Welsh, in Form,
Should Easily
Defeat White
Bv ". O. MCCLELLAN.

IL Freddie Welsh retains the form
he showed when he met Bonnie Leon
ard the second time he should tie
Charlie White into double bowknots
in that twenty-round go at Colorado
Springs on Labor Day. Until Leonard
made him look like a novice in their
first fight Welsh was content TO stall
and hug through bout. But when
he met the Harlemite the second time
he looked like a champion for the hrst
time since he took the title from Willie
Richie in London.
Welsh probably will not hurt White
10 any extent on Labor Day, but If
White hits Welsh anywhere at any
time it probably will be by accident.
white is decidedly less promising as
a contender than Leonard. He has
punch on his port side, but it takes
him an hour 10 swing the battery into
action. Leach Cross made the lead
footed Chicagoan look like Ounce
when they fought at the Garden.
On form there is no chance Of the
title changing hands on Labor Day.
Leonard had the best chance to get 1t
on the knockout route. and he did not
come within a mile of it at Washing
ton Park or course, there Is the
chance Of a lucky punch, but Welsh is
a most cautious person, and the man
who lands lucky punch on him will
have to have something more than a
four-leaf clover. q horseshoe and rab-
bits foot
The chances are greatly in favor OF
Welsh retiring with the title unless he
Boxes Bonnie Leonard once too often.
Harry Pollok is greatly panied be
cause Jack McAulife is inclined to be-
ieve that he was better fighter than
Freddie Welsh is to-day. or course,
Jack is a little gray around the tenn
piles and little wide around the porch.
but somehow we are inclined to believe
.hat ne would not do so badly in a
short bout with Welsh to-day. Put an
Oregon boot on Freddie. so that Jack
would not have 10 run too fast to catch
him. and Jack might slip something
over at that.
I. begins to look as though Francis
Charles Moran did not take the Carl
Morris bout at Tulsa Okla, any too
seriously. Francis has taken his BEN
zine buggy with him. and. from all &C
counts. he does most OF his roadwork
sitting back on the cushions.
It's bad stuff for Francis, who ad-
mits that he has developed a Broadway
Belt Line. Certainly he was not in
shape when he faced Dillon. The bout
cos; him considerable in money and
prestige

Charles 10th, of Boston, and
Henry Sullivan, of Lowell,
Face Hard Test.

Guarded by fully equipped shark
fighters, Charles 10th, of Boston. and
Henry Sullivan, of LEVEL, will en-
gage on Saturday in 4O-mile ocean
match race. from Nantasket to Prov
incetown. across the mouth OF Mas
sachusetts Bay.
10th swan last summer from
Charlestown Bridge to Boston Light
and back in 10 hours AZ minutes. SET
ting an American time record for con
tinuous swimming; Sullivan few
weeks ago covered the 80 miles from
Nantasket to within 8 miles OF Prov
incetown in II hours 20 minutes.
From the latter performance 1t Will
be seen that the rivals face STEADY
grind of about eighteen hours. Each is
confident of reaching the goal and
defeating the other.
Bud Goodwin's victory in last Mon
DAYS race for the metropolitan one
mile swimming championship aroused
feeling of regret at his inability TO
start in the national event at this DIS
lance, and thereby test his speed
against Ludy LANCER. of the Los An
geles A. c. Despite repeated col
lisions with opponents and crowding
which forced him to cover most OF
the course with one arm continuous
striking the side of the pool, Goodwin
finished within II seconds of Langer's
record Of "a minutes 80 2-5 seconds.
Pitted against the Californian in open
water. there is hardly a doubt that IL
would have taken new figures to beat
him.
Philadelphians expect to oct back
on Saturday the 100-yard Sackett cup,
which the New York A. c. swimmers
have annually lifted for several sea
sons. They believe that with Herbert
Vollmer and Teddy Cam on the Coast
the local organization will not hnd
Splinter fast enough to defeat Ray
mord Uhl. Of Lansdowne School, who
is doing the century consistently under

The promised visit to this country
