There ale times in the boxing game
when a manager can be too all-nreu
smart There are times when they over
reach themselves and scramble the hnan-
Cial eggs beyond all hope.
Do YOU remember James c. Moffat in
the ring? OF course, you don't. Out II
Won date back little way you will smile
with satisfaction when you read the
name of Jack Moffat. the old north side
middle-weight, who was one of the hard
est and by long odds the most saus-
factory scrapper we had around mere In
the old days.
Jack was named James c. long before
he had any voice in the matter at all
and because he found that his folks OBJ
jected some to his boxing he decided the
first time he was introduced in the ring
that he would call himself Jack Maths
or something of that sort. But the an
nouncement bungled and he became JACK
Moffat.
II wasn't long before Jack became
ouite a fellow around Chicago. but his
little story has to do with the days when
he wasn't so much. as Jack himself
freely admits
George RYAN, the Milwaukee middle
weight, was to have boxed somebody IN
the beer city-they call 1t cream city, Tor
much the same reason. perhaps-one

last moment The promoter wired to
Chicago for a substitute and Al Shos-
bree then one of the best boxers we had
around here, got hold of 1t.
He was in no shape to take 1t himself,
but he sought Moffat.
"uere's a purse of $3.50 for you, Al
said. "I'n be your manager and we IL
try and make Ryan split 1t. What do you
say?"
but I can't beat Ryan," Moffat pro
tested modestly for at that time he didp
oyerestimate himself or have anything
approaching a swollen Uranium.
ITO the dogs with that; It's the coin
we want" answered Shrosbree. who pro-
ceeded to wire for the match. He got It,
and with Moffat and few friends they
boarded a train.
RYAN kicked about q split Of the coin.

he said. 5000 and $50" Nothing doing
with Shrosbree. He insisted the fight be
n draw IL both men were there and also
a draw IL the police interfered. You see.
in those days the referees gave regular
decisions in Milwaukee.
RYAN and the promoter finally agreed
to this on Moffat's plea that he wasnt
in shape and had taken the night on
tventy-four hours notice. Well they
went at II, and sure enough. Mcnnt, VINO
hadn't done a minutes training for the
match. was completely spent at the emo

game, tried his best, but at the emo OF

OTHER FIGHT GOSSIP

Will the stout left hook of a sturdy
little Yiddish boy win the worlds light
weight championship?
J'ncrrinS in aim. and deadly in eXecu-
ton. the port-side punch of Charley
White, Chicago's distinguished citizen
from the ghetto. is beginning 10 strike
terror to the hearts Of all lightweight
contendcrs. and so formidable is this
wallop that many close students of ring
craft freely declare it will ultimately
bring back the championship to this
country.
Seven kpockouts since the first of the
present year, and newspaper decisions
over half a dozen challensers, is the
impressive record to the credit of the
White left hook. It is not surprising.
therefore. that other title aspirants are
beginning to pause and ponder.
Not since the days when Terrible Terry
McGovern was wont to topple over all
opponents with smashing left and right
swings has a lightweight registered such
startling series of fatefui *. O.'s as
Charley White has made within the
present year.
The White hook is easily the reisning
sensation of the age in pugilism. 1t is
Jewish stars ring equipment, as previ-
ously to 1915 White was considered
merely an average lightweight. with
skill, but without punch. His rather
frail physique. too. made ring sharps
skeptical of his ability to stand punish
ment Body blows caused him TO squirm
and break grohnd. as every one who saw
Ad wolgast beat White with stomach
punches will recall. In the last twelve
months. however. White has grown
stronger. and with increasing strength
his punch has developed.
The following summary OF Whites ring
achievements since the first of the year
will make it apparent why other light
weight title aspirants have grown to re-
spect the White punch:
kNOCk-OUTS.
March 1s-SaNmy R0bideau. one

May fiddle Murphy, eleven rounds,

June Is-Younx Brown. one round.

september 2I-GiIbert Gallant, i've

In addition to the foregoing White Is
credited with newspaper decisions over
Leach Cross and Charley Thomas. while
the press verdict was divided in his en-
counters with Jimmy Duffy, Milburn
Saylor and Ted Lewis.

They further contended that in making
the contest at catchweights Welsh en-

pounds over White, The arguments that
followed this engagement resulted In q
