WELSH HAS HOPES
OF COMING BACK
Former Lightweight Cham
pion to Attempt "the
Impossible"

NEW YORK, Jan. 1o.-where
countless others have failed, Freddy
Welsh thinks he'll succeed.
Welsh is trying d comeback and
hopes to become lightweight cham
pien again.
Since May %, 1917, when Welsh
lost his title to Benny Leonard in
New York, he has remained in re-
tirement.
When the call came, Freddy, al
though a native Briton, hoped to
the colors with Uncle Sam and rose
to the rank of captain in the med
ical department.
Following his discharge he open
ed a health farm in Summit, n. J.
Coming back in the tube from
Jersey after the Leonard Dundee
fight one night last winter, Welsh
still in his uniform, told a group
of friends with him:
We'll, boys. I'm coming back I'm
in good condition and l don't weigh
pound more than those boys
scaled tonight"
The former champion wisely pick
ed a set up" for his second debut
One While Kid" Green faced him
recently in a bout in Newark and
refused to come out for the fifth
round.
Sure. he was easy" Welsh said
commenting on the bout. III had
picked a frst-class lightweight I
would have been put out. I'm going
to take on several more work out
boys and then start after the sec
ond- -stringers. Jackson Mitchell and
Tender will come next, and IL 1
get past them, I'm sure Benny Leon
ard will give me a return bout for
the championship"
welsh frankly admits that his re-
turn to the ring is not so much a
move to regain lost prestige as to
earn money.
81 need the money. A couple of
lively seasons in the ring will net
me enough to keep my little family
the way I want it kept" he said.
Welsh looked good physically in
his return engagement. He weigh
ed 1877 pounds, but had enough sur
plus on him to indicate that he can
get down to the lightweight limit
without trouble.

1t is always simple enough to
stand on the outside and toss in
suggestion. This applies to the
present baseball situation as well as
any form Of industry or trouble.
As we understand 1t, Judge Lam
dis intends this coming spring to
transfer the game from the 'aag-
mates offices to tho playing fiel1.
which would be the wisest move
that any one could possibly make.
But before this transfer can be
made there are still several mat
ters which 1t Is vitality necessary
to handle in proper fashion at the
winter conclaVe.
What must be done isn't a mat
ter of expediency but of necessity
If baseball is 20 look for any pat
ronage or support next spring and
summer.
The Main Jobs Ahead.
The first move 10 be pade, Of
course, is in connection with the
Chicago White SoX scandal, and
every other crooked ballplayer, with
especial attention paid to naming
and branding every gambler that
had any hand in the attempted
wrecking of the game.
This case isn't closed. by any
means.
Every fan in ATerIcl is entitled
to know the nams of every crooked
player and to be shown that every
effort has been male ID hang the
branding iron upon every gambler
involved, with especial attention
paid to the main cro5ks.
II this can't be done it will merely
be unfortunate for the future of
the game, for no explaining will be
sufficient to clear up the atmos-
phere. American fans have faith
in Judge Lands. They haven't as
much faith in MANY rf the Others.
In the beginning Ban Johnson
and several club owners opposed
the Landis arrangement. It is now
up. TO johnson and these club own
ers to cooperate in every way with
the new ruler OF the game to see
that the entire smear of dirt is
cleaned out of the corridor.
Other Moves.
This isn't the only move that
must be made. There have been
reports that one or two club owners
owned stock or control in other
clubs.
In the cleaning-up process II
should be necessary for each club
owner to take an oath that he
owns no stock in any outside club
and 1t should also be necessary
for each club to name its owner
or owners under oath.
The game isn't going to stand
for any syndicate baseball. This is
matter of extreme Importance
which Judge Lands undoubtedly
VIII handle in thorough fashion.
These rumors of syndicate base
oall may be true or untrue. But

ARMY NOW AFTER
BREWER, REPORT
West Point Officials Refuse
To Deny or Confirm
Rumor.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1o.-Brooke
'Untz" Brewer. captain Of Mary
land University's 1921 football
eleven and one of the greatest
schoolboy athletes ever developed
in the East. is the latest college
star upon which West Point ath-
letic authorities have cast their
eagle eyes, according TO reports
freely circulated along the Hudson
tonight
Asked over the telephone to con-
Arm or deny the Brewer rumor,
those in charge OF sports at the
Point merely replied: Take it for
what it's worth. 1t fits in well
with the same type OF propaganda
which has been published since the
end of the football season"
Pressed to give a definite answer
the voice replied: 1T can't be done.
It's too foolish to think about. "
and broke the connection.
The report concerning Brewer, it
must be admitted, does Mt in well
with what the Point officials are
pleased to term propaganda" Nu-
merous other rumors linking the
names of college grid stars with
West Points 1921 football team
have neither been substantisted or
denied at the Military Academy.
Curly Byrd. coach of the Mary
land University eleven could not
be reached up to a late hour this
morning. Brewer also could not
be located.

TOLLYER'S COMMENT
~ on the Sport of Kings
Barry Shannon.
By BERT E. COLLYER

Barry Shannon.
The dynamiters have finally de-
cided to turn this bird loose. l say
this advisedly because l know where
bundle of the filthy was placed
overnight.
Now a word to the wise is usu-
ally as good as a kick in the stats.
Tantalus is also fit and good and
for a take-a-chance bet across the
board he looks excellent.
Little Billy Bowlegs has him fit
to sing with Mary Garden. Fair
Orient should hold the others safe.
Star Time, which won so impress
sively last time. Is taken to repeat
right back. Personally 1 think
this one a trifie better than ordinar-
lily rated. Flying Beauty is also
very fit, is well schooled and has
shown some splendid trials. The
peep end should be a battle royal
between War Relief and Loveliest.
Rolo is another repeater. This
gee possesses an excellent burst of
speed. True he is a bit white liver
ed but 1 look. for him to forget to
stop again today. Vulcanize was bet
on in China last time and the same
connections are down hook, line and
sinker.
The Moor is one of those betting
nags for which this stable is fam
GUS. Tab the ring action Glossy.
They mopped up the country on
the occasion of that last victory,
but did not turn their money loose
until after noon time.
Tan Son and Day Lily for what
Is left.
Amaze looks like the real jam
in the third. Lamp the CAB append
ed by the clockers: only needs to
race to recent morning trials to
come home on the chin strap
Saint Isidore has been held pretty
cheaply of late but that makes no
never mind.
Apple Jack II would be better
suited il the going turns muddy.
DR.. Carmen has an outside chance
to spill the frijoles. He is awfully
fit at present.
Athena is as fresh as a daisy and
inasmuch as understand that Pitts
burg is loaded to the guards looks
like taking candy from the infant.
Hank O'Day, a horse hard to
handle, will be a stout contender
with a big 9ustling rider aboard.

COMMISSION HAD
 SEVERAL CASES UP
Main Issue Was Joint Rates Between Points on G., F.
 & A. Road and Mobile
By FRED H. GoRMLEY Montgomery Bureau, The Age-HeraId 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, July 6.-(Special)- R. G. Cobb. traffic manager of the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, told the public service commission today that the joint rates between points on the Gulf, Florida and Alabama rail- road and Mobile over the lines of this railroad and the Louisville and Nash ville railroad were such that Mobile business houses could not compete fairly with Pensacola goods and that th%discripination should be removed.
 The testimony was given in the hearing of the citation of the public service commission to the two rail- roads to show why such rates should not be established as would remove the discrimination against Mobile. MT. Cobb was the only witness for the commission, and after his testi- mony was completed the railroads were given 30 days in which to pre- pare their case for submission to the commission. Mir. Cobb filed large number of exhibits which, he con tended showed that Pensacola busi- ness was receiving better rates to points on the line of the Gulf, Florida and Alabama, and thus were able to obtain business which would go to Mobile if the rates were adjusted.
 No one appeared for or against the petition of the Chickasaw Utilities company for permission to make an increase in electric rates at Chicka saw and the commission let the case go over to another meeting.
 The Southern railway was granted permission to discontinue Bivens as a flag stop for passenger trains l5 and 16, but was required to continue to stop trains Il or 12 at this point on flag.
 No opposition was shown to the pe- tition of the Atmore Telephone com. pany for permission to make req sonable increase in it's charges for service and the petition was granted.
 In the hope that an agreement would be reached between citizens of Tuscumbia and the Southern and Louisville and Nashville railroads for the establishment of a physical con nection at Tuscumbia, the commission postponed the case until the August meeting.
