But time takes its toll. and now,
for some unaccountable reason,
many ring sharps are predicting
that Dundee will not go the limit
with Moran.
Johnny laughs at these solemn
prophecies. He has fought Moran
three times i'm the last five
years, and refuses to believe that
he has baclxsIid or Moran has
improved so much that Pal can
stop him. Johnny was at the
ringside when Moran defeated
Charley White recently, and then
and there he demanded that
Jimmy Johnston, his manager,
get Moran for him.
Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager.
is among those who ike Moran's
chance to land the big number with
Leonard.
Moran is no mug" said Will
lam the day the Dundee-Moran
match was announced. II think
Dundee is making a mistake. He
will have to be awfully good to
stick fifteen rounds with Pal.
Moran is fighting better now than
ever, and he has been in the ring
several years. l don't believe Dun
dee can bother him much, and
Pal certainly showed he had
sock in his fight with White.
Leonard found a big improve
ment in Moran the second time he
fought him. They first met in
Chicago and Benny won eaily.
They fought again at New Orleans,
in 1922, and that time Pal gave
Benny plenty of trouble. He has
learned a lot since, is a better ring
general and hits harder. If Dun
dee can beat him this time then
Johnny will get Leonard and, at
that, we would rather see him win,
because Benny figures him easier
than Moran"
Moran is a legitimate light
weight. He weighed 1874 pounds
for White, and will have no
trouble making 1876 pounds next
Friday night for Dundee. The
weight will not bother Dundee,
who is accustomed to sporting
his opponents many pounds.
Johnny sheds flesh rapidly when
he gets down to hard training:
After he WON Tic lcdUhACt WCASHU
title from Criqui he took on
twenty pounds within a week.
He made 100 pounds fol: Jack
Bernstein last month and then
went up to $50. After a few
days of training last week he was
down to 1856.
Dundee is usually at his best at
low weight. Possibly that is be-
cause he then faces smaller men
than he is accustomed to fighting,
and seems to hit harder. He wasn't
fast against Bernstein and he may
not retain his speed at 1876 pounds.
He will need it, too as Moran is a
persistent aggressor.
For the last two years the sport
ing world has awaited the Dundee
crash, but Johnny continues to
fool 'em. The theory that boxer
could not put on and take off flesh
as a man puts on and sheds a
heavy overcoat was shattered when
Harry Greb scaled down to 159
pounds for Johnny Wilson last
week and put up one of the best
fights of his career. Dundee seems
to be able to melt off many pounds
without burning up much of his
wonderful staining.

For years Dundee has been meet
ing all Corners and while he has
not always won he has been re-
garded as practically immune from
a knockout. Nobody has ever been
able to duplicate Willie Jackson's
feat OF putting him down for the
long count.

Outings

local troops Of Boys Scouts last
summer there has been a con-
siderable increase in the NUM-
bcr Of BOYS coming into the
organization making about Us
in all, according to Scout
Commissioner Scattcrgood OF
this district; and boys are
coming into the organization,
So fast that serious conSidcra-
ton must now be given the
question Of finances and OF
training.
The majority of the boys have
passed their First Class test and
one troop has obtained the privi-
lcgp Of Merit badges in music. BIZ
cycling, electricity, scOutcraft. cabi-
net making, etc, according to Com.
missioner Scattcrgood. At present
hc IL developing a troop Of Sea
Scouts IN which boys IL years and
over are eligible. these boys are
proving their efficiency In handling
loatS. Mr.. ScGttrrgOOd expects To
make application la the Navy De-
parimeni nj an early date for u
Long Boat the type that Is used by
the Navy. These boats will carry
u patrol of eight boys.
Al present tho local scouts are
lacking in leadership aud more
ScOutmaStcrS are needed to supply
the demand for the new troops
which are being organized. At
present they have only three Scout
mnSt"rs. city Manager John Bray,
e. &. Blades AMI Miles Clark. More
are needed to handle such n large
number of boys.
The program for the coming sum-
mcr as planned will consist largely
If cruises on the sounds and rivers,
camping at ArncuS" Creek where
the boys have an established camp,
and trips tr Mugs Head. Mr.. Srat-
tcrgood Is also planning an extend
cd cruise 10 Philadelphia, thru the
Inland Waterway.
This trip If taken will consist of
picked scouts, that Is those who
have demonstrated their fitness and
hardihO0d for such Il trip. The
launch SCattrrgOOd Is the only
power boat the scouts have at pres.
cni. but Andrew Sanders of the
Elizabeth city Iron Works informs
the Scout commissioner that his
boat will bc nt the disposal of the
troop any timr they need I'M extra
boat to take care of the scouts.
Much interest il hcing shown In
scouts and ScclltwOrk since the local
organization was effected, and mahy
of tho leading men Of the town arc
taking mulch interest In the work.
II was thru Rev. +. e. Scattcrgood,
Scout Commissioner that the local
troops were started.
IL am doing this work for the
love of the boys" says Mr.. Seat
tCrgood. which must he true. for
he gets no reimbursement for his
work as Commissioner for this dis.
trict. although some scout commits
siOners are drawing very good
salaries.
Mr.. ScattcrGood has been con-
