10 Meet Wallace.

marley White is going 10 defeat
Freddie Welsh when they meet in their
ten-round contest AT Madison Square
harden on next Tuesday night. Charley
says so himself. Freddie Welsh. how
ever IL going to defeat Charley White
on that same night. and At the same
place. The boxing enthusiasts have
the word OF the British champion for
that, and surely he ought 10 know just
what h, intends 10 DO. Now. all that
is necessary for the fans is 20 adopt
the well known watchful waiting policy
and see for themselves. No matter
VINO wins rare battle Of high grade
boxers is in prospect.
White - working in Jack Cooper's
gymnasium in this city. and he said
yesterday that he was never in bet
ter condition for match Away down
an his heart Charley feels that he is
the master of the shifty little Briton.
and he ventured the opinion that the
meeting next week would prove 10 the
world that he was the master Of all
lightweights. To those who visited the
training quarters OF the Windy City
athlete, it was apparent that any feel
ing Of confidence which he may have
in his ability WAS not misplaced.
The usual programme of weight pull
ing, rope skipping and other exercises
common TO the warming up work Of
boxers was INDUCED in. and then
White called for the gloves. His sew
eral partners were none too ANXIOUS
10 get into the ring with him, but. OF
of
call of time" started the men in &C
ton. It was new White who stepped
out Of one corner and opened fire. He
did not lay back waiting for the other
man 70 lead before he countered with
his we'll known and deadly left. He
waded in. forcing every opening. and
shooting home blows from every
angle.
II Charley will only carry these tao
tics into the ring against Welsh a
lively clash will undoubtedly result.
for Welsh. while a light-tapping sort
of hitter, is game and aggressive
enough 10 hold his own in any com
pany. White can hit much harder
han Welsh. and il he can only speed
VI a bit he will have good chance
TO win.
