Philadelphia, Aug. 2s.-Eddie Kid" Wagner of Philadelphia, deci- sively outpointed Johnny Dundee, worlds featherweight champion, in an eight round bout here last night, in the opinion of the majority of news paper men at the ringside.
 Dundee, throughout the fight, was within easy reach of Wagner's left. Hook after hook landed on the cham pion's face, practically closing his left eye in the third round. In only one round of the eight did Dundee show up at all well. Five of the others were awarded to Wagner while two were counted as draws.
 Only in the sixth did Dundee man age to dodge the local boys left long enough to set in any blows of his own. By use of his famous jun ping tactics he kept clear and kept busy.
 There was no little at stake, and Dundee entered the ring at the junior limit, 13o pounds. He did not show the same form he exhibited against Criqui, when he received de-

CITY TENNIS TOURNEY
 NOW BEING CONSIDERED
If Plans Go Through, Meet Will Be Held Sometime During the Next Two Weeks.

Plans are being made in this city for the holding of 8 tennis tourna- ment at Walnut Hill park to deter mine the tennis championship of the city. It is the plan of the promoters of the tournament to hold the match, providing sufficient interest is shown, during the next two weeks, and for this reason it is hoped that those wishing to enter the tournament will act promptly D .....
 The restrictions regarding entries to the meet are very simple in order to allow all those interested to have ample opportunity to show their ability at the game.
 Any one so desiring may enter the contest under the following con- ditions: He must be at least Is years of age. ?. He must pay an entrance fee of 50 cents for entrance into the singles championship, or a fee of 40 cents for entrance into the doubles championship. 3. Application may be made by calling Edward Shupack, Tel. 1900, who is in charge of all en- tries. Application may be made on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Drawings will be made Friday night and the results will be posted on Saturday morning. 4. Those entering the tournament must furnish their own equipment as balls, racquet, etc. 5. Entrants will please give their address and telephone numbers when making application.
 Both singles and doubles champion ships will be run off, and it is hoped that sufficient interest," will be shown in this venture to make it a success.
 Winners of either of these branches of the tournament may be rightfully acclaimed champions of the city, as the tournament is open to all who are above ] years of age and who desire to enter.
