Charley White Judges Prize Fights

ALSO DIPS INTO POLITICS

All three of them had ringside seats
at a recent fight in New York. One,
born New Yorker, had brought the man
from Herkimer county and the other from
the fashionable section Of Fifth avenue
as his guests to boxing club. Neither OF
the visitors had ever witnessed a boxing
match.
When the main bout was announced the
man from Fifth avenue evinced an I'M
usal interest in the refree.
What is this to be-some sort of a
joker" he asked of his host.
Joke; what do you mean-joke?'

You fellows must be blinded by the

in America. He is not an art commits
sioner and he is not the politician that
goes to Herkimer."
IF you don't think he is,' the guests
spoke up in unison, you can win little
supper from u.s."
who Loses Betf
Through the aid of newspaper man
the trio met Charley White after the bout
was over and they are still in doubt as
to who shall pay for the meal
Charley White is not only the best
known referee in this country and the
only American who ever refereed at the
National Sporting club in London. but he
is also an active worker for the demo-
cratic state committee and is one of the
best judges of pictures in New York.
You didn't think made my living out
of refereeing?' he asked the man who
had never known him in his other roles.
There was a time when 1t might have
been all right. but 1 would hate to depend
upon the refereeing of boxing matches
nowadays for my livelihood"
At an art exhibition there is nothing
suggestive of the prize ring about him
and he discusses the various pictures with
all the technical thoroughness of a Eu-
ropean critic. Among those who know. 1t
is said that Charley White is one of the
best appraisers of paintings, both as to
financial and artistic worth. In this coun-
try. He has acted as the purchasing
agent for the greater part OF many Of the
best Individual collections In New York.
Any time there is a sale OF fine paintings
you can rest assured that Charley White
will be present. II there is a bargain In
sight some big collector will reap the
benefit of his astuteness. He gets a com
mission for making these purchases and
occasionally he steps out and buys an old
master on his own hook for speculative
purposes.
