SOUTH SIDE CLUB
Maurice Sayers and Pat KineaIy to
Help Him-WeIsh and Memsic Call
OFF Their Bout, Owing to In-
jury to Formers Hand

Owing to a serious injury to his left
hand, sustained accidentally, Freddie
Welsh was forced to call off his scrap
sic. A few days ago he ran a splinter
into his hand and neglected to give it
proper attention, thinking too lightly of
the consequences. He went ahead with
his training, and a stonebruise devel-
Oped. The doctor, after making an
examination Of the injury, advised him
that he would be very foolish to at
side of a fortnight, at least.
Upon hearing this report Welsh in
formed the Pacific Athletic club Off
Gals, who investigated the report and
verified it. Upon verification, Manager
McCarey wisely called off the bout and
Cancelled the date. Both boys were
very much disappointed at the neces
sity for calling off the match, and the
fans share in this disappointment; but
DR.. Griffith says that Welsh will be
lucky indeed If he escapes a serious
case of blood poisoning, and that he
would be in danger of losing his hand
il he should go ahead with the bout
and sustain any bruises.
By canceling this date the fans will
have no pugilistic entertainment until
one week from next Friday night.
when the Packy Dick Hy-
land scrap will be staged. Articles of
agreement between these scrappers
were signed yesterday and forfeits
were posted with the club manage
ment, after the managers of the scrap
pers had almost come to the point Of a.
personal combat in discussing the
terms and conditions. Jack Perkins,
acting for Hyland, and Harry Gilmore,
representing Mcfarland, showed dispo-
S1t1onS on the order of that for which
Billy Nolan is famous, each wanting to
get every possible advantage for his
principal; but the conditions finally
We're agreed upon, put into writing and
signed up.
Both boys are recognized as topnotch-
ers in the lightweight division, pos
seSSed of the best class, and despite
that their session will extend over only
the ten-round limit, there is no such
thing as overconfdence on either side
There is too much class at stake for
any such thing as that, and the fans
may depend upon it that both boys
VIII work in dead earnest throughout
the training period. 1t will be one
great scrap, and the card is one of the
classiest and best that Manager Nc
Carey or any other manager could ar
range in this division.
NIIn dI1dIO UCSluS WOTk JnlS AFTER
noon at Jack Doyle's Southside club,
and will have Maurice Sayers and Pat
Kinealy for regular sparring partners,
while other good boys, big and little,
will be impressed into service during
the training period. Packy will begin
work at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon, and
the fact that he and his trainer. Kinea-
ly, will put on the gloves for a workout
means that the fans will get a rare
treat. They always box too roughly
for their fiery tempers, and invariably
end up with a session that is featured
by the real stuff
Hyland also begins training today,
and will make his headquarters at the
Eastside club. Dick has a full corps of
assistants; and as he believes in the
rough work, the fans will find plenty
of entertainment at the gymnasium
when he gets under a full head of
steam. Dick will begin work at 8
o'clock.
