bantann~ei1ht OF the world
PORTLAND. Or. April 2e.--From
tho hop fields OF Eastern Washing
ton has come little Chinese ty-
phoon.
His name Is Jimmy Howe.
Jimmy is champion Chinese ban
tamweight OF the world. and is re-
garded as the fastest OF the orien-
tai boxers who have recently grayi.
tated to the ring.
A stolid httle follow and a demon
for punishment. Jimmy seems to
have been born to wear the mitts.
In tho hop fields OF Pasco. whore
he grew up. the youngster used 10
vary the monotony OF work by In
dulsins in shadow bouts. much TO
the amusement OF his staid elders.
He had witnessed a boxing exhi-
bition or two Mt Walla Walla. and
from then on he cherished but one
ambition.
Charlie Jost. veteran heavyweight
OF the Northwest, gave him his
chance. He had noticed Jimmy
shadow boxing IN his excitement
over a fast mill, and took the Chi
nese bantam in tow.
Howe is today as popular among
his white associates as he is with
the boys OF his own race.
His proud old mother, living at
Pasco. and reputed to be worth
close to a million. is very indulgent
with her Jimmy. for the boy always
carries a bank roll large enough 10
