R R WALLoP.

Jabez White is one of that rare spe-
cies Of bantam fighters which carries a
wallop and has already given Pal Moore
practical demonstrations of his ability
to hit. White has sent Moore to the
floor on two distinct occasions. and
says that he's going to do it again.
White appears confident, and says that
he is going to beat Moore or die in the
attempt. .
White is being handled by Ed Nc
Mahon, an old-time fight manager, who
has handled many boxers in his day,
among the number being Tom Cowler,
the English heavyweight, Mcmahon
says that in White he has the coming
bantam champion and that when White
takes on Herman within the mex few
weeks, which match has already been
made, White will trim Pete in every
round and grab the title.
White hits with both hands. but his
favortte punch is a right cross, which
he Yields with dangerous accuracy. He
has sent many Of the bantams to the
floor with this wallop, and in addition
to Moore, frankie Burns was also drop
ped by 1t. He also carries a good left
hand, and has a jab that Is calculated
to keep Moore busy watching out for.

The Jeffersons and Floyds still re-
main tied for the leadership OF the
Chickasaw league, though only one
game was played Sunday afternoon at
Hodges field. The Jeffersons scored the
only goal made in the first and only
game when they hurdled the ball
through by butting the ball through the
goal. The second game went via the
forfeit route when the C. B. c. boys
did not show up for this game through
respect to their former mate, Bernard
Conaghan, who died Saturday.
The first game resulted in no scoring
in the first half due to some excellent
passing by the jefferson Cleaners, while
Claypool and Long sent the ball back
to the enemy territory many times
with healthy kicks. In the second half
the Kupferschmidts were on the de-
fensive after the half got fairly started.
The Jeffersons angled for goal with the
ball on the enemy territory for fully
one-third of the half when they had a
corner kick sent sharply to center and
Craft finally bounded the ball through
for a goal.
