FIELDS TAKES
WELTER TITLE
WHEN FOULED

DETROIT, Micn., July %. CLIP
On the head of Jackie Fields, pro-
duet of Chicago's IS ghetto, the world S
welterweight crown rested today.
Jackie won undisputed claim to
the title last night when he was
fouled by two low punches in the
second round of his title fight with
Joe Dundee, Baltimore Italian, who
has been dodging the foremost
thallengers of his division with
such consistency that he already had
been deprived of his title by the
National Boxing Association
Jackie started after Dundee in the
initial round and was ahead on
points when the bell sounded. He
opened the second round by flooring
Dundee. for count of six. Joe
came in gamely to take another solid
smash on the jaw and went down
for the count of seven. From that
point on he was as good as beaten.
AS Joe came up, he staggered
against the ropes and then lunged
toward Fields, both arms swinging
wildly. The first, a right, landed in
the groin and Jackie fell back in
pain amid the crowd s boos. The
second, a left, also landed low and
Jackie fell prOstrate to the floor.
Champion Popular
When it was obvious he was too
badly hurt to continue, Fields hand
was raised as winner-as newly
crowned welterweight champion of
the world and the fans howled in
delight.
Fields victory was popular gen
orally. 1t was only when Fields
agreed to enter the Detroit ring on
the short end of the purse and take
his chances to lose all his claims or
become undisputed champion, that
Dundee finally was induced to de-
fend his title.
The new champion had been the
favorite in the betting. Odds ranged
from to ) to to l.
Jaekie's victory last night was
convincing. lie was master of the
fight from the outset and had whip
ped Dundee badly before the low
blows landed.
The fight, second of the three
championship fights of the summer
season. drew crowd of approx
imately $1,000 and gate receipts OF
about $4,000. The show was put
on by Floyd Fitzsimmons and was
tho first nuder Michipan : new state
