is still unconvinced that his protege had relinqutshed his right to the hon or he had held since July ', 1914. The contest itself, with it's sensational end ing and the crowning of new leader for the lightweight ranks. is the chief topic of discussion among sporting men. Pollock was as firm in the con- viction that Welsh was still light weight champion as he was the day before the bout and in a statement he gave as his reason for the view. The eX- champion S manager claimed that inasmuch as Welsh was not counted out. either standing up or while on the canvas of the ring. he must still be regarded as the champion, despite the fact that the Welshman was in such g helpless condition when the bout did eI5d that another blow from Leonard powerful right arm might have had fatal results.
 Pollok contends that a count had it been made over the defeated boxer, might have enabled him to weather the storm and complete the ten round journey. Few of those who witness ed the bout however. are likely to agree with Pollok. On the three oc- casions when Welsh went down be- fore the finish he immediately regain ed his feet before a count could be started, but as he lay bent over the ring ropes after the third knockdown there was absolutely no necessity for a count over his unconscious form as was shown when it was necessary for Pollok and his assistants to carry Welsh to his corner.
 After citing Rule of the Marquis Of Queensbery Rules, which reads, "a man hanging on the ropes in help less state with his toes off the ground shall be considered down." Pollok says in part:
 when boxer is down. even though he is absolutely insensib'e when he hits the floor. he has the benefit of nine seconds in which to get to his feet. It is a. reasonable sup position that a boxer who is hanging on the ropes, or in other words, still able to be on his feet. or partly on his feet. is in a better physical and mental condition than one who is 1y- ing prone on the ground. either in sensible or partly so. If the man on onds in which to get to his feet. sure ly one who still retains the perpendic- uiar is entitled to as much.
 "The above supposition is a just reasonable and sane view of such a situation. This would be even if Rule , of the Marquis of Queensbery rules were not so explicit. In view of the wording of this rule, there is ab- soluteiy no other construction which can be placed upon the situation which existed in the Hinth round of the Welsh Leonard match, last Mon day night when Referee McPhartland stepped between the contestants and sent Welsh to his corner"
 Welsh spent yesterday at his health farm outside Summit. N J. Over the telephone he voiced the same opinion as Pollok in regard to the count matter. But he treated the whole matter with philosophy.
