DUNDEE DIDN'T BOX s@
 ONCE WHILE CHAMP
Featherweight Crown He Won From Criqui Did
 Johnny No Good

the featherweight championship at Vernon, Cal, on April %, 1913, and got draw at the end of 20 rounds. That settled Dundee. He was too tough. Kilbane kept the championship for the next ten years but he always refused to let Dundee have match be- cause he wasn't sure he could beat the rope-walking little Italian fish-peddler from Helfs Kitchen, just back of Broadway, New York. Even when Kilbane came out of retirement last summer, creaky in the knees, gray and ancient to peddle the championship for a $T5,000 guarantee at the Polo grounds, he refused to consider Dundee as an opponent. With any other boy he might have a chance to retain it, which would give him q chance to auc- tion it off again. Kilbane agreed to fight Criqui, also an old. man for the ring, Criqui being at that time dodering patriach of 30 years. Criqui clipped Kilbane on the chin with wild right swing in the sixth round and the Irishman landed on the seat of his em- erald ring trunks with a bump and puff of resin dust. He started to rise, waggled his gray head as though to say whats the user' and subsided to let the title pass by a knockout,
 Criqui had been tied up with a $10,000 bond to compel him to give Dundee his long-awaited bout for the championship. He was as good as his $10,000 bond and a few weeks later dee. Johnny already had begun to decline but he whipped himself into magnificent form and for the last great battle of his career and Criqhi was slaughtered. Dundee opened the old shell wounds that Criqui had. suffered in the war and made such & tragic spectacle of Criqui that even The re- volted and began to fight under "pull" 50 that Criqui could avoid the ignominy of a knockout. That was the night of the historic outburst of disgraceful jeering directed at Criqui which the people of France remembered and re- turned with interest when the American rugby football team was playing in the Olympic tournament.
 As matters have now developed, Dun- dee might have waived the match with Criqui without any serious loss to himself for he has never defended the title or derived any money from 1t.
 Dundee has had about 800 recorded fights and probably 100 more which are not in the books. He has lost most of his battles in the last year, incidentally taking some bad thrash ings from heavier men, but the only knockout he ever suffered was the one that Willie Jackson slipped over on him in 1917. Jackson was then youngster ana Dundee had agreed to "carry him along" Johnny was care less. Jackson clouted him and knocked him cold. Willie was never able to re- peat. though they fought many times after that. -'

pedia Is Now In Existence
 Efforts to reprint the, Chinese ency- clopedia are reported to be progressing in Peking. In the latter part of the eighteenth century Chin Lung had his scholars collect all available Chinese records and write them into history, known as the "Ssu Ku Chuan Shu" be- cause four sets were deposited in the four imperial palaces for safety, this great work filled 1es, 1000 volumes, writ ten. by hand and bound in silk.
 Through the fates of wars, but one set remains intact, although seven copies were originally made. This one is in the Wen Yuan Kao" of the For bidden City. Of the other sets, one was destroyed by the allied troops at the old summer palace of Yuan Muan, q second and third went to the palaces at Jehol and Mukden, where they have disappeared ahrough some unknown source. Others went to Golden Island in Chekiang, one to YenchOw on the Grand Canal and the third to Hang chow. The two former were destroyed during the Taiping rebellion while the latter was partially ruined.
 The present desire to publish this in valuable work is not the first attempt since the introduction was reproduced during the administration of Hsu Shin chang and copies presented to Tokia, the Congressional library in Washing ton, the British Museum and to several of the largest American universities.

WOMEN FLOCK {. TO B. A. (. BOUTS
New Seats Being Erected To Care For
 Crowds

''The fair fans of Birmingham are Hooking to our boxing shows in pret- ty big numbers now" said Herbert Cobbs, presiedht of the club, land I'm really glad to see that they are taking such an interest in the cards we are staging. Ladies are always welcome to B. A. c. attractions and we are planning to entertain a large number of them at the Johnny McGinty- Young Jack Dillon bout next Monday night.
 "Of course. our attractions of late have been such drawing cards that we were camped for room some times, but just as soon as we get into our new building with nice big auditorium, we will be able to cater to as many fans as care to come to our semi-month- ly attractions. A man with wife or sweetheart who is interested in boxing 5Or wrestling need have DO fear of bringing her to the B. A. c. shows, as they are conducted on a high plane, with nothing said or done to offend, and not even the tobacco smoke so of- lending at some boxing bouts, for the fire law does not allow smoking at the B, A. c. gym"
 Workmen were going ahead at the club Wednesday erecting new seats to take care of the huge crowd that is expected to attend Monday nights show Johnny McGinty will stage his homecoming. He has been working in New York with Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, Genere Tunney, the lightweight| champion, Young Stribling and Eugene Criqui for two months now. His local friends believe that he has learned enough in this length of time to stop Dillon.
 If he is successful in stopping Dill lon he,,will have accomplished more than Red Herring was able to do in two trials, or more than Jimmy Finley was able to do in one trial. Yet, his friends in Birmingham are banking on him to plaster the Indian sign on Young Jack Dillon next Monday night. The affair'is booked over the ten-round route with an indefinite stop-over if q haymaker happens to land on a jaw be- fore that time.

 This is a very open question and many people will, of course, have different ideas. Some will say the drive, some the approach, and others the putt. Personally, don't see why one should be more inn portant than the other. think that every shot is the most important. To get any where nowadays a golfer must be good at all shots. It would not be of much use to be- good driver is you couldn't play an iron or an approach shot. What would you benefit by If, after playing beatutiful irons and approach shots, you were not to hole putt?
