JACK WHITE, 25 TODAY, COMES OF
 FIGHTING CLAN

Jack White, the Chicago light weight, is the oldest of'three scrapping brothers who have given .luster to the name of Anehowitz. John AnchOWitz, to give him his really, truly, monaker, was born just a quarter of a century ago today in Liverpool, England. Jack is exactly ten months the senior of his more famous brotheEs Charley White, who made his debut in Liverpool on March 25, 1891 Their younger broth CT, William, decided that there were enough Whites in the, ring, and when he took to fighting adopted the ring name of Billy Wagner.
 Although older than Charlie by a narrow margin, Jack did not take up the Diff game until Charlie had set successes. Charlie started boxing in 1906, and Jackgtook up the game the following year. Jack is five feet five inches in height.a an inch shorter than Charlie.
 The Anchowitz brothers are of Hebrew descent. They came to Amer -ica at an early age and settled in Chi cago. They were looking forward to a business career when Charles i'll health caused him to take up gym nasium work, in the hope of overcOm- ing tendency toward tuberculosis. It was thus by accident that the Whites became interested in boxing. Except for Charles illness, the brothers would probably be engaged in the cloak and suit industry or the cloth ing or push-cart business.
 As a featherweight Jack White was a promising lad and made a good | T showing against some Of the best boys in his division. In 1909 he fought a draw with Johnny Kilbane, holding l the future featherweight champion
 even in ten rounds and again in twelve rounds. He also fought three draws that year with Tommy Kilbane. In 1910 Jack defeated Tommy Kill 1 bane, fought another draw with John ny, knocked out Sammy 'TrOtt in the l third round, and made an excellent 1 showing in a fifteen-round engage | ment with Abe Attel.
 | Jack met Johnny Kilbane again in l Columbus early in 1911, and this time lost the decision to the Cleveland boy | in a. dozen rounds. He then went to
 Memphis and lost an eight-round de- cision to Joe Mandot, the New Or leans boxer. Later that year he de- feated Patsy Kline, the Italian feath-
 erweight, and Tommy Dixon in bouts pulled off in Cleveland.
 Jacks first experience of how it
 feels to be knocked out came early in l 1912, when he mingled with Joe Rivers in the Vernon arena. The
 dusky Californian put the little Hebrew to sleep in the twelfth round.
 Jack somewhat redeemed himself in l the eyes of Los Angeles fans by knocking out Frankie Conley. He put | the Kenosha Italian to sleep in the l twelfth round at Vernon. He then met | Owen Moran in Los Angeles, and won | on a foul from the veteran Britisher in the ninth round. By an,oh coinci- l dence, Jack s brother Charlie had met l Moran and won on a foul in the ninth i round at Syracuse a couple of months l before. Jack then went to New Or
 leans and lost a decision to Frankie 1 Russell.
 Jack Began the 1918 campaign by
 losing to Johnny Griffith at Akron
 He then returned to Los Angeles,
 where he fought two bouts with John ny Dundee. He, lost the first by a
 decision in twenty rounds, and in the l second was knocked out in the ninth by the Scotch-Wop.e Since then Jack 1 has outgrown the featherweight diYi- | sion and has had to fight nghtweights, l and in that class his showing has been
 much inferior to that of Brother Charlie
