His Rival Only 2 Rounds
By Jack Lawrence


-sess night by lighting his G61st ring
sastla and scoring brilliant victory
,yer Charley White, of Chicago. The
s,minutive Scotch Wop never fought 3
hsadseY or gamer encounter than the
ss,st. He delivered half dozen blows
"a, avery one he received from White
and. although the latter had an ad-
v.ntage in weight OF seven pounds
1oanny carried the fight to him in most
q. the rounds.
Il was pundee's superior speed of
.hought that won him the victory. He
~.s always couple of thoughts ahead
Of the Chicago scrapper and repeatedly
asat him to the punch.
Dundee had the better Of nine Of the
sfseen rounds, while, as we saw the
battle, White had the advantage in only
4vo. the eighth and the thirteenth.
The rest we're even.
Dundee weighed 127M and White
ts4&. The Chicagoan used his left
almost entirely. His right came into
olay in the early rounds, but as the
ight progressed he seemed to forget
that he had such member.
Dundee and White entered the ring
few minutes after 10 o'clock and
pesed for feet of photographers. The
veteran Dundee got q great hand as
re climbed through the ropes to fight
she 5sfst ring battle of his career and
the fourth with Charley White, of
Chicago. Willie Jackson was intEo-
iuced and Joe Humphreys announced
that Willie would like to meet "his
conqueror. Charley White"
The betting had drifted co ever
money FIVE minutes before the boys
went into action. Earlier in the day
the Chicago scrapper was an 8 TO 5
savcrite. The weights were Dundee,
127 pounds; White. 1874.
First Round Quiet
They fddled a good deal in the first
round and White was the first TO land
With light left to the body. Dundee
shot over right TO the jaw and they
mixed it in the middle Of the ring.
The Scotch Wop, just before the bel'
rang, took a hard left to the chin
that seemed TO anger him and he tore
into the Westerner with both hands.
White gave Dundee & fierce lacing in
the second round, driving terrific rights
and lefts to the Italians jaw. These
Jaw attacks were interspersed with
hard shots 10 the stomach and ribs
that obviously hurt the New Yorker.
Several times Johnny was driven to
the ropes under the force of Whites
blows. II was a bad round for Dundee.
White brought the blood from Dun
des's ear in the third, but the veteran
gave a great exhibition OF boxing in
this round and landed many telling
blows to the face and body. White.
however, was cool, collected and never
in any trouble. 1t was plain, even this
early in the fight, that Whites right
hand was TO play an important part
n the milling.
Dundee smashed White in the jaw
in the fourth and Jared him back to
his heels. In this round the crowd
Jeered and Kissed when White began
his old tricks of "heeling." In this
session White was missing his left
iab repeatedly while Dundee used his
port nit to great advantage.
Dundee the Aggressor
They ripped each other viciously in
the fifth. Dundee landed two hard
iefts to the jaw while the crowd
cheered. White kept trying his left
TO the midsection, but it frequently
failed to connect. The Chicagoan
shook Dundee up and bounced him off
the ropes with hard left to the chin,
but the local scrapper kept boring in
and carrying the fight to his adversary.
They were milling fercely in the CEN
ter of the ring when the bell rang.
The sixth was filled with action and
fireworks and so was the seventh. In
this session the Scotch Wop enter
tanned with some of his well known
gymnastics and succeeded in planting
number of effective jolts to Whites
face and body. The Chicago boy
seemed to slow up under Dundee's
drives in the pantry. At this stage
Of the battle he appeared to forget
that he had right hand. The sixth
and seventh were Dundee's.
White came to life in the middle Of
the eighth round and drove some pow
erful rights and lefts to Dundee's
body. Johnny WINGED under the i'm
pact of these drives, but he never
backed up, except to bounce off the
ropes in order to return to the battle
with added impetus. In the ninth
White again shot hard left to the
Jaw. but took three in return. Whites
one punch seemed to have more behind
1t than the three of Dundee's. Dun
zee could hit White often enough, but
not hard enough.
supporters advised him to start some
thing if he wanted to grab the deci-
sion. The Westerner was not putting
up half the fight he did against Willie
jackson in the same ring few weeks
ago. While the ninth was even. Dun
aee mad all the better of the tenth, in
Which he danced circles aroupd Wh;+o
