Featherweight Champ Has
Easy Time in Bout at
Boyle’s Thirty Acres,
. Louis (Kid) Kaplan. world's tea-
‘Wil'ht Champion. served notice
on Bobby Garcia that he was all
ready to deissd his 126 pound crown
in their scheduled melee in George.
Mulligan's New Hartford stadium on
June 28 by knocking Billy White all
over the ring in the main bout on
re: Rickard's opening card at
Boyle's Thirty Acres last' night.
Although lighting a. man much
taller than he and with a far great-
er reach which aided him greatly in
holding the rugged little champion
at bay. Kaplan tore in every min-
' die of the 10 r nd encounter and
:arried the fight to the Jerseyite at
wary turn. winning every round by
l. sate margin. .
Whit was reputed to be a punch-
sr wh might cause Kapianplonty
of trouble but he landed 'hls famed
right on the champion only a. cou-
ple of times. And instead of stop-
ping the Kid or oven slowing him
up. it made him fight. all the hard-
er and every time he took one he
rave hack two or three dozen in re-
" turn.
The Jersey City lad was very
clever in his dctcnslva tactics and
it was only this ability on his part
to ti'o'ul) the Merldcn mite in tho
infighting that saved him train more
lerious damage and perhaps o.
knockout. It seemed as though
Kaplan had to get by a flock or
arms every time he wanted to score
on White but despite these handi-
:aps..he managed to score plenty
and alien. ‘
. Makes White Miss
There were times during the bat-
lie when Kaplan mado.Whlts look
pretty bad. and everyone 0: these
times White saved himself with his
long arms and busy tilts. Kaplan’s
smashing style or righting pussled
White considerably and the few
times that halscored were on club

at Ksplatl's head as he came up out
at his crouch. ‘
It was a bit of a surprise tgr
