Dundee Won by Air
Route, SayN Fans
v. New York, March 18. Boxing en
thusiasts of this city were convinced
totty that Johnny Dundee of West
Orange, N. J.. was a better serial
fighter than Charlie White of Chi
cago. The two lads met at Madison
Square Garden last night, and the
boy who had traded his Italian name
of Giuseppe Carora for the Scottish
monicker of Dundee was given the
decision. . White, who in private life
bears the peaceful name of Charles
Anchowitr, did not have an anti
aircraft gun, and thus could not cope
with his opponent's unusual strategy.
White worked his well-known left
hand overtime during the earlier
rounds, but it seemed to lack wreck
ing qualities. After a few rounds
, Dundee threw overboard the cau
tion that marked the first phase of
' the battle and began to leave the
floor on long plunges at White.
He bounced off the ropes and
landed on the startled Chicagoan be
fore the latter could duck away. He
vaulted into the blue, smoky at
mosphere and planted bis two mitts
squarely on White's jaw and then
indulged in pyrotechnics that made
even the spectators dizzy.
Fans who go to see Dundee en
gage in a melee generally get action,
and last night was no exception.
Johnson Bout Net Him
i Not a Dime, Says Flynn
Fort Worth, Tex., March 18.
Jim Flynn of Pueblo, heavyweight
pugilist, today revived memories of
his memorable fight with Jack John
son at Las Vegas, N. M.. in 1912,
which was stopped by police after
nine sanguinary rounds. Flynn di
vulged the fact not generally known
that the fight, despite a large patron
age, did not net him a penny. He
continued:
"When I met Johnson at Las
, Vegas I had all to gain and' not a
thing to lose. I was to pet 35 per
cent of all receipts over $30,000. Un
fortunately, the bout drew $28,000
and I never reieived a dime. while
Johnson took every panny in the
House." , -

WHEN the annual Western
league base ball season starts
in the southern section of the
loop, April, 18, each team wilt be
piloted by a veteran leader and one
who has at some time or another
performed in the "big show."
Barney Burch The Omaha Buf
faloes will be headed by Barney
Burch again this coming season. Bar
ney held the lines during the latter
part of last season, relieving Jack
Lelivclt.
The local club owner and manager
is an all-around player and a valuable
man to the team. Barney hurls a
mean "slow" ball and can do back
stop duty in good fashion.'
Jack Lelivelt The Tulsa Oilers
will attempt to capture Ta" Tear
ncy's pennant this season with Jack
Lelivelt leading the attack. Jack is
a former Omaha Buffalo and a popu
lar one at that. Lelivelt topped the
lead in hitting last year and also shat
tered the major league record for the
number of hits swatted out during
the season. He will be playing man
ager for the Oilers.
Joe Fisher The Oklahoma Indians
have Joe Fisher as their pilot for the
coming season. According to in
formation received from the southern
city, Manager Fisher is hard at work
giving his athletes the once-over,
Joe Dunn Who is to manage the
Denver entry in the Western league
this season, has had the novel ex
perience of changing hands before
he even got a chance to show his
wares on the circuit.
While Dunn was signed to man
age the Toplin club this season, he is
a total stranger to the Miner fans.
His signature was hooked to man
ager's terms by Tom Haydcn, for
mer president of the Joplin club, dur
ing the minor league meeting in Buf
falo last December.
For three years previous to sign
ing with Hayden, Dunn had been
manager of the Bloomington Bloom
ers of the Thrcc-I league. In 1919
and 1920 he snagged the pennant for
the Bloomers and the Three-I circuit
went wild over hint. Nothing was
too good for husky Joe and his con
tract for 1921 was said to be one of
the Lest ever offered a minor league
skipper. It was far above con
sistency with class B organization.
But things didn't break so good for
Joe in 1921. At the close of the race
he pulled up with his Bloomers in
sixth place, and the fans forgot all
about the pair of rags he had won
for them. Joe was a victim of the
old baseball wag, "Vou're a hero one
minute and a dub the next." And so
he drew his release from the Bloom
ington club.
Hut Joe isn't the kind that quits
and there are seven managers in the
Western league who will do well
to keep their eves on him this year.
He is chuck full of "fightin' Irish"
and when he gets going the feathers
fly. He has had experience in the
Pacific Coast and Southern leagues
as well as serving in the majors
with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Joe has a way of handling play
ers that gets the stuff out of them
if there is a spark to get. He is
hustling all the time and the Den
ver followers should lose no sleep
fretting over their field boss, lie is
still able to jump in and receive a
creditable game and is invaluable in
coaching young pitchers.
Walter J. (Chink) Mattick, new
part owner and player manager of
the Sioux City Fackers, began his
professional .career with the Oska
loosa club in the Iowa State league
under Hamilton Patterson in 1907.
Mattick then was 17 years old. In
1908 Patterson became manager of
the Pueblo (Colo.) club in the West
ern league and took Mattick with
him." : .
During his first season in the
Western league "Chink" was sold to
the Chicago White Sox. but did not
report until the spring of 1909. After
returning to the north from the
spring training trip the Chicago club
released him to Des Moines under
optional agreement. He played with
I
Des Moines m 1909. 1910 and 1911.
the Sox recalling him in the fall of
1911.
Mattick played in the outfield with
the White Sox during the two years
which followed and in 1914 was sent
to the Kansas City American asso
ciation team. In 1915 he went to
Vernon in the Pacific Coast league,
w here he again played under Patter
son for two years. In 1917 Patter
son, Mattick and "Doc" While pur
chased the Dallas club of the Texas
league. White sold his interest in
the club to Patterson and Mattick,
and the latter in turn sold out to
Patterson previous to the starting of
the 1920 season.
Mattick remained with Dallas as a
player until the close of the 1921
season. He had his second fling at
the majors in 1918, when he was sold
to the St. Louis Cardinals, but his
stay there was interrupted by the
early closing of the majors that
season.
Dick Breen The Des Moines
club of the Western league will be
managed during the 1922 pennant
campaign by one of the real veter
ans of the circuit, Dick Breen, for
mer outfielder and catcher of the
Sioux City, Desfoincs and Okla
homa City clubs."
Breen came to the Western league
in 1910 as an outfielder with Sioux
City. After playing there three
years he was shifted to Des Moines,
where he remained as outfielder and
catcher until the middle of the 1920
season, when Jack Holland, owner
of the Oklahoma City club, traded
Catcher Jack Banner to the locals
for him and made him the manager
of -the Sooners, whom he brought
from last place to third in the pen
nant race.
Last year Breen again managed
Oklahoma City and had his team in
the running all the way, Oklahoma
and Omaha being the only clubs
that gave the pennant-winning Wich
ita aggregation . any opposition.
Breen, however, could not get along
with the club owner and became a
free agent last fall. The local mag-
JaLCl Loli'VGl-t
;
QJoe Dunn
nates immediately signed him to re
place Jack Coffey, who had been
here for five years and who is to
manage the Hartford Eastern league
team this year.
Breen is noted for being a heady,
hustling player. He probably will
do part of the catching for Des
Des Moines.
Joe Berger, who piloted Wichita
to a Western league flag last year,
will again be at the helm at Wich
ita this season. Berger has an en
viable record in the Western league
as both a player and manager. He
has led three clubs for Wichita and
has won two pennants, finished sec
ond once and third, once.
As a shortstop he has ranked as
the peer of any in the league the past
three or four years. Last season he
had his best year, finishing at the
top of the shortfielders in fielding
and second in hitting. He is a vet
eran, having been playing since 1907,
and having spent three years in the
majors with the Chicago White Sox.
Wallace H. Smith, the new St.
Joseph managcer, like the other
Western league pilots this season will
be a playing leader. Where he plays,
he says, will depend on the develop
ment of his players, but it probably
will be first base, which he has cov
ered since 1918.
Smith has been in professional
baseball 12 years. He started in 1909
with Calgary of the Western Canada
league, playing third base. In 1910
he was with Calgary and Vancou
ver, graduating to the St. Louis Car
dinals, with which teams he played
in 1911 and 1912. The following
year he played ball with Atlanta,
wearing a Washington uniform in
1914 and Minneapolis togs in 1915
and 1916. Illness and a doctor's ad
vice caused him to hike to Arizona
and play in the Copper league the
next two seasons. In 1919 he ''was
with Salt Lake City, and the last
two years has been back with
Minneapolis. Smith is a printer by
trade and has been wintering in East
St. Louis. He is married and has a
son.
Track and Field
By Frank Loomis, Jr.
World's Champion Hurdler
HOW many track athletes actu
ally know how to train them
1 selves for a championship
meet?
The question of getting yourself
into physical condition plays an im
portant part in
t r a c k athletics.
The grind of
training is severe
if your events are
any distance more
than 220 yards.
The quarter mile
and the half mile
are perhaps more
trying on an ath
lete than any oth
er indoor event.
Take the man
who runs i the
quarter mile race.
If he trains prop
erly, his event
will not be hard
to run, and he will find each 440
yards he runs gradually becoming
easier to him than when he first
started training.
When a good quarter miler is in
condition you will find he does not
have much more training to do
throughout the season, as the com
petition he encounters in the differ
ent meets will carry him through.
At the beginning of the year each
quarter mile will seem like a killing
event and at the same time be very
discouraging. '
Must "Punish" Yourself.
The champion, wTien first starting
training for the 440-yard run, will
overlook this discouragement, for he
knows that punishment will put him
into condition. This word, "punish
ment," is the key to training. The
beginner does not know how to pun
ish himself, and until he learns he
will never succeed in getting into the
best of his condition.
The punishment itself applies to
the runner. When you run a rather
fast 440 yards in practice, there is one
place during that race that you want
to let up your pace a little, on ac
count of getting tired, and the be
ginner will do so. The experienced
man knows better and punishes him
self by probably going faster when
that little inclination tells him to
slow up.
In practice, after doing this a few
times, he will gradually find that this
inclination to slow down lias left
him. When this time comes he is
in the best of physical condition, '
Take Advantage of Defeats.
If an athlete is in god shape phy
sically, he gains confidence enough to
work his frame of mind to a point
where only superiority will defeat
him. .
The quarter mile requires strength,
which can be gathered by training,
speed and experience. To get ex
perience that will help an athlete
must taste several defeats.
Take advantage of each race to
study why you were beaten, then
correct your mistake in the next
meet. Enter races to win and se
cure racing experience, but be sure
to be in condition so you can race
and not iust merely run the distance.

Toledo, O., March 18. (Special)
Nothing but hard luck kept the
Nourse Oil Co., team of Omi.ha
from rolling its way into first place
in the American Bowling Congress
tournament last night.
The team totalled 2888, which is
but 28 pins under top place now held
by the Koors of Dayton with a 2916
score. The Oils went through their
last game with but one miss. They
drew five splits, three of which came
following good pocket hits. Had the
strikes been put over 30 more pins
would have been added and first
place would have been theirs.
Little attention was paid them as
they wound up their first game with
922 but, when they rose to the height
of a 1005 in the second, eyes were
'turned toward Omaha and the crowd
wildly cheered each strike planted in
their third game, which ended in
a 961 total.
R. ciple was the leading wood
gatherer for the Oils, his three-game
total being 645, which gives him an
elegant start on his all event.
The Omaha Alleys five was off to
a bad two-game start with an 852
and 823. It awakened in the last
game and rolled 976.
The grand total of 2,650, however,
is just outside the money.
The Nebraskans have a chance to
add further to their laurels today
when they tackle the pins in the
double: and singles. The scores

Checks Optimism Other
vine, Team Ioki
Good.
New Orleans, Mnh If With lh
mighty Babe Kuth and Bob MrutH
doomed to spend the first six werlt
of the triwn in idleness, all is not
well in the Yankee training camp.
Manager Miller liuggint realiri he
facet his big haiidii-ap right at the
jump, but he is toiling diligently to
meet the emergency ami at the same
time hoping luck will be with him
until the day his to naughty boys
can come home and aid in the assault
on another championship melon,
Down here one hears little optimis
tic chatter from the league title hold
ers. Undoubtedly the team to a man
thinks the nag it at good as clinched,
but the suspension of Kuth and
Meusel has acted at somewhat of s
check on loose talk. Probably it i
well that the Landis decision had
such an effect. Without it the Yanks
might have suffered an aggravated
attack of overconfidence and the re
sult would have been a miserable
failure. At matter! now stand, they
know the first six weeks of the sea
son are going to be tough and they'll
fight.
The Ilugginj' crew hat an excel
lent chance to repeat it admitted. On
paper the New Yorkers appear to
have pitching strength that could
win a flag even if Kuth remained
away throughout the season. How
ever, one can never tell about pitch
ers, but if any manager were given
a chance to select a staff from any
one club in the league he, no doubt,
would put in a bid for Carl Mays,
Sam Jones, Joe Bush, Bob Shawkey
and Waite Hoyt.
The above five won an aggregate
of 103 games in the league last sea
son. If they can come within a half
dozen of that mark this year tl
Yankees will not even be pressed.
Two of them Bush and Jones
should exceed their 1921 figures be
cause they will have the backing of
a pennant-contending team instead
of a tailcndcr.
With his infield of Pipp, Ward,
Scott and Baker a .'certainty even
before training started, Hugglns
naturally has devoted most of his
time to the outfield ' problem. He
himself may not know how he is
going to work it until the season is
almost at hand, but it appears likely
that, pending the return of Ruth and
Meusel, Chick Fewster will cavort
in left, Elmer Miller in center and
Wallie Schang in right. Huggins
prefers to keep Schang for backstop
duty, but now that Roth has drawn
an indefinite suspension, he has no
