Chicago, Jan. 18.-The Post a y to-
day: Freddie Welsh. according to
marked copies of English sporting
papers Just received here. has pro-
claimed himself lightweight champion
OF the world. Welsh, in a long signed
statement in of these papers, de-
clares that he is the first Briton to
earn a clear right to the title since
Kid Lavigne won it from Dick Burge
on Derby night. 1896. at the National
Sporting club. Lavigne. the American
champion. Knocked Burgc out in Il
rounds and thereby won the worlds
lightweight championship.
With considerable ingenuity Welsh
shows why he has recovered the title
lost by Burge. In the first place. he
recently defeated Matt Wells for the
championship Of Great Britain and
the Lord Lonsdalc belt. subsequently
Welsh got y hard earned decision ov-
er Hugh Michigan. champion of AUS
tralia, III twenty rounds at the Nation
al Sporting club of London. On
Thanksgiving day, 1911. Welsh re-
ccived a verdict in twenty rounds ov-
er Willie Richie at Vernon, Cal.
whcn the latter was called upon to
take the place OF Ad Wolgast. then
capacitated with an attack of appen-
dicitis.
Welsh does not base his claim to
the worlds title because of his victory
over Richie before the latter had
beaten Wolgast. But he say that he
was Justly entitled to the champion
ship when Battling Nelson as title
holder positively refused to meet him.
He tries to strengthen his argument
with the surprising statement that on
Jan. is. 1905. in a private bout in
Larkin's gymnasium. Milwaukee. he
actually knocked out Wolgast in two
rounds, IL fact that he agreed to sup
press at the earnest request of the
nan who recently surrendered the IT,
tie to Richie.
Positive Statements Made.
Welsh's story OF how he stopped
Wolgast contains nan positive state
ments. The Briton says he was in
Milwaukee training for his first bout
with Packy Mcfarland, which took
place there on February 81 Of that
year. Welsh was in the gymnasium
working lightly IN January IS. when
Wolgast, who was n total stranger.
asked him to put IN the gloves for u
friendly bout. AT first Welsh says he
refused. but as Wolgast insisted he
finally agreed to go three rounds in
the presence of half a dozen persons.
including Frank Mulkern. then VOL
CASTS manager. Love taps prevailed
until just before the first round ended.
when Wolgast suddenly let fly a hay
maker with his left hand. The blow.
