 Barrett In Third

New York. August 7.-Charlie White. Chicago lightweight, tonight knocked out Bobby Barrett of Phil adelphia in the third round of their 15-round match in New York vele- drome.
 A stiff right over the heart sent Barrett down.
 He sprawled on his face trying to rise and after being counted out was lifted to his corner where he sat in tears. Two minutes and 57 seconds of the round had passed when the referee finished counting over the Philadelphian.
 In the first round Barrett had taken the offensive. He pealed a scab from Whites nose, which bled profusely. Barrett was a little wild and White attacked his body, weak ening him. They clinched fre- quently.
 Barrett took the lead in the sec- ond round and held his own. though White again sent hard punch to his body. In the third Barrett rushed in. swinging right. He miss ed md was caught with the full i'm pact of the Chicagoan's right.
 Barrett put up good battle, forcing it as long as it lasted. White avoided cautiously the reputed dangerous right hand of his oppon- ent and when his opportunity to end the contest came. he was quick to take 1t.
 Charles McKenna of New York, former amateur heavyweight cham plon made his professional debut by giving a boxing lesson to Tim Kelly of Brooklyn. McKenna covered Kelly's body with blows. closed an eye and cut a gash over the other one. He was given the decision after their six-round bout

Though unpopu- lar with some. the decision seemed to please the majority, and Referee Evans has plenty of folks standing behind him in that matter.
