New York, March 3l.-(P)-pcte
Latzo may have !; better chance of
retaining his weltcrweight champion
ship ii he refrains from attemr,iny
to knock out Joe Dundee in their title
battle at the Polo Grounds in June.
Dundee. it seems, doesn't begin
to do his best until he has hit the
1ioor. His manager, Max Waxman,
says SO, and points to the number of
battles the Baltimore Italian has won
by rallying after being knocked
down.
Occasionally, Us in the case of his
first fight with Eddie Roberts, Dun
dee is hit hard enough to stay down.
But usually Joe is able to bound
back into action and keep his pro-
truding chin well covered. The sec
ond time he fought Roberts he came
back to win after being floored for a
count of eight.
1t seems, on the whole, that the
! Knockout wallop isn't what it used
to be. Instead of bringing about
disastrous results, it has served as a
tonic and inspired comebacks for bat
tiers such as Dundee, Mike McTigue,
Tiger Flowers, Mickey Walker and
others.
McTigue's Knockout cure mt the
: hands of Jack Delaney resulted in

each, for matches with Paul Berlcn-
bach and Jack Sharkey.
Flowers was perhaps the most
knocked out boxer who ever won a
world championship. The Georgia
Deacon busted the resin in defeat

Walker, who took the title from
Flowers in Chicago, also tried the
Knockout tonic beforehand. Mickey
