FRED WELSH EXAMPLE
OF "HUMAN" FIGHTER
Former Champion Was Friendly
to Ring Opponents.
While Champion He Was Smart
Enough Not to Engage in Contests
Where Referee Was Empowered
to Render Decisions.

Here's another story concerning the
human fighter. 1t concerns the little
Englishman who for several years held
the worlds lightweight championship,
only to lose 1t to Benny Leonard, pres
ent title holder, writes Ray Pearson in
Chicago Tribune. Welsh was one of
the smartest fellows we ever had in
the ring; not alone smart wielder of
the mitts but a smart thinker. He
made boxing a business, or, in other
words. he played the game, just as
many glove men do, simply for the
coin that is in it.
But Welsh wasn't constructed like
most other fighters. For a man who
reached the top rung of the ladder he
was rather frail in construction. For
that reason he found out early in his
pugilistic career that II he was to get
anywhere it would not be through abil-
ity to take it," as they say Of scrap
per who is able to assimilate punish
ment.
The art of -cleverness was the thing
that Welsh set out to perfect, and he
accomplished that purpose, as was
demonstrated when he became cham
pion Of 'em all.
While Welsh was champion he was
smart enough not to engage in con-
tests ia which the referee was en-
powered to orant decisions. Therefore

paw roll After you've got the men,
all you have to do is sit there, make
sure they use the right play at the
right time and see to it that the
spirit of the team makes every man
play up to the limit Of his effective
ness.
But, getting the right man is the
hard work That's what makes or
breaks a manager. The rest is easy.
The best manager in the world will
be frost in the public eye if he hasn't

ORIENT TO TAKE UP
BOXING IN EARNEST
Promoter Plans Clubs in China,
Japan and Philippines.
Frank Churchill Organizing Clubs in
Manila, Hongkong, Shanghai and
One Other City, Either in
China or Japan.

1t hos taken long time to get the
Orient into the boxing game, but the
outlook is bright now for the mitt
game in the land where Aguinaldo
made life so unpleasant after the
Yanks took hold, and also in China,
where the natives have little use for
athletics in any form. There have
been boxing matches in the coast ports
where the British and Americans have
Churchill. a popular sportsman of Ma
Mia, to put the game on a business
basis and conduct it in up-tOdate
style, writes T. S. Andrews in Chicago
Daily News.
About three years ago Mr.. Churchill
organized thc Olympic Athletic club
in Manila and since then has had the
game going at good clip, except for
brief spell lately, when some of the
busy politicians tried to interfere.
With so many Yankee tars and sol
diers assigned to duty in the Philip
pines, it became an easy matter to in
terest them in the sport. The result
was irregular boxing shows, which
later developed into a regular bust
ness. 1t was then that Frank Churchill
hit upon the idea to put boxing on a
similar plane to that in America and
England. Thereupon he organized his
club and interested some of the best
business men of Manila in the sport.
It was not confined to the Americans
and British DQOn1o hut tO tho native
FilipinOs as well, and they have taken
to it.
There have been many natives de-
velOped into fairly good boxers, and
some of them have made good in Aus
tralia, especially Silvino JamitO, Andre
Flores and Kid Deucio. Zu Zu and
Marcario Flores have also made good
On the Pacific coast of late under the
care of Joe Waterman, an American,
who has been making Manila his home.
JamitO and DenciO have been very
successful and have beaten most of
the boys they have met, including some
fairly good American boxers. The
Filipino is very apt pupil and as a
rule is pretty game.
It is the intention of Mr.. Churchill
now to organize circuit of boxing
clubs In the Orient, to take in Manila,
Hongkong, Shanghai, and possibly
one other city, either in China or
Japan. With these oriental clubs in
| line it will mean an interesting trip
for any of the American boxers who
decide to make it in the future.

Participants in Rugby, Cycling, Fenc-

ring, as long as he wasn't knocked
out there was no chance of the titles
being taken away from him.
There were any number of times
that Welsh was beaten by wide mar
gin in no-decision bouts, from which,
had decision been permissible, new
champion would have emerged.
