Los ANGELES, Calf. July 2p.-Af
ter having taken the worst of eight
rounds of fighting, Jack White OF
Chicago this afternoon won from
Owen Moran, of England, in the ninth
round of what was scheduled to be a
2O-round battle at the Vernon arena.
Moran was disqualified in that round
for using his elbows.
In all but three rounds Moran had
at least shade the best OF 1t. but
failed to show much OF his old time
cleverness and generalship. White
was willing throughout and refused
to break ground in the face of Nor
ans repeated charges. Moran's de.
termination to use his elbows lost him
the battle. He was warned repeated.
ly by Referee Eyton who at the close
OF the fifth round issued an ultimatum.
Eyton's action In stopping the fight
and awarding the decision to White on
foul was well received.

three runs that looked like enough to
win at that time. The hitting started
about this time though and although
they increased their lead in the fifth,

Motor enthusiasts are trying 10
start the racing game around this
part of the country and now believe
that they will be able to stage a race
on Labor Day. It is said that MANY
merchants Of the city and other
towns in the county through which
the proposed race will be run have
signified a willingness to donate
funds with which to purchase a cnp
and pay the necessary expenses OF
the race.
Several well-known Keokuk drivers
have expressed their intention to
drive and there are several in Fort
Madison and other places In the
county who will no doubt enter
Among the Keokuk drivers who have
said they will drive are Smith Ham.
mill, Chalmers; Ed. tombstone. Ma.
tional; Erickson. Buick and others
equally as we'll known.
The proposed route will be TRAN
gular shaped course and will probably
be started and finished at Keokuk.
The race will take In Keokuk, Fort
Madison and Donnellson, making a
course Of about seventy-five miles. It
is proposed to cover this route four
times, making the race one Of four
hundred miles. Good roads are to be
encountered in this route almost ali

been given out but there seems to be
great deal of talk among the pro.
motors OF the race and it will no
doubt take place as scheduled. Sew.
eral of the cars are FAST and others
Will be stripped and tuned so that
they will all be ready to cover the
ground in good time. The drivers
who are entered from Keokuk are
known to possess ability to get speed
out of the cars they drive and Fort
Madison entrants are said to be just
as eager.
! 1t is likely that the board of sup
ervisors will be asked for permission
to use the roads for the race and their
sanction is sure to be given, say the
promoters. A great crowd of specta-
tors will be drawn to the different
vantage points along the course, but
Keokuk will profit the most on ac.
count of the start and finish being
here
More work will be done by the
committee next week and the race
definitely decided upon, one way OF
