while Maury Nee, the Columbia

only handicap of one stroke. Those

ming at Forbes Field, Pittsburgh. This
time there is more at stake than a
mere victory for the record books
Should Yarosz triumph over his
Italian rival, he will be recognized as
the middleweight champion of the
world.
Marcel Thil of France also claims
this distinction, but he refuses all
offers to come to this country and fight
American challengers.
1t was not an easy matter to bring
Yarosz and Dundee together. The
latter had lodged the bout since he
won the title from Lou Brouillard last
October. A $4,000 fat guarantee
finally turned the trick
Dundee reached the heights at a
time when his best fighting days were
behind him. Several weeks ago he
took part in tune-up match against
the practically unknown Tony Brescia
The champions efforts were sloppy
and agoniZing to watch.
Yarosz, on the other hand, has been
fighting tough opponents regularly and
showing improved form in each start.
Ted reached the peak of his form when
he battered out l5-round victory over
the punching Jimmy Smith.
Smith had beaten both Brouillard and
Young Terry before meeting Yarosz.
If Dundee has good fight left in his
system, tonight will have to bring it
out. Yarosz is right and only Hercu-
lean effort on the part of the cham
pion will stave of defeat.
