MILWAUKEE, April 25. —
Champion Freddie Welsh would
have lost his title to Ever Ham
mer of Chicago last night If their
I" round bout had not been a no
decißion affair. Welsh was bat
tered unmercifully by the Chi
cago lightweight. The fifth round
was even, but Hammer had every
other stage of the battle. Welßh
was badly marked and bleeding
when the battle was ended, while
Hammer showed no sign of fa
tigue or Injury.
