Feb 9 -At Chicago, Tommy White, ex-featherweight champ,
was given a thrashing by Alderman John H. Lyle
at City Hall today; The clash followed a meeting
of councilmen during which a proposed state law
to legalize boxing was discussed; White and the
alderman had words. The ex-champion struck at Lyle,
he missed; The alderman feinted, then uppercutted,
catching White on the jaw and knocking him on his
back; White came up however and the fight resumed;
Lyle rushed White into a corner and rained blow
after blow on the former champs face; The fight
was stopped when the police arrived
