CHAMPION WELSH
TO co 20 ROUNDS
Freddie Signs With Denver Syndicate
for Labor Day BOut-OppOnent
to BE Selected Later.

Denver, July 6.-Freddie Welsh,
worlds champion lightweight, def
nitely has accepted an offer of ST. 800
for a 20-round decision battle for the
championship before the Colorado
Springs Athletic club, known as the
Hundred Million Dollar club, on La
Dor day. An opponent will be selected
from this list. Charlie White, Benny
Leonard, Ever Hammer, Johnny Dun
dee.
1t was first reported yesterday that
Welsh had signed articles, and he
would have signed them but for the
fact he was compelled to catch a fast
train for San Francisco yesterday af-
ternoOn to bid goodbye TO his sister
who sails for the Malay peninsula Sat
urday.
The articles will be signed upon
the deposit of a guarantee, which will
be accomplished upon Welsh's return
here. The club officials were prepar-
ed to put the money in the bank today,
but all arrangements could not be
made before Welsh left.
The purse offered by the club for
the bout is $4,000 Yesterdays prop
osition made to Welsh is far more lib
eral than previous demands of Welsh,
privilege of the gate receipts.
Under the present arrangement the
club takes all the chances. Any re-
ceipts above the amount guaranteed
to the champion and to his opponent
will go to the club.
The right to choose the opponent
rests with the club instead of with
Welsh. This provision was inserted
because of the fact that Welsh is
scheduled to meet Charlie White of
Chicago, who normally would be the
choice, in a no-decisiOn battle at Min
neapOlis July 81. While ii is not an
ticipated that there will be any def
mite result from this bout, it is i'm
possible to tell what will happen in
a fight, and White may be eliminated
Just before he left for San Fran
cisco Welsh said:
They say that | am afraid of White
and l have lodged him time and again
AS matter of fact, | know that
White is a good man, and do not pro
pose to meet him in a 20-round battle
until | am we'll paid for the fight. The
Colorado Springs club is the first one
which has definitely agreed to meet
my demands without quibbling, and
my first choice for the bout will be
Charlie White"
