PHILADELPHIA, August 3.-One fight

uncovered in the white hope tourney

Athletic Club.
Villa m Bass of Richmond, Va, SIX feet
six inches tall. Weighing 2lo pounds. and
but twenty -four years old. was the sem
sation.
Bass defeated Billy Haas of Brooklyn
i'm the preliminary bout, and made JACK
round after the semi final bouts. BY these
victories he won his right to meet Joe
Page of Girardville, in the final pout'
which will be decided Saturday night III
connection with a special show.
Bass came here from Richmond. Va,
and his showing was remarkable, II II Is
true. as was stated. he had never seen
boxing contest nor a boxing glove before
last night.
He was surprised when told in answer
to an inquiry that he only had TO hsht
one man at time. His idea of scrap
was to pile into the crowd and the sur

He was more than surpr Sod when told
he had TO wear gloves He was eager to

of ring ethics was borne out by Ills ac

The success which marked Becker S

that there is no particular place for a

He worked like veteran, had plenty

pitched a mos. effective game against

any kind of pitching.
But Becker is not raw amateur. He
has had some professional experience.
At least enough of it to take the rough
edges off of his work. Though a mere
boy he pitched in the Tr-State League
three wears ago and made d favorable i'm

Pittsburg paid $500 for Marty OToole
and yet it is safe bet that when this

showing than did Becker. who was taken
out of an amateur league.
