The lightweight championship is dangling temptingly be- fore his eyes. And the veteran Johnny, cheeks flushed with recent vic- tory, is reaching out for it. His victory over Eugene Criqui, world featherweight} him on into new fields. Now he’s ready to meet Benny Leonard, recognized ruler of the lightweight division. They'll step into the ring at Yankee Stadium here Sep- tember 5. Johnny’s friends are skeptical. Some fear he will meet the same fate Johnny Kilbane, fallen featherweight idol did at Leonard’s hands. Others believe he has an excellent chance to dethrone Leonard. Back in 1917, Kilbane having no rivals for his crown, elected to mix jthings with the lightweight cham- pion. Johnny was knocked out in three rounds, the first time in his career. Kilbane had previously met Leon: ard before he had acquired the light- weight title and had no trouble out- boxing him. The featherweight ities ate some experts who do not look on the bout with much favor, since the pair have met so often. They don't belleve the pub: Uc will fall for it very strong. In the previous meetings, Dundee| was simply a featherweight going | out of his class, Dundes is now a champion, Bouts between cham- pions always carry a certain ap; to the public. Incidentally, Dundee always gives the publfc a run for| its money, DUNDEE HAS REAL CHAN( While Leonard showed fine form in his bout with Tendler, he seemed to Jack a finishing punch. Dundes does not appear to be courting any great danger in that respect. On the other hand, Dundee, as he gets older, appears to hava more back of his punches, Possibly it is due to the fact that Johnny has out out some of his jumping-jack tactics and is setting himself be- fore delivering his blows, There jp color to the bout be. cause it ts between two champions. The fact that Leonard in the eight meetings, despite a big advantage would be soft money—a mere waltz. FAR FROM | STRANGERS The Leonard-Dundee ‘bout is noth- ling new in the fistic world. Tho On no leas than eight occasions have they met in no-decision afafirs, But the most strenuous thing they did was count the receipts, The ninth clash between the two may be for blood. Now that Duhdes 1s a champ ho will mek, no doubt, to live up to the title, Johnny has always belleved that he could beat Leonard, ‘The coming meeting will be to a decision. It will be the big opportunity for Dundee, Should Dundeo get the decision it would make him the lightweight as well as the featherweight champion and Incideptally the greatest draw- ing card in the fight game, Dundes is certain to be well under the light. welght limit. LEONARD'S TITLE IN DANGER To get the decision or win by a knockout adds nothing to Leonard's fight record, since he will seale well over the feather limit. The bout will be one in which Leonard can full, makes many of tho exports| believe that Dundes has a chance to annex tho lightweight title in addition to his featherweight crown, LUQUE REINSTATED NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Adolfo Luque, Cincinnati pitcher, who was suspended for making an attack up. on one of the New York playors during the recent series between tho Giants and Reds, was yesterday by John A, ident of the league.

The Babe doesn’t hand out such 3 line of dope as an alibi to explain his inability to hit Pruett. Pruett's spe- cialty is striking out the Babe. The big fellow is practically helpless against “Shuck's"” slow curve and fast-breaking fadeaway. Ruth's remarks relative to Pruett go for a score of other major league pitchers, While pitchers who rely en tirely on a fast ball have no chance with the “rabbit ball” now in use, a pitcher to become a star must have @ fast ball in his assortment. Pruett has everything except a fast ball, He has two types of curves, a puzzling fadeaway and a nice change of pace. The slender youngster, how: ever, lacks a fast ball. Pruett’s best fast ball is of medium speed, just the hittable sort of delivery, Pruett boasts a fadeaway that is a8 hard to hit as was the fadeaway de livery used by Mathewson. Few left handers have over Used the fadeaway delivery, which naturally makes that style all the more effective for Pruett. But tho fast ball fs lacking, and the opposing batters know it. Conse quently when Pruett pitches, the op- Posing batters hug the plate, know. ing they have nothing to fear from the fast one. If Pruett had a good fast ball, such a practice would be dangerous, and wouldn't be in dulged in. Such © stance makes it easier to hit Pruett's vlow offerings, since the bat: ters know just what to expect. A good fast ball would serve to act as a threat for Pruett. Lack of a fast ball keeps him from becoming a star, Abe Freidman, Boston bantam.
