White VS.. Welsh Poor Go

ATEW TORk. Feb. 1.-THE an
M nouncement that Freddie Welsh
= is willing to box Charlie White
again for the worlds light weight
championship is enough to send the
cold shivers chasing themselves up and
down a fight fans spine. It is coming
too close for temperamental benefit;
someone might be trying to put on tbs
bout and use that method OF bringing
il before the public
Charlie White isn't the man to
meet Freddie Welsh for the light
weight title. He has had many
chances and not once made good
On one occasion he tackled the job
over the 20 round route and made
such n fiat failure OF IL that he
wasn't even considered when IL
came 10 discussing the referees de-
cisIOn.
It's too bad that White can't develop
into \ real contender for Welsh's title.
But he can't and that ends the discus
sion He isn't aggressive enough In
dOubtedly If he got close enough and
could be induced TO come out OF his
hypnotic state long enough he would
slip the old left hand over and II would
be curtains for Welsh But Welsh is
far too clever and smart TO permit the
left hand to connect with his Jaw.

cent bout AZ Colorado Spring. that
