rumour DUNDEE ;
IN HIS NEXT BOUT?
NEW YORK, July 28.The financial
in Philadelphia Wednesday night will
. probably lead to another big open air
ibattle in the sleepy city within a few
weeks. A match between Leonard
and Johnny Dundee, who is the only
lightweight to show that he has a‘
ghost of a chance with the champion.
is the one the promoters are anxious
to stage.
When Scotty 'Montioth, the manager
If Dundee, got a flash at the size of
Ithe crowd at Shibe Park he lost no
: time in securing an option on the park.
Zfor a date later on in the summer,‘
which probably will be Labor day. A,
Brooklyn promoter has offered Leon-
ard $8.000 for his end of a bout with
Dundee at Eb‘bets Field, Brooklyn,
and Montleth now comes forth with
on otter to duplicate this for a bout in"
Philadelphia, where the llmft is only
six rounds; thatnad of ten.
A: u Minded-leopard bout now is
the only logical one in sight, the bid-
ding probably will go even higher be-
fore the match is clinched.
