Scotty Monteith Is
Reminiscent as to Dundee
Manager Says Hardest Fight
Was With Joe Rivers.

Scotty Monteith. the man who discov-
cred Dundee. says the boxer has earned
more than 100000 In the ring and
never lost a decision In his frst six
years of fighting. He lost to Joe Mandot
at New Orleans In 1916. In all Dundee
has fought nineteen 20-round battles,
his hardest one being with Joe Rivers
in Los Angeles 1t was the last 90
round bout in California. Dundee get
ting the decision.
II picked Dundee up twelve years
ago said Monteith yesterday, outside
Of his fathers fish store. My wife had
been ailing and the doctor ordered clam
broth, and | was headed for the fish
store when / saw Dundee boxing with a
youngster. / watched with interest. A
young sailor came along, Harry Mitchell
by name. Dundee offered him 40 cents
to go three rounds with him, and after
1t was over / told Dundee to report at
the West Side A. c. the next day. He
did, and in three weekqs / started him
off at the Sharlkey club with Skinny
Bob.
''IIe won that bout and never stopped
winning for six years until he was the
victim Of a bad decision at New orleans
against Mandot.
At the gym he was forced to Jump
high In the air to get at the punching
bag. which habit followed him in the
ring. That is where he got the jumping
habit.
Joe Rivers gave him the hardest
battle after he entered the ring. but
before he started out he proved his
worth in front of the American Theater.
Jim Corbett was playing there. and
Johnny and the boys around the neigh
borhood looked after Jim's car outside
during the engagement. At the end of
the week Corbett handed Johnny 50
bill, and there was a scramble for 1t
among the youngsters. Dundee waded
through the mob-there must have been
twenty of them--and he came out on
top with the bill.
THE fact that Dundee boxed SO often
Kept him in condition. and 1t was not
necessary for him to keep in hard train
ing. Two or three days was enough for
him, and that Is the reason he has lasted
so long"
This, no doubt, will interest Pepper
Martin, who meets Dundee at the Velo-
drome tomorrow night

worth money to get a look al their
splendid bodies and great strong legs.
Sullivan hoped about the room as spry
as kitten. He worked his arms back
and forth and kept this up for a good
while. When they had finished their
work Muldeon said IT'S time to 20 TO
bed now, John And john just as
obedient as IL he had been Muldoon's
child, stopped exercising and threw him
self on bed.
.'The next morning the big fellow was
up by o'clock. He ate big breakfast
and spent the time h4ore the fight In
light exercise and I'm l5unging about.
Just before the fight a Mississippi
Sheriff stepped into the ring. The Sher-
iff said, loud enough for everybody to
hear him
"Tn the name Of the law command
this fight not to proceed
The Sheriff then stepped back and
watched the fight. When the men
stripped in the ring there was no COM
parison between them. Kilrain didn't
look like he could whip one side OF Sui
livan. He had dull look in his eyes
and a slight stoop OF the shoulders. and
his flesh was ashy white.
"I can't tell about the fight by rounds.
Sullivan whipped Kilrain with two
blows He gave them both in the same
place" tthese blows were struck, the
first In Che third and the second in the
ninth round). THE first one knocked
kilrain sprawling.
Toward the middle OF the fight It
looked a little like Kilrain would win.
He had caught his second wind and
John L. was looking a little groggy. but
somehow or other Kilrain's blows seemed
to have no effect on the big one. To-
ward the finish both men were tolerably
weak. Kilrain was a whole lot weaker
than Sullivan. Sullivan wasn't badly
punished, but Kirain looked pretty
badly used tip. l saw him as he was
riding back TO New Orleans. His face
was bruised and swollen and his body.

TUT JACKSON SAYS
HEISAFATALIST
If It Is in the Cards He Will
Defeat Harry Wills at
Ebbets Field.
BY CHARLES #. MATHIsoN.

Tut Jackson. who is to box Harry
Wills at Ebbets Field next Tuesday
night, arrived in this city yesterday and
submitted to an interview. Jackson was
attired in white and black check suit
and this was the only obtrusive feature
of his makeup. Considerable surprise
was expressed when 1t was discovered
that he did not carry a cane. From
Peter Jackson down to Kid Norfolk Ell
prominent negro boxers have carried
canes. Apprehension arose in the minds
of students of African ring form as to
the chances for success of a negro fighter
minus a walking stick. In shaking hands
jackson apparently reaches half way
across a room. his reach being S0L
inches, and If he can reach Wills at the
same distance Dempsey may have to
sign new articles of agreement for his
next fight.
When asked how tall he was jackson
said he was 6-L 1t was suggested to
him that If he had mastered 6-1 he
should be familiar 1-2. He grinned and
said:
Yes. / know all about 1-2 and
Know enough to keep away from 9-10."
He then took off his coat, rolled up his
sleeve and tape measure disclosed the
fact that he had a IL inch bicep which
Is remarkably large. At the same time
his Is not muscle bound, his muscles
appearing to be long and flexible.
what chance do you think you have
with Wills?" he was asked.
Well. / think I'll beat him." he re-
Piled. ''ut 1t is question of fate. III
| beat him 1t is in the cards If he
beats me 1t is still in the cards. Yes,
guess I'm what you call fatalist I'm
awful glad TO get the match with Wills.
for 1t gevs me the chance I have
wanted to get up to the top OF the
game"
Don't you think wills's experience
will count against YOU? He's full of
tricks, you know"
'Oh, know few tricks myself. but
don't depend on tricks or boxing to
win. depend on the punch / can
sock, and that is what Intend to do as
soon as | get going with Wills If he
can sock harder and faster than can
he VIII win. IL sock harder and faster
than he does / Will win."
'"What about the referee stopping
Wills from holding with one hand and
hitting with the other? VIII you Insist
on thatP"
Il am going into the ring in the belief
that will get a fair deal from the ref
cree. The referee will be appointed
by the Boxing commission OF the State.
and feel sure | will get square deal"
AS Jackson walked out 1t was noticed
that his pedal extremities were un-
usually large. He admitted that he
wore a 1879 F shoe.
And l never been knocked Off these
here feet" he said, as he showed his
big. white teeth.
jackson will train to-day and to-mor-
row in Newark. as he desired to get as
far from the white lights as possible.

and an hour and a half before match
time things looked more favorable. The
crowd was there. although the weather
still looked threatening the players
were there. and the Longwood Cricket
Club and the national championship
committee men were all there prepared
to go throgh with the program. while
everybody prayed ferventiy that nothing
would interfere.

The match means a great deal FOR
both teams. Should Tilden and Richards
emerge triumphant they not only will
have saved the doubles title for Afneri-

their choice as the doubles team for
the Davis Cup challenge round AZ Forest
