FOREIGN BOXING
 CLAIMED TO BE
 IN DECAYED STATE
By DAVIS j. WALSH

NEW 1Oftk, AprH i-ln2 Cld Ss of boxing abroad has fallen to such low estate that Freddie Welsh, passe these many years, has decided, after giving the field there the left to right, to return to England this sum mer and win back the lightweight championship of Europe. Welsh here after short tour of the old made this statement upon his arrival country supTlementing the announce. ment with a few disparaging remarks upon the decadence of foreign box ing.
 Are Mediocre
 According to Fred, mediocriiy is the kindest term he can apply to the European champions, with the ex- ception os Jimmy Wilde, worlds fly weight title holder. Contrary to pc,pular impression, Wilde Is in ex- ceflent condition. he declares, and Will astound the populace when he comes here within a few months to fight Pancho Villa, the frantic Fili- pino.
 Jimmy has kept himself in splen- did conditicn,' Welsh declared. He is not fat at all.
 "I told Wilde he was meeting a fast little lighter in Villa and he replied:
 "'IM be in condition. They think the little Welshman is all in, but I'll hand them surprise when l meet Villa
 Speaking for himself, Welsh was not retieent in declaring that busi- ness was excellent and would remain so as long as there was d light weight in England.
 Wouldn't Last
 q saw the lightweight champion of England box" he said. His name is Seaman Hall. He met fellow named Morgan in Cardiff. l know l can beat that champion. They asked me to come back in June to meet Hall and | will do just that. The rest of the field, including Todd, Joe Beckett and the other champions, are about in the same class with Hall. They would not last long over here. v
 Welsh must be shading 40 in age and has done little or no actual fighting since Benny Leonard beat him for the worlds championship.
