That a good left hook and a
right cross will do more toward
getting the money than a. college
education has been demonstrated
by Charlie White, the Chicago
lightweight.
Charles left hook Is one OF
the marvels OF the pugilistic age
and the money this apparently
frail lad has made with 1t is
cause for further wondermeBt.
White doesn't know anything
about Calculus or higher mathe-
matics except where gate receipts
are concerned but he surely does
know how to time his punches to
set his opponents on the canvas
for the ten count.
This youngster has developed
the famous left hook to a state
not far short of perfection and it
has carried him from the ranks
of the mediocre up to creditable
showings against two champions
Willie Richie and Freddie
Welsh.
Five or six years ago when
White was thin little hid
around O'Connells gym in Chi
cago, old Bill O'Connell, who run
the place, saw possibilities In
him. But White at the time was
primarily budding boxer. O'Con-
nell saw that he needed a punch
to get anywhere among the fea-
therweights of the time--he was
feather then. So the left hook
was taught him and now White
is one boxer who has made the
blow really famous.
When he began he started the
hook about foot and a half
from his opponents jaw. He
"telegraphed" every time. II was
soon apparent that he had to
shorten 1t up or never succeed
with it.
The process of shortening took
several years. First IL came down
to Is and IL inches, then de-
creased finally to where Ii now
is-six inches. Charlie doesn't
start the hook until his foes Jaw
is only six inches away from the
mitt. This assures accuracy and
gives just as much of a wallop as

CLAFL||V ACQUIRES
AGENCY FOR STUTz
Prominent Motorcycle Dealer
Will Hereafter Handle the
Well-known Automobile.

Lon Clafin, who has been selling the
Indian motorcycle in Utah for the last
four years, has decided that he can
handle an automobile in connection
with his present business. BY Mr.. Claf-
I'm taking On the automobile it gives
him most everything on wheels, as he
handles bicycles, motorcycles and auto
mobiles.
Mr. Clahin went east in November
and went through a number of ANTONIO
bile factories, as well as trying out a
number of different makes of cars, and
after giving them all thorough tryout
he decided to take the Stutz agency for
Utah.

pounds per barrel, making the total
load 300 pounds over three tons.
Previous to tho installation of mo-
tor. truck the Wagner company had
maintained a transportation depart
ment which Included twelve horses and
four men. This service the truck dis
placed and it only required the serv-
ices Of one man. On the up grade the
truck was able TO haul a % per cent
greater load than that hauled by tho
twelve horses, and on the down grade
1T hauled the same load. The cost of
hauling was cut in two and the serv-
Ice was far more satisfactory, for
whenever it became necessary the
truck could be worked overtime with
out injury, while there was q much
greater limitation on the amount of
work that could be done in o day by
the teams. Moreover, the speed with
which round trip could be made was
greatly increased, for the truck, ex~
cept on extra heavy grades, was capa-
BILE of a speed, when loaded, of about
twelve miles an hour. Whenever it
was necessary TO temporarily lay off
the truck the expense was far less than
when the horses were not working, for
the only loss suffered was the interest
on the money invested.
It was also found that the truck was
able to get over roads which would
have been impossible for teams, and
that in no case did the truck get stuck
more easily than teams would have, ex-
cept on stretches of dirt roads TO
which there was no bottom.

being 1903 miles per hour, The general
average of these fifteen races for the
2S62 miles covered was very close to
81 miles per hour. Only two other

when considered that tho last seven
races in which the Stutz entered were
won consecutively. The car ls not only
