MI Harry Pollock. manager OF
L Il Freddy Welsh. seems to have
been having considerable trouble of
late in the matches he has arranged for
the champion. Mr.. Pollok has sent out
notices to the effect that efforts have
been made on three different occasions
of late to try and take the champion
ship away from Welsh by other than
fafr means. Whether this IS correct Or
not. is hard TO say. hut he advances
some very strong arguments in his IA
Nor. However. II is not possible tina
the real sporting men Of America
would attempt such a thing. There are
some people in this country. the same
as in any other. who might try and
rob a title holder of his crown by fair
means o. foul. but those people are
few and far between.
Warns Against Some Promoters
Mr.. Pollock has also taken occasion
70 warn managers OF fighters against
dealing with certain promoters. as he
claims he did not get fair treatment

curences. but like all other sports. II

come good of the whole affair. TOT II
