n n ESSRS. MILLION and Chapman,
lVI who control the New Haven BIZ
cycle track, have leased the
plant TO some New Englanders for In
dependence Day. It is understood that
those who leased the track intend to
nave Packey Mcfarland and Freddy
Welsh meet there on that day in O
twenty-round bout. Permission to hold
q bout of that duration is said to have
been obtained.
The only thing, therefore, that stands
in the way of the bout would be the
lighters financial demands. That such
a bout would be a financial and boxing
success cannot be doubted for a mo-
ment.
Before the basketball gam between
the present National Turner team and
the "Old Guards at Turn Hall last
night the players of the former team
were presented with gold watches by
the club for the excellent work done
this season. Those who received the
prizes were Al Burch, Morris Reimer,
Dave Reimer. Fred Pormaier and
Charles Weber.
Mr.. Metzger, physical instructor, and
Referee Bertsch and Manager Char
rier also received watches. The 1911
team wos the game.
.
Dave -Kurtz. the Ghetto champion,
has his first real Job on his hands to-
night, when he will meet Kid Wilson,
thes0range w~elterweight, at the Long
Acre Club. in New York.
Some fans claim that Kid Wilson is
ready to slip, and that if Kurtz gets In
one of Ehose wallops he may finish his
man before the end of the tenth round
or beat him OF points.
Wilson is certainly more scientific
and knows more about the game than
Kurtz, event granting for JULIUS latest
accumulation of knowledge from his
bout with Leary and his boxing with
Patsy Kline.
Juju has a hard job on his hands to-
night, in our opinion. Though he may
beat Wilson, he should make a good
showing with the Orange negro. His
work with the veteran should place him
in a position in the fight world where
one a have a basis of computation
for his future.
The work of Freddy Welsh, as dis
played against Pal Moore last night,
viii earn LOT nlHl ildily 0uSdgSiIltnLS IN
this country, and a bout between him
and Packey Mcfarland will draw a
tremendous house. Welsh acted as
though he recognized the securing of
bouts depended upon his showing.
There are now a classy array of light
weights on this side. SO the FAM will
be provided with plenty of action IL
trouble is not encountered getting them
matched. How Welsh lost to Mat Wells
in England is a surprise to those know
ing the difference between the two, but
when he returns it is thought he will
surely beat him. AS is ommon with
English fighters. Welsh used his left
han to fine advantage.

When Joe Jeanette was introduced
at the National Sporting Club last
night there was considerable kissing,
some remembering his last bout with
Al Barry, but Patsy Haley, for the
negro, insisted Jeanette had fought
his best, as Barry insisted on holding.
Jeanette will meet AL Kublac at the
club next week. Leach Cross, who Is
to meet Matty Baldwin on April 2S,
was also present. Jack Britton, of
Chicago. who fought a draw with
Packey Mcfarland, challenged the WIN
ner of the Moore-W Welsh bout.

Jack Kurfess, the local boy; Billy
Manser, brother of Chubby and
George Bausewine, of Bloomfield, are
all showing good form with the vii.
mington Tri-State League team. Man
ser is especially fast, and from pres
n indications will be given a regular
Job on the pitching staff. Kurfess's
, batting has been a feature in practise,
while Bausewine is also twirling in
good form. though a little fat.
