the docks for some time Charlie White
of Chicago beat Willie Jackson OF The
Bronx at Madison Square Garden last
night. Jackson was leading on points.
shoulder butts, elbow jabs and kicks
on the shins and everything else when
White suddenly landed a left that
jolted the Bronxite in the thirteenth.
A quick, snappy right sent him to the
mat for the count Of three.
Jackson, who makes up In stolid.
6ogged courage what he may lack in
pulchritude. came up blind and stagger-
ing. White dropped him again with
long left hook to the jaw. This time
Jackson flopped to the mat for the count
of six. He came up limp but snarling.
and was weakly battling back when the
hell. saved him. Because of Whites
eluggishness of mind Jackson lasted
through to the end.
1t was q very messy affair. Several
of the lady customers left abruptly after
the fifth round. At that period both the
men were bleeding from cuts over the
right eye. The wounds came stimuli
taneously from an exchange of lefts.
White sustained the deeper cut and
bled profusely despite liberal applica-
tion of collodion. Jackson methodically
rasped the cut with shoulders and elbows
from that time on. He tore off pieces
of plaster as Whites seconds adjusted
them.
Eager to Meet Leonard.
The boys were battling for the chance
of getting the losers end In bout with
Champion Benny Leonard in the near
future. Hence the desperation which
was evidenced in the battle The losers
end of G. bout with Leonard is a guaran-
tee of more coin than winners end of
any other bout in the ring.
Up to the thirteenth round it looked
rs If there ought to be a. commission
ruling against either of them ever meet
ing Leonard. Then White. who had
been ripping methodically at Jacksons
body. let go a short left hook. Jacksons
knees gave way and short right sent
him sprawling. 1t looked like the start
of knockout. et.-
But this Jackson is a tough person.
He climbed up again and made q weak
but courageous charge. The long left
hook caught him flush on the jaw and
he sprawlcd over in his own corner
limp. But only for six seconds. Then
he came up red and savage and charged
at White who met him as he came.
White rained blow after blow on gloves
that shielded Jackson's jaw. Then
came the saving bell.
jackson ruts UP n Bluff.
White should have finished him In
the next round for Jackson was weak
but the Bronx boy was cunning enough
to bluff He came out of his corner
to meet White. The sluggish mind of
White clogged entirely at this point.
Tie let Jackson fool him into believing
that he was still strong. The bluff
gave Jackson time to recuperate.
In the fifteenth Jackson was using
shoulders, elbows and wrestling holds to
keep from getting into range of Whites
left. Toward the bell he was landing
desperately on White. but the blows
were weak. That body punishment and
the two lefts to the jaw in the thirteenth
had taken everything out of him but
certain logged brute courage.
Since White was last in our midst ne
has learned to use his right hand with
some effectiveness. but his left seems to
have lost some of the steam that used
to fatten lightweights in this vicinity
But the brain of White is just as slug
gish as ever
Abe Attel, who gave him some gratu.
itous advice during the bout. mourned
over Whites slow thinking. He has a
guy out" moancd Abe. then he stands
there and hasn't got sense enough 20
finish him. If he had a small portion
OF brain in that head he would be light
weight champion"
There are some that believe that
White would have a chance with Leon
ard because he carries punch But OF
what use Is a punch unless it is delivered
at some time near the psychological
moment?
For Lithuanian and other papers in
the home tongue it might be explained
that the bout referred to above was
between Oscar Tobler and Charles
Anchowitz. This is how they are really
registered in The Bronx and stockyards
directories. Mr.. Anchowitz was the wn-
ner. Mr.. Tobler was the gent VINO
Topped twice in the thirteenth
The count of the customers surprised
the wise ones. The bout did rot look
like an alluring business pr oposition to
the local promoters, but all of The
Bronx and a large section of the popu-
Iation of Harlem marched to the Garden
I'm the expectation of seeing their Mr..
Oscar Tobler spill Mr. Charics Ancho-
wltz. The Bronx is very patriotic and
partisan.
Augie Rather and Dave Rosenbers
staged lively bout. also in dialect be-
fore the main event The lads forgot
that they were members of the same
lodge and were rough, especially toward
the end. During this go blonde flapper

would do.
Rosenberg Gets Decision.
Rosenberg received the award of the
Judges. The men did not seem to be
exerting themselves in the matter Of at
tack. They did considerable clinching.
Rather made an eighth round rally and
had the better of the last session. But
Rosenberg scored the greater number
OF points
frankie Jerome. Harlem's favorite
bantam, opened the proceedings by ad-
ministerng thorough drubbing TO
Willie Spencer OF the East Side. Jerome
showed superiority in boxing skill. and
Spencer never had a chance. Jerome
received the decision of the Judges.
Carl Tremaine. the Cleveland bantam,
created the first sensstion OF the night
by stopping Harold Farese OF Newark
in the third round OF one sided hight.
The Clevelander rushed at his opponent
with the gong in the first round and
never stopped his furious attack until
Farese was on the floor and helpless in
