KNOCKOUT ROUTE
Is Put Out by White in Second
Round-"Young" Sinnett
Gets a Draw.

Racine, Wis, Sept. 16.-Charlie
White stopped Mickey Sheridan As
seconds after the bell started the sec
ond round of the wind-up on Racine's
big boxing card last night He did
not knock him out, except technically.
He dropped Mickey with a straight
left to the chin while they were in a
sharp miXup. Mickey went down heav-
lily, put the fighting spirit was still
there. He clamored to his feet at the
four count, then dropped to one knee
again when he heard Fred Gilmore
shout to take the count He glared
saVagely at White while waiting to get
up, but when he clambored to his
feet was decidedly unsteady.
White started right after him, but
when Referee Haggey observed the
unsteadiness of the Irishman, he
stepped between the men and called a
halt. The crowd yelled, Let them
fight" and Harry Gilmore, Sr., shouted
to Haggey that Sheridan was able to
continue. But Hagey had stopped it
and his word was law.
a few seconds later Sheridan was
revived enough to protest, and danced
around the ring to show the crowd that
he was all right. Mickey was a sadly
disappointed ringman when he started
to his dressing room.
Mickey might have been able to stick
a little longer, but the chances are
White would have stopped him cold
in the second round. Charley was all
the class of the pair. He is a won
derful little fighter and Sheridan
never will be able to hold his own
with him.
Round sheridan was first to lead
with left to the stomach and thew
vent into a clinch. On the break
White countered to the head. but
Mickey rushed and held his own in
fierce mixup. Sheridan then stabbed
left to the stomach and got a right
to the head in return. They stood
head to head and slugged and clinched.
When they broke White swung a left
to the head and Mickey rushed Char
ley clear across the ring without land
Ing. He repeated il in the opposite
direction and slugged White in the
wind, while Charley came back with
sim left jab. Sheridan kept walk
ing after White, but neither did any
noticeable damage. White appeared TO
be sizing up his man. AS the bill
rang Sheridan hit White below the
belt and the referee cautioned him
1t was an even round.
p Round II-Sheridan rushed as tbev
came up and tried for the body. bur
white blocked it, and then put two
Iefts to the head. Immediately after
that he dropped Sheridan with a left
TO the head and Sheridan took the
nine count. When Sheridan went
ooWn he was groggy and started IN
get up at the count of four. His sec-
onds told him to stay down. and he
dropped to the canvas for the count of
nine When Sheridan got up he was
somewhat groggy, and Referee Hagev
refused to let the men continue amid
the loud bowls of the crowd. Hagev
was obdurate and chased the fighters
from the ring.
