boxing lesson, showed hat he is un-
versed in the art Of pulling his
punches and making them appear
real. A crowd of approximately
/ 10000 began calling for a clout in
the fourth round. While Dundee. es-
saving n comeback after a years lay
off, was wildly cheered as he enter
ed the ring as he was roundly booed
az the final gong. Many Of the spec
tators left the garden at the end Of
the seventh round.
