over the Spider. The latter has an
even break in this bout Wclch has
three times the record that Sullivan
has and carries a harder punch. The
only question is: Has welch gone
back? The Honolulu sports are fig.
uring that the beating that the Spider
took at the hanls OF Bat Nelson has
put him on the list Of the has beens"
and that the new arrival will 20 the
same as poor old Lon Agnew as soon
as he gets a good clout on the jaw.
This is all supposltion, however, and
the sport who backs this opinion with
his coin is not using the best Of judg.
ment. You cannot size up a fighter
until you have seen him In action,
and all you have to judge from are
his past performances. Welch has
shown since his defeat at the hands
OF Nelson that he can still fight some.
Grossman of San Rafael was placed
by the wayside at the hands of WEIGH.
Now Grossman ls large. strong lad
and fighter. Then there was Frank
Rafael. a fighter well known and with
n good record that was put 10 the
boards by Wclch. This does not look
as though he was entirely dead one.
The only question that we might
ask about Sullivan Is: Can he take a
beating? We know all Of Sullivan's
other qualities. He has been seen In
action here three times and has made
very good impression on the local
sports. Sullivan Is fighter with
model habits and has youth and
strength to carry himself through a
hard fight. Sullivan Is built on the
style of Jack O'Bricn and fights In a
similar manner Some seem to think
that Sullivan could not take a severe
beating around the stomach. II must
always be remembered that TO win a
fighter must land and as VIC have
said before, right here Is where Wclch
Is going TO have trouble. Sullivan Is
not an aggressive fighter and there
fore not as easily hit as q man who II
always coming Wclch has an az
Grossive style Of milling and fights
very similar to Dave Barry and tho
resemblance will be seen tonight
when the two square of.
Everything Is ready for Larry Dee
TO jerk the bell cord and set the
fighters on their way. In order &c
give everyone chance to zee the
opening rounds, the fight will not bt
called until $3.50. This will give
those who are interested In the cleo
ton chance TO get out In ample
time to sec the sport. There will he
a Commute car service and cOnSe
Iuently no waiting for cars,
Manager Adams of the Zoo has tax
on all precautions to make the seat
ing arrangements comfortable and
ample for all. Sixteen hundred seats
can be had and all the management
asks is the people, and, from the looks
OF things, the crowd will be on hant
to see the fun.
There will be two good curtain
raisers that will furnish the amuse
ment until the big guns come on.
Billy Woods, the veteran ringster
will have the fight in charge, and on
thing Is sure, and that IL: there will
be no fake with Billy as the thirt
man in the ring, And then there viii
be Jack McFadden, the yellow Kid
as announcer, Jack has Just CONF
INFO possession Of the English Ian
guage, but he is developing into
full.fedged announcer, and everyone
