Mike Dundee, himself an Italian like Johnny, has had over 80 battles and has never been defeated, nor even knocked off his pins. He came from Italy when a child and settled in Rock Island with is parents. Dick Curley, his manager, offered to back him to the extent against Eugene Criqui, the French Champion, when he came over here for the battle with Johnny Kilbane, to the extent of $20,000 to $50,000. Mike has beaten some very good boys, among them Andy Chaney, who was contender for the title. Few of them want his game. At present he has a challenge and forfeit up to meet Johnny Dundee for the title. He is 24 years of age and has a wife and two children
