BOXING CONTEST.

The Branch white Controversy -
Branch Challenges White TO a Fin
tsh Fight at los Pounds.
The announcement at the New Haven
Athletic club entertainment last Thursday
evening that the Branch White six round
boxing contest for points was for the ban
tamweight championship of the state was
evidently an error. According to the rules
governing championship contests there can
be no award of the championship unless
there Is q finish fght-in q word, unless
someone is "knocked out"
| As this was not fnish fight, but ak
round contest for points, there could be no
contest for the championship. The weight
limit for contestants for the bantam
weight championship is 105 pounds. As
White, 1t is said, weighed at least five
pounds over the limit, he was not an eligi.
BILE candidate for the championship.
Branch announces his readiness to fight
White for the championship at any time q,
| los pounds.
