MI Charlie White. the Chicago
IL lightweight and contender for
Freddie Welsh's crown, is taking no
chances about the climate in Colorado.
Charlie is matched to fight Freddie
Welsh 20 rounds at Colorado Springs.
Labor Day. and he wants 10 be ac-
climsted when he steps into the ring
with the titleholder. Charlie has been
in Colorado Springs for the past week
with his trainers doing road work up
around the mountains. He will do
very little boxing until the last week
OF his training, as he wants to get
thoroughly acclimated first. Freddie
Welsh is just as wise to the fact that
he viii be in a high altitude and for
that reason he intends to have con-
siderable advance training around
Denver. However Freddie has been
there before and knows the climate

The weight will suit both of them
nicely as it will be at 135 pounds at

White has been waiting for a long
while, but if Welsh shows the form
that he displayed against Benny
Leonard in their last contest in New

Moran Trains for Morris.
Frank Moran, the Pittsburg heavy
weight, is at Tulsa, Okla, training
for his Is round battle with Carl
Morris on Labor Day. Frank is just
beginning to realize that he will have
as big q man to face on Labor Day
in the Oklahoma giant, as when he
faced Jess Willard at Madison Suare
Garden in New York last spring. There
will be one difference in the work of
the two giants-Morris, while he has
long reach, does not use his left TO
the same advantage as Willard
Jess knows how TO poke his oppon-
ent with his long left as well as Jack
Johnson did, while Carl has to use his
left in a kind of sweeping movement.

may have improved since his appear

he has he is liable to make matters
very interesting for the PIttsburgher.
