BEATEN BY FIELDS
Baltimore Boy Gives Welter
Champion Furious Battle.

Jackie Fields at the, Coliseum I'm
Chicago showed the Dundee family of
Baltimore why he is the worlds well
terweight champion. In his first start
as title holder Fields whipped Vim
cent Dundee. brother of the man from
whom he won the title, in the ten
round windup of the show that
marked Jack Dempsey's debut as a
promoter. The title was not at stake.
There We're wide open spaces at
either end of the remodeled Coliseum
as the fighters entered the ring and
as financial success Dempsey's in
augural effort was hardly knock
out. The paid attendance was 1850,
and the gross receipts $3l,574. This
was nearly $4,000 less than had been
expected
The windup was a furiously fought
battle and many at the ringside
thought Dundee was entitled to a
draw. Cleaner punching and knock
down in the sixth round were the
factors that counted for Fields.

established in 1911, was eclipsed re-
Gently by Cyril Ellis, British half mile
champion. He covered the distance in

themselves out emotionally, with the
