MoTan'S Career.
Among his other achievements were
winning a decision from Matty Baldwin
In twelve rounds IN Boston. and a de-
eision from Tommy Murphy I'm twelve
rounds I'm the same city. ANY man
who gets a verdict over Baldwin in
Boston works every inch Of the way

lI ow something about one another.
Woi6ast got draw with Baldwin in
Boston. which was going some. and
knocked out Tommy Iangdon in a
philadelphia fight, which Moran failed
70 do.
We have a hunch that the next light
weight champion. il Wolgast IS sue
cessful with Moran, will be Freddie
Welsh. the present English lightweight
champion, who IS matched with PaCkey
Mcfarland IN England. Welsh earned
ms title but recently by winning a de-
cision over Johnny Summers in twenty
ot the fastest rounds ever seen in the
National Sporting Club of England
Welsh Learned In America.
Mcfarland is no great shakes as a
puncher and Welsh should outlook him.
although Welsh lost a Jen-round de-
cision 10 Mcfarland in Los Angeles.
Welsh does not push any mountains
over with his fist, but he has a rocking
wallop and has the advantage over
the other English scrappers in that
he learned the business in the Ameri-
can school Of boxing. and is thoroughly
familiar with inhghting. sun, YOU never
can tell, for Welsh only won from
Henry Piet, the French lightweight
champion. IN twelve rounds in Wales,
while WOlsast put Piet 20 sleep in two
rounds in New Orleans. Whether the
tweive-round beating Welsh had given
him three months before took the hear
or stamina out OF the FrenChTan and
made him mark for WOigast is another
question.
But, il all goes TO prove that any
man whoever went long and desperate
fight With Joe Cans was never himself
