As bosom friend of John I. Sullivan nd as manager of Matty Matthews, he former welter-weight champion, | nd other fighters, Johnny Dunn was familiar figure at all of the import- nt ring battles in the '80s and the Jorton law days that followed. For hirty years John's strong, penetrating 'bice and oratorical abilities were uch sought as announcer and master bt ceremonies. It has been his duty o introduce, sometime or other and n some instances many times, every ing champion for the last quarter entury. 3 His services were almost in as great emand outside the ring as in it. He pfficiated as announcer at the race- rack, wrestling matches, athletic neets, Vanderbilt Cup contests and bther automobile rac and more re- ntly at aviation events. Boxing was his great love, however, and it is rough his connection with the ring hat he best was known. Pal of John L’s. The late John Lawrence Sullivan perhaps never had a more ardent ad- irer than Dunn. Johnny thought so juuch of John L. that he named his first born after him, John Lawrence [Dunn. One of the crowning mo- ents of Dunn's life, Johnny fre- uently said, was when he helped kponsor and acted as master of cere- | monies at the remarkable reception given John L. in Madison Square Gar- den a few days after his defeat ‘orbett at New Orleans. | Dunn was born in the old Seventh ' Ward, Manhattan, and among his beyhood cronies were Gov.

Charley Harvey's Collection of Prize Battlers. Manager Joe wvey's lieutenant, has boys under his wing and anxious to match them against the best that can be secured for a bout in this city. /Of the number Paddy Burns, a likely 133-pounder, is one of the boys who is fast coming to the front as a cham- plonship possibility. He was with the A. E. F. in France, and after the armistice was signed, he fought a number of boys on the other side. He has faced Young Fulton,whom he k.o'd in six rounds; beat Harry Condon, draw, Frankie Callahan; decision over Tommy Touhey; draw, Pete Hartley; decision over Thom O'Brien; draw with “Fighting Joe” Hyland; no de- ecision bouts with Johnny Clinton.

The lineup of the All-American team of 1919 presents the most pow- erful versatile aggregation of : been on the gridiron for a long time. It is practically all veteran material educated in the modern game. There is no man on it who has not developed to the full the possibilities of his position. We have in the ends. Higgins of Penn State, and H. Miller of Penn- sylvania, a pair of players of remark- able speed in getting down the field and covering k both of them strong in breaking up and sifting through interference, and each an adept on receiving forward passes. In the two tackles, West of Col- gate, and Henry of Washington and Jefferson, we have men who ve practically dominated this position for two or three years, and in one— West—a long distance punter of both a dry and wet ball, as well as a field goal kicker from placement. The two guards, Alexander racuse, and Youngstrom of mouth, arc the greatest pair of de- fensive guards that have ever heen scen on the gridiron, Alexander par- ticularly against running plays, and Youngstrom the terror of the oppon- ents when kicker from placement. Woeaver the best-built men for that has ecver played in the middle of the line. He is lighter in actual pounds than the usual type of center, but that weight is so placed that as pivot man he can play either in the line or as roving center. McMillin of Center, terback berth for his all-around utili- ty, speed and hard-hitting aggres- siveness. And the trio behind him be the envy of any tesm—Casey of Harvard, Harley of Ohio State, and Rodgers of West Virginia. Casey tied the Princeton game, er and faster when practically beaten. Harley of Ohio State, is a ftting mate for him and a star drop kicker He is also one of the hardest men in the country to stop when once started on a run. We complete the trio with Rodgers of West Virginia, hitting backfield man who more adept at throwing than any man who has season, Mr. Camp's selections of the first, second and third elevens, are as fol- lows: and rs that ss, of Sy Dart- his team is the played even pass this tirst Kl End-—Higgins, Pa.
