The Arrival of .Jabez White Awakens
Interest in the Sport.


The coming of England's lightweight
champion, Jabez White, and his matching
with Jimmy Britt will awaken interest in
international pugilisrn. British champions
try. The first to invade America after
the tabooing of London prize rules fight
ing was Charley Mitchell, Whites present
manager, and in his time he was the clev-
crest in the business. The last tOpnotch
Britisher prior to White to drop on us
was Pedlar Palmer, bantamweight cham
pion, but he was snuffed so quickly by
Terry McGovern he sailed for home in a
hurry. Andrew ToleI was then struggled
into the country champion, but under
cover. He, however, was a no account"
and was easily trimmed by Harry Forbes.
Nothing much is known of Whites hstic
abilities He is in his thirtieth year and
has not done much in the fighting line in
several years. Those that have seen him
go through his fistic stunts say he is Il
.'crackerjack, and that he VIII go around
Britt like a cooper goes around a barrel.
The fight will be held under the auspices
of the Yosemite club, of which Jim COT
froth is manager, and will take place the
latter part of April No American title
hinges on the result of the contest but
should Britt win he will be acknowledged
lightweight champion of England.
The impression has got abroad that
White is a ''hasbeen'' and that his COM
ing to this country to fight Britt is to
gather several thousand American dollafS
then hike back home. question If Char

English champion as being a worthy ana

Whether he lives up to his reputation re-
mains to be seen. In the meantime let US
not Judge him too harshly. Mitchell has
arranged for Owen Moran, the Birming-
ham bantam, to come to America to fight
frankie Neil and other little fellows.
Mitchell considers Moran a. better fighter
than Jem Bowker, who defeated Neil last
