Bissell at once saw an opportunity
here and prepared a stamp, from the

for tuberculosis work. So impressed
was she with this success that she in

IMITATION OF
MAN WHO In
VENTED MONEY
BY HAL SHERIDAN.

Written for the United Press)
New York, Dec. 4.-When Light
weight Champion Freddie Welsh stow
ed away his share of the receipts for
his bout with Young Shugrue at Madi-
son Square Garden last Wednesday, it
brought his earnings for five weeks
up to more than $4,000.
1t broke all get-rich-quick fighting
known to civilized and uncivilized
mankind If Welsh could keep up the
record for twelve months his income
for the fifty-two weeks would be the
astonishing total of $4,000.
But the money making record was
not the only one smashed to atoms.
During the year and six months that
Willie Richie held the light weighgt
crown he fought fewer men than
Welsh has in the past 35 days. No
champion in any division has ever
fought that many men in the same
period of time.
Mighty few champions have fought
that number of good men throughout
their whole career as title holders.
Welsh has fought 'em all, IS they
came along, as has been mentioned
once previous in this column. Every
man he has faced has been in the top
division of light weights There were
Baldwin, Cross, White, Wolgast and
Shugrue. Both Wolgast and Richie
found alibis to prevent meeting with
young Shugrue. Welsh merely named
the money for which he'd fight-and
