ALTITUDE
DOESN'T WORRY White

Colorado's Justly celebrated altitude
isn't worrying Charlie White in train
ing for his 2O-round battle with Fred
die Welsh for the worlds lightweight
championship at Colorado Springs on
Labor Day.
Pipe this picture for the proof. The
Chicago knockerout is seen ascend
ing to the heights OF a telegraph pole
which CHANGED to catch his eye during
hike over the mountain roads near
his camp. Climbing has been part
of Whites daily work ever since he
donned fighting toys and little thing
like altitude is the least Of his wor-
ries.
Both principals in the big battle
played safe by arriving upon the
scene several days in advance OF theiI
titular scrap and both are fast De-
coming acclimated. White, having
fought twice in Denver, says he never
experienced any i'll effects from the
atmosphere. One of his engagements
went 10 rounds before Whites deadly
left silenced Stanley Yoakum
In addition to climbing telegraph
poles while on the road White is al
enthusiastic bicyclist and occasionally
takes load off his feet to chamber
into the saddle Of a twO-wheeler.
