At New Orleans Prankie Russell knocked out Joe Mandot in the fifteenth of a scheduled twenty round bout. Kallio Not An Option. Bill IIuHoy says there in no truth in the report that Pitcher Kal lio wan with the Great Palls club tinder an optional agreement. I It has letters and telegrams to show that the only agreement he had with the Oakland club was to give that club one-half of the money re ceived in ease the player wan sold or drafted. There is nothing con trary to the rules in such an agree ment, and Bill showed good Judge ment in getting a good pluyer just when he needed players badly. Doesn't Like Tacoma. Bill Leard will not be with the Tacoma club next year for he is rather soured on that town. It Is hard to understand why Bill was allowed to get out of the Coast League, especially as Salt Lake needed Inflelders. Bill is still a good ball player and without ciues tion he plays a better second base than Frank tiulgni or Herb Mur phy, both of whim were tried by Cliff Blankenshlp. On a winning team Bil Iwould hold up his end. for he Is wideawake and is not afraid to tnfto a chance whdu tak ing a chance counts the most. WELSH-WHITE FIGHT MUCH TOO TAME Freddie Welsh :s still lightweight champion of the world, ..but the light he put up to defend that title last Monday at Colorado Springs, lacked u' lot of pleasing the specta tors, according to advices received In Juneau yesterday. Welsh and Charlie White clinched and stalled and waltzed through 20 rounds and the principal damage done was to the sports who nald good money to see the uffalr. Reports sent out rroin the ring ni?lo were that White won llfteon of the rounds; Welsh won one and the rest were even. Then the Hash was sent: WELSH WINS. Fine tenni work. Hilly Roche of Now Vork was the referee and when he was named, White's lrlends said that Welsh had an ace in the hole, and (hat While would have to knock the champion out to beat him. Now they are sure or It. At the end of the twentieth round Referee Kocho stood in the center of the ritiK a few seconds as If un decided what to do. Then he reach ed out both hands towards the box ers. Welsh grabbed his hand as If preetiiiK a lonj; lost brother return ed from the wars, and Roche lifted the champion's hand on high in to ken of victory. Crowd Gets After Referee. Welsh's friends crowded into the ! ring to congratulate him, while I White's backers hurled cushions at j the red head of Billy Roche. Their control was faulty and he wns not hit often, lie was rushed through the crowd to an automobile, which raced up the back streets to his hotel. Some men and boys chased the machine but could not catch it. J?d. W. Smith, a- sport writer- of Chicugo. who wns the stakeholder of the match, sent out next morning that White lind a wonderful chance to win the championship in the thir teenth round, but that he failed to toliow his advantage and now lie probably will never win the crown. Referring to that one big moment of the light, Smith writes: White Has One Big Chance. "Charley White of Chicago was within a ffw inches of the world's championship. All lie had to do reach out and take it away from Freddie Welsh in the thirteenth round of their twenty-round battle. He didn't do it and as the contest [ sifted along that onco-in-a-lifctlme. chance nifted away from Charley, gono probably forever. "In that nearly fatal thirteenth round, Welsh, weak and tired, wob bly and all hut on the verge of col lapse, looked ns if lie might be knocked over and Into the has-been class by any good strong feather weight. "White, one of the most power ful hitters in the division, if indeed lie Is not the greatest puncher of them all, stood off and looked Welsh over. "Welseli cleared the cobwebs from his bralh, chased all the owls away und took a couple of lungfuls of thin mountain air, Mc never be fore was called upon to so thorough ly muster every one of. those won derful resources of his and do it quickly and effectively. The cham pion's master mind worked light lightning. Ills knees wehe sagging and tired, the gloves heavy as lead and he probably ached terribly? but there was nothing the matter in the upper story. "That's where the Welsh class came to the rescue and where White's failure to instantly take ad vantage a wonderful opportunity passed on down the street after knocking vigorously at the front door. "Itefore that and after that Welsh ; was there with everything that goes to stnmp a lighter the best m?n j In his class. White fought hard but Welsh was much too tricky and con siderably too fast for him."
