WELSH TRAINING
TOO HARD CLAIM
Fear Champion viii Go Stale If He
Does Not Let Up on Work
White in Fine Shape.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. 81
What chance, if any, has Charlie White
to wrest the lightweight championship
of the world from Freddie Welsh when
they go to it for 20 rounds here on
Labor day?
That is the question now puzzling
the average fight fan, for in the last
week or so there has been a campaign
of publicity from the champions camp
intended to convince the public that
Freddie is a sure winner, and many of
the fight critics who have seen the two
boys in action numerous times also
have tended to take the Welsh side as
a result of Freddie's great showing in
his most recent 10-round engagement,
in which he got the popular verdict
over the tough Hebrew. Bonnie Leon
ard of New York
AS a matter OF fact, after looking
over the situation in the training quar-
tiers, were of the opinion that White
not only has a corking good chance
against the champion, but that if Fred
die continued to work as he is now
working he will enter the ring drawn
down too fine and will not be in con-
dttion to put up his usual fiashy battle.
AS for the betting. the odds of 3 to 8,
with the champion the favorite, are ar
tificial and do not prevail among the
fans. They were first quoted by Den
yer poolroom at the opening of bust
ness on the fight, and the first wagers
made possibly were placed at that fig
ure. Then the big money began to
come in, notably one wad of $4,000
from Nat Goodwin to be placed on
White, and the odds quickly slumped
to about even, where they stand now.
1t is evident now that White will
crawl through the ropes an even mon
ey chance with the public, and at the
last moment he may be a slight IA
vorite. for there is little Welsh coin
in sight.
