WELSH SHOULD
MEET C. WHITE.
Champion Ought to Give Chi
CagO Boy Crack at Title.
WOULD Be GREAT BATTLE.

Providing, of Course, the Pair Were to
Clash In Twenty Round Bout-White
In Rare Form-kid Williams All In,
Says Ertle.
Freddy Welsh, alias Fred Hall
Thomas, of Pontypridd, Wales, until
the recruiting sergeant visited that
burg, may be the worlds champion
technically, but there's a strongly root
ed belief that he will never get into
the ring with Charles White, alias
Anchovitz, the Chicago Yid.
The Chicago boy, with the name like
a delicatessen relish, has been accumu-
lating Il record for hard hitting that
stamps him as the probable winner Of
any contest over the derby route
against any scrapper in the world able
! to do 135 pounds.
! This, of course. is presuming that
! White himself can still scale that low.
/ He is getting big and is probably
creeping out of the lightweight divi-
sion. At that he is no further outside
! the American pale than is Freddie
! Welsh, who won his title at the Eng
| lish. not the American, weight.
Recently White added to his other
string of knockout victories when he
stopped that good trial horse, Matty
Baldwin, the first time that hero Of
/ go battles was ever kayoed.
Baldwin is growing passe, it is true,
but he has been q great little scrapper
and a genuine lightweight. He is one
of those good boys who have battled
harder and oftener and accomplished
much more than men like Richie who
have actually held the title.
Since last March White has knocked
out eight really good men.
Freddie Welsh has fought White
twice. The first time Freddie was not
in condition. and White defeated him il
a no decision bout The second time
Welsh was in shape and lightning fast
He rather showed up the Chicagoan al
boxing.
Welsh will do that with most light
weights in a short fight or as long as
he retains his strength. Nobody car
hit White n decisive punch while his
defense is in good working order.
Welsh. however, is old and no doub
slowing. There is Il certain round
where he would tire, and in that round
over would come the White hook, will
the sleep effects that usually follow.
Whether this round is inside the per
missible twenty round limit non,
knows. But against a strong, rugget
opponent, like White, few believ
Welsh today is good enough to last tn
distance.

ONCE CRlCKETER. WAYS ONE
George Lyon of Toronto Plays Golf
Same as He Did English Game.


George B. Lyon of Toronto plays golf
like a cricketer, says an authority. He
plays golf like n cricketer because he
is one. Once Il cricketer always a
cricketer. Lyon, SO many times cham
piOn of Canada that he has lost count,
was the oldest man who qualified for
the match play Of the national amateur
championship at the Detroit Country
club. He learned golf after he was for.
ty, and he has been playing long time
Before that he had played cricket
and engaged in other sports with nota-
bic success. His cricket shows through
his golf game in his long swing on the
tee. He uses an extraordinarily long
club, and his swing is wider and more
fattened than that of most golfers-al-
most exactly like that used in cricket.
1t enables him to get Unexpectedly
good distance without the effort and
expenditure of power most Of the play
ers use. There is no question but that
1.-The saving of effort helps him to re-
main fresh through some of the long,
hard battles on the links.

meeting. The actual business was
stated to be secret, but il was said
that methods of differenIiating between
the various local branches while at
inc same time retaining the harmonious
purpose IN their common cause was
one OF the problems taken up IL had
become necessary. II was explained to
distinguish the various branches by
distinctive names in order to avoid
confusion. SO far there is no restric-
ton upon the activities of any one
branch. save that the so-called ..legis-
lative branch is charged exclusively
with keeping the national organization
informed to the activities of Con-
gress.
The meeting. therefore, informally
discussed two bills now before Con-
