Freddy Welsh Talks
When the battle was over wo turned to
Freddy Welsh and asked :
i "What did you think of tho fiBht7"
"Very good, you know," replied Freddy.
Both good boys, Pretty even thing, don't
tou think"?
'What do you think iT Benny Leonard
u a fighter?"
1 "As I said, It was n pretty even thing.
Both wer! "
"But what do you think of Leonard?"
tre Inststcd,
"If I were reporting tho bout, I'd call
Undraw. Both were Bood "
"Will you meet Leonard in a champion
ihlpbout? Billy dlbson says ho will bIvo
jou JIS.OOO for 20 rounda nnd bet you
110.000 on tho side."
"Doth are VKUY good boys," Freddy re
turned. "I'd call It a dr "
"Can you niako 133 pounds or 13G
pounds?"
"Well, good-by," said tho lightweight
champ. Hope to seo you ngniit soon.
Friends waiting, you know." And Freddy
lost himself in the crowd.
Customers Arc Impressed
But Freddy was not the only one who
law visions of n new title holder lit tho
111-pound class. The cash customers also
felt It In their bones and wondered how
loci It would bo before Mr. Leouaid In-
listed on meeting only G. A. It. champions
,ln no-decision battles.
Benny showed class In his tight with
Dundee last night, winning llvo of tho ten
rounds. Dundeo Iind tho better of threo

, Leonard was forced to box better than
'ever before, .and every little trick he picked

PEW HEAVYWEIGHT BOUTS
FINISHED IN A DOZEN ROUNDS
Uy ORANTLAND RICE
TtltiUli Is a chance, of course, that Wll
lard or Sloran will register a knockout
beforo tho 12tlt and closing round Is over.
Hut only n few battles between heavy
weights of class have over ended this soon.
It took Corbctt 21 rounds to drop Suf
llvan at New Orleans, fun put Corbett
nway In tho Ulh at Carson City. Jeffries
stopped both Klta nnd Corbett within 12
stanzas, but In another melee tlird up 23
rounds In" reducing Jim's famous pompa
dour. It took Jack Johnson over 10
rounds to put nway Burns, Ketchel nnd
Jeffries. And Burns was no part of n
heavyweight star.
Mornn knocked out Coffey twlco within
10 rounds. Both Palzer nml Ounboat
Smith dropped Bombardier Wells in short
order. But Coffey and Wells carried glast
Jawbones to the fray, while Moruti and
Wlllnrd have no glass stuff attached to
their persons. Both nro haidy, robust
types who can soak up tho old wallop.
No one punch Is likely to drop either
Morn ii Is CO pounds lighter than Wll
lnrd and yet ho Is heavier than Sullivan
wns, Corbett or lltjt, and only a few
pounds below Johnson. For ordinary
w-ork ho has weight enough, but when you
glvo nway 50 pounds to a man who Is
alio n shade fnster thnn you nro, the odds
begin to point to tho need of a young
miracle.
Any Lighter
"Who Is tho smallest man, or tho light
est one. who ever played In tho big
leagues?" queries n correspondent.
Tho lightest wo know of was Johnny
rJvpts tit 128 pounds with tho Cubs In
1003.
It may be that owner Lnnnln ln ltls
wnlver-asklng Hurry believes ho can win
a Hag with his otitlleld and pitching stnff
npart from any other help. And you can't
very well hlnmo him.
