In action White is apt to stick
out his head, inviting a left hook
or swing, and then, drawing back,
permit the blow to Craze his nose.
When his opponent is off balance
he brings up the right, not more
than eight or ten inches, and if it
lands on the chin, "the Dixie Kid"
is soon counting his money.
White blocks few blows, depend
ing upon backing away and side
stepping. With his hands down,
head and body seemingly unpro.
tected, he is always in position to
counter. Like Walcott, Johnson,
Cans and Langford, he does his
best fighting by countering, not
leading.
And what do you think? His
name doesn't appear in the Police
Gazette sporting annual or Tom An
drews' record book for 1910, save
as an opponent Of fighters whose
records are given.

nection with the club, after a term
of office lasting only a month.

Kearns yesterday.

Joe Reager of the East Side club

VEL TERWEGHT CHAMPION Of THE WORLD SINCE 1904,
DIXIE KIDS" NAME DOESN'T SHOW IN RECORD BOOKS

Soon afterward White fought
in the east, appearing in Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and other
cities. He worked at making lit
tie ones out of big ones three
years, but he insists it was false
imprisonment. When released he
resumed fighting. and ''came
back" without trouble. Last year
he showed in New York, and the
eastern critics set the stamp of
approval upon him.
To prove his courage, White
tackled the Langford person, only
to be put out. He tried it again
with the same result, and then
decided Sammy was too formid-
able. These defeats are the only
ones in his record.
Draws with Jack O'Brien, Young
Peter Jackson and Larry Temple,
all heavier men, and victories over
number of men bigger than he,
show that this dusky scrapper is no
false alarm. He has been fighting
since 1899, and has 65 battles be-
hind him. OF this number 81 were
won over the k. o. route.
With Jack Johnson heavyweight
champion, Sam Langford the best
middleweight in the business, "the
Dixie Kid weller boss. and Young
Pierce throwing scares into the
bantams, the fight situation Is un-
der decidedly dark cloud these
days.
Whites favorite punch is short
right uppercut, following a left
hook or swing which misses. 1t Is
a blow Jack Johnson might be
proud of, for White has 1t down to
a positive science. He also has a
left jab on the Cans order, and a
left hook that carries steam.

fight for the championship of

The locals led to the end of the
first half but slowed up enough in

to nose them out by one point. The
inability of the South Centrals to

ositions were made by some over
jealous members to have certain well
known candidates elected to honorary
membership. This provoked the res
olutions declaring that the organiza-
tion is not in politics, and, incidental
ly, abolishing all honorary member
ships after July 1st.
Before the adjournment of the Co
lumbus convention each member took
pledge to secure at least one new
member during the coming year, and
it is expected that by the time the
next convention is held at Gulfport
one year hence, the organization>will
have on its membership roll practical
ly every travelling man in the state.
The Mississippi Travellers also
pledged to the state board of health
their active support and hearty CO.
operation in the statewide campaign
of education on sanitation and hy-
giene, and for the eradication of con-
tagious. infectious and communicable
diseases. DR.. Walter s. Leathers, di-
rector of the board of health cam
paign, delivered an interesting ad-
dress before the body. and compli-
nented the members on securing the
passage of the sanitary hotel law.
One of the lengthiest discussions Of
the session was on the mileage ex-
change ticket sold by the Mobile &
Ohio road. Mr.. J. NJ Bell, general
passenger agent of that system, made
an address setting forth the reasons
why this ticket is sold. and relieved
the travelling men Of a great deal of
the prejudice they have heretofore
cherished against it.
During the past year the association
has induced, the Southern Railway,
Mobile & Ohio and Queen C Crescent
to sell at all stations the interchange
able excess book, which is of great
convenience to members who carry
sample trunks.
The association will continue to
make it's headquarters in Jackson, and
all of the work of the organization
will be directed from this city. Th-re
was much regret among the members
over the refusal of Secretary Jas. E.
Noble to serve another term, but a
splendid selection was made in chOOS-
ing Mr.. Jas. s. Cooper. of this city,
one of the charter members, and an
active and energetic worker as his
successor.

Mr.. Jones' method Of planting is
different from that Of other farmers,

rience has shown. His corn is heavy,
weighing fourteen pounds more to the

Jones, "and when the order would be
for five or more bushels they have
written bacg telling me they
were overcharged for the corn. The
average weight is fifty-six pounds to
the bushel, but my corn averages
sixty pounds. That's where pur-
chaser of my corn think they are
overcharged.

added an ear every year for fourteen
years. and believes he will increase

ter from a scientific standpoint as

tells the story of his achievement as
follows:

one ear, taking the ordinary corn

MISSISSIPPI Travellers
TO KEEP OUT OF POLITICS

Jackson, Miss, June 2S.-At the an
nual convention in Columbus last Sat
urday the Mississippi Travellers adopt
ed a resolution declaring that their
organization is a non-paftisan and
non-politica' affair, and pledging the
entire membership to this policy.
In other words. the knights of the
grip want it distinctly understood that
they must not be considered political
missionaries; that they do not intend
to travel the highways and the byways
Of commerce preaching the political
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-06-28

propaganda of any office-seeker, nor
do they intend to allow a spirit OF
factionalism to creep into the proceed
ings at their annual convention or
special meetings.
This action is of more than passing
significance in view of the fact that
there are now nearly 900 members
enrolled by the Mississippi Travellers,
and an effort will be made to double
the membership during the coming
year.
At the Columbus convention prop
