NREDD1E WELSH and !

TRTDDIE WELSH and Johnny
Murphy did little work yesterday
a in their training camps In prepa-
ration for their lightweight scrap to-
night at the Jeffries club, but each
took his usual spin on the road and
went through with light gymnasium
work to polish off and get ready for
the weighing in process at O'Clock this
afternoon. Both are down to weight
and will scale in under the required
1873 pounds when they step on the scales
at the Jeffries Athletic club offices.
There is little doubt that this Wili De
a bruising fight and should not be
one-sided AFFAIR, despite that Welsh
is SO superlatively clever. The Eng
fish champion is so confident of win
ming that the has trained for the de-
velopment of his punches so that ne
can 90 in and slug with the northern
boy, and in his decision to mix IT ne
lends an added interest to the mill.
Freddie is so fearfully fast on MS
feet and is so clever with his nsts
that he practically fills the same place
in the lightweight division that Abe
Attell fills in the featherweight Oh
vision. minus the title, of course. Many
have lfkened Welsh to Attell in COM
naring their cleverness, speed, general
ship and general style of hghtlng, anu
Welsh does not fail to any great eA-
tent in the comparison.
1t is because of his great cleVerness
and speed that the fans have made
him topheavy favorite to win, al
though in doing so the gameness and
punching ability of Murphy is not un-
derrated or overlooked. At the slug
ging game Murphy would have been
made favorite, and since Welsh has
said he will mix it with the northern
boy the prospects are good for a great
and fast rough house battle.
Knockout His Speciality
The ring record of Welsh is well
known to the fans, especially his local
record. which is sufficient to give a
definite line on his prospects for to-
night. But little is known of the ring
career of Murphy. Powever, perusal
of his record reveals that he is
knockout specialist and entitled to the
title of the knockout kid, which ne
bears. He has engaged in forty-three
battles, winning nineteen decisions
eleven knockouts and getting three
draws. while he lost three decisions
and Cyclone Thompson stopped him IN
eight rounds, although it was police
interference that caused the battle 10

GOOD CLASS IN
SWIM CONTESTS
NAPLES TOURNAMENT SHOULD
BE BIG SUCCESS
NORTHERN CRACKS HERE TO
TRY FOR TITLES
Walter Pomeroy Expected to Arrive
This Morning from San Francisco
to Join Upstate Contingent
Already Here

All arrangements for the fifth annual
swimming tournament for the cham
pionships of Southern California nave
been completed. The tournament will
be pulled off at Naples next Sunday
afternoon. Secretary Leslie Henry OF
the Southern California Swimming as
ISOLATION is taking a rest after the
strenuous work of the past few weeks
to make the affair a success. Inc en-
try list is the largest of any previous
swimming tournament in Southern
California and the class that is repre-
scented in each event in itself assures
the success of the tournament.
Regardless of what the critics say of
the northern crack, George Bromley,
he will not have much time to loaf
when he gets up against Ben Waiting
ton and Walter Abegg. Les Henry re-
ceived a telegram yesterday from Wal
ter Pomeroy to the effect that he would
arrive in Los Angeles today from San
Francisco. 1t is expected that he VIII
join Bromley at Santa Monica and pass
part of today and tomorrow in getting
into condition.
Bromley won the fifty-yard dash at
Naples last year in 20 3-5 seconds, beat
ing Wilbur Kyle and Barnwell. Had
the race been ten yards longer 1t Is
said that Barnwell would have over
hauled Bromley, as he was going fast
at the finish. Barnwell has entered
the fifty-yard dash this year and looks
good to the fans for that event. In
the fifty-yard juvenile race w. o. Mall
ley bids fair to repeat his performance
of last year, when he beat Jack Ira
villa Of Avalon and Earl Kyle of San
Diego His time was 80 seconds flat.
In the 100-yard dash last year Brom-
ley won through good start, and was
away before the other boys came to the
surface. No doubt the local boys have
practiced many starts and will be the
equal of Bromley in the starts this
year. The time for the 100 yards was
Oh :O4 Ii. Wilbur Kyle of San Diego
finished second, and Frank Holborrow
finished third. Kyle will not compete
in any of the events this year. as he
was unable to get back from Honolulu
in time.
Bromley covered the 440-yard dash in
O6:59 AS, and was strong at the finish.
Kyle tired, but managed to reach the
float about dozen yards ahead of Al
Beinhoff, who finished third. Watkins
won the SS0-yard dash, with Kyle sec
ond and Holborrow third. The time
was :06 2-5.
AS the entries to the swimming tour
nament close tomorrow night at 6
o'clock, with Les Henry at the Dyas-
C111ne sporting goods house, 1t is NEG
essary that all who intend to enter
should do so at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

Hopes for Rough House

Murphy knows Welsh's style of fight
ing and Is enthusiastic regarding his
chances. He says that while he makes
no pretension to being as clever as
Freddie, he believes he is fast enough
to get to the English champion and
force a mauling issue, in which event
he believes he will stop the Welshman
in few rounds. Murphy has unlim-
tied confidence in his ability as a slug
ger and knows that 1t is in rough house
work that he shines.
If Freddie steps in and mixes it with
Murphy the fight will be great one.
Welsh can take a lot of beating when
he has to do so and he has improved in
punshing ability in q marked degree
since he began training. as it is to this
that he has given the most of his at
tention. He wants to be able to NIX 1t
with boys like Mcfarland and Bat
Nelson, as he wants to be the world
champion some day and realizes the
value of a punch with such cleverness
and speed as he has at this time.
Only One Preliminary
There will be only one preliminary,
as usual, being a fifteen-round bout
between Sailor Sullivan and Jake Ar
mold, the clever and hard hitting Whit
tier boy who always has been a favo-
rite with local fans since the nrSr nlgnt
he put on the gloves. Both boys have
trained hard for the scrap and are fit
and ready for the issue. Arnold is
clever and has punch, but those who
have seen the sailor in action say he
surely will give the Whittier boy a
beating long before the limit.
Eddie Graney will referee the main
event and Tommy Walsh will adJudge
the preliminary. Graney was chosen
quite a long time ago. in fact, ever
since the match was made, and only
the doubt caused by Graney's political
business at the San Francisco pri-
maries ever made it necessary to think
of any other referee. Graney comes 70
referee this fight rather as a courtesy
to his oldtime friend, Jeffries, and 1t is
no reflection upon Charlie Eyton or
Tommy Walsh that he was chosen. In
Justice to both of the local referees, II
should be said that neither has ap-
piled for the position, courteously step
ping aside for Graney.

The work of the committee on the
Pacific coast is in excellent shape, yet,
as suggested in a previous letter, /
would recommend that a more active
campaign be inaugurated in the north
west with Seattle as the central point.
Perhaps. however, it would be well not
to ATTEMPT anything more than we are
now doing there until after the close
of the Alaska Yukon Exposition, at
which time Hawaii should have a
creditable exhibit if the amount asked
for from Congress is granted. At the
close of the exposition, a part Of this
exhibit could probably be secured and
used in fitting up attractive exhibit
rooms in Seattle.
