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. It takes a hard hitter

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.”

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.
