Amateur ys. Pro.

Dear Sir: I wonder why they can't cut out all this bunk about Amateurs and Professionals Every one knows that it is absolutely impossible to frame any just and intelligible rule. And, moreover, every one knows that at the bottom the distinction be- tween the two classes is only another form of the we'll known alibi. If a man is better than you are, he is better, and that is the end of it. Whether he puts in more time at practice, or he has money, or what not, may be one reason why he wins. But the real underlying reason is that Inc is a better man at that game. You can't make a swan out of a duck for all the money in the world.

Lightweight Champion Forgcts His Manners and Actually K. O.'s
 Opponent.

New York, March 25-Freddy Welsh, the lightweight champion for got his manners at the Harlem Sport ing club last night and spilled blood all over the ring. It was not Welsh's blood Frankie Whitney did all the bleeding of the evening. He refused to come up for the sixth round, as- serting that he did not take any fur ther interest in the proceedings, as he could not sec his opponent.
 It was the first knockout even though a technical one, which Welsh has scored hereabouts for many day. Benny Leonard, who is to meet the champion on Friday. watch cd the fight from the ringside and professed to be unterrified.
 Whitney drew with Welsh in At- lanta about a year ago and has also knocked out Ad Wolgast. He is a hard puncher but Welsh never gave him q chance to hit.
 The champion came into the ring weighing 137 pounds, but he worked at top speed Whitney was d pound heavier and seemd to be much the more powerful man.
 Welsh thrust his left hand into Whitneys face the instant the bout began. There he kept it, save only during those intervals when he drew it back for motive power. There was a kick to the Welsh iabs and when Whitney vainly tried to cover with two hands Welsh uppercut him brisk 1y.
 Freddy kept in close, and had both hands going with great pace throughout. With all his work he kept his wind. It was a fine showing by the champion. even though his opponent was second rate.

A Willard Victory.

The odds are about 3 to that Will lard will be the most highly prevalent factor in this contest, and 1t Jumbo Jess knocks out Moran or outpoints him by number of strides the heavyweight situation will have to dispense with MT. Willard's services for some time. |.
 If Moran, a game, aggressive, hard hitting, 2OO-pound Irishmen, is un- able to make any showing against Willard, why dig up another victim :?
 Moran, next to the champion, is easily the best man in sight To match Dillon with Willard would be q, joke. The only good it would do would be to satisfy Al Thomas desire to see a, printed story of a battle be- tween q giant and, a dwarf, wherein the giant wins.
 In fiction Dillon would have a picnic with Willard. No big man in t1ction could ever hope to overwhelm one some eighty pounds lighter and and a foot shorter in stature.
 But in the ring it would be another matter. A Dillon Willard match is too much of d farce to be even thought of.

Nothing Left.

No, if Willard overpowers Moran there will be very little work for the champion for some time unless Fred Fulton comes along.
 Fred is almost as big as Willard, and he proved in his battle with Flynn that he is attached to a punch worth while.
 Moran, ii beaten by Willard, could still face q busy career. He could be used to prove the exact worth of Jack Dillon. And he could also be used as a test for Fulton.
 Fulton is a certainty as Willard's next opponent if Moran fails to give the big fellow an even fight. Nothing to it.

 This game had been widely adver- tised in this section of the country and it drew a crowd of 1.500, of which fully half were fans from Waco and other surrounding towns.
