K|LbANE
BLAMED
BY WELSH
BY H. C. HAMILTON


NEW YORK. June 15.-The terrific
beating dolled out to Freddie Welsh
when he met Johnny Kilbane in New
York probably is as much responsible
as anything for the fact that Benny
Leonard is now lightweight champion
of the world. Jimmy Dunn believes it.
Kilbane is certain of il, and more tnan
one follower of the fistic game is in
clined to believe there is something in
it,
1t is undeniably true that Welsh re-
ceived a thorough pasting from klipan-.
and it is also an unchallenged fact that
Welsh was faster in his blocking and
had more speed when he started with
kiIbane than when he met the New
York lightweight. Kilbane hit Welsh
everywhere except right on the spot
that Welsh always had kept covered un-
til he met Leonard. If Kilbane had
been given the same opportunity for
victory that presented itself to Leonard
he probably would be wearing a crown
on each angle of his curled locks.
The only thing l am sorry for

Leonard. He's a grand little scrapper.
But l certainly believe I would have
finished Welsh that night quicker than
he did. I started Welsh 10 Oblivion and
Leonard finished the trick.
Dunn declared Kilbane a much better
workman in the ring than Leonard.
"Kilbane is a one-punch knockerout."
he declared. and Leonard is not If
KiIbene had been in the ring with
Welsh the night he lost the champion
ship instead of Leonard. you wouldn {
be hearing any arguments as to whether
or not the referee erred in not counting
over Welsh. Mr.. Welsh would have
been on the floor and he would have
been carried to his corner if Johnny had
landed on his head. Believe me. that's
right. If you don't believe kilbane hits
that hard you might ask George
Clancy"
The argument over which of these
champions is the more sudden finisher
and whether one is really so much bet
ter than the other probably will soon be
settled. for arrangements are being
made to bring them together. The
match probably will be pulled off July
4. either in Ohio or New York
