in Fine Shape for En-
counter.

LONDON. July Freddie Welsh is
a favorite in the betting by slight
margin, for his scheduled twenty
round bout in London tonight with
Willie Richie. lightweight champion
of the world, for the lightweight title.
Both boxers arrived here from their
respective training camps at Porth-
cawl, Wales. and Brighton. early this
morning and each lad appeared to be
in the pink of condition. Most of the
betting has been 5 to 4 in Welsh s
favor
The battle tonight will be the first
bout since George Lavigne, the world
famous Saginaw Kid" met and de-
feated Dick Burge, of Great Britain,
then lightweight champion of the
world in seventeen rounds, on June l,
1896, in which an American and an
Englishman, champions of their re-
spective countries, and one the cham
pion of the world, will battle for SUI
premacy in the lightweight division.
Richie will receive $4,000. in addi-
ton to other considerations, for his
work tonight. Welsh, fighting for the
title. and willing to win or lose all, is
playing a gambling game. He VIII

may be that his share of the gate re-
elpts Will exceed tnat OF Rllcnle.
Certain it is that no bout of recent
years has aroused more interest than

he will win handily.
