Leonard-Dundee Boxing Match Cancelled by City Chief
New Haven Conn Jan 5 A permit for a twenty round boxing match between Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee on January 16 was revoked by Police Chief Smith who said outside arrangements indicated a prize fight violating state law. He cited the arrest of promoter’s local agent Gargullo amid recent saloon raids and a fire at Sabatini’s restaurant linked to New York men, warning the community’s order would be served by cancelling the event.

Controversy Over New Haven Boxing Permit
The Impartial Rooter notes Chief Smith of New Haven revoked Benny Leonard vs Dundee fight permits amid criticism. Promoters faced losses over 10 000 dollars after bonding for Leonard’s camp, while clergy and opponents urged restraint. The piece questions why a Dundee Leonard title bout would be treated as a prize fight and suggests a scientific exhibition with Dundee might be feasible but unlikely to earn a title fight.
