FRED WELSH SHOWS
REVERSAL OF FORM
Lightweight Champion Trains
for Bout With Leonard and
Wins Quite Handily
LITTLE HOPE FOR WHITE

New orh, Aug - freddie
Welsh's remarkable reversal OF form
in his recent bou, with Benny Leon
ard makes Charley Whites chances
of Winning the title when they face
each other at Colorado Springs tor
twenty rounds on Labor day, look de
cidrdly slim Ii explains why Welsh
agreed to take chance with his title
i'll decision bout, something that 1t
appeared he never intended to do, In
his present form and with a friendly
referee, Wclsh'S title appears safe
enough,
Having shown that it still is pos
sible Tor him TO get into condition,
Welsh might explain why he has not
always taken the trouble to train tur
his bouts Tie has been we'll paid ior
his services and he owes ii to the pub
lie to do his best at all times. Some
OF his performances have not been
worth 5 cents on the dollar owing to
his refusal to train for the bouts.
Possibly Welsh has reason ior his
seeming cleverness. He probably
figures that he cannot afford to train
very hard Tor every bout. as there is
nothing SO wearing ON the conStitu-
ton as constant training Because Of
his desire to conserve his waning
strength he has given no thought to
the fact that ring followers expect a
rim tnr tbrIr nancy
Since Welsh won the title about all
the satisfaction the spectators al his
bouts received was the opportunity to
root for him to he knocked out so
that a more satisfactory champion
would take his place. That would not
have been the case had Welsh always
trained honestly and then put forth
his best efforts, But while that course
would have made him' more popular,
it would have shortened his career.
and Welsh is a champion who thinks
only OF the money to be made and
little or nothing OF upholdiug the
prestige OF his position.

George CLANCY is
Now Kicking About
Referee for Fight

Baltimore. Md, Aug. l2.-Ever
since boxing has developed into a
business, the selecting OF a referee
Tor an important bout has played a
more or less conspicuous part in the
preliminary proceedings. II cham
pIon be involved the title holder gen.
orally appoints himself a committee
OF one to pass final judgment upon
the referee before risking his crown.
In this connection what promised to
be a fairly lively debate has been
precipitated by the stand taken by
George Clancy, the Baltimore ieath-
erweight, who has been matched TO
box Johnny" kllbane for the feather
weight -npionship OF the world
at Cedar Point, O., on Labor day.
Through his manager, Henri Blet-
ger, CLANCY demands that his desire
IN this important matter be given
consideration. kibane has announced
that Matt" lilnkle of Cleveland, who
is promoting the bout for the title
and purse OF $1,000. or Ed" Smith
OF Chicago, will be acceptable to him,
but CLANCY refuses to agree. The
Baltimore boxer wants an eastern
man, preferably "Charley" White or
"Bill' Brown. He has gone SO far as
to ask both White and Brown if they
are willing Ia serve in the capacity if
kllbanc can be persuaded to accept
either OF them, Brown has expressed
his willingness. but White is vet to
