BERG DECLARED ' FIGHT WINNER N< w York, Aug. 8,-<U.R> Impelled by the flying fists of two game little battlers, the fight game Is back In better standing today. Jack (Kid) Berg, the White Chapel whirlwind, ami Kill Choco- . late, lithe Cuban sharpshooter, fought through 10 furior rounds before 40,000 fans at the Polo grounds, and nt the finish Berg's hand was raised, but the fight was only by the proverbial whisker. tine judge and the referee, Patsy Haley, gave the verdict to th- Englishman. the other judge voting for Chocolate. While ringside experts agreed that a draw would have been eminently fair, the fight was so cleanly and so d- sperately imaged that it restored the boxing game to something of its pristine prestige. Chocolate and Berg, the former . .... c* in ..,...*<*l.4

conced ng 10 pounds in weight, battled furiously from the first bell to the last. There were no knockdowns, but both men landed fiercely and heavily in every round. It was a case of a rushing tear- ' ing, two fisted little fighting men boring in incessantly and giving his sharpshooting opponent no chance to get set for a lethal punch. B rg. outweighing Chocolate 133 I to 121. made the most of this | advantage to carry the tight to th-' negro and pound the hotly both hands in close. When Chocolate could wrestle free, he cut and clashed the Englishman savagely. After gaining the upper hand in the fust three rounds, due to his accurate punching at long distance, ghe Cuban slowed down under a ceaseless pounding about th? mid die, and Berg piled up the lead which won the decision. By his victory, close as it was. Berg paved the way for a lightweight titl bout with Al Singer. When it was over last night. Chocolate wept unrestrainedly. .The little negro had not been beaten before in 168 professional engagements.

Ball walked out. ran Into someone's elbow, and fell. That was the signal to leadership, which the crowd had lacked. Not one of the rioters attempted to hid his identity.

The mob attacked the jail at thi-e points — the main door, through the garage, and from the roof. Within a few minutes the main body had swept through a heavy iron door, two sheet-iron doors and two steel barred doors. Through the garage and into Hie basement went another group. Still others swarm <1 down the sde of thn th l " e story structure from the root, peering inside windows for negroes. i The sheriff and deputies fought rioters at the main entrance, cracking heads with clubs, hurling half a dozen tear gas bombs —but, rides and riot guns remained on: the racks, and revolvers were untouched. They were swept aside. The mob brought out the two negroes. The first was hanged at the end of a rope fastened to bars of a window on the second floor ■ ot the jail. His body was cut down J and taken to the courthouse yard, I where the second negro was hanged' I Care was taken to identify the negroes id ntified by the Ball girl. < The same procedure was followed
