Los Angeles, Cal, March 49,
Freddie Welsh, lightweight champion
of England. won an easy victory in a
20-round boxing contest from Joe
Rivers Of Los Angeles, at the Vernon

every round. This puts Welsh in line
for a fight with Willie Richie, the
champion, possibly July 4.
Welsh kept Rivers in the glare Of
the sun and worried him with his
quick punching and lively footwork.

toned Rivers about using his elbow
on Welsh's body in a clinch.
Welsh forced the fighting all the
way and kept Rivers guessing. but
the Britisher's blows had little effect
on the Mexican. In the thirteenth

ropes, but failed to land any damag-
ing blows.
