NEW ORLEANS TO GET
ITS TURN SOON.

And then will come New Orleans.
There have been just about enough
no-decision fights now TO put the fans
into the notion of demanding some
thing decisive, and the New Orleans
season should be opening in earnest
in very few weeks. Freddy Welsh
will have to go the long route with
some one or two Of the youngsters
who have been beating him up IN
short bouts, and IL is about time Tor
Kid Williams to defend his bantam.
weight title again. And then, while
the public will be willing for the mid
dies to spend little more time In
short scraps, they will be demanding
a possession battle before very long.
All of these will be staged In New
Orleans, and Milwaukee and New
York will have TO yield the fight palm
TO the Crescent city for the remainder
OF the year very shortly.
The Tmtorich-McCarey combination
is realizing that its time has come,
and Is busily engaged in angling for

almost certain that Williams and
