UNITED Press Sports EDITOR

NEW YORK, Sept. Admitted
Press.eJohnny Dundee waited for
thirteen years for the chance to win
the worlds ~featherweight champion
ship and he has been waiting SIX
years for a good crack at the light
weight title.
holding out so long against what
looked like a mighty slim chance
of a shot at the crown held so long
by Johnny Kilbane were rewarded.
and It remains to be told tomorrow
night II his vigil at the heels of
Benny Leonard is to have the same
results.
Dundee and Leonard are going to
fight fifteen rounds to a decision in
tho Yankee stadium for the light
weight championship Of the world.
The great little italian fighter has
been in the ring eight times against
the lightweight champion, but this
is the first time Leonard will risk
his title on n decision, and 1t is also
the first time that the champion will
have to make weight for Dundee.
Leonard must make 1856 pounds al
2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and
he must accept the decision of two
judges and the referee II he doe.
not succeed in stopping the feather
weight within forty-five minutes OF
actual fighting.
1t is a hard fight to figure. be
there are s many factors
that might influence the game OF
the two champions.
Leonard is a great boxer. After
the exhibition of brains and skill he
gave against Lew Tender in Their
recent fight. many oldtlmers ex
pressed the opinion that he was the
greatest fighting machine OF al
times among the lightweights. Leon
ard can hit with both hands, he IL
n superb boxer and a most crafty
ring general.
Game and rugged as he Is, Dun
dee can hardly stand up under the
punishment that Leonard gave Tend
fer. Only the stoutest heart and the
most rugged constitution that are
represented in Tender could have
withstood the beating the champion
gave his foremost contender thai
night not so many weeks ago in the
Polo grounds,
Tender. however. had to take the
punishment. He was not smart
enough or clever enough to get GU
of the way of the barrage of glove.
that Leonard dropped on him-but
Dundee is clever enough and smnri
enough to do II.
Dundee has been knocked out
once in his career by Willie Jack
son. Dundee always claimed IL was

/ q fluke loss on . lucky punch, and
he made his point strong by beating
Jackson In numerous subsequent en-
counters.
Just as Leonard showed himself a
master against Tender. Dundee DEM
onstrated superb qualities as a fight
sr when he won the featherweight
championship from Eugene Criqui
by giving the Frenchman one Of the
worst beatings that a fighter ever
took in an American ring.
Dundee's punching power has al
ways been regarded lightly by the
experts. because SO few Of his vic
tories have been won by knockouts
and in comparing the two fighters
that meet tomorrow night, II might
be Judged that Leonard will have the
advantage because of q superior
kick in his lists.
Dundee did not knock out Criqui
because he thought It wise to win
by the SURE way of q decision and
not take tho risk of a wild swing
from the right hand of a desperate
opponent which would have brought
him down had It landed.
Leonard did not knock out Tend.
Ter. Some said he didn't want to
and that he carried tho Philadelphia
southpaw over several rough places.
Others said that he couldn't stop his
opponent because he lost his punch
in making the weight,
After considering all the compli.
Gated angles, It looks like a probabil.
ity that the fight will 20 the limit
with the issue SO even that a draw
might result. Certainly a victory on
points by either one would not be
a tremendous upset.
Dundee hardly can hope to knock
out Leonard. because he will have
difficulty in landing clean punches
on the champion and 1t is doubtful
II he could Keep Leonard down even
after landing a couple right on the
button.
Facing a most clever, fast and
brainy fighter as Dundee Is, Leonard
also will have difficulty In finding
vital spots on an opponent who
bounces and Jumps around the ring
like an acrobat. Dundee can 60 fif.
teen rounds just as fast, and per-
haps at n more lively clip than the
champion and he will not be so fool.
ish as to allow Leonard to dictate
the kind Of a fight he wants to make
as the lightweight champion did
against Tender.
Both ought to be in superb condi.
ton. Both are just a few weeks
out OF the greatest fights of their
careers and they should have no
trouble in getting back on edge.
There Is the only point-can Leon.
ard make tho weight. n Is he real
good at the lightweight limit7
Despite the stories that Leonard
weighed 14s pounds and Tender 140
pounds when they met. the boxing
commission said they both made the
weight.
No newspapermen were admitted
to see the boxers on the scales, but
they will be this time, and the ques.
ton of Leonard,s weight should be
settled forever.

Busy Time at
 Court House
 First of Week

Mrs. George Shakes was arrested last week for being drunk and fight ing: She plead guilty and was fined.
 After having got in trouble her self over having been drunk Mrs. Shakes filed complaint against Lawrence Case, charging him with having sold her the liquor.
 Upon being arraigned before the United States Commissioner Law renee Case plead not guilty. A jury trial was then ordered for Tuesday afternoon.
 At the trial there was plenty ot evidence to show that Mrs. Shakes and her husband had both been drunk, but the only witnesses who testified to having seen Case sell the liquor were George Shakes and his wife, who testified that they bought four pint bottles of booze from Law renee Case. The majority of the ju ry did not consider the testimony of MT. and Mrs. Shakes to be sufficient to justify them in bringing a verdict for conviction. The case resulted in a mistrial. When the jury reported that they had agreed to disagree the Commissioner found that the jury were so unequally divided in their opinion that he dismissed the case.
 This was the first case in Wran- gell to be tried under the new law whereby jury is chosen by draw ing. Six women were drawn three of whom claimed exemption on ac- count of sex. The jury was compos- ed of the following: Oscar Carlson. l. c. Bjorge, Harry Ferguson, Chas. Benjamin, Morten Hofstad, c. w.. Russell, L. M. Churchill, George Syl- vester, Mrs. George Bidwell. Mrs. Ed Lyons, Mrs. E. J. Prescott.
 Those who claimed exemption on account of sex were Mrs. LA. Olsen, Mrs. Richard Suratt, Mrs. Josephine Mason.
