WELSH BEATEN
IN 10 ROUNDS
Ever Hammer of Chicago
Pounds Champion, Who
Claims Injury.

Milwaukee. Wis, April 24-Ever
Hammer. Chicago lightweight boxer
decisively defeated champion Freddie
Welsh on points here tonight in a fast
ten round no-decision contest.
Welsh was battered numerically in
every round with the exception of the
fifth which was even in the opinion Of
newspaper critics. He left the ring
with a pulled eye, a bloody ear and
mouth.
Hammer finished unmarked and
strong. He was the aggressor all the
way and used botn right and left to
head and body at will. Welsh en-
ployed all his ring knowledge in a vain
effort to evade the Chicago boy
Hammer time and again forced Welsh
to run and hang on. He rocked the
Englishman many times with right and
left swings to the jaw and in the
seventh round with a powerful left
hook to the jaw lifted the champion of
his feet and had the crowd in an up
roar.
After returning to his hotel. Welsh
exhibited what he claimed was n frac-
tured right hand. The fracture. accord
ing to the champion. is half way back

finger in the middle Of the back of the
hand The break. Welsh said. followed
blow which struck Hammer on the
elbow in the second round. The physi-
clan Of the boxing com lission. who
examined the hand, claimed it was only
an injury in the nature of what is
known as puff or bad bruise.
welsh claims he was unable to use his
hand after the second round.

AS GOOD AS
A Chew OF
"SPEAR HEAD
That Means the Supreme De.
gree of Rich, Luscious
Tobacco Flavor
NO OTHER CHEW EQUALS IT

Nature varies the flavor she puts into
the different grades of tobacco leaf
and the best of all is the flavor OF
choice red Burley that pleases YOU SO
nightly when you chew Spear Head.
The delicious fruity flavor of a chew
of Spear Head IS a revelation to the
man who has never chewed or who has
been chewing near-good tobacco.
For chewing IS the one way to get
all the wholesome, healthful, appetizink,
flavor of the tobacco leaf-providing
you chew a high-grade Ping like Spear
Head
No other tobacco can compare with
Spear Head in the wholesome satisfac-
ton It gives.
You get more savory sweetness in a
chew of Spear Head than in a whole
plug of ordinary tobacco.
And you get It in its purest form
for Spear Head is made amid the most
wholesome surroundings, in a great.
new factory that's kept absolutely clean
and sanitary.
Try this rich, mellow. satisfying. pure
chew. Such chew cannot be obtained
in any other tobacco than Spear Head

"Beck's" Amen Corner
BY "BECK.-

WHEN the EverybOdys clash with
w the Wall in the Commercial
league on May 7, the game should
prove one of the biggest attractions
of the year. Both teams are going
strong right now and many believe
that the pennant race will be be-
tween these clubs.
KRACKAJACKS meet the Wall
= team next Sunday. Lucas viii
work for the hardware team but
manager "Curly" Smith also has an
other pitching prospect under cover
and may use him. While Juan
Gomez has announced that Marquez
will work for the Mexicans it is a
safe bet that Villareal will be within
hailing distance in case the Kracka-
jacks begin to connect with the new
hurler's delivery.
PROFESSIONAL boxers have been
gathering some easy coin in the
so called amateur" four round bouts
in San Francisco but when the pro-
moters put in such a well known
professional as Joe Azevedo last
week, the police commission called a
halt and now only the "simon pure"
brand of amateurs are to have a
chance to don the mitts in the Cali
fOrnia city.

Britton match at New Orleans. April
"a That would be pretty soft for
Packey. but he has not made Up his
mind as yet whether he viii accept
or not.
Another offer is for $4,000 from a
Milwaukee club for a meeting with
Mike Gibbons. the St Paul phantom,
at 154 pounds. There are some cham
piOns who have never received such
sums as have been handed out to the
Chicago lad. Had Packey tried to cap
ture a title outside of the lightweight
class he would no doubt have been sue
cessful. but he always preferred to try
to hold to the 1873 pound division when
he would have been better off in the
welterweight class. The new pound
age for welterweights-147 - should
suit Pac5ey nicely.
Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee light
weight who shares the honor of being
a real contender for the crown worn
by Freddy Welsh, with Charlie White
and Benny Leonard, would like to have
a try with the champion over the 20
round route. Richie met Welsh in 4
ten round bout and held him good and
even, which is saying considerable, for
Freddy came in fully eight to ten
pounds heavier that the Milwaukee
boy.
Mitchell now wants to battle with
Charlie White or Leonard and would
not be averse to entering an elimina-
ton tourney with those two stars. the
winner to get the match with Welsh
for the championship. 1t is only a
question Of time when Mitchell will
have to meet Leonard. as the fans will
demand that they meet, and when they
do it should be "A treat as both are of
the cleaner type, with fast lefts and
plenty of steam behind their blows.
These boys had better get together
and see who will get Welsh for title
bout for the champion viii not be dali
lying around the ring much longer
Freddy has made up his mind to re-
tire for good in another year and the
chances are he viii not have more than
one more long battle, win or lose.

EELDMANS and Seventh infantry
are down to meet next Sunday
and it will be a battle for cellar
hOnors. There's no reason in the
world while these teams shouldn't be
higher in the race but they'll have
to get some real pep" into their
players if they intend to be in the
running.
ONCE more we hear a report of
Freddie Welsh being beaten but
in the closing paragraph we find that
Welsh boxed from the second round
with a broken hand. Ever Hammer
is coming along fast but it is hard
to believe that he is yet a candidate
for championship hOnors. Moreover,
we have come to look upon these
Milwaukee "no-decision verdicts"
with a bit of doubt. ANY Chicago
boxer taking part in a Milwaukee
bout is pretty near sure of a verdict,
for the Chicago scribes go up in force
and naturally boost for their fellow
tOwnsman.

TED LEWIS made a sensation in
the welterweight ranks a few
months rgO and cleaned up all the
welters, near-welters and a few
middleweights but his manager was
too keen for the coin and Ted went
rather stale. He couldn't "come
back" at New Orleans on Monday
night and Jack Britton copied the
welte- title for it was really a cham
pionship bout.

though there will be a real race for

TULSA, Okla, is getting back on

eye on some of the easy coin that
the OklahOmans seem willing to part
with. Jim COffey is carded to box
Morris there but it is likely II f the

We will again try and make it as
plain as possible.
First--If you subscribe Ito The

lar now. it will pay you up for one
year. By paying in advance you save
twenty cents each year. But should
you not desire to pay in advance
then The Herald costs you ten cents

would be sixty cents. Ii you have
not paid for your paper in advance
and you owe for eight months you
owe The Herald eighty cents. Should
you desire TO become one OF the ad-
vance payers, it would be necessary
for you TO pay all of your arearage
and then one dollar for another year
in advance. We trust that we have
made this plain. Fifty cents pays
for five months only.

TINE STATION.

Plans Tor a modern quarantine
station for New Orleans to cost
100000 We're submitted 10 the
House Saturday by Secretary Nc
Adoo who asked for an immediate
appropriation Of $4,000 to begin
construction.
The new station is to be seven
miles from New Orleans on the west
bank OF the Mississippi. on land do
mated to the government for the pur-
pose by the city. The present sta
ton is ninety miles below the city
and it is contended that the change
would work for greater convenience
and economical administration.
Surgeon General Blue in urging
the transfer, said that the isolated
location of the station now is work
ing an injury 10 commerce at New
Orleans. The site was selected. he
said, when the mode Of transmission
OF many quarantinable diseases was
not thoroughly understood, it being
believed that such ailments as yell
low fever and similar diseases were
conveyed through the air for CON
siderable distances. Now that il
has been demonstrated that quaran-
tine stations can be located near
large cities quite safely. he added,
the New Orleans station should be
moved for the sake OF general eff
ficiency.
