. This is one case, however, in
which the Commission is powerless to
dictate what the title-holder shall do.
Benny has been the busiest champion
in the game for the last six months
and is due for well-earped vacation.
Doc Bagley, manager Of Gene Tun-
new, SAYS that the latter's scrap to-
night with Charley Weinert at the
Broad A. c., in Newark, will be the
first step in comeback campaign that
has for its aim the regaining Of the
American light heavyweight champion
ship from Harry Greb. Tunney and
Weinert are to box twelve rounds.
Bagley says that when Gene meets
Harry again he will adopt far differ
ent tactics from those he followed in
the bout ct Madison Square Garden
when he lost the title to the Pittsburgh
windmill. "And the result will be diff
ferent, too," alleges the Doc.
Tut Jackson will do practically no
training here for his bout with Harry
Wills at Ebhets Field on August 90.
