v2’ ROLLING FALLS SPEED UP WRESTLING BUT CROWD HOOTS THEM THE EVENING WORLD, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1922. l Pom , Strange Reasoning on Which White Says He Can Beat Champion Leonard. “I can whip Leonard easier than I beat Jackson.” Coming from Charlie White, the Chicago lightweight, the - foregoing struck us as rather a startling statement, but judging by _ his manner and tone, it was a very natural expression to White himself. + He wasn't predicting himself into the Lghtweight championship. The thought of himself as the titleholder seemed turthest from his mind, He » Was talking of Leonard as he might have talked of some lesser or ordinary light of the ring. “Tl tell you why 1 think Leon- ard would be easier for me than | Jackson proved,"’ he resumed as if for \ our particular enlightenment. “He is @ boxer-fighter with no set style. He books, he jabs, he c:osses with his right, and he punches the body. You don't have to watch for anything spe- * clal from him."* According to our way of thinking, this variety of attack should make Leonard all the more dangerous but White dopes it differently. “You see,” he went on in explanation, “I can box Leonard with an even chance of countering him effectively, A boxer » always furnishes that opportunity to another boxer, assuming they are of nearly equal wit or ring craft, “Now Jackson is a tough, danger- ous fellow who places all his depend- ‘ance on his right hand. You go into the ring fairly well acquainted with that fact, and never for a moment its tf safe to také your eye or mind off @hat right. You may have to change ‘your natural style to keep out of the danger zone, whereas against t Leonard type straightaway boxing, without concentration on any par- ticular punch, isn’t so wearing on the system.” INCERE and all, as White prob- ably is in his deductions, we don't subscribe to them. Com- mon sense would indicate that a one- punch man would be less troublesome than a chap with half a dozen good deliveries. However, White has been sthrough the mill with Leonard and with Jackson and ought to know his subject. Leonard knocked White out in nine rounds at Benton Harbor, Mich., the Jast time they met, but the Chicagoan dismisses that occurrence as having no bearing on what-Will happen when they meet here at the Garden. “For eight rounds I had Leonard -beaten from New York to Chicago,” sald White, “I had knocked him out of the ring in the fifth, and was just about to finish him in the ninth when Leonard hit me on the breakaway, putting me out. We had agreed to fight with clean breaks and I wasn't looking for anything as we were , coming out of a clinch, He violated the agreement HITE doesn't resent the criti- W cism that he is sluggish of mind, too slow, cool and me- thodical, but for which ke might have knocked Jackson out clean and cold Monday night. “That's my way of fighting, and that's why, when I am tn the ring, it is always best to walt clear up to the last round for the big moment. “I always like to size a man up, see what he has, feel around a bit, before starting anything. I have found that this 8; I'd ratker get good range slowly than be in there jamming up my hands, pegging away for general results. I don’t believe in wasting punches, “With Jackson I watted nearly eight rounds doping out his ring be- havior before I really became offen- sive. That was my plan and you see how it worked out, I might have yushed Jackson in the fourteenth or fifteenth round, but he was danger- * ous in @ way, Those fellows, taking a dying chance, always ar ‘White says at no stage of the Jack- son bout was he in danger or even hurt by a punch. The cut on the left eye was the result of a collision of heads in the fifth for which neither was to blame. He sustained a deep cut, necessitating two stitches, @ veteran, he has had com~- paratively few fights. He is twenty-nine years old and not thirty- one, as the records say, and in all of his fourteen’ years has fought only 157 times, Dundee has had over 800 fights. But White can't complain of jack of opportunities to win titular honors. He has fought Ad Wolgast, Willie Ritchie, Freddy Welsh and Benny Leonard, each time with the lightweight title at stake. He has also fought, earlier in his career, Frankie Conley for the bantam championship, ‘Abe Attell for the featherweight crown, and even tackled the welter- A LTHOUGH White is classed as WHEN Mane 4 LEWIS LeapPad INTO THE AIRE TEACHER GREEN WITH G@iMLs’ SCHOOL Envy arse Fistic News On account of to-day being a holiday Charley Doesserick, manager of the Pioneer Sporting Club on East 24th Street will stage a special boxing show, beginning at 2.30 P.
