Freddie Welsh is the hard luck cham
pion. A year ago he lost the English
lightweight championship to Matt
Wells. Then came his American trip
and litigation with q New York promo
ter; next, postponement of the Thanks
giving Day contest with wolgast,
which meant a pot of money, and now
a serious muscular trouble compels him
to cancel all engagements. He may
never box again.

The life of a boxing manager is one
sweet thing after another-not.
It's true the manager gets the money,
while the boxer takes a beating, and
it's true that when a boxer gets a wal
lop on the point of the jaw and takes
the count, the manager doesn't feel the
blow. But being a boxing is
a thankless job in the majority of
cases.
Pugilists are the hardest fellows in
the world to deal with. They hurt their
own game as a rule and place the
blame for everything on the poor man
ager. If he doesn't draw a packed
house, it's the managers fault.
Did you ever notice how many box
ers are always switching
and as soon as they have a Disagree
ment with their manager n dissolve
: partnership how the boxer comes out
and everlastingly reasts the mar who
had been working to get him before the
public and mapping out all his work?
It's natural with a boxer. They are.
as a rule, an u%ngrateful lot. The man
ager risks his money as a forfeit for
the appearance of his boxer. He works
hard to land him on the top. But it
isn't long before the boxer has an en-
iarged Uranium and thinks that he can
do his W managing.

There Is no one among the cyclists
more enthusiastic than the veteran
champion, Kramer. The modest"
ambition OF the East Orange marvel
is to win the American championship.
then the worlds championship, after
which will follow a tour of Australia
(triumphant, of course,l and then a
conquest of the cycle tracks of Europe.
While this may seem to be an heroic
ambition and a somewhat stupendous
itinerary, in view of past events, its
accomplishment seems quite possible
for the marvellous Kramer. More
power to him!
The old saying, Uneasy rests the
head that wears q crown" fits Cham
pion Kramer to a nicely. The cham
pion is unquestionably uneasy. No
matter how secure his position, he is
always thinking of the other fellow. He
will never be caught mapping. When
he appeared at the track yesterday in
such good condition an old-timer asked
him why he was starting to train SO
soon. Kramer's answer was: There
are a number Of very good men over
In Europe who have been riding all
winter and they are in the pink of
condition. | do not know whether they
are coming here or not for the opening
meets; In fact, no one knows, but If
they do come | will be ready for them"
Kramer never takes a chance and hat
is one reason why he is a champion.
