ship of the void. In the opening
rounds Welsh scored more points
than Richie In the fifth Richie
forced the fighting and in this, and
the next two rounds Richie gener

covered liveliness in the eighth and
when the match was half over east
ly led on points. Both slowed up
after the fourteenth. Welsh made
Ritchie's lip bleed in the eighteenth,
and the final round was the swiftest
of the whole fight Welsh got the
better of it. Ten rounds were un
6oubtedly Welsh's.
Several times in the first half of

tened for holding in clinches. Richie
revived somewhat in the eleventh and

Richie forcing the fighting.
1t was a fine exhibition of boxing
throughout. Neither went to the

decision was given against him and

complain, but thought that he was
entitled to a draw as Welsh was
holding all the time. During the last
