	Charley White, famous as a referee, sprung one on the New York "fans" recently that was a surprise. He was telling about some of old Jack Dempsey's fights. "Great fighter, that fellow," White went on, "as great a ring general and as heady a fighter as ever lived. He won more than one contest when he was whipped, simply because he used brains and outgeneraled the other fellow. Did you know that his name was Kelly, and not Dempsey, at all? Well, it was. I know a lot of people will be surprised at that, but I know what I am talking about."		:Charley White, famous as a referee, sprung one on the New York "fans" recently that was a surprise.
