round of what was to have been
White occupied the firss round in
( slang Marks up and feeling him out.
This session was about even. II was
evidently enough to convince White
thas he could finish the Canadian at
any tnse, and he decided TO do It as
soon a. possible He flashed oat Ok his
soIaes in tho second, and after fescs
curry that found Marks rctreatinS and
covering up no launched wicked left
that caught Msrks sauarely on she
point D. the chin. Sid went down and
out. White weighed lSS and Marks
135. The Chicago fighter ruled 6-to-
fsvoriss in the betting.
White waa the hrst to enter the ring.
and received a mild ovation. Marks
followed momen. later and received
about tie same reception. The frst
round WAS about even. both being eau
tious.
White Gets = Surprise
White landed long left jab several
times, hut Marks countered with Some
hard ght and left swings that shook
up the Chicagoan somewhat and APP
peared to surprise him little. These
punches caused, White to practice still
more sauticn. Several times he backed
Marka to the ropes with his shooting
fefts, and Sid covered up. But he
geuis suddenly emerge from these COW
cred poseg and launch desperate
swings for the jaw. Most of these
missed.
White was a different fighter when
he esne cut Cor the second round. He
had regained all his old confidence and
was full of aggressiveness. He tore
into Marks and the latter seemed to
sense that the end was not far off. Sid
stepped n couple of hard left hooks and
an occasional right swing. Marks. how
ever, was still fighting gafnely and still
trying to get over that desperate right
aGnge when the end came.
1t was terrific left hook that ap-
z yeared to travel something less than
Q foot that caught Marks squarely on
/ the point of the chin. 1t was all that
was necessary. Marks fell backward
and his head hit the foor with a re-
sounding thud. His arms were thrown
back above his head and he lay there
Inotioniess as Referee Patsy Haley
tolied oR the fateful numbers.
When ten seconds had been counted
one OF Marks seconds rushed into the
ring and carried the fallen sailor to
his corner, where they worked over
MIN Tor ten minutes before he was
sbie to leave his corner. The blow
lat ended the. contest came after
: Szy-nine seconds of fighting in the
3 weond round.

Sscheels, Of the Bronx. and Andv
thomas, OF the East Side. had the

OF hsts, and when this landed it would
send Thomas spinning
