He Must Know Him Now,

~ LANCING over the ring rec
r ord of Pancho Villa, the
~ American flyweight cham
pion, we note that no fewer than
ten times has he tackled Battling
Ballerino.
Battling Ballerino, who recently
landed in New York, was a SOL
der in the American army in the
Philippines. He was knocked cold
by Carl Tremaine, the Cleveland
bantam, the other day and may
not be heard from much more,
but he sure did mix it up with
Pancho Villa over in Manila.
In 1920, his second year as a
professional, Villa faced Battling
Ballerino four times. He defeat
ed him twice in six-round bouts
and worked two six-round no.
decision bouts with him.
But it was in 1921 that saw
these lads mingling frequently.
Must have been running around
making faces at each other to
keep up the interest. First Villa
defeated the enemy in ten rounds,
then in fifteen, then in twenty
rounds. Some of the folks hav-
ing failed to see that last bout,
they repeated, Villa again win
ming in twenty rounds. Just to
make everything pleasant, they
also fought two fifteen-round
draws.
Don't laugh at poor Pancho.
Opponents were scarce around
Manila. He had to face such lads
as Terrible Pondong, Jose De La
Cruz, Pedro Olongapo, Yg Santos,
Stiff Irineox and Cesareo Siguion.
Can't blame him much for pick
ing on the euphonious Battling
Ballerino.

Chick Evans Decides
To Defend His
Title

Chick Evans has decided to
defend his western golf title this
year at the Mayfield Country
Club, Cleveland. He had de-.
cided he would never again COM
pete in the event. A desire to
tie the record of John Ball, of
England, and George S. Lyon, of
Canada, each Of whom has won
a big amateur title eight times,
changed his mind. Evans has
won the Western six times.

himself able to win decision and
the lightweight championship.
Twice has Dundee faced Leon
ard. Each time it was in an
eight-round no-decision affair in
New Jersey. Only by stopping
the titleholder could the chal-
lenger hope to take the honors
and each time the clever Leonard
was on his feet with the final
bell.
Chances are very much against
Dundee's ever succeeding Leonard
as the lightweight champion OF
the world, but in his thirteen
years of activity in the ring he
has proved the short life the
average boxer enjoys as a per.
former before the public. They
don't last long, unless they hap
pen to be a Dundee, a Leonard
a Kilbane or a White.

Dundee engaged in fourteen
four-round preliminary contests
that first year in the ring, win
ming all of them on points. It
was not until 1911 that he de-
veloped a knockout punch, dis
posing of eight unknowns that
year. He was given sixteen de-
cisions in 1911 and engaged in
nineteen no-decision bouts. He
believed in keeping busy.
A preliminary boxer has more
opportunity to get bouts, but
even now when he has been hon
ored by the New York State Box
ing Commission with the rather
mythical title of "junior light
weight Champion" Dundee keeps
in the ring.
Last year Johnny Dundee
fought eighteen bouts, scattered
from New York to Milwaukee
and up to Toronto. He does con-
siderable travelling. His success
over so many years probably fol-
lows, for no boxer ever lasted

It's a Hard Game.

nOXING is a hard game, as
the record of Johnny Dun
dee indicates. Take some
of the lads the present junior
lightweight champion met in his
first three years in the ring, can
you recall their present where
abouts?
Johnny Lore, Mike MALTA,
Young Brown, frankie Fleming,
Young Shugrue, Tommy Houck,
Harry Tracy, Tommy O'Toole,
Matt Brock, Eddy O'Keefe, Pal
Moore, and Eddie Morgan, all
this gladstone array tackled the
rising Johnny Dundee. Where
are they now? Ask of the noble
west wind, it can't tell you.
Few and far between are the
boxers facing Dundee over those
three years who are still in the
game. In 1912 Dundee fought
ten-round no-decision bouts with
both Charlie White and Johnny
Kilbane. All three were feather
weights then.
Johnny Kilbane is today the
inactive American featherweight
champion. Charlie White is the
foremost contender for Benny
Leonard's lightweight title, Dundee
is the real lightweight champion,
though sporting the so-called
