White Decides
After Judges
Fail to Agree
Frail Milwaukee Lad Holds
and Wrestles Through.
out Contest in the Garden
By W. O. McGeehan

Willie Jackson, Of the Bronx, and
~piasey" Mitchell, the long-legged,
spidery Milwaukee lad, wrestled and
sough. to a tifteen-round drsw at Mad
;son Square Garden last night.
@pirsey' looked decidedly rail. but
10 Was not as fra'l as he looked. for
Isc.son whaied him earnestly, when
ae was not being hugged, but could
not send him to the mat.
In the thirteenth "Pinkey" was on
IN, foor for 8 brief span, but 1t was
psr.ly due to the fact that his long
iegs had become entangled Just at the
moment Jackson caressed him with a
light TO the head.
Whenever "Pinkey" was in danger
or anything like Il, he would wrap his
long arms around jackson and hug
h;ni afectionately. Referee Louis
White warned him repeatedly. but
"Pirkey" seemed unable TO control
these affectionate impulses.
Before the bout the betting was to
that Jackson would win. 1t
looked like good bet any time during
the early part of the bout. Mitchell
looked frail and skinny, while Jackson,
seemed always on the verge Of landing
it. But he never did. That is, he
never landed it in the right place at
he right time. The weights were:
Jackson, 1874; Mitchell. 1873.
Pinkey Handsome Boy
Pinkey is about the handsomest OF
was enhanced by the fact that he was
boxing Jackson, who is swarthy and
sour Individual. Even in the Bronx,
where he hangs his hat, they do not
consider Jackson anything of beauty.
But Pinkey is not going to harm any
OF the welterweights, or the light
weights for that matter. He cannot
sock with enough vehemence. That
vas demonstrated when he bounced
times. Jackson looked at him rather
hurt as though to say, Were you hit
ting nleo''
William A. Muldoon gave his deci
sion for Mitchell. Major A. J. Drexel
Bddle, who was on the Jackson side of
the ring, gave the decision to Jackson.
Louis White, from his neutral position,
called it draw.
White did more work than either of
the fighters. He was prying them
apart in every round. The multitude
verdict seemed more satisfactory than
the bout.
In the fourteenth round there was q
battle on the floor between two of the
customers This detracted all the at
,ention from the ring. It was q good
bout while it lasted-the one outside
the ring.
Mitchell Too Frail
Jackson started TO force things with
thc slender young Westerner in the
hrst round. playing for the body. Sud
denly Mitchell clipped the Bronx per-
son with right TO the jaw. This shook
p Jackson, but he was pressing the
Sight again at the gong.
u sec nd it seemed that Nit
chell could not last long. Jackson
srpe1 right and left to the body,
and Mitchel held on with all his
slender strength. Once Mitchell landed
. hard right 10 the head, senJ;ng
Jackson to the ropes, but Jackson
bounded back and ripped more pun
ishing blows to the body.
Jacason's first punch in the third
vas right under the heart. Il hurt
Ai'chel; but the iIong-legsed Mil
1vs-ukee boy came back with right to
the head. Mitchell began to spear
Jackson with long straight lefts. which
annoyed Jackson, who made 2 bull
rush and forced the visitor TO the
ropes. Mitchell scored with u right 10
re isw as the bell rang.
Jackson forced Mitchell into his own
corr u. rourd and sent
nard right 10 the head. Tney wrestled
considerably. When they were pried
apart "Pinkey's" long left continued to
annoy Jackson, who was playing most
iy 'ar the body. trying to cut down the
tall Westerner.
In the fifth Jackson ripped in a hard
right to the body, and "Pinkey" grunt-
u. "Pinkcy' worked away, but Jack
son uressed in close and again scorad
6n the body. Mitchell was holding
.enaciously and had TO be warned by
me referee. Jackson then rushed and
batsered Mitchell cruelty about the
cody. The bell was welcome sound
.or the long-legged boy.
Mitchell landed some long range lefts
