What Freddie welsh lightweight
champion. did with Patsy Drouillard.
Wednesday night. in their eight
round bout across the river. was
neither much more nor much less
than what the great majority OF the
boxing fans expected.
He easily out boxed the Windsor
boy. and went through the eight
rounds without exsrting himself
much. Drouillard was out-boxed,
but that was about all Patsy prob
ably could have gone another eight
rounds without showing traces OF
fatigue. None OF the taps showered
on him by Welsh had any effect. ex'

came so fast for Patsy that he seem
