 New York. March 21.-(UP)- If Bob Goodwin, who fights Maxie. Rosenbloom this week. was at
 Madison Square Garden for the Jeby Dundee bout Friday night, he
 must have left the place very dis couraged young man and wonder Ing wottinell he would have to do to Maxie to lift the light-heavy-
 weight title.
 Offhand. we'd say that Bob will
 have to shoot Rosenbloom. shoot
 him twice if Judge Eddie Farrell
 and Referee Eddie Forbes work
 the fight. At last Fridays enter
 tainment it was Farrell who voted for Jeby and Forbes who saw the
 thing as a draw. How they reach ed their conclusions never will be
 known. If Jeby won that fight. as
 Farrell said he did, then Custer took every round with the Indians. Despite the fact that we looked
 at the bout with somewhat biased eyes (we picked Jeby to win in a walk. you will remember) we
 couldn't see anybody but Dundee.
 He fought like a champion, the challenger like ham donnie from small. cheap club. He popped Jeby so hard and so often that the
 champion pulled up at the end of the 18th looking like something from the butchers. His lips were split, his nose was bleeding. his left eye was good as closed and his entire face red and swollen. Dundee,
 save for a little nick over his, left eye, was untouched. Yet when Joe Humphries collected the slips, +;
 rell had given Jeby nine of fifteen rounds and Forbes a dr. V. We. meaning all of us who were
 there. can be thankful that Charle Lynch. the other judge, voted for Dundee. For had he not, and Jeby been declared the winner, there would have been sweet and ele-
 gant riot. with the boys who had wagered on Dundee, leading the att
 tack. One of these days, unless
 1t improves its officials, the Garden is going to be the scene of a great and mighty trouble, with many
 noggins cracked and scores of
 other important items knocked slaunch-wise. as they say in Texas. From boxing's point of view it was a shame that the unfair de-
 cision had to come at this time.
 For the game. after a long spell in the doldrums. was beginning to show signs of coming to life. First signs of this awakening were fur l nished when more than 12,000
 customers paid their way to see Rosenbloom. never a great draw ing card, engage the comparative ly unknown Adolph Heuser two weeks ago. Further proof was off, fered when 14.000 more patrons paid to see Jeby and Dundee. And the Rosenb1oom bout was square
 ly in the middle of the moratorium
 when ready money wasn't.
 Of course. there is the chance.
 boxing fans being the gluttons for punishment they are. that the rank
 decision of last week will only
 make for bigger and better houses.
 It has long been argued by many
 astute students of the manly sport
 that boxing fan Is a boxing fan
 solely because he loves to suuavk. And that if he isn't furnished with
 something to squawk about he will forsake the sport for one where the tsquawking is good.
 What fig your opinion in this matter? Sit down right now and write us, We win forward all re- piles to, John N. Garner. who will probably throw them ont the window.
