CAN MIR. WELSH
HOLD HIS TITLE
ANOTHER YEAR?

Champion Freddie Welsh has held
the lightweight title a little over two
years. The chances are he won't hold
it a third. 1t is true that Welsh went
twenty rounds with Charlie White. and
it is also true that he got the decision.
But that was to be expected. Welsh
was given his choice of opponents and
he designated White, which proved in
his estimation that White was less
competent than any of the challengers-
Even at that White gave him a run,
and proved that the next good boy
that meets Welsh will trim him. In
the thirteenth round Welsh was all but
out on his feet from the effects of the
pace and Whites punches. And he
was none too fresh at the finish, even
tho he conserved his energies turnout.

Washburn Football Men Get Down to
Work in Earnest

More men heard the last call of the
fair Saturday afternoon than the call
of the coach for Washburn football
practice, only about 20 men showing
I'D on the field. They went thru the
familiar round of last weeks practice,
kicking, then practice in getting down
the field after punts followed by an
hours forward pass scrimmage.. The
same program will be kept up for the
first part of this week. it being the
coach's endeavor to condition his men
and secure a surer handling of the
ball.
At 2:30 this afternoon twenty fresh
men were expected on the field and
were to be organized by the coach into
a team. The freshmen with Bulge,
Willis. Askew, Wilson. Stenger and
Bingham, put up almost as formidable
appearance as the varsity.
Football practice got its real start
this afternoon with more than 40 in
suits. Charley horses. sore feet
bruises and aches were forgotten over
sunday and a complete assortment OF
Washburn stars and prospective stars
were ready for the weeks grind

MIGHTY IS FEAR"
sSnowy" Baker Tells of the
Rings Greatest Coward.
Darcy Licked Him Without
Striking a Single Blow.
BY FRANK G. NIENKE.

New York, Sept. 1S.-"Snowy" Ba-
ker, the Australian promoter, comes
along with an amusing story concern
ing a Rumanian battler who went to
Australia to keel Monsieur Darcy
and nearly died of fright when the
opportunity offered.
ALEX Costica was his name" writes
Baker. HE came to Sydney heralded
as the fighting wonder of Europe. He
boosted of victories over most of the
best battlers in that part of the world.
And nothing would do but that l.
should match him with Les Darcy. So
| did.
''All during the preliminary train
ing. Costica was boasting about what
he would do to Darcy. Up to that
time he thought Les was a shine
That was due largely to the fact that
Red Watson, an American fighter,
was kidding Costica by telling him
Darcy Was a joke.
Costica's Pedals Chilled.
But when the time drew near for
the fight, Costica began to learn the
| truth about Darcy; he came to I'M
derstand that Darcy was a pretty good
scrapper. He hurriedly looked up
Darcy's record and when he had
studied it thoroly all his courage
seemed to ooze away.
"A day SO before the fight,
Costiea. claimed he was very sick A
doctor examined him and pronounced
him in perfect physical condition. At
a. M on the Saturday of the fight,
I Costica was missing from his bed His
| trainers began a search for him. Cos
tica was captured in the woods near
his camp. streaking it in an opposite
| direction
THE boys hustled Costica back to
his camp and the doctor was called
"a Il
from nothing but fright and worry
over the coming fight with Darcy
The doctor prescribed for him. He
gave him strychnine but I didn't know
ABOUT it until some time afterward
Fearing he might try to make an
tother getaway before fight time the
manager of Costica, after giving him
strychnlne, locked him in room then
nailed shut the door and double
barred the windows. Costica was kept
tuere untli that night when he was
liberated only to be led into the ring.

John X. Tener. president of the National

! when working fast than when taking his
/ time is all pitchers are coached to do
when they get in tight places
Tener points out that Mathewson. Nc
Ginnity. Radbourne. Rucker and all the
/ great pitchers of all time have been fast
I workers. And the \. L. prexy opines that
/ if more youngsters were taught to speed
up instead of to take their time" they
would get by better. And maybe he s
right about it. Tener used to be pitcher,
you know.
/ Our observation is that it isn't the pace
/ that counts so much with a young pitcher
/ as it is the mental attitude. If the man
on the mound. be he young old. has the
/ confidence and anything else at all to 90
| with 1t, he is pretty apt to get by But
il his heart is in his mouth, the sooner he
| is removed the better.
| Most pitchers have confidence when they
tegin a game. They get the habit of hav-
ing il. But it is the man who holds his
confidence when in bad holes that de
velopes into the Alexander and the John
son. In pitching. in anything else. you've
got to believe in yourself to win. and il
you believe strong enough and have aver
age ability you will get there no matter
whether you are fast or slow
