The end came very abruptly Z
battle for two rounds. He bisected
left and the Chicagoan seemed all n
more mussed UP.
Barrett had missed a few wild
swings and White was backing him
into his own corner. They were at
close quarters and Barrett was just
ready to let go with few more swings
when he crumpled and dropped face
downward to the canvas White had
caught him with a right uppercut that
doubled him up and dropped him.
White was pressing him SO eagerly
that he went down with him.
Drags Himself, Then Says.
Referee Patsy Haley lifted White up
and pushed him toward his corner. AS
the count was being droned out Bar
rett lay inert for about five seconds.
Then he tried to drag himself up but
the breath had been pounded out of his
body and he sagged back to the canvas
as the final count was reached.
The surprise of the night was that
White did it with his right. This is
the hand that is supposed to be almost
useless to Mr.. Anchowitz excepting
when he is cutting coupons. But it APP
pears that he can land quite healthy
Z blow with 1t. Barrett dropped as
though there was plenty of steam be-
hind the blow.
This probably ends the sorrel topped
ones pugilistic career or at any rate
seriously hampers it. He has been
knocked out by Lew Tender in person
and by Benny Leonard through proxy,
White having been fiattened by Ben

Following last nights events Mr.. Ike
Dorgan will invite Benny Leonard to

Leonard was not among those present.
1t seems from the current reports Of
his financial condition he could not ar

lem. II would have cost dime to
reach the arena, including crosstown
and subway carfare, and the rumor has

How Barrett got this far speaks we'll
Tor the power OF the Philadelphia bally-
hoo. The red haired boy has nothing
but a wild swing. which does not do
much damage when 1t connects, which
Is seldom. His waving arms created a
great draft around the ring and blew
resin into the eyes of the customers.
Barrett n Tornado.
Barrett opened the first like a red
tornado. He missed with a large flock
Of swings and the boys went into a
series of clinches. Finally Barrett landed
one left swing. but took one OF Whites
left hooks in return Barrett rasped
his elbow on one Of the corners Of
whites head and 1t started to bleed.
Barrett started the second by missing
with his left, and White drove a healthy
left to the ribs. Barrett shot one to
the head and started the blood flowing
from Whites nose with rasping left.
White began to look all mussed up and
Barrett butted him on the nose with his
shoulder Barrett suddenly banged over
heavy right swing to Whites Jaw. The
punch did White no particular good.
Just before the bell White waded in and
landed his left hook flush on Barrett's
mouth.
Barrett missed with a right swing
and White shot his left hook to the jaw
with all his force. The punch made
Barrett sag at the knees. Barrett landed
glancing left to the jaw, then hit
White as low as the knee with the right.
Barrett split Whites nose exactly in the
center with stiff left. Another left
almost sent White to the canvas. White
suddenly shot over right to the heart.
dropping Barrett for a count OF ten He
was counted out two minutes and fifty
seven seconds after the bell rang for
the third round.
In a preliminary Jackie Green of The
Bronx and George German of England
boxed four rounds to draw. The boys
did not overexert themselves to any
extent.

The rain evidently discouraged prospec-

Charlie McKenna, Ike Dorgan's new
hi avyweight, who has just graduated
from the amateur ranks, caught tartar
IN his professional debut. The subject
selected for McKenna to operate on was
one Tim Kelly of California Tim is
red headed and tougher than vulcanized
rubber. McKenna bounced punches off
every part of Tins anatomy but that is
all that happened. The punches Just
bounced off.
This continued for six rounds. but
