JUNIOR LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE IS STILL IN JOHNNY DUNDEEF’S KEEPING : a PEPPER MARTIN’ DEFEATED ly Vincent Fails to Land His Haymaker on the Famous Scotch Wop. By Ed. Van Every. Jno DUNDEE'S junior light- weight title may be considered quite safe so far as Pepper Mar- tin of Brooklyn is concerned, Last night's fistic afcair was merely to de- termine whether a wild swing had any chance against a human fighting machine. More than 15,000, curious folk, most of them good customers, gathered at the New York Velodrome to get the answer, and many wer more or less peeved because what hap- pened was only what they expected ‘They hoped for the worst and that was the best they got. Johnny Dundee has taken one on the jaw for the count during his career just once; maybe if he keeps on fighting long enough the accident may happen again some night. Last night was not the nig Martin, whose first name is Vin- cent, but doesn't-fight like that kind of a guy, tried hard to live up to the Pepper cognomen. But it needed more pepper than was Martin's to make a ring meal of Old Man Dun- dee. In addition to his wild swing Martin brought with him rare con- dition anti plenty of fighting heart The result should have been a better battle than it amounted to. As a matter of fact, the setto was by no means as thrilling as it might have been. Dundee at times made Martin look positively foolish. In sev- eral of the rounds, notably the tenth, Johnny had Pep so badly mixed up that he slammed over rights and lefts to the jaw almost at will. Yet at no time was the Brooklyn boy in serious danger. Pepper may at times have looked foolish, but this was far from being unconscious. As round after round wore along with Dundee's punch making no par- ticular impression and Martin's wallop going nowhere in particular expressions of disappointment were plainly audible. Of course the Scotch Wop has never shown anything much in the way of a knockout punch, but after his K. O. of Danny Frush the Dundee admirers were expecting much of their favorite. Martin is usually not a hard man to drop, but aside from being pushed down in the first and tripping to the canvas on another occasion, Dundee was unable to spill his man, Dundee feinted Martin into knots and all manner of foolish positions, and bobbing was at times grotesque to say the least. The Brooklyn boy opened the first round with a wild swing that missed so hard it looked dangerous, and Dun- dee pressed him about in a business- Every- body decided that something would Pepper's ducking and like and determined manner. happen before the night was over. Martin stuck over a right that jarred before the end of the round, and in the second there was some fair exchanges with honors about even, but by the third Dundee had Martin's style pretty well figured and he jarred him well with straight lefts. BY VETERAN RING ARTIST real advantage. one right upperc must have hurt were from th jumping jack tactics, but the get him much other than a few extra cracks on the jaw indicated, they didn't seem to have any particular danger However, there was no doubt as to Dundee being entitled to the verdict weighed 130 and Dundee Martin in Martin 124%, Pete Hartley ran against a tartar in the twelve-round semi-final Andy Thomas, an the east side. plainly there. 14,280 FANS PAY $41,349 TO SEE THE DUNDEE-MARTIN GO By John Pollock.

The Giants are back in town to-day, after thelr concluding victorious swing through the West. There will ho no game to-day owing to another open date on the National League schedule. To-morrow the world’s champions will cross the river to Flatbush where they will be enters tained in a three-game series by Wil hert Robinson's Dodgers. Fate in the past has been unkind to the National League team that pastures across the bridge. From a contender for World's Series honors’ rs ago, the Dodgers have re+ trogressed until to-day the clan of players on the payroll of the lordly, Squire Ebbets are submerged in seventh place in the National League two y Once the populace of the nation's netropolis looked upon the clashes of the Brooklyn and New York clubs as anic struggles, not surpassed even. hy the World's Series classic itself. But no more, The times when the Dodgers could defeat the Glants more imes in a season than the present world’s champions could defeat them have vanished. The glory that was once Wilbert obinson's of having the best hurling f in elther major league is to-day. only a memory. The Yankee's early in the season robbed the Dodgers of that prestige, uthough one might not believe it the way they have been going the cur- rent year. The great hurling staff gone, the Dodgers began to weaken in other spots, where immediate rein- forcing failed for the purpose it was intended, and the great Nutional League champions who fought the veland Indians in the 1920 World's Series so valiantly passed slowly into oblivion. While the Dodgers were slipping, their arch enemy from across the river was building up under the care- ful guidance of Manager John Mc~ Graw a great ball club that to-day, nks foremost to any major league organization despite its obviously, Wouk pitching staff. So where we once saw the memor= ial “battles of the boroughs,"’ we may; now observe not two teams of equal strength striving for the honors of Greater New York, while a multitude of partisan fans urge them on with their lusty shouts and an occasional pop bottle, but a weak and broken down ball club matching its ebbing strength with the most powerful con~ temporanious steam roller, Thus we cannot treat the coming three-game series with the Dodgers with much significance. The Giants have a Mkely looking squad of youngsters with the team.
