TTNLESS Freddy Welsh thinks up a per
U fectly good excuse beforo next Friday
evening, he viil bo forced to enter the ring
and mingle ten rounds OT less with one
Sennte Leonard, a prominent New Yorker,
at Washington Park.
Mr. lconard met Mr.
Walsh four months ago
and, our well-known
champ did not enthuse
over tho meeting. In
fact, Mr. Welsh was not
eager to remain long In
Mr. Leonard's company,
but he stuck around for
45 minutes after almost
going to sleep a couplo
of times. All of which
Is another way of say
ing that Benny almost
'knocked Freddy's block
"ai Pfc-u;- off.
II. W. MAXWELL A 'aw "Isht ago
Freddy was booked to meet Charley White
In Minneapolis, but the bout was called 6ft
became' a refcreo could not bo agreed upon.
The club had Ita official arbiter, but Freddy
would not stand for htm. Instead, ho
wanted to ring In his own privato refcreo
nnd, as a result, thero was no scrap.
Freddy's alibi was that he was taking no
chances with his tltlo nnd after looking over
his record we agree with him. Welsh cares
no more about his tltlo than a horse does
abojjt his hind leg.
Leonard Won Last Bout
nut something should happen next Fri
day night over In Brooklyn If Freddy ever
get Into tho ring. Leonard gave him a
beautiful lacing In their first battle In Madl
con Squnro Garden and feels confident of
doing tho same thing again. Benny Is THE
cleverest lightwolght In tho business today
nd In addition to that has a knockout wal
lop In either hand. In tho scrap last March
ho had the champion In bad shape a couplo
of times and gave tho veteran tho hardest
battlo of his long career.
For a long time Welsh has been putting
It over on tho Dear Old Public and It Is
seldom tbat ho considers a. hard match.
It Is hard to figure out how he happened
to consent to thin cecond meeting with Leon
ard, unless he found that his popularity
, was drooping and decided to tako a Brodlo
In an effort to get back Into the good graces
of tho public. "It's a safo bet that If Welsh
lasts ten rounds with Leonard, whether ho
wins or loses, he will tour the country' and
meet all of tho hams and pork and beaners
that can bo procured. After that ho will
retire or go to the old men's home.
Now that Johnny Kllbanc, featherweight
champion of tho world, has signified his
willingness to box George Chaney for the

When Eddie Revolro endeavors to make Jack

weight, also Is boxlnc with success at the fort.
A return match between Joe Tuber and Terry
Ketchell Is still hot. The little fellows battled

"Bring home that title. love. Sadie," This
was the message on a postal received by Denny

ROCHE REFEREE
FOR WELSH AND
WHITE CONTEST
New Yorker to Give Decision
in Labor Day Title
Bout
CHICAGO, July t B, Freddie Welsh,
lightweight champion, and Charley White,
ot Chicago, have signed articles here for
a bout of 20 rounds to a decision to take
place In Colorado Springs, Col., Labor Day,
September 4. The promoters guaranteed a
purse of S17.500.
The bout will be the first one of 20 rounds
In which Welsh has taken part since he de
feated Willie Ritchie for the world's cham
pionship at London July 7, 1914, He took;
the title on a decision in that, match and
has agreed to surrender It on a decision
Labor Day should Billy Roche, of New
York, selected as referee on Jnalstanco of
his manager, Harry Pollok, give a verdict
against him.
Welsh, because of his 'concessions as to
the decision and his possession of the title,
will take down J1J.6Q0 as his share of the
purse, with the option of taking SO per cent
of the receipts should they go above 127.000.
White's share) Is to be" J49QO. Welsh also
comes In for 61 per cent ot the moving
picture receipts. Edward Pitts, of Denver,
who represented the Colorado promoters,
said he would build an open-air arena to
seat 14,600 persons. He put up a 15000
forfeit Welsh put up 500 'and White
21000.
The bout will be' under Marquis tt
Queensberry rules. The men agreed to
weigh In at 135 pounds at 9 a. m. the day
cf the bout or about Ave hours before
they are to enter the ring. They agreed
a begin training at Colorado Springs two
weeks beforo the day of the, flgbt,
i ' '
W. MAXWELL
championship at Cedar Point, O., on Labor
Day, it Is up to the Baltlmorean to get busy
and fix Up tho details. Matt Ulnkle has
offered 115,000 to be split up between the
boxers to suit themselves, nnd as soon as
this Is done the match wilt be on.
But there Is likely to bo a hitch In the
division of the spoils; Chaney probably
wilt hold out for a BO-BO split, white Kll
bane, who Is tho champion and has a right
to do some dictating, wilt Insist on not less
than $10,000, Tho other B000 bucks can
go to Chancy or anybody else so far as
Johnny 13 concerned.
Chancy assumed tho title of "feather
weight champion" after the Baltimore
match fell through" last March, but no one
gave It a second thought Since that time
he has had a few matches, but did not set
the world afire with his sensational work.
Ho will have a tough Job on his hands If ho
meets Kllbanc, and we are now waiting to
see If he Is willing to take a chance.
Wrestling In Some Sport
Wrestling Is a great sport and tho more
we read about It, tho greater It becomes.
Every tlmo we look at a grappling match
we leave tho halt with the Impression that
the performers are not athletes, but darned
good actors and should put on their stuff
In vaudeville. More Innocent bystanders
have been trimmed In wrestling bouts than
any other sport, and they-will contlnuo
to be trimmed so long as they pay good
money to seo the "Terrible Turks" and
"Stranglcra" put on their acts. Then again
they come across with some high-class
comedy, which Is shown by tho following
dispatch we saw In tho papers a couplo
of days ago:
"After holding Joe Stechcr to a draw In
five hours of wrestling, Stranglor Lewis
believes ho can defeat Frank Gotch for
tho world's championship. Billy Sandow,
manager of Lewis, Bays he will post a
forfeit any tlmo to bind a match with
Gotch."'
Stranglcr Has Nerve
This Is a swell challengo and would have
sounded fine but for one little thing. Tho
day before this sweeping defl was Issued,
Frank Gotch broke his leg white wrestling
In Kenesha, and decided to quit the' game
for good. Ho was suffering terribly In the
hospital and Issued tho following statement:
"Just as soon as I leave the hospital, I
am going back to the farm. I am done for
good. I don't care who has tho champion
ship." Perhaps Lewis forgot to read the' papers
that day or ho wanted to mako sure that
his opponent was crippled beforo publishing
his -.hallengo, Gotch, handicapped with n
broken log, would be easy for Lewis, but
that lyould bo the Stranglcr's only chance
to win.
It has developed that the rumor of Johnny"
Moloney Intentions to turn pro Is unfounded.
The champion has been receiving Invitations
from all oter tho country for exhibitions and
It has been advised that John would mako a
mistake to give up his "all-for-glory" crown.
Bolls on aunboat Smith's-hands forced him
to cancel an eight-round bout with Mat Lnvlneky
In St. Louis tonight. Tommy Ilurke will sub
stitute. ,
Marty Cross, third of the Cross family of
boxers, has been earning- himself a knockout
"rep." The other night he stopped Cannon
Smith, an Englishman, In New York, In tho
fourth round for his third consecutive kayo.
Marty Is the fellow Youne Jack O'Brien meets
In two weeks.
Another English boxer has Invaded Uncle
Sam's domain. He Is Kid Morris, a feather
weight, who Is making New York his home at
present. Morris has recovered from a recent
injury to his right hsnd and an effort Is being?
made to match the Briton with Johnny Kllbano
In Rochester.
Enter the shoeless hover. Tiat ntvht. In vw
York, Danny Foy. a prelim pug. boxed six rounds
barefooted and won. This Is the nrst time In
the history ot natlana that a boxer Is known
to have competed In the rlns without shoes.
In accepting Charley White as an opponent
for a decisive tilt. Harry Pollok has kept a
promise made to Nate Lewis a year ago. He
told both White and Lewis then that White
would get the first chance at the title over a
route to a referee's decision.
Rattling Levlnsky expects to fight 1000 bat
tles, according to word from Danny Morgan,
but he doesn't count on any scraps betwesn
Battllne and his wife.
Jack McCarron. fighting under the direction
of Ray Dronson. has been booked for two bouts.
On August 2 he will clash with Frank Mantell
for IB rounds In Dayton. O., and on August
7 ho will meet Oeorge (Knockout) Brown, of
Chicago, for eight rounds In Memphis. Tenn,
A seven-word cablegram from Australia has
proved definite Information that Les D'Arcy will
not come to America until after the present
war. "Impossible for D'Arcy to leave for
America" Is a wire received by Joe Levins,
former manager ot Eddie McOoorty. In New
York. It was In answer to a 130,000 offer for
three bouts here made by Sherman and Con
nolly, of Minneapolis.

Sam Trinckle Wins
Young A! Wagner added another victory
to his record'by beating- Young Dlgglns In
the final bout at the Broadway Athletic
Club last night. Wagner uncorked several
left hooks that staggered Dlegins, and In
the fourth round he succeeded in opening a
cut under the Cray's Ferry bantam's left
eye.
Dlgglns, however, fought his usual ag
gressive battle, and In the second round
It looked as though he were going to bring
his taller opponent to the mat when he
flailed Wagner around the body with rights
and lefts.
Sammy Trinckle won from Charlie Mc
Kenna In the semlwtndup. Wally Nelson
opened a deep cut over Charlie Mathews'
left eye In the fourth round, and the ref
eree stopped the bout on this account Joe

WILLIAMS IS PUT
OUT OF TOURNEY
BY C. J. GRIFFIN
Big Upset Results Early in
Longwood Tennis Play
at Boston
CLOTHIER IS A WINNER
BOSTON, Mass.. July 25. A steady llttlo
tennis star from the Pacific coast, Clarence
J. Griffin, yesterday turned topsy-turvy
Boston's precbncelvcd notions as to the
decorum which should be manifest In the
early rounds of such a classic as the 24th
annual Longwood tournament. The crafty
Callfornlan set off his bombshell In tho
second round of the singles, and tho victim
was none othr than Richard Norrls Will
iams, 2d, national champion in 1914', and
last year runner-up to Maurice S. McLough
tin for tho honors, at Longwood. By all
the rules of Back Bay etlquetto "Williams
should have cone through to an advanced
place In the tournament this year, but west
ern and New England Ideas did not co
incide, and Williams was defeated In
straight sets, 7-6, 7-5.
It was the most startling surprise that
hrm been snrunir on the tennfs world this
eason. '
Two rounds of tho singles tournament
were completed yesterday and with the ex
ception ot Williams, all of tho favorites
came through. Three of tho prominent con
tenders, Oeorgo M, Church, Willis E. Davis
and William J. Clothier, defaulted their
matches. Church and Davis elected to re
serve their strength for the doubles event,
which Is Important In Its bearing on tho
national title, as the winners take part In
the preliminary doubles at Chicago.
William M. Johnston, national singles
champion, scored two victories, and In
neither was he forced to extend himself. In
the first round he defeated James S.
O'Neale, Jr., 6-2, -6-4, and In the second
round ho eliminated Horace Taylor, Long
wood, C-3, 6-3.
Theodore- Roosevelt Pelt almost met de
feat In the first round yesterday morning,
when he encountered Wallace F. Johnson,
of Philadelphia. Johnson won the first set
C-3, his chop stroke working particularly
well against Pell's back-court play. A num
ber of deuce games marked the second set,
which Pell won, 6-3. Johnson had been
playing against Pell's forehand, but In this
set his placing did not carry so well, and,
taking the ball on his backhand, Pell shot
swift placement strokes to the corners of
the court and Johnson was on the defensive.
The final set was bitterly waged, sharp
rallies thrilling the large gallery. Twice
Johnson had the advantage game In a deuce
set, only to have Pell draw level and even
tually break through Johnson's service and
win his own for the match.

"Well Stay Home New
Yorkers Have Picked
' Next Golf Champion
By SANDY McNIDLICK
TtlERB Is nothing to It."
This Is the way practically 'all tho
Metropolitan players at Shawnee expressed
themselves on the all-envetoptng question
ns to who wilt be the next national cham
pion. "Bob" Gardner, present holder of the
belt nnd a former champion, too, Is brushed
nslrto with a flip of the hand.
"Won't last two rounds," snorted the
Gothamitcs.
Poor "Jerry" Travorn, four times cham
pion of the United States and onco a runner-up,
as well as an open champion, has
played some fair golf In his day, but he
gets the same harsh treatment at tho
hands of his fellow-Inhabitants In Broad
wayvllle. "Chick" Evans, present natlonat open
champion, once runner-up In both the open
and nmatcur, four times western amateur
champion and onco open, acclaimed tho
deadliest of medal players, Is likewise given
the stony razoo by the Metrooplltans.
"Easy plckln's In tho match play, "airily
chirp the New Yorkers.
So That Settles It
They havo never "heard tell" ot Cameron
Buxton, Philadelphia champion, who has
been shooting golf all season that will
beat, and has beaten, tho best of them.
Nor does their golf blue book contain
the name of Sidney Sharwood, or Hugh
Wllloughby, Jr., Florida champion, theso
two being bright comets who will play In
tho advantage of their home course at
Morion, whero tho championship will bo
held 39 days from today.
Metropolitan fans are deaf to rumors
of giant golfers girding up their loins In
tho Boston district, the South and the far
West. They see only one figure on the hori
zon. On his head they havo placed the laurels :
o'er his shoulders they have draped the
purple In his hand they have placed tho
cup.
"Hall, champion," they cry. "Hall, Os
wald Klrkbyl"
Norman Maxwell, of slender build and
tender years, opened the eyes ot all the golf
critics that saw him play last week. If he
could suppress his perpetual mood of "get
ting mad at himself," the critics agreed he
would be a golf marvel.
Maxwell traveled with perfect ease all
the way to the semifinals of the fast field
at Shawnee. He met his Waterloo while
shooting a 75. To be beaten when playing
a game llko that Is about the height of
toughoslty.
But W. H. Gardner, 3d. Pine Valley, also
only 19 years old, went the course In one
stroke better than the Aronlmtnk player,
who was 'out In 36.
Out of tho Realm of Mortals
"What kind of a player Is this?" Gard
ner's caddy asked, while Maxwell was
calmly laying them stone dead or downing
marathon putts from Impossible places.
Gardner was too busy mopping his brow
and trying to hold the pace to give an In
telligible reply. But when short missed
putts cost him three holes out of five Max
well was disgusted and chose the wrong
club at tho fourteenth approach. This was
tho crisis of tho match and the opening
that Gardner had been waiting for.
"It was the first chance he gave me .to
break In," said Gardner. He did, and
stamped all around with a 4, 3, 3 and the
match.
