Irish" Mahon. the Newark fighter.
handed out big surprise in the final
bout at the Hillside Athletic Clubs
show last night when he gave a neat
and effective licking to Jabez White,
the little English fighter, who so
neatly trounceds Mahon in their, ten
round bout three weeks ago.
Mahon was all to the good last
night. having distinct advantage in
five of the ten rounds, and had White
holding on for dear life all through
the last half of the final round.
Mahon was a vastly improved boy
over the previous fight, and beat
White to every move he made last
night
1t does not detract from Mahon's
victory in the least to say that White
was slow last night. He was sur
prisingly So At no time did he show
the speed and cleverness that made
him such favorite here three weeks
Sgo. After the fight his handlers said
that White had been fighting too
often lately and gone stale There
was certainly something wrong with
him last night.
But on the other hand Mahon
showed such big Improvement last
night over his previous form that the
writer believes he would have gained
the popular decision over White II
the little Englishman had been IN
the same form he was three weeks
ago.
Though nowhere near s fast as
the slambang affair three weeks ago,
last nights fight was good one
and one Of the cleanest ever. seen IN
a local ring. Neither of the lads at
any time attempted any rough stun
II was good clean boxing with Mahon
delivering the goods all the time.
Coached carefully by George Mon
roe, Mahon fought a careful battle.
He Kept close to White all the time
forcing the lighting and stopping
White from using his dangerous long
right swing and snappy uppercnts
that gained him the decision in the
first fight of the two lads. Mahon
kept White away by constant JAP
hing to the face and with healthy
!. wallops to the stomach and pody.
Outside of small trickle OF plood
that Mahon started from White
nose in the second round, and which
kent ND for two rounds, there was not
a mark to show punishment on the
part of either boy after the fight.
In the first round both boys f1ddled
all through for an opening. 1t was
noticeable at once that White was
much slower than in the previous
