any unnecessary chances that might cause
the cancellation of his opportunity to re-
gain the lightweight crown
Referee Billy Roche. who was third man

Welsh boxed Matty Baldwin. said yester-
day that the champion was marvellously
fast and clever that night.
Although many believe Welsh In more
OF boxer than a fighter he insisted on

proceeded TO mix II from the start and il
was at close range that he showed his
greatest superiority. Bostonians voted Il

That Welsh does not believe for mo-

for the coming bout includes getting ready
for Charlie White in Milwaukee a week
