this trick in their victory over the

These games were witnessed by
one of the largest crowds Of the

shop team was well fortified on one
end with Potts and Yaconissi. Mgr.
Hall, with a little assistance on the
other end, probably could have turn
ed in different results. but Seventh
Ward was out to win and had quite a
number of fans on the firing line
who helped to a great extent 10 pull
them through to victory.

Al times Dundee took on alleged
lightweights who we're EARLY closer
to the welterweight limit. However,
he never quibbled over the weight
question.
There Is another thing about Dun
de, that appeals to the boxing en-
thusiasts. he always gives them a run
for their money. Any time Dundee
is one Of the principals IL means the
fans will get plenty OF action. Dun
dee Is that kind OF a fighter. He
forces Il.
Dundce's toughest break was his
failure to get a match with Freddie
Welsh before Leonard got his chance
at the title Dundee would have
surely beaten Welsh. who was ripe
for the FIRST good nghter who met
