When Freddie Welsh. the English

a bout for the championship of the world

The rise of Welsh in circles pugdiist1c

1t been a slow, tedious climb.
Some ten years ago, when boy OF M

Mcfarland. however, that he became a
national celebrity.
The first clash between Welsh and Nc
Farland occurred in Milwaukee February
81 1908. 1t was a ten-round affair with
Malachy Hogan. a Chicago referee. in
charge of the event Welsh claimed that
McFa rland, finding that he had met his
equal In speed and skill, resorted to foul
tactics in the fifth round. but Hogan
refused to allow it, and the Welshman
was forced to fight to the end although
he was plainly in bad condition. After
the bout Welsh showed marks OF the il
legal blows.
Five months after this Welsh and Nc
Farland hooked up in return battle,
over the twenty-round route, at Los An
geles, with Jim Jeffries presiding as
third man in the ring. The bout went the
limit, and at the end it was pronounced
draw, with both boys claiming VIC
tory. This divergent opinion led to
third meeting at London, England, In the
spring of 1910. and this time the boys
again fought twenty rounds to a draw
ter say, however. that Mcfarland had a
clear shade in the milling and was clearly
entitled to the verdict.
The three close arguments between this
pair naturally have left ground for a dis
pute that undoubtedly will be fought out
at some later date
In the interim between his various bat
ties with Mcfarland. Welsh met a num-
Der Of leading lightweights Of this coun..
try. He whipped "Phil' Brock, Johnny
Murphy, Young Esne and Jack Goodman:
knocked out Frank Carsey, Harry" Tren
rail- and Ray Bronson, and outpointed
George Memsic in ten-round no-decision
battle at Los Angeles.
incidentally he took on Abe" Attell in
a ten-round catchweight affair, and in
this contest Welsh showed speed and
science of a high order.
Welsh's only setback was a twenty
round decision gained over him by Matt
Wells at London early this year. Welsh
has claimed that he was entitled to
draw with Wells. and he cites the fact
that Wells was more nearly a welter than
he was light weight when they clashed.

seem a chance for the Tigers. But on
the flrst-base coaching line stood Jennings.
Krause got three balls and two strikes
on the batter, and from the red-haired
manager in the coacher's box came the
familiar yell, and as the word NOW

bali. The sphere sailed into left, far over

Ferguson was master Of the situation
at ali times. He is considered very
wild slabman, but yesterday he had the
nan sized up to perfection. He allowed
three men to walk, but only one OF them
figured in the run getting.
The mass referred to gave Commerce
its only run. It happened along In the
first inning, Walters being the man with
the sharp lamp. He went to second on
a passed ball and counted from there on
two outs.
The Letter Fingers had accumulated
enough runs in the opener to give them
the victory. Middlekauf, 6rst up, re-
ceiyed four wide ones and took second
when Gertman bunted safely. the
former counted on Kerrs scratch nit,
while Gertman crossed when Bradley
went out.
Consistent batting and several errors

The Post ONCE boys gave Ferguson

was made by the Mailmen and 1t did not
