In every round, but the lightweight champ managed to land most ot the dam
aging wallops and made Johnny behae eery time he became obstreperous.
Dundee waded into his heavier opponent without fear nnd slammed him around
the (ring ns if he were a preliminary bo. He took more chances than any man
Who ever faced the titleholder, with the exception of Freddy Welsh in his first
tight with Gibson's boy.
Dundee had a plan of battle all mapped out and strictly adhered to it.
He did not allow Leonard to get set and shoot over his haymaker, keeping him
cn the move nil of the time. He copied n page from Freddy Welsh's book
When Freddy outpointed him in Brooklyn three years ago On that night
Welsh smothered Leonard with punclns, was on top of him rll of the time,
made him miss repeatedly and grabbed the erdict by a mile.
That's the only waj to fight Leonard, and Dundee knew it. He learned
a lot in his previous meetings with the chnnvp, studied hii style and outguessed
him. If Johnny possessed a knockout wallop Beun would have been in serious
danger a couple of times. In the fourth he soaked the champ on the chin with
a. hard right and his constant jabs had him bleeding from the mouth early in
the battle. Leonard looked worried and did not perform up to his usual
standard. After the fuss Billy Gibson said he had hurt his right hand, but
from where we were sitting Benny did not seem to be in the best of shape.
S His skin was white and there wasn't a trace of sunburn, which showed he did
j little work in the open, but stayed in the gymnasium.
However, he had all of the confidence in the world in his own ability, and
when he started to show Dundee where he got off there was no doubt of his
' Intentions. Some say he could have stopped Dundee any time he wished, but
don't you believe it. Johnny didn't remain long enough in one place ; and
anyway, it's pretty hard to hit a movable target.
ACCORDING to our box score, Leonard won the first, second.
J
fourth and sixth rounds, and
end jffA. Johnny sloieed up slightly at the end of ctery round or
the battle would have been closer.
Dundee Surprises With Aggressiveness
THE crowd and it was a crowd saw one of the best balanced and most.,
exciting boxing shows ever staged here. Because of the easy access to the
grounds more than 15,000 came ont to have a look. There was a rush for the
unoccupied scats shortly after the first bout was put on, but that will not
happen again. However, every one took it good-naturedly and there was no
trouble.
Before the wind-up was put on Lew Tcndler climbed through the ropes
and was introduced. Somebody evidently forgot his lines, for nothing was said
about challenging Leonard. Lew was so sore about it that he forgot to shake
hands with the champion and Benny had to walk ocr to him to go through
that formality. Tendier still insists he can beat Leonard at 133 pounds and
will send him a letter the next time he is in a challenging mood.
But let's get back to the fight.
Dundee pulled a big surprise in the first session when he rushed out of his
turner, tore after Leouard, lauded a shower of lefts and rights, stepped back
'nd.6paked him again before the champion knew what had happened. Many
believed Johnny was taking unnecessary chances and would tire himself out
before the fifth round, but such was not the case. He kept on going, with
Benny on the defensive or missing many punches, but landing often enough to
keep the lead. Near the end of the first he staggered Dundee with a vicious
right uppercut and sent him to his. corner in a dazed condition.
The second round was very fast, with Dundee still on the aggressive. He
continued to muss things up and Benny received many jabs in the face. Only

trinnlng'the round. Benny, however, took the fourth when he stood toe to toe

IQHyXY came back strong in the fifth and, tchile Leonard teas
taking things easy, piled up enough points to carry the round. In
the sixth, howeier, Dundee teas tired and Benny stepped out and made
the decision unanimous. But he failed to land a Knockout wallop,
which did not add to the pleasure of his evening.
Eddie Moy Refuses to Quit
TTIDDIE, MOT gave a great exhibition of gameness in the semifinal, although
he lost by a mile to Irish Patsy Gline. The Allentown boy took everything
banded out by Patsy, came back for more and kept on fighting.
In the first round he got in bad when Cline, after jabbing him around the
ting, shot over a short right hook and bent him to the canvas. He arose at the
count of nine, staggered around and would have had a stormy voyage if Billy
Pnrcell hadn't pulled the gong and ended the round.
It looked like curtains in the second, but IMdie refused to quit. He kept

Tatsy gave an exhibition of high-class boxing in the third, squirming around
like an eel, dodging punches and landing when he pleased. However, he got
careless near the end and this gac Moy some needed confidence.
Cline tried to end things in the fourth, hitting Eddie with a choice assort
ment of jabs, books and jolts, to say nothing of swinging slams. Moy took all

and allowed Patsy to punch himself out
Moy put on a rally in the fifth when Cline began to show signs of fatigue,
jsnd staggered Patsy with a hard right to the whiskers. The Irish person was
groggy and Eddie kept after him. Cline was on the defensive and became ery
tired before the gong sounded. Eddie made a big hit with the crowd and he
yjt n was wildly cheered when he went to his
-win, buf the crowd admired his gameness.

RAINS PROMISES RELIEF
Fight fans got the "razz" at the
Phillies' Ball Park last night. They
suffered the only knockout on jthe pro
gram. And to many of them it was
a hard blowi
The bouts were booked to start at
8.30 o'clock. And they did. But those
who didn't get inside the gates a half
hour before that time hadn't a chance
to get the scats they paid for. They
got seats some of them but it was
a grand scramble all the way through,
and the fellow who won out was the
one who could climb best over rows of
chairs.
Promoter Leon Rains, who staged the
bouts, said today that he had previously
arranged to hare sufficient patrolmen
on tyie job, but that not enough men
were spnt bj the department to handle
the crowds.
Iu explaining the lack of ushers,
Rains declared he had accepted the offer
to have marines on the job after it had
been explained that the men were actu
ally on military duty and would remain
where the were posted.
"It heems," said Rains, "that
the bens in khaki left thffr posts at the
hrst sign of a fight and the fans had to
dig for themselves. It is unfortunate,
but under the new arrangement no one
will suffer."
It is estimated that a crowd some
where in the neighborhood of 15,000
persons saw the bouts. It is a safe bet
that of the 10,000 who edged, and
crowded their way through the narrow
turnstiles that jammed the entrances
to the very few gates opened to admit
the crowd, not more than a few hun
dred who happened to get inside the
park somewhere after sundown, saw an
usher.
Announcement wns made later in the
evening that a detachment of marines
from the Philadelphia Navy Yard had
consented, at the request of Mnjor A.
J. Drexel Biddle, to serve as ushers and
lead the fight fans to their, seats.
But the marines, at the first sound
ot the bell staging the initial prelimi
nary bout beat it from the stands and
spent the remainder of a pleasant eve
ning on the tur,f at the ringside. There
was nothing doing in the ushering line
when the blows started. And the
"devil dogs" surp held up their repu
tation of being the first at the fight.
World Series Crowd
In the meantime, outside the few
gates that the management saw fit to
open to the fans, there was a regula
tion world's series crowd jamming and
pushing its way into the narrow en
trances nnd edging right and left in a
ain effort to reach the several windows
where tickets were on sale.
There was an average of about one
patrolman to every 300 persons. And
if the crowd hadn't been good-natured
and orderly, except for jamming and
edging in front of the entrances, it
might have been a different story.
At the Fifteenth and Huntingdon
streets entrance, where the higher
priced tickets were being sold, there
was one lone patrolman inside the en
trance doing bis best to keep An order
a throng of nearly 3000 persons. All
hfi could do was stand there where he
had been planted and plead with the
crowd to "take It easy."
Sticks in Turnstile
But the bouts had started and tbe
fans wanted to get inside tbe gate.
Most of them were without tickets,
and in their hands held rolls of bills
ready for the ticket-sellers. Inside
the gate, just beyond the lone patrol
man, was a line five deep In front of the
ticket window. Men climbed on each
other's shoulders trying to reach the
ticket agent. Heverat clambered to tbe
top of the turnstiles that blocked paa
sage into the park. One man, who
weighed, about 240 founds ringedda,

WHAT A MONKEY
Netv Seating Arrangement
for Fights in Future
Promoter Leon Rains announced
today that because of the seating
congestion at the Phillies' ball park
last night there would be n new re
setting nrrangement enforced at
subsequent shows under his man
agement. Hereafter, there will be no num
bered seats, except those in boxes.
It will be a case of "first come, first
served."
Three sections will be allotted to
the fight fans. One will include the
$1 scats; another the $2 seats and
a third the 53 seats.
Ticket holders will take what seats
they can get aud the "early birds"
will get first choice.
"This," commented Mr. Rains,
"will avoid all confusion and give
every fan a square deal."
to get a ticket before he would budge.
He stuck it out in good shape, too, but
in the meantime there were possibly
2000 others behind men and women
who were pushing and edging their
wav to the entrance.
The patrolman -was helpless every
time the crowd surged toward the
gates. He merely had the chance to
throw up his hands and urge the crowd
to "take it casj." He was as help
less as Joe Borrell in the fifth round
of his battle with Irish Patsy Cline. But
there was no referee to stop the battle
at the gates and the patrolman in
side merely well, he just stood his
ground.
Several women in the crowd were
crushed. It might have been worse
had the crowd started any rough house.
But ever body seemed good naturcd
and, while the fans railed at the abso
lute lack of any executive ability in
crowd-handling, they did their Jurn
dest to make the best of the situation.
Detectives on Hand
The same situation was staged at the
several other entrances to the )ark.
Detectives were scattered through the
crowds to keep their eyes open for pick
pockets, but there was a lack of pa
trolmen to handle the crush. The
streets were jammed by automobiles of
every description. Crowds lined both
sides of Huntingdon and Fifteenth
streets, and Broad street was thronged
clear into the center of the thorough
fare. Many of the fans who hadn't pur
chased tickets in advance were up
against a wait of several hours before
they could get near enough to the
ticket windows to plank down tbelr
money for the cardboards. Those with
tickets, jammed in with the prospective
purchasers. Many got into the wrong
entrances, but by the time the "patrol
man on the inside bad warned them
to "go 'round to the other gate," it
was -virtually impossible for them to
move one way or the other.
No Ushers In Sight
Once on the inside the fans faced a
situation that was even more chaotic.
No ushers in sight and thousands look
ing helplessly about the grandstands for
their seats. Many of them, found tbe
section and the row in which tbey had
been placed, but they were up against
tbe proposition of taking what seats
they could land.
Usually the fans found their reserved
seats occupied by other fans. There was
no use of any arguments. Tbe fights
had started on time and those fortu
nate enough to get on the inside early
in the evening were howling to the'un
avoidably detained late-comers to "sit
down." But most'of them found no place
to sit.
The marines were down on the ball
park turf. There wasn't any person In
sight who looked llfie an usher and it
was a case of grab what they could get
and be grateful that tbey bad got inside
tbe turnstiles.
Crowds three and four deep lined" the
aisles and cross-entrances to the reserv
ed seat sections. Tbey pushed and edged
their way along with tbe fans in front
ot them. And if they were lucky to nnd
an unoccupied chair they just dropped
Into it or climbediover an aisle or two
of chairs and made tbe best of things.
Fans with reserved seat 'tickets in
their hands crowded tbe stairways and
sat on the pavilion girders. They lined
the aisles to the rear ot tbe pavilions
and hung on as best they could. All the
while they railed and howled at the
management and denounced the failure

IN THE ZOO THINKS ABOUT
W1LLARD FAVORITE
Champ, Growing Stronger and
Faster, Is Virtually Annihi
lating Sparring Partners
JACK WORKS OUT LIGHTLY
Toledo, 0., June 17. Jess Willard is
growing stronger, faster and more con
tented day by day as he prepares for
his ooming battle w ith Jack Dempsey.
Home time ago it was freely pre
dicted there was a very good chance for
the challenger to enter the ring with
the champion at even money betting.
There isn't a chance for this now it
was believed today.
lollowing yesterday's vicious work
out Jess's stock soared to a beicht it
has never achieved before. The hie
pugilist simply annihilated his sparring
partners in the most ferocious training
battles ever seen in his camp. Critics
who saw him from the very first day of
his training declare he has improved
COO per cent.
Jess Boxes Fnst
Jess stepped so fast the sparring
partners were sent at him in relays
first Hempcl and Hdncn and then
Monahan. On two occasions Heinen took
cracks that caused his knees to bend
and Willard -w aa-forced to call off the
artillery while his target recuperated.
He eased up a bit on Hempel, but shot
heavy right and lefts at Monahan as
long as Walter would take them with
out running.
r , i m . ...
iciuiisey s myoa irom noxing is
turning attention to the Willard camn
Dempsey is determined that there will
be no damage done to his eye. There
fore, he is taking his own advice to a
great extent, in keeping away from
boxing while,training. Probably Fri
day or Saturday he may work with
sparring partners.
Specials From East?
Information which has reached here
is to the effect that the government ban
on specials to the big hght provides only
that trains shall not be run from the
East. Trains from the West, it is
asserted, will not be halted.
So far, according to Tex Rickard,
170 special trains have been provided
to bring spectators to Toledo for the
bout. No information has been received
from an official source that thse will
be forbidden.

NAME OF MIKE BRADY
LURES KID GLEASON
TO TITLE GOLF PLA Y
Baseball Philosophy, as Expounded by Peppeny White
Sox Boss, Holds on Links as Well as Diamond.
Not Beaten Till Game's O'er
. ' ,
IN THE SPOltTLlGHT BY GJIANTLAND RICE
Copyiizht, 1910. All tight reserved.
TO KID GLEASON, the game and aggressive manager of the Whl e Sox, a
competition is a competition and a battle is a battle.
For the Kid belongs to the ancient order when a ball game was a young
war with a rough and tumble appeal.
Now the Kid had never paid any particular attention to golf. Golf to him
was just one of those soft and spongy games that don't belong. It must have
been that the Kid "by chance Saw where one'Mlchael Brady was tied for the
open championship at Brae Burn. As we figure It, this name must have lured
the Kid out, for when Hngcn nnd Brady stood at tbe first tee there was the
Kid only a few yards awny.
TUE MADE the journey around together and by the fifth hole the
" "'c Kid was pretty well adjacent to what it was all about, being
a keen obscner with aq eye open for the main details, .
Refused to Quit
THE Kid naturally was pulling for Mike Brady. What else could he do
with a name of that type on the card?
And when Brady was four strokes behind at the tenth bole and even his
most ardent supporters had yielded all hope, the Kid refused to quit.
"Beaten?" said the Kid, when some one remarked that Brady was through,
"Why beaten? The mntch isn't oVer yet. is it? No man named Mike Brady is
beaten until the game is done. Watch him stmt."
Whereupon Michael started in nnd won three of the next four holes by
one of the finest rallies ever seen.
He wns beaten at the finish, but only nfter a grand battle all the way. But
nil through the round the game Kid was grumbling at those who had given up
hope. "A good, game man is never beaten," he added later on, "and it's a
big handicap to any marl out there trying when all his friends quit." There's
quite a bit of philosophy in that last statement.
TUIORE than one entry has curled up because he knew that his friend
IT had lost faith in his ability to win.
The KicFs Pennant Outlook
KID GLEASOy'S stand back of Mike Brady, holding on until the fina". putt,
exemplifies the new spirit of the White Sox.
This club may be beaten, butit will never quit, for Gleason has set them
In this frame of mind.
"There are days," he said, "when we can't hit much, and there are days
when our pitching goes bad. There are days when the breaks are all against
us, too, but there nre no days when we are not out there bustling and fighting
and giving the best we have. And it will be just this way to the end of the race.
"J don't believe in ovcrconfidencc," he said, "any more than I believe in
underconfidence. But I believe that every "man ought to feel that as long as
he is willing to make his fight for it he has got his chance to win."
fOXSlDERABLE institution the Kid. Be stalks like a ghost from
the ancient days oe of the old-timers who knew the seamy side
of the game some twenty-five to thirty years ago. And if there is any
one who knows more basebatl ihanjic does it hasn't been shown so far.
Back'to Old' Chris
GLEASON tells a story in connection with Chris Von der Ahc, one of the
rarest characters of the game.
The Kid had been pitching for St. Louis and his arm began to crumble up.
So Von der Ahc let him go. The next year Gleason showed up at second base
for Philadelphia, where he immediately began to star, both at bat and in the
field. When he reached St. Louis Chris was mortally offended nt his old pitcher.
"Vy is it," he said, "you didn't tell me you vas a second baseman also? Vy did
you hide it from me ven you could pitch no more?"
Short and stocky pitchers of the Gleason type are now rare in baseball.
The game has veered toward the lanky type under the rating of "tall and rangy
guy." The tall and rangy guy has the call.
yAUOHN, Alexander, Johnson, Perry most of the, winners, are -
well above the average in build. Ferdy Schupp is one of the few
slightly built pitching stars of recent years,
T SEE," writes Hokus, "that both . Ir. Willard and Mr. Dcmpse. express
J. themselves as being confident of winning. Does any one believe that either
would openly confess he had no chance to win, evenif he felt that way about
it? Wnsn't it Mr. Frank Moran who was going to knock Wiliard-cold in about
five rounds, aud wasn't Mr. Willard perfectly sure that he was going to stop
Mr. Moran well within the limit? Or am I all wrong?"
T710RM," remarked an expert, "is that brief interval betwt.n getting ready
X1 and going stale." Does Jack Dcmpse?, who is reported fit, believe he can
maintain that "brief interval" for the next four weeks? The marvel of It Is
the vast number of people who reach the top well In advance of the big; test
and then wonder why they cracked when the main show was opened. And this
has happened a trifle oftcner tflan you might think.
