HAS
CHANCE WITH
DUNDEE
Gillian Going Up Against Man
Who Has K. Q. Coming
to Him

NEW YORK. May %. - Luis
Vicentini, Of Chile. has a fine
chance to jump right into the lime
light tonight at the veldrorne when
he enters the ring with Johnny
Dundee. He has just this chance,
In a long career Of over twelve
years Dundee has been knocked
out but once.
Willie Jackson. now done with
the ring for good. turned the trick
in Philadelphia. He caught Johnny
He was the only man who ever
stopped Dundee. and all down the
line Of hitters Dundee has come
away without suffering another
knockout.
He whipped jackson several
times after that knockout, showing
that II could be classed among the
great flukes Of the ring. It was q
fluke to this extent. Dundee. q
great man even at that early day
held the practically unknown Jack
son too cheaply. re was just q
bit careless against a fellow who
was a natural riyhthand hitter.
Dundee never made the mistake
again. He now comes to Vicentini
one Of the. hardest hitters in the
division. Unschooled and y BIZ
green yet, this Gillian is a born
puncher. He has many things e
learn about the art Of shortening
that punch and when he does he
will be one Of the deadliest thumperI
Of them all, not forgetting Leonard
10 rated as high as Cans in that
respect. We never thought so. but
the wise ones will have 1t so.
Vicentini believes too much in the
theory that a haymaker will make
the golden sun shine for him. Thai
isn't true. He has got to learn t.
hit short, to step in and deliver
his punch. He wings away from q
distance and that is not the dealliest
delivery for the simple reason that
no matter how hard the punch Il
and how swiftly It travels, the
other fellows eye and instinct tell
him that a right il coming. Mature
gives him the opportunity to &c
with the punch, to break its force
no matter how sure the shot 10
The eye IL quicker than motion and
a long shot to the Jaw is always
"telegraphed."
Cons learned all that and per
fected his punch by shortening 1t ir
order that the eye would not bt
enabled to sense its coming. Da
Hawkins, the hardest hitter for his
weight that ever lived, hit a mar
with his left by holding 1t fouI
inches up above a mans right ear
When ne hooked" man to doom
he simply twisted the fist downward
and to the jaw bone over tn,
shortest possible route, and with {
stiffened left arm. The brain wal
shocked, surprised in fact, withou
the eye ever having a chance t
warn that brain that a punch wal
coming. Hawkins weighed but 70;
pounds. ,.....
The duel between Dundee ant
Vicentini will be pretty to watch
Dundee will be in there, keepinI
his chin out of range. It is al
ways interesting to see clever mar
foiling thumper.

Clearing House Is Aid
to Public Links
Golfers

There are so many daily fee
golf courses in the Chicago Sec
ton that a clearing house has
been organized to take care of
the players; a sort of central
agency similar to a theatrical
circuit to arrange playing ia
cilities for golfers who crowd
the links faster than they can
be built.
Instead of telephoning to
the dozen pro rata courses or
from one to the other for a
chance for a round, the golfer
merely communicates with the
central office downtown and
reserves a ticket for the course
most available at the hour he
desires to start. Every fee
course in that section has been
successful. The course have
not amalgamated, excepting for
booking purposes.

Plaids Playing Part
in Fashions of Today

Until recently plaids were relegated
to the wardrobe of the juvenile mem
bers of society, but this season has
witnessed a change Of heart toward
these decorative designs and in the
sheerest stuffs, as well as in the more
usual wooden and cotton plaids, they
play an important part in the fashions
of the day.
One French designer is responsible
for several extremely pretty models
fashioned of plaid chiffon, while an
other makes stunning coat dress Of
plaid taffeta in shades Of red, brown,
green and yellow Nothing could be
smarter or more striking than a three
piece costume of blue twill in which
the gay plaid lining matches the
straight beltless tunic that reaches al
most to the hem Of the skirt.
Another clever way Of using plaids
is In the form Of an evening cape
made of plaid taffeta III pastel colors.
This is cut on circular lines and is
trimmed with a deep fiounce Of black
chantilly lace. 1t is worn over frock
Of pale blue taffeta.
