'Britton Is in Class of His Own
So Says Clever Charley White

grueling rounds. AS usual thing,
a beaten man does not care to say
much of complimentary nature
about the boy who trimmed him, but
this does not hold good in the case
of White, who is eminently fair and
even enthusiastic at times in DISCUSS
ing the fighting strength of the North
Slider. He goes as far as to say that
BrittOn stands quite alone as a de-
fensive fighter and classes up with
any of them in other lines Of ring
work. Which is some praise, indeed,
for Charley has boxed the best of
them and should know whereof he
speaks
HERE are few of the nice things
II Charley said about Jack in dis
GUESSING the New Orleans battle with
me the other night: 1T is next to
impossible for anybody to cop Brittou
with the right hand and about as
difficult a task to land soHdly on him
with the left. He has the strangest
style and the most effective | have
ever seen. BY a little trick of foot
work he Is almost constantly out Of
range and never where you expect
him to be the next instant. As he
leads at you he shifts from one side
to the other in a puzzling fashion,
making you miss your counters and
generally keeping you always off bal
anCe.
nNOW, as a general thing, the
shifty boxer who goes away
with the punch he lets fly is not an
effective hitter. Not so with Brit
ton however. as he can sting you
as hard as any lightweight I ever
met-sting you and at the same time
get away from your return by a mere
shift Of the feet He never presents
fair target to an opponent and,
try as / would, round after round
couldn't begin to get my right hand
anywhere near him. 1t is truly won
derful. l thought / could give most
anybody In the business a boxing
lesson. but, believe me, he handed
out one to me that was a peach
~ rs mystery to me how any
body can keep Jack out Of the
mpionship If he gets a chance 10
battle for it. | am speaking now Of
the men who can make 1873 pounds.
for Jack not only can do that and
be strong, but he did ii in New or
leans. He's strong. knows everything
there Is to know, can punch like d
fiend and surely is game, so why
shouldn't he be a real Champion
They'll find out before long that it
was no disgrace for me to lose TO
him, not only because Of the 7-pound
difference in our weights, but for
other reasons. Tab this in your hat
band"

either Repentative Carlin, of Alex

Committeer Representative Hay
may be asned to this committee
by the sPer.
There y be seven members of
this CONNIE, four from the Demo-
cratic sidewo from the Republi-
cans, andy from the Progressive,
according what is said at the
Capitol. sI quite likely that Rep
resentatiyearrett, of Tennessee,
will be p. chairman, although
there is assibility that if Repre-
sentative Gin or Hay go on 4he
committesher may be chairman.
Gossip Gates that Mr.. Hay is
most lilielo be asked to serve.
During thtbate on the resolution
in the Hoia day or two ago, Mr..
Hay wasast pronounced in his
stand noHy for a board and
thorough itigation into the Null
hall chargout he also insisted up
on the migration being made at
once, in 3 that the integrity of
the Housembers might be sus-
tanned. w there was more or less
dispositionwn on the part of some
of the nlers for delay, Mr.. Hay
insisted thf anything was to be
done, it sll be done quickly.
1t is redzed that this is not q
position N any one is seeking.
The dutIelving into the affairs
of the vas House members is
not likelype pleasant one, but
at the saline, it is not believed
that any;nber whom Speaker

CHIEF ASSAULTED.
Head of DanyilIe Police and Attorney
Have Brisk Bout.

Danville, Va, July 10.-Chief OF
Police James Z. Bell was assaulted
Yesterday morning while at his desk
+, in his private office in The courthouse
!:by Attorney Roy c. Coleman, in the
presence of the Mayor and two other
city officials, who were able to sep
arate the combatants before any SER
ious damage had been inflicted. Cole
man was unmolestei during the day,
but warrant charging him with as
i'sault was issued in the evening, but
has not been served, his whereabouts
being unknown.
Coleman entered the courthouse
and requested the Mayor to produce
"a search warrant used by officers
raiding u negro's house on July 4
and which Coleman has openly
charged was not issued until after
the raid had taken place. The Mayor
Withdrew from his Office to that occu
pied by the chief of police, in order 10
comply with the request Coleman fo.-
lowing him.
! AS the chief produced the docu-
ment, Coleman, it is alleged, declarsa
that the warrant had been issued af-
ter he had made his charges against
the police officers making the raid.
Mr.. Bell quietly replied that the doc
ument was in the officers posses
sion before they entered the dwell
ling. "Oh you'd say any:1ng,' re
torted Coleman, and as the chiaf rose
from his seat. protesting against the
insinuation, Coleman struck him full
in the face. The two grappied and two
or three blows were passed. before
the others in the room threw tncm-
selves between the two men. Coleman
sustained slight abrasion upon the
cheek, but the officer showed 10 signs
of bad usuage. Coleman, after wash
ing himself in another office in the
courthouse, was allowed to leave
without being summoned or bonded.
Mayor Wooting has declined to sit on
the case because he is related to
Coleman. Police Justice c. r.
Raine will preside at the trial.
