Champion Freddie Welshs tight with
Charley White here last night will be
talked about until they get an OppOr-

there you are.
The fighters themselves say:

In summing up tie fight it is figured
that Welsh won one round, the fifth,
clearly. White had a margin in two
OF the busy boxing spells-the ninth
and the tenth. That gives him lead
OF but one round, but the points he
piled up in the tenth are enough on
which to earn him the verdict.
It was a battle between the two
greatest left handlers in the business
one with a left jab and hook that
was like a flash of lightning, but
lacked the power to harm or slow up
his opponent. That was Welsh's. The
other left was a powerful hook that
did aot go home quite so often, but
when it landed it jolted and Jared

for chances to counter with his left
hook and a stunning right cross.
Welsh pursued his usual tactics of
stepping in, leading with the left and
then laying on his man so that neither
