Steps Into Ring Spotlight With One-Round K. 0. of Joe Dundee. \ . Ih/ MKA Service TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 20.—Boys and girls—meet Eddie Roberts. He is the Beau Brutnmell of the ring. Clothes? Say, he has enough glad rags to outfit the Prince of Wales. Lew Cody and Adolphe Menjou all in one night. He’s anew character stepping into the big time spot light of pugilism all because of hts sensational one round knockout of the famed Joe Dundee. When He Started “’Who Is this egg, Roberts?” many a fan is asking since he tumbled the Dundee silks Into San Francisco’s resin dust. Few bad heard of him nationally, but the boy appears to be some shucks on his own stomping ground. Here’s the lowdown: About five years ago a husky youngster walked into a Tacoma gymnasium looking for Jack Connors, the Tex Rickard of the village. The young fellow said his name was Eddie Roberts, and that he’d like awful much to take up boxing. Connors took him in tow and got him a few fights, all of which he won. Then as his skill increased, so did his punching ability. Ho got so he could slap the boys down on almost any or all occasions. He had seventy-one ring battles and ended thirty-one of them by poking h!s opponents silly. Great Hitting Power He is 23 years old, and has been fighting since he was 18. He is well built, of average height. His hitting power comes from two powerful hands, steel wrists and forearms, and great shoulder muscles. He hits with short, snappy punches, but he also is adept at fighting long range, holding off his opponents with his left and then firing the right. He smacks with either hand, but his pet blow is a short left hook delivered at short range. It travels scarcely a foot, but with it he can, and has. knocked men out. Failure to take the game seriously handicapped him about a year ago and he suffered a pair of reverses. But after a furious battle with “Lefty” Cooper, another coast welter, in which he was floored twice in the first round and Cooper was floored five times in the rounds following, ending up for keeps in No. 4. Roberts took on anew interest and swept through the coast welter list impressively. He wound up with his big victory over Dundee. Because he is rangy, clever, and a great counter puncher, he is a hard man to match. Now he Is clamoring for a championship bout with Pete Latzo.
