Welsh IS LUCKY
Title HOLDER AGAIN
Saves the Honor by Keeping
Away From Ritchie'S
Lacing
NO MATCH FOR
THE AMERICAN
BY BARRY FARIS.

United Press staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, March 12.-that Fred
die Welsh is still lightweight cham
pion Of the world today is due largely
to his ability to hold and to run away.
These two things constituted most Of
his efforts last night when he met
Willie Ritchie in Madison Square
Garden. Ritchie whipped the English
man all the way, whipped him so bad
ly that after the fight even Welsh had
nothing TO say in defense of his poor
showing.
The Californian didn't knock the
title-holder out-which was what he
had to do to regain his title--but he
did everything else to him that was
possible under the circumstances.
Ritchie's snake-like left found Welsh's
jaw time and again, but the English
man was usually running away and
the power of the blow was lost.
Welsh forgot his boasts that he was
going to stand up and fight. Almost
carried off his feet by Ritchie's rush
ing attack. the Englishman fell to
defensive boxing in the first round
and he never changed his tactics. All
through the ten whirlwind sessions he
was either running away or clinching.
Not once did he assume the offensive.
The booing and kissing of the
crowd didn't feaze the Englishman.
He refused to mix it with Ritchie at
all Even in the clinches. where
Ritchie blazed away with both hands,
Welsh was content to try and hold
instead of trying to punish.
The American never let up for a
minute. He started off like a whirl-
wind in the opening round and main
tained the pace all the way. The
nearest approach to a knockdown
came in the sixth round Ritchie's
"one-two" connected and the English
man went staggering across the ring.
AS Ritchie charged into him to follow
up his advantage. the Englishman fell
into a clinch and Referee Roche lit
orally had to pry him off the Ameri-
can.

GET TOGETHER. BOYS.

Sport Editor, EVENING JOURNAL.
During this past week / have read
of many aspirants for the amateur
basketball championship of this city.
Among those mentioned are Madeley,
Eden, Old Swedes Second and many
others. 1t seems to me that you never
hear OF real champions arguing who
is who. Madeley has been defeated
several times by teams in the city.
Glover A. c. defeated them by an
overwhelming score, as also did West
End and Brownson Second. I don't
believe they have played more than
two games with the same team. That
is not the caliber for champions. Old
Swedes has not played the teams they
should to claim the championship and
neither has Eden.
Now, as an amateur basketball
lover, / think the two teams which
should contend for the title are Glover
A. Z. and West End. These teams
have played consistent ball with the
same team each game and always ac'
quilted themselves like gentlemen.
Glover has defeated such teams as
Madeley, Young Friends First, High
land, Haskell Hall, Company OF
Milford and many others, while West
End has walloped most of her oppon-
ents. It would indeed be a great
drawing card if these two teams could
be matched on a good floor for the
city honors. am,

form only part of the enormous
bill which is being paid by both sides
in the baseball war.

receiving last season and was about
as good as any in the league. He Is a
hefty swatsmith, too. Enzenroth, the
young University of Michigan star,
will understudy Easterly. and backing
him up is Drummond Brown, also an
eX-collegian.
Stovall himself will undoubtedly
take first base again. The team needs
him badly. both at bat and covering
the bag for Georges bitterest enc
mics cannot but admit that he is a reg
ular first baseman. Bill Bradley. last

now Kaysee property, and probably
will take a shot at first baseing, but
his playing days are drawing to an
end.
