WELSH ARRIVES
FOR BIC SCRAP
Crowd of Sporting Enthusiasts
See Englishman on His
First Appearance.
DOES NOT TAKE A WORKOUT
WoIeast to Pick Winner-ls in Posi-
ton to Make Expert Selection
Has Met Both Men.

Chicago. Ill, Nov. 5-Freddie Welsh,
champion, underwent the test at
Forbes gymnasium yesterday.
The much-heralded Englishman, the
fastest boxer in captivity, and the
lightweight title-holder, arrived in
town with Harry Pollock, his mana
ger, Mrs. Welsh and Gus AXelson. In
the afternoon he stripped before Chi
Cages fight "railbirds' for criticism.
He did not box, but showed enough
of himself to enable the fans to form
an opinion.
1t seems as though every boxing
boy of standing in town bobbed up at
Forbes for a look at the latest boss OF
the 13S-pounders. Whether or not he
made a good impression is a question
that will have to be left to straw
vote. None was taken.
No Boxing Workout.
From standpoint of speed the Eng.
lishman shadow-boxed enough to give
the spectators an idea of his footwork.
Some say it is over-rated, but only a
stiff drill with couple of husky spar
ring partners will prove this. He
worked at the weights, took a fling at
climbing the rope and pedaled some
ten or fifteen miles on the stationary
bike" His every move was watched
by the fans, who resembled so many
hawks. With us he left the impress
sion that:
White has big chance. even better
than he had against Willie Richie
five days before their famous Milwau-
kee contest.
Probably the first and best reason
is that White can punch. We have
AID Wolgast's word for it. Che. too, ar
rived back in Chicago yesterday that,
taking everything into consideration,
White right now is a better man than
the titleholder The Dutchman, in the
opinion of many experts, is the smart
est" fighter in the ring today. Here's
an illustration:
WoIgast Picks Winner.
On the afternoon of the Richie
White affair Wolgast, Tom Jones and
the writer we're discussing Charles
chances against the then champion.
Hell win" Wolgast said, because
Ritchie cannot rig up a defense
against his left hand. When they get
in close White will tear him to pieces.
for Willie will have to carry the fight
to him"
The match ended just as AID pre-
dicted. Willie did not stop Whites
left and he carried the fight to the Chi
cagon, which resulted in his own down
fall. Whether or not the Dutchman
can pick the winner this time remains
to be seen. but he has studied the con-
test from every angle.

rubber rose In New York from 80 cents
per pound To much over a dollar.
The New York supply was too
small TO consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick Of
the rubber there. BY acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1900
900 pounds OF the finest rubber.

best OF the London supply,
I'VE are using the same grade OF
rubber and the same amount OF IL as
we always have used In these tires.

day. So long as we remain In this
fortunate position on rubber, we shall
supply tire. users at before.war prices
