Had nature endowed Dundee with

Packey Mcfarland, during his ring
career, had a similar experience to

4MB0Ys DISPOSE or ANOTHER CONTENDER FOR IT'LL
O'ROURKE'S ALL STARS
LOSE OUT TO AMBOYS
IN GAME HERE, 1881

The Perth Amboy Five, travelling
at break-neck speed at the local
Auditorium last night, disposed of
another opponent in their drive for
the state basketball championship
when they administered a 38 to 81
drubbing to Frank O'Rourke's All
Stars of Elizabeth.
Although the visitors took the lead
at the outset OF the game, this lead
changed hands before four minutes
of play had elapsed and from thence
on the Auditorium courtsters went
upon a scoring rampage and when
hostiltties terminated at the ex-
piratton of the first half the local
~favorites were leading by a ten point
margin, the cor being II to z with
Amboy in the van.
The locals took the floor in the
first stanza with Captain Thomas and
Regain at forwards, Davis at center
and Hanson and Schwankert at the
guarding posts. The second canto
found Willie Marion at guard with
Hanson. During the first five min
utes Of this session the local netmen
increased their lead, leading at one
time by a margin of fifteen points.
Chick" Sher was sent in as guard
and Marion advanced to forward.
Phil Simon, the demon forward of
the Elizabeth combination, then
went into action with a stampede
that cut the locals lead to three
points. Simon cut loose with four
field goals and five foul counters out
Of as many tries while Nolan at
guard heaved three shots more than
half the length of the court that
parted the nets for three double
deckers. Shriner, the other Elizabeth
forward, also got loose long enough
to locate the leather for two field
goals.
Captain Hank" Thomas gave a
splendid exhibition of foul shooting,
| parting the shreds nine times from
the fifteen foot line out OF nine at

times from the field. The entire local

some Of the greatest Of fighters.
In making such a statement
have In mind the weights of the var

I have reference to are Johnny Dun
dee, Mike Gibbons, Harry. Greb and
Packey Mcfarland.
Johnny Dundee had one shot at
the feather-weight title, meeting
Johnny Kilbane shortly after he had
won the championship from Abe
Attell.
Dundee, of course, was forced to
make the featherweight limit. He
experienced considerable trouble
getting down to the weight and was
much weakened. Despite this, he

Kilbane has v e had for the feath-
er-weight title.
While Dundee later met Kilbane
in New York, it was not at the
featherweight limit, and he would
not have won the title by even a
Knockout.
In-Between Weights
Dundee is one of the in-between
fighters. He is strongest at about
127 or 1913. Such a weight is about
the same poundage under the light
weight limit as it is over the feather
weight.
Few featherweights have had
much. of a liking for Dundee's game.
