WELSH MAKES Fool I

MILWAUKEE. Via. Feb. 26.--
Freddie Welsh holds two titles today

worlds champion kidder. He won
the latter when. for 80 minutes last
Eight, he subjected Charley White TO
the most unmercifulf kidding a hghter
ever has undergone White failed 70
land clean blow In the whole 10
rounds, and his bewilderment at times
was SO ludicrous that Welsh had to
stand still and laugh at him. Freddie
peppered his opponents anatomy at
a rate that would have required an
adding machine to keep tab.
The first round was tame. with
Welsh early showing his superiority.
The second was even more colorless
and neither had an advantage. From
then on 1t was riot Welsh would
jab his left into Whites features as
many times as he thought the occa-
sion required. then slam right or
two TO the body. Charley's famous
left hook always whistled over the
welshman's head or was smothered
In protective glove. The crowd. a
small one, was White aggregation,
but II couldn't repress roars Of laugh
ter at the antics of its favorite.
White made bid in the ninth and
rushed Welsh so furiously that Fred
die had 20 take the Offensive but the
round closed without either landing
an effective punch.
The tenth was all Welsh's. Welsh
made weight for the first time since
he won the championship and put ar
the best battle In that time. He
weighed 135 and White 134.
