ment with the dynamite.
In this manner much practical

WELSH TOO CLEVER FOR
 GOODMAN

As neat a bit of genuine boxing as has been presented to lovers of the sport in New York since the Driscoll- Attell affair last winter was enjoyed last night, says w. P. Mclaughlin in the New York World to-day. It was a ten-round engagement between Fred die Welsh. of Wales, and Jack Good man. the Pride of the West Side. Up to the last three rounds they put up a neat article of pugilism and those who missed it lost one of the treats of the ring.
 Welsh had it on Goodman on clever ness. There is nothing in the game which that chap doesn't know. He won the decision by persistent and consistent leading. but Goodman loses nothing in his reputation. The young west side lad hits like a mule, and with few more such bouts as he went through last night to give him experi- ence. he will be at the head of the lightweight class in this country.
 The first and second rounds brought out some of the cleverest boxing seen in this city in many days. There was not much punishment inflicted by either of the boys, but their feintS and ducks were so brilliant that the house was in an uproar.
 HARD FIGHTING PREVAILED.
 In the third they went in to slug, an were hard at it from bell to bell. Th5 fourth saw more of this rough wGek. with Goodman putting in some asf onishingly good ones on his clever ar. .agonist. He sent home two or three stAf rights that shook up the Welsh man, who however, quickly regained his lost ground. The science and skill of Welsh began to tell in the fifth. He landed a right swing to the jaw that shook up the little west sider, and during the balance of this round had things his own way. Again in the sixth, 1t was Welsh with leads and jabs, while Jack waltzed around. Good man played a bit wild when he tried to get a bread winner home. Welsh was cool as a cake of ice.
 Claret flowed in the seventh from Jacks nose. He was sorely tried by that left jab that seems to have been packed by all those clever little Eng fish fighters; clearly it had Jack rattled. There was some beautiful mixing in the eighth in which the horrors were even. Welsh got in some good clean hits, but Goodman managed to land some surprising good wallops. That Kid certainly has a good punch

 All competing cars must report May 30. between the hours of 10 a. m. and p. m., to Rantz Motor Company's garage, on State street. where they will be examined by the technical com mittee. The course will be guarded by the Fourteenth Company, Coast Artillery. There will be full corps of timers. umpires. etc. The McMurty timing system will be used, and Wire Chief A. l..

 The Automobile Club of New Haven has voted to have a run to Sport Hill to see the contest, and parking space has been engaged. It is expected that the crowd of spectators will be even larger than last year.

KETCHELL WILL BEAT
 JOHNSON SAYS O'BRIEN
Cleverest Boxer in World Tells White Man Has It on the Big Dinge-Notes of the Ring-Ferguson and Jeannette Fight Tonigh in Paris.

Ma man is better qualified to express an opinion as to the result of the twenty round fight between Jack John son, the present heavyweight cham pion of the world, and Stanley Ketchel, scheduled for October F at Colma, than Philadelphia Jack OBrien, says the New York Sun. Not a half hour af- ter the six round bout with Johnson in Philadelphia last Wednesday night O'Brien declared with unmistakable assurance that Ketche would wrest the title from the big negro, and he gave several important reasons.
 ''In the first place, Ketchel is the hardest hitter in the world to-day said O'Brien, as his handlers were treating his damaged optic to massage treatment. ''He is the greatest punch CT have ever met and that means he excels Bob Fftzsimmons in this res- pect. F'itz never had superior as a walloper, not even Jeffries; so that you can appreciate what a terrific punch CT Ketchel is.
 "In the second place, Johnson in my opinion cannot take severe punish ment either in the stomach or on the rugged condition. He is an awkward man to hit, I'll admit, and he knows much about the art of se1f-defence; but when made him back Up with he would prove a mark for a slugger of KetchePs type and ability.
 'In the third place Johnson is over rated in many ways. He is a big. he doesn't know how to land except when in a f1atfooted position. He can not hit while in motion when up against shifty opponent like myself and is easily rattled. His weight, height and reach are much in his fa- vor of course, but he is not a quick thinker by any means and believe that if he receives several hurtful smashes in mixups at close range he is liable to lose his bearings completely. when it comes to hitting and game ness, two qualities that make real champions invfncfb1e. think that if the negro ever gets into a s1ugging will be the first to go down, for he can not stand up under the smashes that the Michigan wonder will hand out Of course we all know that Ketche1 fights so openly that he is compara- lively easy to hit, but Johnson can not punch much harder than can and for that reason Ketche1 can take walloping from him long enough to get in the same kind of blows that put me away in the New York bout. than Johnson and is vastly more az gressive. He is absolutely fearless and always has his wal1op, no matter how shaken up he happens to be. He can score @ Knockout with one good smash if he reaches the proper place and if he can build up enough in the next four months to weigh IFS or 180 pounds when he gets into the ring with John- son he'll win back the worlds heavy weight championship for the white race. Ketchel is a natural born light CT. He has a puzziing style peculiar ly his own. He is the coming man in American pugilism if he takes care of himself.''
