VETERAN OF 300 BATTLES EASILY BEATS GENE CRIQUI “ohnny Wins Honors in 15-Round Decision Bout, But Glory Goes to Vanquished Frenchman, Who Proves Gameness, Though Outclassed. el the Associated Press N battles, today EW YORK, July 27.—Johnny Dundee, veteran or more than 300 ring holds the throne toward which he has fought for thirteen years—the featherweight championship of the world—as 1 result of his spectacularly decisive victory last night over Eugene “riqui, French holder of the title, in fifteen rounds at the Polo Grounds. But while the honors of that triumph rest with the little Italian- | American, the glory of battle went to the vanquished—the slender ex- »oilu, hero of Verdun, who went down to defeat fighting to the last 1gainst a relentless foe. Criqui lost his title in the same arena where he had lifted it from Johnny Kilbane less than two months ago by kno: ing out the veteran m the sixth round. He was outclassed from start to finish. Criqui was a beaten boxer from the ‘ime Dundee dropped him for a count ' nine in the first round. He was ‘n the verge of a knockout in the 1ccond round, when Dundee's right 100ks floored him twice for long ~ounts. He was tottering in the sev- ith and eighth rounds, reeling and loody in the twelfth, and against the ropes, barely able to hang on. in the irteenth. But he kept trying to fight back, swinging and stabbing at his fleeting, bounding target. Rival's Grit Pusrles Dundee. Dundee seemed puzzled by the stamina and grit of his rival. He orted to every device in his varied :pertoire to bring the Frenchman lown. He bounded from the ropes n characteristic fashion, leaped in with both fists swinging, but Criqui’s | aw—remodeled with sheep bone here it was shattered at Verdun— cemed made of iron. It withstood | the hardest of Dundee’s punches. His| blows floored Criqui, but they could not keep him down, and after the second round the Frenchman was never off his fect. Criqui will sail back to France next Monday without the laurels which he hoped to take to his native country. New Champion Picturesque. The new champion is one of the most picturesque of ring figures. He has possessed an unusual ability to make varied weights, battling, as a result, featherweights, lightweights and welterweights, without discrimi- nation. But the world's 126-pound crown is the most important title he has ever held. Dundee also held the Junior lightweight, or 130-pound, title, but lost that recently to Jack Bern: stein of Yonkers, N. ¥ Dundee is thirty years old. and lives in Orange, N. J. He was born in Italy and_his real name is Joseph Carrora. He has had more than 300 bouts since 1911 married FIGHT BY ROUNDS Round One. They met in the conter of the ring and clinched immediately.

A potential Olympic champion fo the United States, that's what ex perts predict for Frank Hussey, sen- sational ~ Stuyvesant High School sprinter, who " was credited recently with_equaling the world record of 9 3-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash, a mark held jointly by Charles Pad. dock, Howard P. Drew and D. J. Kelly. | . Whether or not Hussey's mark goes {down in official records along ‘with those of Paddock, Drew and Kelly, it stands out as one of the greatest track performances of the season. The schoolboy marvel's performance occurred in the public schools’ track and field championships, and was sub- jected to the closest officlal scrutiny. Three A. A. U. timers caught him in 9 3-5 and a fourth even a trifle faster, close to 9 5-10. All testified that his start was perfect, but it was thought a slight wind that blew dlagonally across the track might influence of- ficlal decision on Hussey's .achleve- ment. Hussey has sprinted the “century” consistently around the 10-second mark. He was credited with two per- formances of 10 1-5 seconds indoors last winter, and in his first outdoor appearance was clocked in 9 9-10. He equaled this mark twice in later meets and broke the tape in 10 flat and 10_1-5 in two other races, - Besides the young New Yorker, sev- eral other schoolboy stars in various parts of the country have demonstrated that they may be Olymplo timber by next year. Eugene Goodwillle of Chicago, na- tlonal interscholastlo sprint champlon, covered the 100 in 9 4-5 and the 220 in 21 2-5, the latter a new American inter- scholastic record, at the title meet in Chicago. Other schoolboy stars whose per- formances have stood out this spring include Hamm of Lonoke, Ark., who set a new interscholastic broad jump ark of 23 feet 83% inches; Kuck of Wilson, Kas, & g‘romishl all-around fleld performer who has been tossing the i8-pound shot well over 40 feet, and ~Paulsen of Hill School, who equaled interscholastic records in both the 120-high and 220-low hurdles.
