DUNDEE'S INFIELD HITS AND SPEED
ENABLE HIM JUST ABOUT TO SHADE
HEAVY-HITTING SOUTHPAW CHANEY
New Yorker Plays Walloping Game for Three
Innings With Baltimorean, Discovers Mistake,
Then Relies on Hit-and-Run Stuff
By LOUIS
ACCURATE and consistent hitting, aided .
Jtx by liberal applications of "inside
tuff." gained the decision for Johnny Dun
dee In his bout with George Chancy at
Shlbe Park last night The little Italian
was stacked up against one of the 400 hit
ters of the boxing game and clearly proved
to the huge gathering that timely singles
end one-baso knocks aro more effective In
the long run than home-run wallops which
Beyer land. That Is the story of the first
big open-air show at the. ball yard
Chaney Is a knockout artist He wins
Boot of his battles by administering tho
Bleeping potion to his opponent before tho
legal limit has expired. He tried It last
night, and while busily engaged In that un
dertaking Dundee stepped In and out
pointed him While George was getting
ready to launch that terrific left. Johnny
would shoot a few left Jabs to tho face,
lump away and repeat an Instant later.
t Only once did tho Wop get In bad, but
(Clever stalling and exceptionally good foot
1 work carried him out of danger.
Good Bout
It was a wonderful exhibition and tho
loyal crowd wblch braved the rain was per
fectly satisfied. Tho boys battled In fiont
of the grand stand In a ring which was
Itched over the home plate The spectators
eould sea from any seat In the stands nnd
verythlng was run off smoothly. The only
hitch was when tiie lights went out, but that
was no fault of the management. The
transformer on the electric light pole out
aide of the park was not strong enough to
take care of the current which lighted the
Hands and It burned out. KmpVoyes from
the' electric light company repaired tho
damagu In record time, although the crowd
was forced to wait more than one half
hour. This troublo Is not likely to happen
In the future and to guard against It John
Bhlbe stated that he would have two men
on the job constantly to oversee tho repair
work.
A slight drlizle began to fall when the
boxers stepped up for the first round, and
It rained Intermittently throughout tho
combat Vivid flashes of lightning and the
rolling grumble of distant thunder also
added color, and nolso to tho scene, and the
stage setting could not be Improved upon.
Tho only thing that should be lmproed
Is the location of the press box. Iloxlng
scribes are accustomed to report ring en
counters from the ringside, where they can
study the effect of the blows and see what
is happening. Up In the second pavilion,
which, by- the way, Is an Ideal place for a
rpectator, the writers wero unable to get
the proper line on their work. John Shlbe
promised to have press seats on tho Held
for the next show on July 18, and this will
benefit all concerned
Dundee Makes Mistake
Dundee, fast, clever, elusive and the
Uoxer, made a mlstako when he started
off to outfight the terrific-slugging Chancy.
And Mr. Dundee's mistake almost got
him Into the same predicament as when
Willie Jackson knocked him out. This
happened In the third round After battling
almost evenly with Chaney. toe to toe, for
the first pair of frames. Johnny repeated
his slugging tactics In the next period
Six successive times Dundee connected
with right-hand leads before Chaney suc
ceeded In retaliating, all previous swings
going for strikes. Dut as Dundee switched to
hooking his left Chaney rushed the Gotham
Slovenian to the ropes and there hung a
vicious short right under the chin, follow
ing with a terrific left uppercut. Dundee's
knees sagged and he saved himself from
going to the floor by falling Into an Iron
trip clinch.
The nit and Run
After that, with the exception of a few
exchanges at close quarters, Dundee played
his hit-and-run game, tapping light Infield
blngles and showing his Ty Cobb ability
around the twenty-four-foot diamond. With
Dundee playing the Inside game, placing
light wallops and putting all of hid speed
Into action, this put Chaney on the aggress
ive end almost continually.
While the Baltimorean forced the fight
ing. It was true that Dundee landed the more
often, and because of the great distance
from tho ring It could not be determined
how much effect punches of the respective
boxers had on the other. But It was evi
dent that Dundee's cleverness, ducking and
4miriitr oniiseil nhanev to do a lot of miss-
Inr. and most of the blows that landed-
caught Johnny when ne was going .
Tf was a case of one team bunching
Its hits, although light, and the other land
Jng only now and then mostly then with
"over-the-fence" foroe. HatTany of several
southpaw slams connected Just right with
Dundee's phln It Is probable the Scotch
wop would have picked himself up where
many a ball found rest over the right-field
wall after Frank Baker hooked one.
Tremendous Crowd
It was estimated that between 7o00 and
DOO persona crowded the grand stand pa
vilion, left field and right field stands. Five,
thousand two hundred and ninety-flv cash
customers pushed through the turnitlea.
