White fought Freddy twenty rounds
In Colorado Springs, and made such
a poor showing. when every one pres
ent knew only a tap was needed to
tip Freddy over. that the collection OF
seat cushions. pop bottles and hip
pocket TASKS shovelled from tho ring

Tommy Ryan and jock Root nascoed
at Jack McGuignn's place in Phlia-
delphia. White also boxed Welsh In
Brooklyn, which 10 about all We can
say OF the affair. and twice boxed him
ten rounds In Milwaukee,.
Benny Leonard never had a twen-
fy-round chance at Welsh. He boxed
him two ten-round goes. and next
time, knowing all ABOUT wnat Freddy
had and hadn't, went after him like
Dempsey after willard. and'hung him
ON the ropes, out. in nine ROUNDS.
