Dundee Badly, but After That He Slows Up and Allows Johnny to Pile Up Points—Big Crowd Sees Contest, Which Was Thrilling and Tiresome at Intervals. Net oe al By Vincent Treanor. OHNNY DUNDEE and Willie Jackson went fifteen rounds at Madison wy Square Garden again last night. Jackson got the decision by agree- ment of the judges, It was the regular Dundee-Jackson affair, fast and thrilling at times and at other intervals tiresome from its very sameness, But as one reguiar asked after it was all over: “What are you going to do about it?” Jackson fought viciously for the first seven rounds. He landed what looked like “killing rights” on Dundee, but the little gamester weathered everything that came his way. He bobbed up and down, bounced off the ropes, swung punches from every old angle, particularly when he was “stung,” Pane held when the holding was good. He earned about three of the rounds, ir three were about even, and Jackson took the rest, times It seemed that all Jack~ had to do to wind up the evening - to slug Johnny into submission.

HHNNY DUNDEE was tho first of the star boutists in the ring. He was greeted with cheers, Jackson came in to the accompani- ment of mingled cheers and hovts, Denny Sullivan was the referee. The weights, as announced by Joe Humphries, .were: Dundee, 130%; Jackson, 133%. When it was an- nounced that the winner was to meet Benny Leonard the crowd booed and booed, as if the very thought of such a match was the bunk. Jackson started immediately by driving both handg savagely to the body. ad around Dundee and stuck in a light left to Willie's face.

No less than seven other meets are on the cards, all headliners, and the leading runners and field stars will compete in each meet. The Samaciar A.

Jackson had Jost all his viciousness, and, using the old mugging staff with his left, he came out of his shell for a few sec- onds and there was a merry mix-up. After this Johnny put two corking fis to Jackson's face, and Willie started pummelling Johnny around the head harmlessly, Willie then missed three rapid fire lefts for John- ny's face as he rushed him to the ropes. Another round for Dundee. ‘The crowd hooted they came to an unnecessary clinch in the eleventh. Willie was talking to Johnny tn seem- ing anger. He stuck his left three times into Johnny's face and drove a hard right to the body, It was a tame round, gojng to Jackson. Dundee popped four jabs on Willie’ face when Jackson tried to rush him, Johnny sidestepped and Willie merely went through the ropes. The crowd got a laugh in this round, as Referee Sullivan tripped himself up in Jack- son's corner, Jackson fought in spots only in this round, but when he atart- ed he had the better of the milling.

Seventeen teams, with repre: sentatives from the leading clubs, colleges, Y. M. C. A. and prep schools, are scheduled to face the starter in this race, Teams will consist of four men, one man to run a half mile, one @ quarter mile and two men one- eighth of a mile each. In addition to this attraction several other evonts \m short and long distance racing make up the programme. Chief interest at the Samaclar games will no doubt centre in the ,000-yards scratch invitation race for the J. F. Carney trophy. Joie Ray and Harold Cubbill, who took Ray's measure at the Millrose games, but who was later defeated by the Chi- cago runner in Boston, will toe the mark in this match Cutbill is not jin the best of condition at the pres- ent time, due to an injury of one of his feet, but it is expected he will be in shape for the coming games. Al Swede, the Princeton star; Sid Leslie, and possibly Earl Eby of Pennsyl- {vania, will also start, There will also ‘be two Metropolitan Association championships decided at the games, the one-mile relay and high jump. Both events Saye attracted a large | entry, The 2d Division Post games wil bring out a large entry.

SOME SPoTs IN THE RING WERE AS SMOOTH AS A BALL ROOM SuLuWAN SkIDDED AND NEARLY SIDE SHIPED & POST IN THE © GROSS RECEIPTS OF JACKSON-DUNDEE BATTLE IN GARDEN, $50,991.60 By John Pollock. Although Johnny Dundee lost the decision to Willie Jackson in thelr fifteen-round battle at Madi- #on Square Garden last night, he recelved just as much for losing as Jackson did for winning. Each of them drew down $11,009.50 for thelr hard battle. The gross re- ceipts, including the Government tax of 10 per cent., brought the amount up to $60,991.60. Accord- ing to the terms of the match Jackson was to receive a guaran- tee of $10,000, with an option of accepting 25 per cent. of the gross receipts, after the State tax of 5 per cent. had been deducted, while Dundee fought for 25 per cent. of ; the receipts less the State tax. They each, therefore, got one- quarter of $44,088.20, which gave them the above mentioned sum. The State got $2,317.80.
