been going right down the line, scof-
ing knockOuts and demonstrating that
he has a stiff punch He met set
back at the hands of Jack BrittOn,
but from all accounts he gave away
weight to the clever Jack and put up
a fine battle over the marathon route.
At Racine, Wis, he met Mickey Sher-
idan (another Chicago lightweight
who has been doing well about the
west and SOUTH and stopped him in
one round and 50 seconds. For three
minutes of the first round Mickey
made a showing because the White
boy was feeling" him out Mickey
rushed and slugged, but it did not
make Charley open up. He had the
Kid Mccoy expression on his face and
waited his chance The chance came
at the beginning of the second round.
sheridan rushed and was met Dy q
straight left to the point of the chin.
The impact of the man rushing in and
meeting the stiff jolt put him down,
clean as a whistle. Mickey was flat on
his back, but succeeded in getting to
his feet as his seconds howled for him
to stay down. He Immediately went
down again on one knee, which was q
violation of the rules, and at the count
of nine arose, but he was apparently so
dazed then that the referee stopped it
and gave the decision to White, which,
under the circumstances, was proper
Mickey had no chance and the refe-
ree's action prevented any possible
serious ending.
At the same show two very clever
bantams appeared in the semi-final
bout-Artie Armstrong, OF Chicago,
and Young Sinnett of Rock Island, Ill
Armstrong is a duplicate of Eddie
Santry, having that clever boxers style
and expression; while Sinnett is just
the reverse, being more of the Solly
Smith style of fighter, when that great
little battler was meeting such stars
as Johnny Griffin and George Dixon
years ago. Young Sinnett is sure
fighting demon and with a little more
cIeverneSs and experience he will be
in line for Johnny Coulon and Kid VIII
liams.
The postponement of the McGoorty-
Klaus match for one week BY the South
Side A c. Of Milwaukee, brings the
boxing commission into FAVOR once
more. When McGoorty notified the
club that he had cut eye and asked
for a pOStponen'enL the boxing COM
mission was advised of the same. The
secretary Immediately ordered Nc
Goorty to visit Milwaukee and be ex-
amined by the commissions doctor.
Eddie obeyed and il was evident that
a weeks delay was advisable so the
commission granted that extension in
time, but failure to keep the date as
arranged would result in being barred
from Wisconsin for a period of six
months. Therefore the match is now
on the board for September %.
McGoorty received the cut in his
fight with Battling Levinsky, of New
York, known as Barney Williams, Of
Philadelphia.
There are two middleweights anx-
ious to meet the winner of the Nc
Goorty-Klaus match-Jack Dillon and
Gus Christie-also George Chip. Chris
tie is coming along nicely, having
added a win to his credit over Dick
Gilbert the Cincinnati middlewelgnt
who recently beat poor old Mike
Schreck. Gilbert is a pretty husky
boy at that and Christie must have
shown good form to beat him.
