sounds good to the ear. All, well, If
Freddie threatens to 90 on fighting
for another year. there is nothing we
can do but let him; he can't fight
more than IL or Is times during that

If Freddie were TO leave his return to
the ring TO a popular vote, the answer
would not be pleasing TO mis- sensitive

concerned, Freddie can stay out Of the
ring for another year. and then retire
Which would be the only way Welsh

He fears that once he retires he might

that il doesn't seem real TO him that
he is going to forsake the ring forever

Shelton-Paynes had a chance-and

bOdys. If the Feldmans want a try
at the soldiers, arrangements may be
made for a couple of exhibition
games before the winte- league
opens. The opening has already had
to be postponed owing to inspections
and extra drills.
IF Billy Gibson offers Jess Willard
$4,000 for a ten-round bout in
New York, the champions BOARD of
strategy will have to accept OF ad-
nit that they are afraid TO risk
their meal ticket. Willard, himself,
would accept quickly but he is being
elegantly mismanaged.
