PAGE FOUR White and Boorde Both In Pink of Condition Charlie Loch Here Now Ar ranging Details of Fistic En counter Tuesday Night WHITE KNOCKOUT ARTIST White Considered Best Fighter Yet Tackled By Boorde, At lanta Lad j 1h By “BUGS” RAMSEY Wfth ihc announcement that Dick White and Freddie Boorde were in the best condition, the Americus legionaires today stated that they were expecting the larg est fistic audience ever assembled in this South Georgia metropolis to be present Tuesday evening for the battle between these two youthful exponents of the gentle art of hit find duck. Charlie Lock, Columbus wrestler and boxing instructor, manager of White and matchmaker for the le gion post here, who has been in Americus for several days getting all the details worked out, made the announcement today that his boy and oorde would enter the hempen enclosure ready for the af fray with every ounce of fighting spirit they possessed. White, according to Loch is 1 mauling his sparring mates right and left at the Y. M. C. A. at his home in Columbus. He is knock ing ’em right and left and none ap pear able to withstand his straight rights and stinging jabs. He is just a kid, Lock says, and is hard to control with his hitting. He is like Firpo in one way, he wants to bowl over all his sparring partners just to see how the old punch is coming along. Boorde is the best fighter young White has met. The Atlan tan is a veteran of a hundred or more ring battles and steps about the enclosure like a born mauler He is a different type from Whitt being a Stribling style of mauler and that assures a real battle. she legionaires, who are promot ing card, have profited by the ex perience of promoters in the big cities, who have made the mistake ilnr matching two boys who are sim ilar in style.

Ph „ s k r m Ife $3 Ph Scbcn - F °- N,ne WEST LAMAR- STREET, AMERICUS, GA. ‘ KSKI and clever boxer to put up a real melee and in Boorde and White Americus veterans have matcher, men of that type. White’s record of battles speaks for itself. The youngster has fought five of the best around his home city of Columbus within the past several months. None of them have been able to stay in the soup more than four stanzas, the major ity of them have fallen before his terrific smashes before the third round has been concluded. He goes after a knockout from the first bell and keeps on slamming away until his punch lands in a vital spot and then the fight is over. Reports from Atlanta state that Boorde is taking the bout here with White more seriously than his meet ing with “Boots” Antley in Colum bus a short time ago. Antley is rated now as one of the best feath erweights in the business and is fighting Artie McCann, southin', featherweight titleholder in Sav annah on June 20. That should mean a great deal to Americus fans who are to be come cash customers of the legion Tuesday evening. It places White above Antley as far as Boorde is concerned and that gent is the one to have to face his blows. Its go ing to be a great battle, if things come off as they are indicated and there is every indication that they will. COMMANDER LANE ENDORSES FIGHT R. C. Lane, commander of John D. Mathis Post, No. 2, American Legion, today announced that the regular meeting of the post sche duled for Tuesdday night, had been postponed on account of the White-Boorde fight at the armory on that night. “All members are urged to be present at this fight,” said Commander Lane, “and we. want it distinctly understood that this is a first class boxing program. We regret that we did not deem it advisable to incur an additional ex pense of SIOO to procure the Ry lander theater. The program must not be discredited because it is presented at the old A L. I. Arm ory. “Everything has been arranged for the comfort of our patrons, and we assure all who attend a first class form of entertaintnent. The committee in charge has arranged to refund to any attendent who is not satisfied the price of his admis sion. “In other words John D. Mathis Post guarantees this to be one of the best boxing programs ever of fered Americus fight fans.” 121,000,000 PEOPLE NOW LIVE IN 0. S, NEW ESTIMATE SHOWS Naitonal Bureau of Econamic Research Announces Latest Population Figures 1,162,000 ADDED IN 1923 Improved Estimating Methods Developed By Bureau Used to Arrive At Conclusions NEW YORK, June 16.—The population of the United States to taled 112,826,000 on Jan. 1, 1924 according to estimates announced today by the National Bureau of Economic Research. This com pares with 110,883,000 on Jan. 1, 1923, and' the census count of 105,- 711,000 on Jan. 1, 1920. The most remarkable gain was recorded in the last half of 1923, the net increase being 1,162,000 a greater growth than in any other half year during the last tw ode cades, and probably greater than any six months’ period in the na tion’s history. The gain for the entire year was 1,943,000. The Bureau estimates the popu lation of the Continental United States for each half year since Jan. 1, 1920, to have been approxi mately as follows: Jan. 1, 1920 105,711,000 July 1, 1920106,422,000 Jan. 1, 1921 107,575,000 July 1, 1921 108,533,000 Jan. 1, 1922 109,298,000 July 1, 1922 109,898,000 Jan. 1, 1923 110,883,000 July 1, 1923 111,664,000 Jan. 1, 1924 112,826,000 All the figures after Jan. 1, 1922, are necessarily tentative, for the Bureau of the Census has not yet published complete < monthly data for births and deaths covering the periods since 1921. Improved methods of estimating the nation’s population for the years following th Census count in 1920, were developed by the Bu reau of Economic Research in con tinuance of its studies of income in the United States, and the rela tion of income to population. The process evolved by the Bu reau is based on the “registration area” theory and takes into consid eration alegeements of error dis closed in previous work and the re sults attainel by it are believed to approximately very clohely actual figures. These are the good old days we will be longing for a few years from I now. ~ THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER In Which Oil and Water Mix 188 /w n John D.
