DUNDEE SET PACE TOO
SPEEDY FOR MARTIN
Challenger Fought Game Battle But
Champion Successfully
Defended Title

New York, Aug. 29-Johnny Dun
dee, veteran Italian pugilist, success
fully defended his world Junior light
weight" title last night. receiving the
judges Lewiston after a 15round con
test with Vincent C'Pepper') Martin
of Brooklyn,
In the first round Dundee sent Mar
tin to his knees with a sharp left to
the chin; Martin was wild and missed
often as the speedy Italian danced
about him, rushing him to the ropes
time and again. They we're in Sc
ries OF vicious exchanges In the sec,
Iond, Dundee landing cleaner and
oftener They both jumped and
danced in the third, exchanging
heavy punches to the jaw
The fourth was another series of
hard exchanges, Martin holding his
own in the punching. He was made
to miss often, however, by the willy
Italian Martin adopted the Dundee
jumping and lodging tactics in the
fifth and clipped Dundee with hard
left to the chin several times. Mar
tin shook the Italian in the sixth
with hard rights to the jaw,
They slowed down in the seventh
and after Martin had shaken Dundee
with a right uppercut the Italian
launched a two-handed assault to
the head. Dundee started punch
ing bee in the eighth and Martin re-
sponded willingly. II was about an
even exchange. There was little
heavy action in the ninth.
Dundee punched Martin at will in
the tenth after bringing blood from
his nose with straight right
Martin attacked Dundee cautiously
in the eleventh and Dundee answer
ed with shower of rights and lefts
to the jaw and body The Twelfth
was slow and uninteresting with Mar
tin always on the defensive.
Martin came out full of fight in the
thirteenth but Dundee put him on the
defensive again with sharp left 10
the chin that sent him to the ropes.
Dundee pummelled Martin all about
the ring In the fotirteentA,
Martin fought like a. tiger in the
fifteenth, but was worsted in the
heavy punishing assaults
Martin was a willing enough hght-
er, but he was no match for Dundee's
experience. The Italian was fast
and ne attacked the Brooklyn boys
head and body as he pleased The
first blow in the first round, a sharp
left by Dundee. sent Martin to his
launches. When he came up Dundee
started a right and left handed at
tack to his head and body. 1t was
Dundee's favorite mode of attack
throughout all of the rounds.
Martin caught Dundee on the chin
with a Wild swing now and then, but
the Italian always returned these
blows and Immediately put the Brook
lynite on the defensive. The whole
contest was nothing more than box
ing lesson for Martin. Dundee was
never in danger
Martin weighed 1870 pounds and
Dundee ia 94.

SEVENTEEN DODGERS SCHEDULED FOR CATE
Ebbetts and Robinson Are Reported As Preparing To FIJI Ranks of 1923 Team With Youngsters.

Brooklyn, Sept. 27.-It developed yesterday that Charley Ebbets had asked for waivers on almost his en- tire ball club-no fewer than seven teen Of his Dodgers. Ebbets the Mo- Keevers and Wilbert Robinson held a long conference on Sunday and deter mined to tear the Brooklyn club to pieces and rebuild 1t for next season. Uncle Robbie will attempt to recon struct winner with the help of youngsters.
 It is known that among the seven teen are Leon Galore. Ivy Olson, Ray Schmandt, Hal Janvrin, Chuck Ward, Bernie Neis, Al Mamaux. Bernie Hun gling and Sam Post, newcomer re- called from Reading. It is whisper ed the name of Burleigh Grimes also Is on the list.
 Grimes would like to leave Brook lyn, and it is said that the Brooklyn owners would like to make a trade for Grimes. No club could get the pitcher for the waiver price of s2,500. The request, if 1t has been made, is in the nature of feeler for trades, as no doubt are the demands for waiv- CTS on several others.
