ArrOW Gomez" Jimmy Dougherty
n was about to cntrain for New
v,,t This morning, and he showed a
..,doocy TO ,c pceved with his interro-
s.,,on. Where do all you guys get
~, stuff off Of! Bobby'll bust that
- man from Chicago for loop. and
mi ,ell you now how he's going to do
"'Doueherty was talking about his red
,,.dpd, freckled protege. Robert Bar
M Of Clifton Heights. who is to meet
marley White. of Chicago. in n sched.
.,sJ fifteen round set to at the Velo-
Sro,ne. @ New York City. tonight. 1t has
Men learned on pretty good authority
thst White will get n match with
Chsmpon Leonard If he knocks out the
Pennsylvanian.
III looks to me as If Il lot Of tho
vise crackers think the bout Is all
~er, - continued the Baron. "but tho
eounting Of ten. Well. it might be at
that. but Barrett won't be the one
listening to the brides chipping.
Predicts X. o.
paste this down in the sweatband
| AZ your hat. and see If / don't call the
turn went on Dougherty seriously.
"Just as soon as White starts shooting
, lef, hook Barrett will beat him to the
punch with right cross to the Jaw,
and that will be the finishing blow.
Barrett may not do It in an early
round, but he's game and he'll be in
there plugging from gong to gong and
] feel confident that short -end bettors
on X. D. by Barrett will cash in"
White rules topnOtch favoritc. Be-
cause Of his experience. better boxing
ability and defense the Chicagoan is
being picked as n sure shot victor. But
with so mean n sockpr as Barrett in
there against White there always is u
chance Of the inevitable occurring.
"You never can tell" always has
been good line in all sports competi-
tion, and it may be used after tonight's
fuss which has all indications of end
/ ing in knockout. You never can tell.
Difference in Ages
Barrett will have eleven years edge
on White in their respective ages. While
Barrett is just past twenty, the Chicago
| kft. hook phenom turned thirty -onc last
March. Charley's career in the ring
covers space of sixteen years. in which
| time he has scored lot of knockouts,
holding the record for one round VIC
tories in the lightweight division.
A knockout against Johnny Mealy
Hast season brought Barrett to the front.
and when he slowed away Hymie Gold
III added lot more to his prestige.
Then Bobby went way out of his road
I'm taking on Tender, who stopped the
red head in six rounds. but recently
showed he was dangerous battlcr in
|outpunching Joe yelling at Shibe Park.
A threat from New York. where
White finished up in his training for
the Barrett battle. is to the effect that
Charley will knock out Barrett in less
time than it took Tcndlcr--at least two
rounds less. according to the report.
Buck Real Comeback.
One of the real summers ring come
backs is Tommy Buck. Tom is Phil
|adelphian He could not convince local
promoters that he still had few bouts
left in him after lay-off of little
more than year. so he was forced to
seek other fields for tisticuff frivOlities.
When in his prime Buck was big
|card in the Canada-up around Ottawa,
Quebec and other cities in the south
eastern part Of the Dominion. SO when
Tommy finally decided his services were
not in demand here he went north and
crossed the border.
Since his invasion Of Canada, Tommy
has competed in half dozen matches,
and from reports received after each
contest. Buck has been punching at q
ivy clip. lie hasn't lost bout yet,
