Frush of Cleveland, a featherweight
OF good repute and excellent perform
ances.
out his man in fifty seconds of the
ninth round, but he also collected an
other boxing title, that of the feather
weight championship of America, add
ing it to his other ring honor as the
1S0 pound champion of this country.
The knockout was so unexpected
and the bout had dragged so almost
up TO the sensational climax that the
spectators were astounded. Up to the
eighth round the contest had been
slow and rather uninteresting, so much
so that the spectators several times
hooted the performers.
Down and Counted Out.
When .Erush came out for the ninth
Ad Dundee rashed at him furiously
md pummelled him with every known
<blow. The Clevelander was soon stag
gering about the ring in a helpless
condition and Dundee ended his mis-
cry with solid lefthander to the pit
of the stomach that crumpled him up
on the hoor where he was counted
out. 1t was several minutes before
Frush revived after being helped to
his corner, and meantime the victori-
GUS Dundee was carried to his dress
ing room by his jubilant partisans.
Dundee said as he left the ring he
would now demand a bout with Kill
bane for the featherweight title.
Like bolt from the blue Dundee cleo
trified the onlookers in the eighth round
by a cyclone rush during which he bat
tered the astonished Frush all about the
ring. doubling him up with a terrific
left to the stomach and dropping him to
the floor for a count of nine with
volley OF lefts and rights to the Jaw
Although Frush managed to reach
his feet before ten had been counted
over him, he was in a very shaky condi-
tion and in danger of a knockout at
that point of the proceedings. BY using
his feet and clinehing he managed to
keep in perpendicular position till the
welcome bell sent him to his corner
The new champion said on his record
ne was much more entitled to the
HOnofS imam h1lDane, as he had been
persistently fighting the men in three
classes for many years. He believed
that the American people would endorse
the action of the New York State Com
mission and recognize him as the real
featherweight champion of America.
He said further that be would be ready
at all times to defend his title against
ali qualified challe gWr
While Frush pro- ed to be a fairly
good boxer and is known to carry a
heavy punch in either hand, yet he was
completely baffled by the defence of
Dundee and was unable to land with
effect. Frush was guilty of hitting low
several times. but Dundee paid no atten-
ton TO these blows. Dundee had a
clear lead in points up to the time that
he scored the first knockdown in the
eighth round.
Dundee was 8 to choice to win
on points if the bout went the limit and
hackers Of Frush asked to on Frush
to win by a knockout. Had any one
offered 70 bet that Dundee would score
a Knockout that person could have got
100 60 l for his money. Not since he
was fiyweight has Dundee done any
knocking out. He was only stopped once
In his career, Willie Jackson being the
man who landed the knockout punch
Dundee said that I'm addition to the
two titles he now possesses he would
like 80 add the lightweight honors to his
collection, and will make n determined
effort TO get bout to a decision with
