FREDDIE WELSH HARD LUCK GUY

An ulcerated ankle laid Welsh flat on his back. For three days prior to the match he lay with his left leg in an ice pack, keeping his injury secret to all save his pi.s' s'sician and trainers.
 What would have been an easy bout went the long, weary. s0-round bout Welsh hobbling about on one foot and suffering untold tortures, gave one of the most remarkable exhibitions ever seen in a Qucensbury ring and was rewarded with the decision.
 In the same year an ignorant second robbed Welsh of a victory over his old enemy. Pacley Mcfarland. From the eighth ronnd on this Incompetent handler threw cold water on Welsh as he came back to his corner. The water ran down Fred's body and settled in his heavy wooden socks and shoes
 Pounds Of extra work were thus put on Welsh. whose footwork is one of his strongest assets. His feet so heavy that he could scarcely dance about. Welsh fought desperately into the twenty-fifth round when Jim Jeffries gave a ''draw" decision.
 Again during this same year Welsh was against Ahie Attel for 10 rounds Here the elements were against both boys. A heavy rainstorm set in during the battle. The roof leaked like sieve Rinssiders hoisted umbrellas, while the

Having won the pennants in their div- sions of the city league, the West Wood lawn team and the Southern Bell club eide the champions of the City league. Arrangements are being made to stage two games next Saturday at Redwood Field to decide the winner. loving cup has been offered to the victorious team

 The Rising Grocery company put up game fight for the rag but owing to some hard luck in the middle of the sea- son when their star twirler, McDuffie, left to play with Emery in some Mis- sissippi league, they lost several games which they were unable to regain Man ager Guillou proved a game sport, how ever. as he finished in second place last year, being nosed out by the Jefferson Powder company by one game.
 The Bain Drug company finished in lIlIu p1dCe III the western QlNlS1On. It will be remembered the Bain boys took the West End standing when that team pulled out of the league. They played consistent ball until the end of the sea son.
 Moore & Handley made an excellent showing during the first part of the sea- son but seemed to lose interest later in the season which put them out of the running for the rag. Manager Hunt l. and should have finished nearer the top
 Tuxedo had an uphill fight all the way coming in as they did about the middle of the season taking over the T. c. I. franchise and playing double headers every Saturday to make up for games thrown out
 The A. B. c. boys proved game. Man ager Mimms seemed to have hard luck all the season, but his stickability and sportsmanship has won a warm place In the hearts of the league magnates He never failed to be on hand and for feited no games. Considering the fact that he always occupied the cellar, 1t shows true grit and perseverance. The winners of the pennant in the northern division has been conceded all along to the Southern Bell boys. although the Postal and Standard oil came strong during the latter part of the season
 
 Bell. and Whttlesby of the Postal team, were running neck and neck until about August l. when the Southern Bell began to forge ahead and at the end of the season were five games ahead of the Postal boys.
 In the meantime the Standard oil was doing some consistent winning and be- fore anyone was aware of what it was up to, his team had become real pennant contenders. He finished in second place Oster Bros got a bad start. but under the management of Paul Watkins were going strong at the end of the season Arthur Hodges, who had been doing the pitching for them, beat the league leaders g. few weeks ago.
 Frisco finished in last place, having wor three and losing 15 games.
 A meeting has been called for nexi Tuesday night at the Young Mems Chris. tian association to make plans to or ganze league next year.
