NEW YORK. Dec. Hats off to
Freddie Welsh. Englishman and fight
er! The last word Is used advisedly.
It's a word that couldn't be applied
truthfully to lot of American cham
pions, near or far
Freddie Welsh, in about six weeks
time, has fought more two-fsted
scrappers than some IL his predeces-
sors in the lightweight chair fought
in as many months of their respective
kingships. And the men who faced
Welsh in this period are of Americas 8
best
The little Englishman sailed into
this country on the wave of his sue
cess over Willie Richie literally with
his fighting togs on and his guard up.
His first match was with Matty Bald
win., in Boston, Welsh winning. A
few days after the Baldwin bout,
Welsh met ex-champion Ad Wolgast
in New York, and showed his class
This battle ended before the ten-round
limit had been reached. when VOL
CAST broke bone In his hand. With
out a sign of fear for his hard-earned
crown. Welsh almost Immediately
jumped to Milwaukee to fight Charley
White. The latter was given q draw
by some sporting writer's. but Welsh
had no time for explanations or ex-
cuses. He was fighter. His board
bill refused to stop. He made another
date-this time to meet crafty Duffy
at Buffalo, He kept the date by out
pointing Duffy.
Now there are two reasons why
Welsh should get the palm for this
record. He should get 1t going or
coming. Some folks might say, We'll
why shouldn't he fight? This busi-
ness of praising him for being a will
ing worker is all bosh. Welsh can
command the money and he is getting
1t while it is good" Let's all concede
that, only for the sake of argument,
and we'll ask this one question:
How many American champions
in the last fifteen years have been
such quick fashion, and for the COM
paratively small purses Welsh gets? ?"
That's all.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC dfAN-
ING OUT AIIEGED GRAFTfRS

SAN FhANCl6SO, LEG. l-1Au
unheaval that has shaken the uniform
ed staff of the Southern Pacific CON-
pany in a manner never before ex-
perienced in the history Of railroad
ing in California has resulted in dis
missals for graft and theft Of thirty
two men within the last ten days. Be-
sides these, eighty-fve are under in
vestigation, and more dismissals are
promised.
Irregularities in the accounts Of
train conductors, dining car conduct
ors, stewards and hotel employees
throughout the Pacific system have
caused the secret service bureau to
pursue an inquiry which has covered
period Of six months.
Territory Included.
The territory included comprises
the main line from Oakland to Sacra-
mento and Ogden, the valley line
from Oakland to Los Angeles, the
branch line from Mojave to Owenyo,
from Hazen to Susanville and from
Sparks to Nina So far no evidences
Of theft have been discovered on the
coast line from here south, and the
local line to San Jose and Stockton,
or on the northern line to Portland.
Orgies shown.
In addition to the grating, the I'M
vestigation shows that there have
been drinking orgies among the train-
men and that liquors have been sold
and indulged in by conductors and
brakemen while actually on duty on
the cars, in violation Of plain rule
of the company.
The names Of the culprits are with
held.
One Instance.
On the Oakland Fresno branch an
instance is reported Of q passenger
making frequent trips who would sit
always in the rear seat Of the coach,
where other passengers could not Obj.
serve his failure to pay fare. he
would hand the conductor % and be
given q hat check. The money went
Into the private purse Of the train
men and the Southern Pacific lost thu
regular fare, amounting to 1915.
Dining Gar Craft
The graft in the dining cars VA
by far the more easily accomplished
The meal checks were falsiAed. ON
check would be used over again sew
Iera1 times, the first figures beinI
erased and the amount being with
held. The method was simple. i
patron would be served, his bill
amounting to $50 He would pay, AM
the dining car conductor would plac
the money in his private purse.
Il The. next procedure was to rub Of
the figures on the tag. The mex
patrons might order only a 40-cen
meal. The first tag would be marke
40, and this time the amount pal
, would probably 60 to the treasury o
the company. Sometimes, however
the same dining car check was use
until 1t wouldn't rub out any more.

REINFORCE GERMAN
LINES IN POLAND
(By United Press.)

LONDON, Dec. Russian German
statements indicate the German lines
in Poland are still intact and the
forces are struggling over hundred
mile front. Gen. Won Hindenberg is
now reinforced. Experts are confident
that the Russians hold the advantage
and it is realized a decision is not
near. The presence of the Kaiser at
the front Is believed to indicate a su-
preme effort is being made to drive
the Russians back to Warsaw. King
Albert's departure for the front it is
believed foreshadows an early allied
offensive in Belgium. The King spent
only day at the front and is now
probably en- route back to England.
PETROGRAD. Dec. 1.-The first
line OF Germans is now opposing a
portion OF the Russians 10 Poland.
German reinforcements are being
brought up to strengthen the youths
of the second and third lire troops
who fought in the early stages IF the
battle. Admittedly the Germans are
battling desperately at Lodz suffering
enormous losses. They fought their
way from the wise they were caught
in south of Lodz. in the face Of ter
rife machine gun and rifle fire Pris-
oners taken were suffering from the
cold and from hunger. In r.treating.
the enemy lost vast quantities. of
