Appearance,

New York. January Si.-Another
heavyweight tournament took its place
among the list OF fizzles tonight at the

boxing. Three of the advertised six

and the two heavyweight bouts Whlch
were put on lasted less than five
rounds. One was stopped in the sec
ond round by the referee. and the
other was ended in the third when one
boxer contended that he had been hit
low.
Vic Mclaughlin. weighing 1914
pounds. and Sailor White. who weighed
in at 1876 pounds. figured in the only
heavyweight bout that was put on as
scheduled. The same pair got together
two weeks ago, and White stopped Nc.

McLaughlin dropped White in the
opening round. and the sailor took the
count of nine before rising He was a
poor second to the Scotchman in both
the first and the second rounds. In the
third White showed up d little better.
though not strong enough to offset
McLaughlin's work. The latter was
guilty of foul work in the second round
when he held White around the neck
with his left hand and pounded away
with his right. He also hit White
while the latter was in d sitting posture
J on the ropes During mix-up IN IN
third round White went to the floor In
APPARENT agony claiming that he had

waved Mclaughlin to his corner and
ended the bout. The referee declared
that he saw no foul blow struck, and
the spectators were divided as to
whether the punch which ended the
bout was foul.

that he knew absolutely nothing about
