Freddy Welsh, alias Fred Hall
Thomas. of Pontypridd, Wales. until
the recruiting sergeant visited that
burg, may be the worlds champion
technically, but there's strongly root
ed belief that he will never get into
the ring with Charles White, alias
Anchovitz, the Chicago Yid.
The Chicago boy. with the name like
a delicatessen relish, has been accumu-
lating record for hard hitting that
stamps him as the probable winner OF
any contest over the derby route
against any scrapper in the world able
to do 1876 pounds.
This, Of course. is presuming that
White himself can still scale that low.
He is getting big and is probably
creeping out Of the lightweight divi-
sion. At that he is no further outside
the American pale than is Freddie
Welsh. who won his title at the Eng
fish, not the American, weight
Recently White added to his other
string Of knockout victories when he
stopped that good trial horse. Matty
Baldwin. the first time that hero Of
$50 battles was ever kayoed.
Baldwin is growing passe. 1t is true,
but he has been great little scrapper
and genuine lightweight. He is one
Of those good boys who have battled
harder and Oftener and accomplished
much more than men like Richie who
have actually held the title.
Since last March White has knocked
out eight really good men.
! Freddie Welsh has fought White
twice The first time Freddie was not
in condition. and White defeated him in
no decision bout. The second time
Welsh was in shape and lightning fast.
He rather showed up the Chiragoan at
| boxing
Welsh will do that with most light
weights in short fight or as long as
he retains his strength. Nobody can
hit White a decisive punch while his
defense is in good working order.
Welsh, however is old and no doubt
slowing There is Il certain round
where he would tire. and in that round
over would come the White hook. with
the sleep effects that usually follow
! Whether this round is inside the per-
missible twenty round limit none
knows. But against strong. rugged
opponent, like White. few believe
Welsh today is good enough to last the
distance.
Little Johnny Ertle. with the kew
pie face and the near bantamweight
championship reputation. expresses
the belief that John Gutenko of Copen-
hagen and Baltimore will never again
defend his title in long bout at the
bantamweight limit-116 pounds ring

civilians has a trick Of bringing his
foot forward with his head when COM
ing in. which gives his intentions away.
To break up his attack all you have
to do is to keep his head up. Seemingly
he can't land when in that position.
II wouldn't be surprised at any time
to hear that some of the fairly good
fighters Of the east stopped him. He
can be hit easy enough. and he showed
me nothing wonderful. But he'll soon
be out Of the bantamweight running. l
