Referring to Dundee's bout with George

Sttr Montelth writes from New York :

In- rhlladeipnia last season, enuea wiiii
neJther having tho better of six sizzling,
sensational sessions.
Leonard and Dundee aro boxers, of two
different and entirely distinct types. While
Leonard Is a rcmarkablo boxer with a
N punch, which he has proved to bo of sleep
producing powers, Dundee Is n wonderfully
clever exponent with n wallop that couldn't
knock a man's hat off. Nevertheless, Dun
ta keeps righting so furiously and punch
ing so Incessantly that It keeps tho other
fellow on the jump almost continually ;
thus the opposition seldom can get set to
drive home a telling punch.
Both Quick Thinkers
Both Leonard and Dundee are quick
thinking boxers, hence their apparent nerv
ousness when In action. Benny boxes In
a businesslike way; he shows the specta
tors that he' makes' uso of his gray mat
ter. Often Leonard lias been set for a
punch and when It nppears tho wallop
would go astray Benny can bo seen shaking
his head, pull back tho blow and begin
feinting for another opening.
Dundee, on the other hand, varies his at
tack. At one stage of the battlo lio will
give a good Imitation of a boxer who doesn't
possess any science; he keeps tearing In,
with lowered head, and punches away with
both hands. Then when the other fellow
becomes dangerous no faster, shiftier, more
scientific boxer ever hops around In the
twenty-four-foot battlefield than the same
little Dundee. His nlrplano Jab has been

Splendid Types '
Dundee nnd Leonard are two of tho finest
famples of a pugilist. They know tho gamo
from A to V. and baokwnrd. It doesn't mat
ter whether Dundee could outpoint Leonard
In twenty rounds enough to warrant n
referee's decision, thus shifting tho crown
from one's brow to the other, but one thing
Is certain, n Dundee-Leonard contest could
not be beaten for action. Interest and a
regular ring battle. This has been proved
In previous bouts.
They will meet no doubt for tho fifth time
In the future, whether for six. ten or In a

CHAMPION WILLARD TO
DEFEND TITLE IN FALL
Heavyweight King Denies Re
ports That He Intends to
Quit Ring
CHICAGO, III.. July 10. Jess Wlllard Is
not figuring on quitting tho ring. Denying
reports of his retirement, tho heavyweight
champion, In a letter to Chicago friends,
said that ho would be ready to 'defend his
tltlo as soon as tha circus season Is finished
In October.
The champion said he was entirely
through with Jack Curley and Tom Jones,
his former managers, who havo threatened
to sue him.
"As long as I was working on a salary
Jones and Curley got their percentage on
my earnings," Wlllard wrote, "but the war
and bad weather hurt the show business
and I received notice that my contract waB
to be canceled. That would leave me out
In the cold, so I bought tho circus.
"As owner of the show and not an em
ploye, I could not see where Jones and
Curley should be entitled to any part of
the gross receipts. So I discharged them"
Wlllard confided that he weighed In the
neighborhood of 260 pounds, which Is about
thirty pounds above his usual fighting
weight, but that with a little training ho
would be able to defend his honors In a
twenty-round contest
"It isn't true that I have refused to box
either Carl Morris or Fred Fulton," Wll
lard's letter continued. "Why should I bar
them If the public wants me to meet either
of them? It Is true that I do not like
Morris, but that doesn't mean that he's
barred."
The big Kansan has amassed a fortune
since he became champion. It is said that
he has between S400.000 and ?500,000
planted away In Chicago banks,

REFORM RULES DUE IN COLLEGIATE
SPORTS NEXT YEAR, OWING TO
New Regulations Will Be Necessary When Athj
letics Are Resumed May Prove Revival in
Competition for Rah-Rah Boys "
wb
HILE college athletics are expected to
bo resumed at a majority of the eastern
universities next autumn, It Is generally
conceded that prevailing conditions will b
vastly different from thoso governing sport
nt theso Institutions In recent years.
To somo extent new regulations will be
necessary, and n number of close followers
of varsity nthlctles aro of the opinion that
the tlmo is opportune for certain reforms
in both tho spirit nnd play of tho gamo.
This belief has been voiced In several
localities, and In somo cases where small
hope of a general revival of Intercollegiate
sport Is held out for the next few months.
An editorial In the Harvard Alumni Bui
letln touches upon this point In a manner
which may lit said to be typical of other
leading Institutions In tho Hast.
In part It I ns follows:
Sntnc Condition
"Although optimistic articles about the
early renewal of intercollegiate athletics
havo been printed lately, thoro are no In
dications that conditions nt Harvard next
fall will bo essentially different from those
which now exist.
"Much will depend, of course, on the
amount of attention which the undergrad
uates wish to give to military training.
Tho Intensive work now carried on by the
Reserve Officers' Training Corps takes
practically tho wholo time, of all Its mem
bers, and such a schedule next year will
mako It Imposslblo for the students to par
ticipate In Intcrcolleglato nthletlcs, or even
In competition which might be confined to
tho members of the university.
sssWBsWMsbsbssbsbBssbssssss""
IO f orSS?
Z4lso pacha d,
20:toTlO$
"If, however, military training Is reduce
?f i r.r"ear t0 a minimum, the Interest In
nthletlcs may revive suffloltntlr to brin "
about Informal contests with other col
leges. The development of teams, undr
such circumstances, must begin from ta
very bottom.
New Faces in 'Sports
"Almost all of the prominent athletes have
gono away from Cambridge and are In ths
training camps, the avlaUon squads, the
raval Ileserve, the ambulance corps, or
Borne other branch of service In prepara
tion for or participation In the wars Uw,
If any. of them will return to college la
the autumn, and their places on the foo
ball eleven and tho other teams must be
filled by new and Inexperienced men.
Such a condition of things would not
be wholly disadvantageous, for It might
tend to change the atmosphere In which
hTtercolleglate athletics have been fostered!
There has been no peace In the minds of
many enthusiasts 'without victory.' This Is
