S AN FRANCISCO, May ‘ .—The
results of world’s championship
rights from time to time have
served to show that "expert opinion*'
is not always to be depended upon.
For that matter there have been few
Blue Ribbon affairs in which the
wisdom of the so-called good judges
has not received a rebuke.
In the latest championship event,
the Kilbane-Dundee bout, there were
times when the fellows who thought
they knew’ were on tlie anxious seat.
They feared, that another Terry Mc
Govern-Young Corbett catastrophe
was in store. There were trying
moments indeed for the educated
sports who had bet 10 to 4 right up
to the ringing of the starting bell
and who w-ere loud in their lamenta
tions over the scarcity of short end
spurts.
The outcome of the fight will mean
a boost for young man Dundee and
a corresponding setback for Cham
pion Kilbane. The latter started out
loaded with confidence to the Pllm-
soll mark—carrying a deck load of
fat—but the experiences of the first
few rounds played havoc with his
self-reliance.
Dundee Missed Great Chance.
There are many who state that
Dundee missed the chance of his life
in the Los Angeles fight. Kilbane.
despite his talk of excellent condi
tion and his announcement that the;
Dundee go was largely in the nature
of a trial poise as he intended to in
vade the lightweight ranks, put up;
one of the sorriest showings of his
career. He was palpably tired in
several rounds while Dundee seemed
chuck full of strength and ginger.
Had Dundee waded in more deter
minedly instead of trying* to impress
upon the crowd that he w as equally
as clever as Kilbane, New York
might be boasting a world’s cham
pion at the present tifne.
To the writer Dundee appears in
the light of a youngster who pos- ,
sesses fine natural righting qualifica
tions and does not know how to use
them. He seems imbued with an in
ordinate desiic to feint without hav
ing any object in view. He keeps
ducking when there is nothing to
duck from and he is slow to follow
WjV a.i advantage.
He showed conclusively that he
had good punching force. Some of
the stiffest smashes during the bout
were the body rights with which
Dundee countered Kilbane’s glancing
right handers. instead of piling in
after landing heavily in the manner
described. Dundee straightened up
and feinted and fiddled because Kil- ’
bane feinted and fiddled, and you ran
depend upon it that the New Yorker's 1
tactics suited the fast tiring Kilbane
to a nicety.
Dundee’s Blows Lack Force.
Another fault in Dundee’s methods
is the frequency with w hich he leaps j
in the air when rrYfng to score'writh

of the chin. But whatever his short- 1
comings in other departments of the j
boxing game. Dundee has quick eves
for menacing rights. Not once but
scores of times he converted Kilbane’s
best meant efforts into misses. Ij
have no doubt that the frequency
with which Kilbane’s glove bumped
into nothing but thin air had a dis
couraging effect upon the Champion.
Old fighters used to say that the jar

likely that Kilbane’s failure to find

Opposite Third .National Bank.
By Ed W Smith
C HICAGO, May —Not being
swayed by any prejudices of sec
tion. color or previous condition,
we should figure John Robinson. Bat
Nelson’s hustling manager, in a fine
position to judge of the merits of a
fighter, big or little, and when John
says that Luther McCarty is the real
thing in the heavyweight division we
are inclined to think that John’s opin
ion is worth considerably more than
mere passing mention. Robinson was
in New York the other evening when
Luther lambasted Frank Moran, th*
Pittsburg heavyweight, for ten sharp
rounds, and he got an excellent lire 1
on Luther's ring work. John's opin
ion is all the more valuable since he
isn't friendly with Billy McCarney,
Luther's manager, and hasn't beta
for some time.
* • •
J OHN isn't exactly "all smoked up"
over Luther, but he figures him to
be easily the beet of the white heavy
weights of the day. says his record
proves it and sincerely believes that
the future of a year or so will dem
onstrate it beyond the shadow’ of a
doubt. JJs.en to some of John's
chatter about the big man from Ne
braska: "We had been told for
months that Frank Moran was on -
of the very best of the latest crop of
big fellow c. and the Eastern friends
of Dan McKetric-k. who manage** him.
believed it. Naturally after being
matcher] with McCarty his work was
watched with the closest attention.
• • •
uvrow come* one of the interesting
parts of the whole tale. After
McCarty had bested Moran, and had
done the job up beautifully, as I
thought, he didn't gd a bit of credit.
He was scolded and nagged for not
actually disposing of Moran more de
cisively. and that. loo. in the t£be of
previous boosts to the effect that
Moran was one of the very beJ*t of
them all. Not a bit of consistency
to that line of work. If Moran was
one of the best, then McCarty, after
beating bint, must naturally be one
of the very best. Catch the line of
reasoning?
* * *
uTT) my way of doping it out. Mc-
1 Carty is a man who needs a
lot of actual fighting to keep him fit.
He is a lazy big fellow’ and inclined
to slow down if he isn't punched con
tinually. He couldn’t have been at
Lis best -with Moran for that reason,
because be had been idle for some
little time previous to that encounter.
I watched the battle carefully and
in common with many Other* at the
ringside tried to pick the flaws in
this big fellow’s work. ] couldn't
find many. Of course lie is still a
bit unpolished, but take it from me.
he is picking up the insidp stuff rab
idly and is getting better every time
he works.
• • •
ii P)UR1NG the tenth round I saw’
him pull a Kid McCoy trick that
enlightened me more than anything
about him. Joe Jeannette, who was
handling Moran, seeing the hopeless
ness of the cause, sent Frank out
to do and die. Fran 1 ' sailed in mid
slammed away like threshing ma
chine with both arms going wildly.
Luther would have been a cherry ripe
sucker to have mixed with him right
there. Instead, he stepped in close'
and let go with hi- right exactly onto
Moran's waist line. The punch didn't
travel a foo:, but it sunk in and in
stantly Moran was slowed down to
a walk. T doubt if a dozen people
»n the crowd saw the punch or real
ized its importance. But Moran did.
It was exactly the right thing at the
right time and convinced me fu ...
himself in any kind of company."
that Luther will be able to care for

1T will not be long now before we
A find out what good Tom Jones has
been able to accomplish with Jess
Willard. Around here we figured that
the chief fault with the tal] man from
Kansas was* his disinclination to get
out in the morning and do road work
Jones saw the point instantly and
announced that if he got to handling
Jess he would «how him the error
of his ways. He will get the test
the middle of this month, when lie

into by Gunboa' Smith, x>ne <>f the
toughest of the real tough trial horse*

battle. •
JENNINGS HOPES O’LEARY
BATS ,400 WITH CARDS
ST. LOUIS MO., May
Hughie Jennings is hoping tint
Charlie O’Leary will bat .400 w ith, the
Cardinals this year.
"O’Leary is one «»f the finest fel
lows I ever met and was one of til*
finest players to get along with I eve
beard of. He could not succeed very
well any more In the American
League, but he has every chance in
the National, and 1 do not sec anv
reason why be should not be a suc
cess."
It is a matter of record that play
ers. after leaving the American
League, break into the National and
hang up good batting averages. Bat
ting was always O’Leary’s wean
point, but a change of scenery may
help him. Likewise have players from
the National appeared in the Ameri
can League and surpassed ali previ
ous batting performances.

‘ The Red Sox may win the pennant
again this year, but it wid require
