One of White's most remarkable | encounters was with Benny Leonard | in 1920 at Benton Harbor, Mich. ‘White was knocked out in the ninth round of a terriffic battle after he had sent Leonard through the ropes with one of his famous left hooks | and come close to winning the light- | welght championship, White's only other knockout'was sustained at the hands of Pal Moran in the foéurteenth round of a bout at Madison Square Garden, 1923. That was his last important fight, although shortly afterward he knocked out Bobby' Barrett of Phil- adelphia. Despite that setback, White en- | tertained hopes of staging a come- back, He announced, however, that Leonard's retirement, removing any chance of his gaining another fight with the champion, was a factor in his decision also to quit the ring. ‘White was born In Liverpool, | | England, in 1891, YALE IS SENDING 15 | ATHLETES T0 COMPETE | Largest Squad Ever Sent From New in (.hlcuuo. | to devote his | | a record of | Haven Will Take Part In Boston Games Tomorrow, | N Haven, Jan. 30. = Yale will | |send 15 varsity men and a freshman | | one-mile relay team to the Boston A.

L0CALS TOP BOYS CLUB CIRCUIT Assume First Place by Bemng Meriden; Intermediates Win - | Triangular League Standing. New Britain .. 1 .760 Meriden 2,500 Bristol ... 2 000 The local Boys' club Reserves re- gained undisputed possession of first place in the Triangular league last night by downing Meriden on the New Britain floor, 20- This was the third and last game between | these two teams, New Britain win- ning two out of the three. The locals must now face Bristol twice in the Bell City, while Meriden will twice play host to the boys from over west. Inasmuch as Bristol has not yet won a game or shown the power to win one, it is expected that both Meriden and New Britain will cop these contests and that New Britain will win by the mar- gin gained last night. The game was exceptionally clean, Referee Avery calling only 9 per- sonal fouls during the entire con- test. Meriden got away first on a field goal, but Captain Andy Yaku- bowicz started a big night by flip- ping one in from the foul line and into the lead with a two-pointer. Meri- den regained the advantage, but it departed forever when Abe Aron- son dropped one in to put the Re- serves ahead for the balance of the evening.. The locals ran away and were or: the long end of a 15-9 tally at halftime. In the third period the New Brit. ain boys started fast once more, but then their teamwork and eyes de- veloped unaccountable troubles and Meriden began to climb. The home team then stuck to the defense, while the visitors changed their line- up 'to no avail. They were held to “hope’ shots from the center of the floor, Kudla showing a good eye at this, but it was not enough and the Reserves conquered, 2 Captain Andy display form on free throws, sinking 7 out of 9 tries, while he added a pair of field goals. Aronson flipped in & double-deckers and Bigge 3, while Lipman came through with one in Sliva dropped back to guard and held his man to one basket. Fresen also put up a good defensive fight, Kudla's points being scored on long shots. Kudla and Kocin starred for Meriden. The score: New Britain Field Foul Yakubowicz, If. (C.) 2 Bigge, rf.
