to him: you are another one al.

LONDON. = Unprejudiced experts
agree that Freddy Welsh. beyond a
doubt, earned the decision which he
was awarded over Willie Richie and
which carried with il the lightweight
championship of the world. ..
+ Although all resident Americans
and tourists who witnessed the fights
were bitterly disappointed that Richie
should have lost his title on de-
cision, it was admitted that Welsh
had piled up sucn lead in the early
rounds of last nights fight that it was
administered a Knockout. 49,.
Richie rallied remarkably in the
last four rounds, but even his stiff
punches, always carrying more sting
and inflicting greater damage than
Welsh's, were not sufficient to offset
the Welshman's thrlier points and
stragetical defense. ........... ..
My greatest concern was to avoid
Ritchie's right punch" said Welsh to-
day. "He has improved greatly in de-
livering this blow, and therefore |
played safe from start to finish"
