2 i 2 i ‘ * Fi Rite ac WILL Chicago Hard Hitter Wins | Next Bout With Leonard By Beating Local Pride White Floors Jackson Twice, the Bell Saving Willie From Cold ad Knockout in the Thirteenth R ound—Rosenberg Beats Rat- ner, Jerome Wins From Spencer and Tremaine Stops Farese in Lively Bouts at Garden. By Vincent Treanor. ILLIE JACKSON, the lightweight, has one consola- tion to-day. He won't have to fight Benny Leonard on March 17. ‘That job must be handled by Charley White of Chicago. He won the right ‘er privilege at the Garden last night by, beating Jackson badly, nearly Ynocking him out in the thirteenth @easion of a fifteen-round bout. Painfully slow and methodical, White gets only the credit of a de- cision victory instead of one marked off on the records in a black-faced K. 0. He knocked Jackson down in the thirteenth round and had Willie going over backwards for per- Japs a third and final fall when the ‘bell rang. The first knockdown came alto- gether too suddenly. It took the crowd by surprise. Willie flopped ap- parently helpless from a well direct- 4 left hook on the chin, As White, in too strict conformance with the rules, retired to the most distant cor- ner, Willie, spared the demoralizing effect of.a glowering opponent over him, was up at five. White had started this round like @ complete master. He stuck a solid right to the body, followed by a left to the chin, and had Willie missing. He then jabbed two lefts to the chin, the first one lightly and the second hard and snappy. These blows caused Willie to reach out and grab. White let him, and began a rapid right and left battering of the body. He shifted suddenly and drove the Jeft and right in succession to the chin. Willie, all at sea now, had his hands high up over his head, when White suddenly stepped back and then in @gain with a left hook. THE 8ECOND KNOCKDOWN. Willie's feet went from under him and he went down sideways. When he got up, White walked around him like the fistic mechanic that he ts. He drove rights and lefts to the stomach,.and as Willie reeled across the ring followed him with measured steps. Like a flash, over shot a right and a left to the chin with rare pre- cision, and Willie went down hard again. -He seemed to get a faster count from Patsy Haley this time, but at nine he gamely struggled to his feet. White, with calm deliberation, | would stop and hook hard lefts to the local | Jaw and curve rights in on “the but- ton"? only to sec Rosenberg maul- ing in on top of him most discourag- ingly. As early as the fifth round Ratner took on a “what's the use” expression, and as Rosenberg crowded him he was forced to hold for breathing spells. Ratner put everything he had into an eighth-round finish, and Ro- senberger for the first time forgot to be belligerent. They were both cer- tainly tired at the final pel. TREMAINE STOPS FARESE. Carl Tremaine, the Cleveland ban- tam, caused quite a surprise by stop- ping Harold Farese of Newark in the third round. Leo Flynn, behind Fa- résé, threw in the towel as Harold was taking a long count after a third knockdown, Farese foolishly hopped up without a count the first time. He took nine the second time and was Staggering around when he went down again. Tremaine Janded nearly one hundred punches in battering Farese in his three separate trips to the floor. Farese had little chance to show any- thing. He landed one solid punch, a clean right hook, in the second round, Tremaine is a good boy who fights fast from the drop of the hat. The Frankie Jerome-Willle Spencer bout, which opened the programme, went eight rounds, Jerome winning. ‘They are a game pair. Jerome was the harder hitter, but he swings too much. He would be much more ef- fective if he could learn to shorten his punches. He had Spencer very wobbly in the fina] round.

It hit Jackson squarely on the jaw and Willie swayed over backwam. Clang! went the bell, and the noise of it, wel- come, of course; caused Willie ‘to gather enough strength to stagger to his nearby chai! White's chance had gone. For the remaining two rounda White punished Jackson and had him wabbly, but he was altogether too careful. He seemed satisfied that the Knockdowns had turned victory his way and rather than a rushing and slugging attack which would have brought Willie down again, was in- clined to waste nothing in the way of punches. Willie flashed back tn spots, but had nothing left but gameness. Re stood up under some accurate hit- ting at the stomach and jaw and fin- ished the bout without suffering the absolute ignominy of a knockout. JACKSON STARTED LIKE A WINNER, Up to at least thé seventh round Jackson looked the winner. He ci ried the fight to White and the latter held and took the initiative rarely. He looked to have gone away back. Jackson took the first, second, third, and the fourth was even. Willie took the fifth, and the sixth was even, White began to show something in the seventh, and from then on it was ap- Parent that he was fighting a coo!, heady and well planned ‘battle. The eighth round was even, Willie begin- mine to recede, and from the ninth to the Gnish, with the possibie eaceplion af the eleventh, White came fast. Both suffered bad cuts over the left eye, but it was the result of a col- Uston of heads in the fifth round. Jackson had landed a good right to the chin, missed the next one und then as he overreached with a left to the face the eye splitting occurred.

Abused Referee Explains What a Rolling Fall Is; Shoulder Blades Must Touch se is = | Not Necessary for Outside of Shoulders to Be Pinned to Mat, as Is Generally Supposed, Says Fleeson in Trying to ‘Educate Wrestling Public. By William Abbott. FALL is gained in wrestling when both shoulder blades. of a contestant touch the mat at the ‘sdme tfme. Not the shoulder Points, mind you, but the blades that show in the middle of a broad back of a wrestler., When, doubt as to just what constitutes a fall is clearly un- derstood, a great deal of present criti- cism of rolling falls could be easily blown away like so much cigarette smoke. There's, nothing Chinese’ about wrestling-rules. -They clearly say a SHOULDER POINTS. DO NOT Have TO ‘TOULH MAT weapons that they don't begin to know defensive wrestling like Buro- peans who make a study of bringing themselves out of trouble. Justifying his decisions in the Zbyszko-Caddock bout, the referee declares that Caddock probably could have saved himself by bridging, and failing to do so, he attempted to squirm out on his back, only to have his two shoulder blades touch the mat. “The offense was 60 clear,” says Fleeson, “that I could have seen it from any place in the Garden. “Certain positions on the mat are followed by equally certain results. onty Points OF THE SHOULDER BLADES HAVE To Toucy MAT WHAT CONSTITUTES A ROLLING FALL. fall is secured when both shoulders touch the mat at the same time. The result is the game whether the grap- pler uses flying, pin or rolling falls. Many who now 60 lustily condemp rolling falls undoubtedly do so in the false belief that @ wrestler’s shoulder | Points must be pressed to the mat, us was the custom under the old method of pin falls.

It was while. trying to escape from these situations that Caddock flopped on nis shoulder blades and Reteree Flee- pon under the rules had no alternative but to give the heavyweight the award on two rolling falls. In an endeavor to clarify uncere tainty about rolling falls, Referee Fleeson was asked his opinion about the fairness of the rules and how he enforced them in the Zbyszko-Cad~- dock match. Fleeson's answer was to produce @ little book of wrestling rules and Caddock got himself into positions that he had only the choice of bridg- ing on his head or suffering rolling falls. He didn’t bridge, and I knew what to expect even before his shou!- der blades touched the mat. There was nothing else to do under tie rules but to award Zbyszko the win- ner.”" Referee Fleeson displayed a lette- from Chairman Muldoon of the State Athletic Associution warmly congratu- lating him on the able manner in which he handled the bout. > STECHER AND ZBYSZKO MEET ON MAT TO-NIGHT.

Joe Stecher and Wladek Zbystko, brother of the heavyweight champion of the world, will furnish the big thrill, but much interest has been point out the short paragraph relate ing to falls, Fleeson insists the ad- vent of rolling falls greatly opens up wrestling and increases the number of possibilities. He claims a grappler has a fifty-fifty chance to escape without suffering a rolling fall, but that American wrestlers are sadly de- ficient in the knack of operating under the new rules, It is Fi¢eson’s contention that the home stars have specialized too much on engt rolis the expense of defensive is lew eadork Jor Ste Nivea on his leg sele fors, und. according to Feeson, both spent so much dime on their favorile aroused in the meeting of Bd. “Stran- gler’ Lewis and Cliff Binckley, who calls himself the Western champion, and in the clash between Dick Daviscourt of the sunny South and John Olin of Springfield, Mags.
