Al Wolsast, with Arm Broken, Is Com
PEELED to Give Up in Battle Against
Champion Freddie Welsh.

whimper. 1t was not according to
the book at all. and the sports couldn't
quite figure it out. Surely, Welsh
was making a sad mistake in his line
of battle. for Wolgast, just as. certain
as the sun, gave him good, sound
beating in the body. And again in
the second round Welsh stood for a
whole lot of Ads punches TO the body,
and those who had seen Freddie fight
before couldn't quite understand it.
In the third round. too, the English
man was willing fellow, but gradu-
ally and eventually he solved VOL
CASTS method of attack and he finally
found way to offset his tactics. AS
early as the fourth round. Welsh was
in command of the situation, and, of
course after Wolgast had broken his
arm in the fifth round, Freddie had
things all his own way. But whether
Or no an accident. Welsh is the mas
ter of Wolgast ON what the men
showed last night. AID is still wild
cat"--for few rounds-but Welsh is
stin so clever it will take man Of
his own style to beat him.

As the fight opened, Wolgast,
following his custom, walked right
in and slugged Welsh to the body.
Welsh took it, and when they broke
he came back for more. He was
fighting just to suit Ad, and he made
a sorry showing for a champion in
the first round. His blows were
light and ineffective. and he seemed
to be unsteady on his legs. He
clinched repeatedly, and Wolgast
found little trouble locating his
body with ripping lefts and occa-
sional rights. 1t was observed, how
ever, as the fight went on that
Welsh became more proficient in his
clinching, and that he also did much
less of it. But in the first round he
fought very poorly, and he was out
pointed easily.
O.
While the men were resting in their
corners after the first session, the
talk was all Wolgast. You could hear
the whispers about you that "Ad was
the goods" and welsh is a cheese"
This opinion prevailed even more so
after the second round, in which VOL
CAST fairly annihilated Welshs body
with terrific blows, mostly with his
left hand, but, now and then, with
the right. Occasionally, too. he sent
a left to the face and he did enough
roughing to skin Welsh's nose and
make his face red. All the time,
though, Welsh was learning lesson.
He finally found a way to tie up
Wolgast's hands in the clinches and
he never did had any trouble hitting
Ad. so the tide of battle was soon
turned from "all Wolgast' to every
much Welsh However, the second
round belonged to AID by right and
by might. He was still full of steam
and he fought aggressively and bN-
tered away as his opponent clinched
much, led occasionally and landed
80 per cent of his blows, but hurt
little.
Still strong and with nothing APP
parently to fear from his opponents
blows, Wolgast forced matters and
slugged Welsh into a clinch, and then
slugged him out of it. AS Welsh
broke ground the look on his face was
appealing. Then, just for an instant,
wolgast stood off as if to size up
his man and maybe to take a breath
himself. 1t was the turning point in
the battle. Welsh, from a covering
receiver, turned instanter and be,
came the aggressor. He led with his
left and he landed, and he put over
a left and a right to the face An
other stiff left bruised Wolgast's
right eye and the blood came. VOL
CAST was stunned for a moment. He
awoke to the situation. Biff, bang,
biffi He rained blows at Welsh. He
fought the Englishman around the
ring, but it was noticed that Ads
blows didn't land so often, and that
Welsh had learned to clinch more
effectively. Welsh came back with
lefts and rights and let's, and it was
his hest round, in that he had solved
