gratultous In fact several bankrolls will
be fattened considerably on September 4,
and, as examples. we mention the follow
ing cases:
johnny Kilbanc, $4,000, for as min
utes Of light exercise,
George Chaney. S65OO, for three
fourths Of an hours very hard work.
Carl Morris. $4,000 OF more, II the
gate" Is good.
Frank Moran, $4,000 for is rounds,
II he lasts that long.
Charley white, $4,000 for an hours
marathon run after Freddy Welsh.
Freddy Welsh Si3,500 for keeping
away from whites left hook for 90
rounds.
Jack Dillon, $4,000 for 80 minutes
labor against some ham in Now York.
Other Battles
There are other battles TO be fought, but
the participants will not grab off any of
the soft kale. Johnny Ertle mingles with
Benny Kaufman at the Olympia and re-
ceives but S1100 for his work, so he cannot
be classed with other members of the union.
Kid Williams also has a scrap some place
with some one we know nothing about, and
he, too, will be forced to get along on a
paltry thousand or so.
But looking over the list of the real
money guys II will be observed that the
only strenuous work of the day will be done
by Charles Anchovitz, called Charley White
for short Mr.. White will be kept quite
busy and in addition to that, he is the worst
paid man on the card. CLANCY also will
have his hands full, but anybody will take
n beating for S6500 cash
This Kilbane- CLANCY fuss looks to be the
hest on the bill and no doubt will draw a
record crowd. It is the most talked of
match that has been held in years, for the
boys were matched couple of times before
and nothing came of 1t. Chaney is the only
logical contender for the featherweight
crown and although he cannot be called a
topnotcher, he possesses knockout wallop
which makes him a very dangerous oppo-
nent at all times,
Kilbane has started training for the fray
and will be we'll under weight in a week
or so. Chaney has been working at sum-
mer resort outside of Baltimore and is
said to be in good shape, He now weighs
1854 and will get down to the feather
weight limit easily and still be strong.
Chaney will leave for Cedar Point, o.,
where the mill will be staged, next Sum-
day, when he will finish his training.
Welsh, 1924 Pounds!
Speaking of weights Freddy Welsh put
one over on the Dear Old Public in Denver
the other day. He has been out West
getting into shape for his mix-up with
White and has been burning up the roads
near Denver. After a hard workout he
stepped on the scales and tipped the beam
at 1874 pounds. 1t is hard to believe,
as Freddy weighed l43 when he was box
ing here last winter and never scaled un-
der 135 for any OF his big matches in
New York. However the Commissioner of
Seals and Weights OF the city OF Denver
tested the scales. and then did the weigh
ing. and to make II look right. he issued
a signed report stating that everything
was correct.
II Freddy really weighed under 130. he
has surprised every one, and we must cease
panning him about not being able to make
the lightweight limit
White is confident OF hattenlnB the cham
pion on Labor Day, and has wired all OF his
friends in Chicago to hook the family jewels
ard bet as much as they can on his chances.
Charley has been trimmed three times by
Welsh in no-decsIon bouts, but he cares
nothing for that, He has hunch that his
time 10 win has come, and showed IL when
hA met Freely in Denver the other day.
Hello, Freddy" said Charley.
"Howdy," replied Welsh.
"You know / helped you win the cham
pionship," continued White.
"Yes," said Welsh you gave Ritchie
terrible beating before met him."
"And now" retorted the challenger, II
am going to take it away from you"
