THE approaching battle between
Ad Wolgast and Freddy Welsh.
the British lightweight, at Los
Angeles, for the international title,
dated for Thanksgiving afternoon. re-
calls to mind an incident that happened
in Milwaukee about three years ago.
At that time Freddy Welsh was just
beginning TO shine having met such
stars in 1908 as Charlie Neary and
Maurice Savers, also Packey Mcfarland,
while the Cadillac boy was still fight
ing semi finals and minor Windups.
They were both training at Larkin's
gymnasium and WOlgast often boxed
With Welsh. One day they were mixing
matters pretty strong and Ad slipped
over a hard jolt TO Freddy's jaw, jolt
that made him realize that he was not
against a plaything. Freddy came right
back and for time there was reg
ular three round scrap on, with no
frills about it.. Welsh let out enough to
put the kid down once and then mat
put the Kid down once an dthen mat
ters ended.
After the training that day met the
little Welshman and he remarked:
Had a narrow escape today. That
Kid WOlgast tried to double cross me
at the gym and came near turning the
trick, but luckily he did not get me,
and you can bet your last dollar he
won't get such a chance again. Some
one wanted to spoil MY match here
with Mcfarland evidently by having
that Kid turn the trick, but I guess
he won't want any more OF my game,
for I handed him some rough jOlts as
a return compliment. 1t was a small
piece of business. Any time he wants
my game he can get ii, but it must
be IN. a regular match, not In train
ing"
After WoIgast beat Nelson for the
championship I met Welsh in New Or
leans and he recalled the above incl
dent, and then added: THAT Kid thinks
he can whip me and I am going after
him for a match at once. I was ~sorry
that he got Nelson first, for I know
I would have beaten Nelson sooner than
he did I will get WOlgast yet, and
you mark my word, I viii beat him, If
for nothing else but trying to double
cross me that time in Milwaukee"
May Try It Again.
Now that judge Blair, in the circuit
court of Missouri, has decided that
boxing is not a violation Of the law,
gloves, it is expected that St Louis
will again enjoy boxing contests as of
old A test case was made at Joplin,
No, and decided in favor of the box
ers. New Orleans, Boston and New
York judges have ruled the same way, /
so that there must be some hope for
the boxing game, even though Milwau-
kee officials cannot see it in the right
light
Booked for the Coast.
Packey Mcfarland is booked for the
Pacific coast with Tommy Murphy the
Harlem boy but there is a good chance, /
that he will box IN New Orleans Har-
lem Tommy may contract malaria again
