JNDEE STILL DRAWING CARD Has Been in thd Ring Since W10 — Met Champ Three Times By Bonnie"" Jonny Dundee, the New York : Scotch W op," who hblda the junior lightweight tit lei of the world is one I of the grand ohl men of .the ring i game. For Johnny whose real monicker Is Joseph Carrara, was horn on No- 1 ; vember 22, 1893, at Shnrkai, Italy, and bdgan fighting hack in 1910, when still ! in his 'teens. Only last week the gray-thatched I veteran of the squared circle succeeded jin winning his first title, after gunning for the .leglmatc 135-pound . crown for the past eleven years, when he won from George (K. O.) Chancy on a foul in the fifth round. ' Dundee's career as a boxer has been I a long and varied one, but nevertheless an interesting one. Unlike Leonard. he hax met every lightweight who • had at any time any aspirations for ; the title, and usually his opponent would fail to realize his ambitions as ja further contender for the 135-pound , honors. j For it was Johnny who put a crimp .in the careers of 'Jimmy Murphy, who ; w as looked upon several years ago as lone of the best lightweights that ! Philadelphia ever produced. Frankie - Callahan, Johnny Drummie, Pete Hartley and numerous other lesser light*, j Johnny has met the champions— I both Freddy WeLsh and Leonard, but when the necessary punch was needed, .faileil to produce that which would | made the crown change hands, j first and only encounter with Welsh was in 1914, when he fought the Englishman a ten round no-dcci' | "ion affair in New York. Dundee looked upon by the promoters as a trial horse was stacked ' against a coming Gotham lightweight named Benny Leonard hack in 11916 and, he surprised everybody by giving the youngster the toughest battle of his career, although no decision rendered. The fued between Leonard and the Wop" was renewed the fol- ^ ' lowing year, when the pair met in ' encounters — all no-decision affairs — two being for ten rounds and the other for six can toes. Mel Kilbane in 1913 Dundee in 1913, the Cleveland vetfor the 125-pound title and held to a draw in twenty rounds. ! Eyton referreed this bout. Wfcen the New Yorker invaded the ranks he had a comparaeaay time winning decisions' over Joe Azevedo, Matt Brock, Joe the famous Californian, Matt " Joe Mandot, Jimmy Hanlon, J Jimmy Muhphy and a host of others. . However, Johnny was soon to meet ' . Waterloo, for another promising j Manhattan boxer fighting under the ( of Willie Jackson and with his . optics fixed on the lightweight crown I met New York's "Fighting Wop" at i Philadelphia and the result was most . disastrous. For this Jackson person . Dundee in one round. This on January 15, 1917. Dundee realizing that he was going do the grand "toboggan act," as so .many 'fighters had done before him. pulled himself together and decided to await his chance to put the proverbial on Willie. Six months later — to be more exact on June 30, he got his longed-for but Jackson was wide awake and gave Johnny as good as he received in a ten rounder in Gotham : without a verdict. On March 25th, of the next year. had another try to avenge for' knockout he suffered when he crossed jabs with Jackson in at twelve j round engagement at New Haven, Conn. After a fast and furious encounter which reminded fan* of two wildcats scrapping, the bout wai de- ; clared a draw. Dundee iss still trying to get on even terms with Jackson, but it is •toubtful if that b|nt--t>n the "Scotch Wop's" record will ever be as Jdhnny is not'as aggressive have been bqates by a total of only 13 points. \" The line-up: Wildwood Pos Ocean City.
