CROSS AND white IN draw
Both Give and Take Plenty of Hard
Punches-Leach Forces the
Fighting

New York, March 26.-Leach Cross
and Charley White tried every punch
they had any knowledge of on each
other last night at Madison Square
Garden, and, though knockult r7f1fhes
were always on tap, the men were there
at the end of ten rounds. 1t was a
draw. White landed the cleaner punches,
but Leach evened up the score by a
tireless and persistent attack. He
didn t take back step throughout the
fight White fought cool, deliberate
bout, as he always does, but the crowd
did not like his plan of battle at all.
They yelled for Charley to put little
more action into the fray, but these
yells only seemed to make him little
more cautious.
While carefully avoided mixes with
Cross, and in this he was wise. He had
the better of it when he stood off and
pecked at Cross with left uppercuts.
Cross took many hard whack on the
jaw as he bored in to get close for a
right handler. Whites nose was cut,
his lips were red and cut appeared
over his right eye at the finish. Leach g
right ear was puffed bit, and his Sec
onds rubbed it al during the fight.
Cross crouch seemed to spoil the eff
fectiveness of most of Whites we'll
meant blows. At that every punch he
landed stung Cross, but the dentist al
ways managed to repay the compliment.
