greatest lightweight in the world. not
even barring Cans, as his great speed
and cleverness would form combina-
ton with the punch that would make
him invincible in fights with the pres
ent day lightweight. And any man
who can drop fourteen men for the
full count cannot be said truthfully to
be seriously lacking in a punch. Any
way that the match is viewed 1t looks
good and undoubtedly will prove the
best drawing card staged in Los An
geles in many a day.
Packy Has Big Day
Packy entertained a crowd that con-
servatively is estimated at 1900 persons
yesterday afternoon at his South Side
Athletic club quarters and boxed
eleven rounds with his sparring part
ners and local amateurs. Jim Jeffries,
who was expected to referee the bouts.
caused much disappointment by falling
to show up, and the show went on
without him. Packy took on Kid Long.
Sam Coulter, George Damron and
Walla Wheeler for two rounds each
and Charlie AnSlinger for three rounds.
He slammed into Anslinger in lively
fashion and hammered all over the
ring, practicing on his punches. The
three Los Angeles Athletic club boxers
put on gloves at the same moment and
another would be on deck, thus giving
Packy six lightning fast rounds with
Van Courts clever pupils.
Packy said that he now weighs 137
pounds, which is the notch that he
wants to hold to until today or tomor-
row, and to prevent taking off weight
too early, he did not go on the road
Saturday or yesterday He will re-
sumo road work this morning and
promises to weigh in at or below 1873
pounds wednesday evening in the
presence of representatives of the
press. He does not want to make
weight too quickly.
1t might be interesting to know that
the club boxers, who have boxed with
both scrappers, expressed the opinion,
after the workouts with Packy. that
he would be an easy winner over the
Welshman. They are much impressed
with the cleverness, speed and, par
ticularly, the punch of the Chicago
boy.
Large Crowd at Venice
The amphitheater opposite the OPEN
air ring used by Freddie Welsh at Ven
ice was crowded with visitors and citi-
zens during the afternoon workout, the
crowd being so large that many were
forced to stand in the aisles and about
the ring. 1t is estimated that at least
1000 persons were present at the work.
out.
Freddie opened up and worked faster
and more impressively than upon any
previous occasion and was frequently
applauded for his clever and effective
work against Kid Carsey and Howard
Baker. He mixed 1t in lively fashion
with them, after they started in to
rough-house him, and what he did not
do to them hardly is worth mentioning.
He kept their heads playing trip-ham-
mer stunts on their spines and worked
at such a fast clip that the crowd en-
Enthusiastically applauded in apprecia-
ton.
His showing against Baker, who
weighs about 145 to $50 pounds, and
who is a clever and speedy POKER OF
good class, was particularly Impress
i've. Bakers has stiff punch and is
lightning fast, but he had no oppor-
tunity to land on the Welshman. who
hammered him all around the ring.
