He ■ THE SEASON'S FAVORITE^ J I WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 8, 1914 'really started his career In this coun-l try and it was his bouts at Broadway! j Athletic Club, Philadelphia, that brought him Into prominence. London. July B.—Fred Welsh, light weight champion of England, last | j night outboxed Willie Ritchie, the ! American champion, and on the ref eree's decision won the lightweight j championship of the world. The fight took place at Olympia anil the 8,000 spectators witnessed a fast an'd clever bout. Rapid footwork and a good deal of infighting were pro nounced features. Although Welsh I scored the greater number of blows, | those of the American appeared to be the more telling. It was a fine exhibition of boxing throughout. Neither man went to the 'floor and the struggle during the last six rounds was of a hurricane charac ter. Welsh was the quicker and tapped Ritchie repeatedly on the face, tinallv drawing blood. The American tried I continually for a knockout, but efttfier Ihe was short, or Welsh got inside or i under the swing. Ritchie won the championship he ;surrendered last night from Ad Wol aast on November 28. 1912, at Daly j City, Cal., when he gained a decision lon a foul in the sixteen round. Ritchie broke down when the decis l ion was given against him, and was jin tears when seen in his dressing I room. He refused to talk then, hut I later at wthe hotel where he is stop ping, he said: 'I do not intend to make a holler, j hut 1 do think the worst I should have had was a draw. Welsh was holding all the time and I was doing the fight ine. Therefore. I think the decision was not fair to me." Ritchie hurt his rifcht hand in the bout, but otherwise was not much damaged, except for a few bruises on the face. Of the twenty rounds ten were un doubtedly Welsh's, five went to Ritchie and the other five were about even. It is estimated that the gate re ceipts were $125,000 of which the b-aten Ritchie will jreceive $40,000. The oltice of "Father" Boudier in clerical garb as announcer was » nov elty, but the expected appearance of battalions of women fizzled to a mere hundred or so. The American contin gent included many theatrical people. Among others, were the members of the Harvard and I'nion boat crews. Many of the nohility and several clergymen sat close at the ringside.
