Dundee's last appearance here was against the veteran English Loxer, Matt Wells whom he easily de- feated on points. Dundee is responsible for Jackson's entry into the select circle of hoxers. it was just a year ago this month when Jackson, practically an un- | known at the time, shook the boxing world by putting Dundee down for tke fatal ten seconds in a Philadel- | phia bout. The bout was scheduled to go six rounds, but Jackson, gifted with a hefty punch, accomplished his | purpose in a single round. The punch | not only made Jackson famous, but placed him in a position to demand me of the big money now being iragged down by the leading stars. Dundee and Jackson got together scme months afterwards and the for- | mer was honored with the popular decision on points. Dundee has since been trying to get Jackson into the {1ing over the longer route, with the result that the local match was con- summated.
