CHARLIE Whit:
GAINS VICTORY
over ]. Dundee
Chicago Lightweight and Juni or
King Put Up Great Battle
at Douglas Park.
BY ]. l.. HUGHES.

Charlie White, chicago HgNt-
weight, relieved himself of some OF
the sting attached to his defeat IN
Madison Square Garden, New
York. last winter by Johnny Dun
dee. by seeking his way to a vic
tory over the 130-pousid champion
in their 10-round enlargement at
Douglas park yesterday.
In the opinion of all the news
paper men at the ring tide and the
majority of spectators, Charlie won
by landing more effective punches.
Dundee scored fully as often as
White, but the fact thaEl he was in
distress on two or three occasions
swung the tide in favor OF the
Windy City battler.
1t was a great fight botween two
topnotchers. White, tot1ng dyna-
mite in either hand, had his smaller
opponent dizzy in at least two OF the
10 rounds. Johnny relied mostly on
his left hand, which ho repeatedly
slipped through Whites guard. Dun
dee divided his attack between the
head and body but his flows lacked
the necessary force to slow up
Charlie. White concentrated on
Johnny's chin in hopus OF finding
the SPOT which would have meant
knockout
The fighters started cautiously
and warmed up as the tcOntest pro
ceeded. White forged shead in the
third round when he cpened up at
close quarters and sho TX johnny
badly. The willy little WOW managed
, to go along at an even pr ce IN the
! fourth and fifth rounds. ana IN tne
sixth got in his best work on the
heavier man. In that SESSION ne
scored often. The seyev tn and
eighth were fairly even hit IN the
last two rounds White gained
clear advantage and won.
| Dundee was badly shaken in the
ninth round. White forced the
milling. having Johnny packed
against the ropes in &sperllCFlS Slt-
uation. He failed to press tins ad-
vantage and Johnny danced out OF
danger.
Cummings Wins.
| George Cummings. Dave iport
weller, came back against Budi MIC
/ FaCden in the semi-windup. &c urge
put Bud TO the canvass no less man
a dozen times IN six rounds, acchrd-
+ ing to those who claimed to have
kept count.
/ McFadden showed gameness. lie
came I'D every time before the
! count of nine He took more pun
I ishment in six rounds than many
fighters take in their entire career
Cummings had before him pic-'
ture of his decisive defeat at the
hands of McFadden two years ago.
He erased it effectively after the
first minute or two. When NC
Fadden went down in the first
round, it looked as if the bout was
due to end right then. But the
( Sterling boy came UP.
/ Jimmy Gill had the better of his
! four-round bout with Johnny Show
ers. Gill showed speed, cleverness
and a good punch. On one occasion
( Gill stood against the ropes and
/ laughingly lodged every attempt OF
/ Showers to land.
/ III the first preliminary Young
Moha, carrying a weight advantage
/ had the best of Sonnie Lloyd of Day-
export.
Financial Failure.
! The show was a financial failure.
Liberal guarantees were given the
main go fighters, and the receipts
far from paid out. The bout at
tracted only comparatively few
Grotto visitors.
