Gets HIS
REAL chance TONIGHT
Philadelphia Jimmy is Ex-
pected to Make Welsh
Extend Himself
FRIENDS WANT ALL
RULES OBSERVED

Jimmy Murphy, Of West Philadel-
phia. who made such a great showing
against Ad wolgast, the former
worlds champion, will have an ap-
Dortunity to prove his ability against
Freddie Welsh, the present worlds
titleholder in the lightweight class at
the Olympia Club. Philadelphia, to-
night. Welsh is a wonderful boxer.
As elusive as Tie proverbial flea, he
is a past master Of ring artifice and
knows tho game from every angle.
While he has thousands Of friends in
Philadelphia yet they will judge him
with the same critical eyes they re-
gard every other professional boxer.
He must deliver the goods in a
straightforward fair manner. They
will not stand for insistent clinching
and holding his opponents left arm
like wise after each lead They
will be quick TO discern that in
fraction of the rule and will soon
make their disapprobation heard. II
Murphy boxes Welsh with the same
rapid pace he did Wolgast, the con-
queror OF Willie Ritchio will be a
very busy fellow tonight In the
Olympia ring. II is a rare chance
for Murphy 10 be linked with the
worlds champion lightweight and his
friends hope he will prove himself
worthy of the distinction given.
Those in charge OF the ring should
see that the rules arc rigidly en-
forced The boxing public wants to
sec Freddie Welsh tested fairly. Muir
ply Is the one lightweight who can
make him extend himself Welsh is
n past master Of the defensive side
Of the game. He has a habit of
shooting his left on lead, sometimes
straight again on half-arm swing.
then slips his glove under his op-
ponent's arm. lie makes his op-
ponent look as though the latter was
holding, when It is Welsh who has
performed the trick All clinching
and holding should be cut out Of to-
nights bout Let Freddie Welsh
prove to his Philadelphia friends that
he Is the worlds premier lightweight.
Jimmy Murphy is bound to make him
step.
