SPORTING COMMENT

White and Duffy boxed a while
back and some of the Buffalo
papers called the affair a draw,
although White always will claim
that he won 1t. Buffalo promoters
might do well if they lodged the
White affair for a time; other
wise they may soon be looking
for still another card. Duffy is
from Lockport, but he is one Of
the greatest fistic attractions
Buffalo ever had.
z UNNY thing about local cards
of this kind. Boxing in a
town that has such local favor
ite is always good, especially
when the card" is engaged in
the main event. Racine, Wis,
never took much interest in fight
ing of the polite sort until Mat
ty McCue was developed. Mil
waukee likewise has had It's big
cards in Charley Neary. Ad VOL
CAST, Jimmy Clabby and a few
others. Even city Of the size
Of New York likes the local men.
Terry McGovern once was one
of the biggest attractions there
and he boxed almost every week
to packed houses for a whole
season.
M ANY times a good boxer who
NA is unpopular is one of the
best cards that could be obtained.
Almost as many people will go
to see a man beaten as will turn
out to see a favorite win--strange
trait in human character show
ing right there. Lots and lots of
people like to see a much touted
man dOWned

.HEY think they've solved all

the mystery there is 10
Charley Whites Nheavy
punching ability down around
Buffalo. N. Y. AT least two or
three Of the smart critics of the
New York boxing center have it
figured out, and they sum IL up
in a few words. IT'S the unex-
pected with Charley White that
makes him dangerous" they say.
"As a matter of fact, he is the
man who does the unexpected at
all times. He wins, not by lead
ing and landing on an opponent.
but by waiting for the opponent
to lead, and then knocking his
head off with an unexpected
counter"
HERE may be a whole lot to
this discovery" but it is
certain that there is nothing new
about this system of working.
The Buffalo critics watched
Charley's work against Joe Kan
sas the other night. and though
the Chicago boys speed was
something marvellous, and all but
baffled the eye to follow the
punches he landed on the luckless
Kansan, they think they have
solved the mystery. We've seen
Charley in several contests, and
three in which he knocked his
men out, but in all of these cases
he did the leading himself, and
didn't wait for the other fellow to
come at him.
THE boxer who puts all of his
force behind a punch that
lands on an opponent coming
toward him certainly can get ter
rife power to his punch-more
power than he could leading at
man who at the time may be
going away or slipping his head.
That's the chief use of the feint
in boxing--to make a man do
something you want him to do.
Bring him toward you, drawing
certain lead at the same time,
and then whack him--that's the
system. But 1t takes a clever.
brainy boxer to do 1t. The av-
erage boxer to-day feints because
he has seen stars feint. Usually
he doesn't know what he is doing
it for as far as actual effect Is
concerned.
w HITE has put an awful dent
w in the boxing game in Buff
falo by being honest enough to
whip one of their stars. Joe
Kansas was one of the big cards
in the Bison City and twice now
Charley has knocked him out.
AS a result Joe isn't the strong
drawing card he once was and
the Buffalo promoters are already
casting about for some star to
take his place.
THEY still have Jimmy Duffy,
the elongated lightweight,
left, but White already has his
eye on James and has made up
his mind to treat him about as
harshly as he treated Kansas IL
Duffy will give him a return go.

fully for the future. My information
is that the team has been none too
well prepared for run of hard luck
of this character. Besides, it is not
unlikely that some of their older
players will before long drop out of
the game and other and younger
blood will be needed to fill in. Co.
lumbus would do well to start
searching for young players to fill
the positions that will no doubt be
left open by older heads.
At the same time it is worth while
pointing out that after all there need
be no great surprise felt on the part
of the sporting public If the Colum-
bus team had lost some games this
season without having the alibi OF
injuries to account for the defeats.
I have spoken before of the great
Improvement being shown by va
rious teams of the South, particu-
larly the college teams, and it stands
to reason that Columbus can no
more stand pre-eminent in basketball
forever than can the Athletics, Har-
ward. Cornell or any other teams In
their specialties.

TX YELL, well, we'll! The Discov-
Nv erers have "ccame back!"
Told you they were laying
for the Athenians in the trifiing mat
ter of that return game in Athens
what?
And now that they did make an
even split of it with Georgia, what
about this old Southern champion
ship business? It's a pretty badly
balled up skein of yarn.
Having broken even with all three
of the possible contenders-Atla
Birmingham and Georgia-and not
lost the complete series to anybody,
it would seem that Columbus is as
much entitled to tie claim for first
honors as anybody else. And, tech
nically speaking, that is about the
size and shape of the whole propo-
sition.
Still, it must be borne in mind
that Georgia did defeat Atlanta
and on the latter's court-and did
not suffer a defeat in return, as is
the historical record between Co.
lumbus and Atlanta. But that may
only have been because no return
game was played between Atlanta
and Georgia, for the friends of the
Atlanta team claim that their bunch
was off-edge and caught mapping the
night they were placed "hors de
combat by the Athenians.
Again, Georgia did not play the
strong Birmingham team at all, and
we have no means of knowing what
would have been the outcome of a
match, or a couple of them, between

latter defeated Georgia in Athens;
and Georgia did defeat Atlanta on
the latter's own court, which was
more than the DISCOVERIES could do:
from which facts we argue that the
record of the Red and Black team
Is a shade better than that of Co.
lumbus, or any other Southern
team.
But when we come to study the
mere wins and losses of the teams
we find it impossible to declare a
championship for any team.
1t may be argued that inasmuch
as Atlanta, Birmingham and Co.
Iumbus each lost three games dur
ing'the season, whereas Georgia only
lost two, therefore the latter is en-
titled to the laurel; but, as before
pointed out, Georgia only played one
game with Atlanta and none at all
with Birmingham; and it is rather
probable that she would have lost
three had she played these extra
three games, and then her record of
losses would have been the same as
that of the other three teams
Entirely apart from all champion
ship argument it is due the Discov-
erers to say in no mincing way that
they are entitled to very great credit
indeed for the way they stuck in the
game and won out over Georgia in
the very last game of their season
on strange court.
Fuller reports from Columbus
show plainly that the team fell from
grace almost entirely because of
numerous severe injuries suffered in
the last couple of weeks by the play
ers, among whom there was hardly
one sound man in the lot Now, Of
course, no man and no team can per-
form at best form when all are
crippled up, and the real wonder is
that they got through as well as they

Fl. L. Bessessn of Harvey has an
nounced that he will be a candidate
for lieutenant governor. For the past
number Of years this man Bessessen
has had a bad case Of "ofiice itch,'
and about the only qualification he
has for the office he seeks is that he
wants an office. He was fortunate
enough to break into the state senate
at one time, and since then he has
tried to be a congressman, and now
he is out for lieutenant governor. In
our opinion Bessessen is one of those
"peanut" politicians who v has
much of a conviction of his own, but
is always willing to clamor for the
popular side of every question in or

The great temperance movement is

or other to suppress the liquor traffic
In Paris, France, a bill is about to be
introduced in parliament to suppress
the opening Of any more saloons in
France. This is only the opening
wedge toward national prohibition in
a country where wines and liquors are
most universally used. It only goes
to show which way the wind is blow
ing so far as the liquor question is
concerned. France consumes each
year more alcoholic wines and liquors
than any other country on earth, and
when they begin to "hedge" along
the saloon line it speaks volumes
against the liquor traffic.
