BRITON RETAINS
HIS FIGHT TITLE.
Welsh Wins Over White and
Blot Marks Decision.
SPECTATORS TAKE A HAND

On Points the Champion Was Winner,
but contender's Work Entitled Him
to Draw Critics Assert-stand
Gives Way, Precipitatins 200 TO
Ground.
Denver, Col, Sept. 5.-When Billy
Roche gave Freddie Welsh the deei.
sion over Charlie White after TWEEN.
ty rounds of scientific and interestins
championship milling the officials in
the Welsh corner were subjected to
cushion bombardment from the irate
Colorado fans, who thought the Chi.
cago challender deserved an even
break. There was a near riot around
the ringside, and Roche and Harry
Pollock, Welsh's manager, were sur.
rounded by angry spectators. Pollock.
Roche and Welsh's seconds were
struck on the head with several heavy
cushions. Wild-eyed fans threatened
them, but nothing serious happened.
Nate Lewis rushed around the
rlngslde shouting that Roche had rob.
bed White, and some of the experts
agreed with him. In the writer's opin.
ion the decision was just from a tech.
nical standpoint, Welsh scoring the
greater number of blows, even though
all of them were of the slap variety.
Whife Too Cautious.
White kept on the heels of his fat
feet too much and did not act like
himself often enough to hold his own
IN the scoring line. Charlie was even
ing up in the closing rounds, but
started too late. Fighting as he did,
in mechanical. methodicaI way, it
rounds to trim Freddie. He would
might have taken thirty or forty
have done it sooner or later, but this
was no finish affair. He knew this
when he started and should have got
busy earlier.
Welsh retained his title with
couple Of love taps-a left to the face,
hooked or poked straight, and a right
to the kidneys, used at close quar-
tiers. White made no effort to stop
the kidney pummeling and permitted
Freddie to pile up many points that
way. These two powder-puff blows,
coupled with that English defense so
well perfected by the champ, decided
the day in Roche's mind
A draw verdict would not have hurt
Welsh. Freddie was guilty of continu-
al holding, and that should have
counted against him.
Stand Falls; None Killed.
The big first show got off to a bad
start when twelve rows of bleacher
seats 200 feet long collapsed at 1:4O
p. M, carrying 400 people to the
ground with thud. They dropped
from fifteen to eighteen feet, those in
the center going down first and hard
est. No body was killed and about
twenty-five people were injured A
woman was seriously hurt about the
chest. The others were more or less
damned up, but remained for the bat
tie. sThey were given places in other
sections Of the arena. The badly hurt
were removed to hospitals.
Cheney Easy for kiIbane.
Cedar Point, O., Sept. 5.-Johnny
Kilbane of Cleveland successfully de-
Tended his title as feather-weight
champion of the world by knocking
out George CLANCY Of Baltimore in
the third round of scheduled fifteen
round fight
Kilbane stepped all around the chal-
lenger, playing his left upon his face
constantly. Clancy became wary, but
as he stepped in in the third. round
Kilbane whipped one to the jaw and
knocked him cold.

Milwaukee, Sept. 5.-The most sue
cessful tour in the history of Wiscon-
sin motordom came to close when

voting the last several weeks to a
tour of the potato district throughout

The dilemma into which the city has
been forced by peculiar financing is that
between raising the tax rate or cutting
down expenses. Controller Walton pro-
tests ON sound business principles against
the method of meeting deficits by long
term loans, method which, corresponds
to Germany's first means Of financing the
war, resulting in compound interest. The
taxpayers will naturally choose one way
ont, The unencumbered may lean to the
other. Yet It seems absurd that a city
rich beyond words should have to be
paFsimonious. and it is equally disagree.

sense. The only expenses which should
be cut down are those which do not JUS
tify themselves. The only tax rate which
should be limited is that which brings
no return in comfort and security to the
