DUNDEE
BETTER THAN
'V|CENT|N|
Many Dissent From Decision
Rendered in Behalf of
Scotch-Wop

NEW YORK, June 3.--Dissenting
opinions were expressed in some
quarters today by fight fans who
witnessed the 12-round bout between
Johnny Dundee and Luis Vicentini,
of Chile, last night. Many of them
disagreed with the decision declar-
ing Dundee the winner.
Dundee appeared to have lost
some Of his old speed. In the last
round the Chilean had the champion
dizzy with hard left and right jolts
to the head.
Dundee clearly outboxed Vicentini
and made him look foolish at times
by the way he evaded the Chilean's
long drives with his right, but when
1t came to a question Of punish.
ment, the bout was all In favor OF
the South American. He gave Dun
dee hard beating about the body,
cut his ear and almost closed one
eye. Half a dozen times in the bat
tie he made Dundee clinch or run
away to avoid punishment.
Dundee had the better of the first
four rounds by a fair margin, but
when he began to mix with Luis he
began to get a beating. So sOri-
Gus was his condition at the close
Of the fifth round that Jimmy
Johnston. who has been handling
his affairs lately, rushed frantically
to Dundee's corner and told John
to make him lead. Make him
open up. Stay away and box him, -
was his advice.
Dundee did box and did better
after that, but throughout the ninth,
tenth and eleventh rounds took a
hard body beating. Just before the
bell in the last round. Vincentini
landed a right and left to. the chin
that had Dundee back on his heels.
Dundee isn't as fast as he was, or
else didn't try to exert himself. He
evaded Vincentini at long range, but

THIRD COURSE
FOR PARK
GOLFERS
New Course Started Near
East Potomac Park
Links

With the East Potomac Park
literally swamped by devotees of
the ancient game Of golf, hard
pressed attendants are breathing
easier with the beginning this week
Of an additional nine-hole course
there. Completion Of the course
will give the East Potomac site
twenty-seven holes for the fans to
carouse about in.
The new course is slightly to the
southwest Of the No. course. 1t
will run west along the south boun-
dairy OF the Speedway, up into the
ground once used for the war gar.
dens. It will be a course of the
same caliber as the two already
existing there.
The course is expected to relieve
much Of the rush on the other two.
Players wishing to shoot eighteen
holes frequently have to wait two
hours or more to get in their second
nine holes.

COOMBS AND COAKLEY
COME BACK FOR OLYMPICS

NEW YORK, June 3. - Jack
Coombs and Andy Coakley, former
major league pitching aces, brought
lack memories of bygone greatness
when they opposed each other for
three innings in game between Co.
lumbia University and the New York
Athletic Club for the benefit of the
Olympic fund.
Coakley had a little the better of
the duel, allowing only three hits
and one run while in the box for
Columbia, where he is now diamond
coach. Coombs was touched for five
safe blows and three runs. The
final score was GA in favor Of the
college nine.
Both veterans starred in National
and American League ranks, Coombs
doing his greatest work when a
member of Connie Mack's old world g
champion Athletics. Coakley was a
member of the Athletics in 1905,
when Coombs first joined the team.

CENTRAL STARS
FAIL SCHOOL
IN MEET
Gordon and Chaconas Gould
Have Won Points Neces-
sary For Victory
BY r. d. THOMAS.

For the first time in eleven years
Central High is without the track
and field championship of Washing
ton high schools.
1t is Techs.
1t would seem that this fact
should make Mike Gordon and Gus
Chaconas, star Central athletes, feel
trifle foolish, not to say con-
science-stricken, If they were in
health and otherwise able to be
present when the annual inter
scholastic track and field champion
ships were held in Central sta.
dunn.
Anyway. their absence appears to
have been a vital factor in the
defeat of Central by its warmest
rival. Tech won the meet by a
point total Of ASH to 80 for Cen
trail.
Gordon and Chaconas, with posi-.
bly, the shadow Of a doubt (for
instance, one might have wrenched
an arm, the other broken or dam.
aged leg), would have added ten
points to Central's total and effected
triumph instead of humiliation
that must rankle in the hearts oi
all true CentraIites.
Gordon was accounted a certain
winner Of the javelin throw and
Chaconas could have won the mile
with ease, as 1t turned out. But
neither was there and, why they
were not Is a matter of considerable
comment, not complimentary to the
young athletes.
1t has been intimated in some
sources that full responsibility for
what appears to be marked disloy-
atty in Gordon and Chaconas does
not rest with them. Just before the
big meet, there was rather interest
ing talk Of Central withdrawing en-.
tirely.
1t is understood that the date of
the meet was shifted in such man.
ner as to bring about a conflict in
Central's track schedule. Many of
the Central athletes competed the
day before in Baltimore, AMI taking
part in two track meets on two
successive days is not conducive to
victory in the second meet in the
case Of some athletes.
But, 1t is argued, II the high
school authorities saw fit to stage
the big meet on day that was not
exactly suited to Central's schedule,
1t would seem to have been the
proper thing for Central to cancel
the least important of it's engage
ments, which in this case was in
Baltimore.
None of which excuses Gordon
and Chaconaas for failing to show
up when most needed by the school
to which they owe their allegiance,
according to one way Of thinking.

OF coures, no pennants are de-
cided in June, or July, either, for
that matter. But the Red Sox
have surprised the wisest heads
in baseball already. Few thought
them worthy of a ranking higher
than seventh, but that was in
March. Today many believe them
sure of finishing among the first
four.
1t is not unusual for a veteran
aggregation, such as are the Red
Sox, to get away to a flying
start and make the pace for many,
many weeks. Jimmy McAleer
had just such a team in St. Louis
in 1908. Excellent pitching by
veterans, backed by brainy infield
play and stellar smuggling by a
couple of outfielders, kept the
Browns in front until Labor Day.
Over the final five weeks of
the campaign, though, when the
younger rivals could call upon
reserve strength, the Browns
lacked the ability to answer the
whip and spur. They finished
fourth, dropping rapidly in the
last two weeks.
1t is we'll to recall the st. Louis
Browns Of 1908 before going into
Mysteries over the Boston Red
Sox of 1924. They are playing
great ball now. They may con-
tinue to hold their own all sum-
mer long-and we sincerely hope
they debut the Sox lack the real
strength possessed by the YAM
KEGS, Browns, Indians or Tigers.
They will do we'll enough to finish
in the first division.
But, no mistake, the Red Sox
are the big "wow" right now.

PLAYERS IN

Both Rock Creek and East Po-

Concluded This Week
By ROSS L. CONKLIN.

Tempus being engaged in its GUS

ing OF the championship Of Rock
Creek and East Potomac Park to
mooch along in quicker time than
has been their wont, IL they would
finish their tournaments in suffi-
Gent time to prepare for the Big
Chance at Dayton.
Leniency of officials handling the
Rock Creek tournament has caused
that affair to daily along with lit
tie or nothing accomplished. Part
OF the delays in this tournament
are due to the unwillingness Of Of
ficials to make 1t necessary for the
players to take off time from their
offices.
Rock Creeks championship round
got under way last night, and il
Is so arranged that 1t must be com
pleted by Saturday night. Pairings
have been announced and all thai
remains to be done is the trifling
business Of playing golf.
After some arduouS arithmetic on
the part Of the East Potomac Park
managers the lists for that tourna
ment have been officially completed
The well-known blanket finish
marked many Of the cards in the
preliminaries. AS many az six were
tied at various scores, and after
taking into consideration the time
that would be entailed in playing
off these contests, 1t was decided
to draw for the positions. That
was a felicitous decision, saving
much time and no little anxiety

This writer is fond of Tommy

the memory of Saturdays fray still

Matter Of Opinion.
PATRIOTISM is largely a mat
ter of opinion. When Miss
Molla Bjursdett was a win
ming tennis player, she was the
American tennis star" When
Mrs. Mallory-the same lady-was
being whipped in England and in
New York, she suddenly became
"the Morse woman"
When Danny Frush was
knocked out by Johnny Kilbane
in Cleveland, he was "the English
+ e a t erweight." When he
knocked out Eugene Criqui, he
suddenly has become "the Ameri-
can featherweight."
A sense of humor is a saving
grace for any of US. We merely
grin at this. It's not worth worry
about.
But won't somebody please
rise up and explain how it is
that winners are Americans
while winning and something else
again when they bump into de-
feat?
So far as known, Danny Frush,
born in London, has never be-
come an American citizen, though
he lived in Baltimore quite a
while and boxed there under the
management of a Baltimorean.
Later he moved to Cleveland,
leaving after his defeat by Kill
bane.
Johnny Dundee knocked him
out in nine rounds in Brooklyn
and Frush went home to Egg
land, where he has remained ever
since, boxing frequently and with
success.
But the Joke of 1t is he went
away an Englishman and is COM
ing back an American. That's to
laugh, Horatio!
