MILWAUKEE. Wis, August -
Charlie White. the Chicago lightweight
and contender for Freddy Welsh's
crown, is taking no chances about the
climate in Colorado. Charlie is
matched to fight Freddy Welsh twenty
rounds at Colorado Springs. Labor day,
and he wants 70 be acclimated when he
steps into the ring with the title mold
er. 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 box
ing until the last week of his train
ing. as he wants to be thoroughly ac-
climated first. Freddie Welsh is just
as wise to the fact that he will be in
high altitude and for that reason he
intends to have considerable advance
training around Denver. However,
Freddie has been there before and
knows the climate thoroughly. The
weight will suit both of them nicely, as
il will be at 135 pounds at 3 o'clock.
This is the chance that White has been
waiting for a long while, but II Welsh
shows the form that he displayed
against Benny Leonard in their last
contest in New York the chicago Iad
speedy champion. There may be such
4 thing as White catching Welsh mt
tie OF color but aside from that II does
not seem possible that he viii have
chance to outpoint the title holder in
twenty rounds.
Richie Mitchell. the Milwaukee
lightweight. who is also challenger
for the title. is so interested in the
contest that he intends to make a trip
there for the express purpose of watch
ing both men in action, as he feels

ship.
Frank Moran. the Pittsburgh heavy
weight is at Tulsa. Okla, training for
his fifteen-round battle with Carl Nor
ris on Labor day. Frank is just be-
ginning to realize that he will have as
big a man to face Labor day in the
Oklahoma giant as when he faced Jess
Willard at Madison Square 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 opponent with his long left
as well as Jack Johnson did, while Carl
has to use his left in kind of sweep
ing movement. enabling one to avoid II
II ne has any speed at all. or course,
Morris may have improved since his ap-
pesrsnce in the east. when he slammed
about with Gunboat Smith, and IL he
has he is liable to make matters very
Interesting for the Pittsburgher- Nor
ris has q very clever handler back of

be surprising in the least to hear of
Morans defeat
