New York. Aug. 5.-Politics. Thus
may the unexpected, the sudden, the
altogether surprising matclr of Benny
Leonard and Johnny Ounce be .ex-
planned, the fight TO take place at the
Yankee Stadium on the night of Sep
TENDER ) under the auspices of the
Cromwell Athletic Club. This would
seem TO put a spike in Tex Richards
plans to bring Leonard and Charley
White together late this month.
Tex sat around his office all Mon
day afternoon. waiting for an expcc-
ted call from Billy Gibson TO discuss
final details of the bout. But Glib
son never showed up. Then out Of
the clear sky the announcement that
Leonard and Dundee are TO renew their
ancient grIdge was made.
Eight times have the two fighters
met and always with mutual respect.
Leonard never was able 10 Go much
with Dundee and, on the other hand,
The featherweight champion did not
maui the lightweight king to any ap-
preciable degree. 1t was nice little
arrangement and did not cease until
it began 10 appear as though the Gus
toners would like q shift in the bill,
whereupon Benny took on limited en-
gagement with Jack Britton-which
Mickey Walker interrupted.
Dundee and Leonard have so many
friends in New York that bumper at
tendance is certain and the situation,
indeed. may so size up that it will be
deemed expedicnt 10 carry on. the
partnership throughout the winter.
Upon second thought. however. this
is hardly likely since the bout will
go to a decision and Leonard will be
required to defend his title at the
lightweight limit. He would hardly
let Johnny shade him. But. again.
upon third thought, Leonard could
so conduct himself as TO win the de-
cision after battle sufficiently close
TO pack the ball park upon the oc
casion of still another battle. One
never can tell about these things.
Dundee will have no trouble at all
in making the lightweight limit; in
fact, he should enter the ring well be-
low the required mark. it being re-
mcmbered that he was at his best
against CriQui at the featherweight
limit of 126 pounds.
