WELSH AN EASY WINNER
American at His Very Best Would
Never Have Been Able to
Beat Briton.
By George Considine. I
(Famous New York Sportsman.)
ONDON, July B—The world’s
| lightwelght title changed hande
and changed hands only after
twenty rounds of the most remark
able fighting 1 ever saw. Perhaps the
most remarkab'a features of all is the
fact' that neither Freddie Welsh, who
won the decision so far as the refereé
was able to announce it, nor Willie
Ritchie, who started fully 200 poten
tia! knockout punches without land
ing one—even staggered his adver
sary once, "
“Yiewed #from this angle Freddie
Welsh, won the title more easily than
any challenger of any dlvision who
annexed a world's championship, for
Freddie was never even slowed up by
Ritchie, while the latter was coming
more strongly in the twentieth than
in any other round of the fight. |
~There really were only three blows
in the entire fight that by any
gtretch of imagination could be called
effective, and the San Franclesco boy
landed them all. Once in the third
round Ritchie caught Welsh coming
in with a straight right to the stom
ach that made Freddie glad to beable
to hang on and stall through the re
mainder of the round.
~ Willie Lands Three Hard Blows.
Again in the thirteenth Willle
landed the same right straight on
Welsh's nose, opening an old cut on
that member. In the seventeenth
Ritchie caught Welsh squarely on the
jaw as the latier was stralghtening
out of a erouch, but not even these
wallops did more than give Welsh's
supporters an instant of appreßen
slon, and none of them compared in’
force with the many others Ritchie
started that did not land.
~ As hard as it is to admit it, T've
m to say that Welsh went out in
nt from the tap of the gong, and
with each succeeding round Increased
the lead until, with the fight haif
over, the ringside bettors’ were de
risively shouting offers of “a pound
to a penny” (8§56 to 2 cents) on Welsh:
And that brings me to the second
remarkable feature of the fight. For
& week prior to the contest odds have
been 6 to 4 on Welsh, but'at the ring.
gide hundreds of Welshmen, who have
traveled 150 miles to see their idol
@nnex the title, literally threw their
savings at the Ritchle fanclers and
forced odds up to 7-to 4, even as high
a 8 2 to 1, on Welsh.
Considine Backed Ritchie.
3 c%uldn't stand to see the cham
pion and the United States look like
monkeys, and took all that came my
way at these odds. And here is per
faps not he least remarkable thinx‘
of all—the instant the final gong
gounded the wildest pandemonium 3
ever heard anywhere in my life broke
out. In the next second Welsh's sec
onds had literally thrown Welsh's
wife over the ropes into the ring and
{nto. the new champlon’s arms. At
the same instant at least a hundred
men in evening clothes were ‘through
the ropes fighting each other to be the
first in the mbrace and kiss Welsh.
“Ritchie and Referee Corrl were
hoth lterally shoved out of the ring
onto the floor—and if any decision
was announced it was certainly not
from within the ropes. and it is
equally certain that nobody heard it.
I had little heart to witness the an
ties 6f 10,000 raving mad men hurt
ling down and out of the balconies
over tite chairs in one mad effort.to
get to the ring and shake hands with
their new champion,
¢ Sad Were Ritchie's Friends,
Instead of waiting, I forced my way
through the mob and went out under
the ringside seats into Ritchie's dress
ing room. It was the most pathetic
scena 1 ever encountergl. Here were
the faithful Leonard Micks, of Chi
cago, trying to undo the gloves
Ritchie was extending toward -Aim;
Emil Thiry, Willle's manager, sitting
op a chalr in the corner sobbing like
a child, and the seconds who had been
Willie's sparring partners, standing
around balancing first on one foot
and then on the other, trying to ap
pear unconcerned. You could fairly
feel the silence in the room, empha
#zed rather than disturbed by the
erushing sounds of wild yells from
the arena. ;
«.Willie, hardly drawing a_ deep
Breath, sank into an upholstered
chair, stili holding out his gloved
Hands, over which Hicks was having
a hard time. I put my arm around
the little fellow and said:
“Never mind, Willie, I'll live,to see
you flght many another contest, and
see you get it back, teo."
- He recognized me and tried to force
& smile, but the result was pitiful. He
moistened his lips and tried hard fo
say something, but words wouldn't
come. He turneq his head and seemed
to just shrivel up into a wornout old
man. .
Ritchie Says He Was 0. K.
- Ritchie wasn't as good as I have
geen him all the way through. I no
ticed it Sunday at Brighton, and ask
#d him if he was sure he was thor
oughly acclimated. He insisted then
that he felt fine.
Really, I don't think it would have
mattered one way or the other, how
ever. Had Ritchie been in top form
he never would have been able to
Yeat Welsh, who was just as good to
¢ay as he ever was—and that means
he was the most magnificent exponent
:: scientific boxing the ring has ever

Rel!l{ pleased at Ritchie's defeat by

“Welsh is a good fellow nnd‘A good
fighter, and I'm satisfied to sit back and
watch the other fellows fight him, I'll
never demand a match with him unless
the public wants it,’”' said Wolgast. “1

was sorry when he did.”
McCarey Told Ritchie
He Would Lose Title
LOS ANGELES, July £—"l am not
the least bit surprised that Welsh beat
Ritchie,” said Promoter Tom McCarey
to-day. *I told Ritchie in San Fran

THE BUSY BEE.
How busy is the baseball star—how
little rest he gets!
He grinds out advertisements for a
brand of cigarets,
He writes a column story for the
papers every day,
He dodges offers' from the Feds who
want to raise his pay,
And thus it is I find it hard to under
stand it all
Tust how he cver finds the time to
play a game of ball.

Georges Carpentier says he reads
Victor Hugo and Zola as a part of

the report that Bob Moha reads Dar

In view of the fact that the Eng

game, possibly they would welcome
baseball if they knew how much
rough-house work there is in it.
The Cincinnati directors can not
understand why the Reds are losing
so many games, whereas the public
can not understand why they have
won so ‘many,
While the Feds and Organized
Baseball are accusing each other of
conspiracy, there seems to be a con
spiracy among the fans to stay away.
In up-to-date baseball every little
movement has a lawsuit all its own.

But you—you only make it worse,

Cracker Contract;
Doescher Released
Henry Collier, better known to At
lanta baseball fans as *‘Kid,” has re
placed Jack Doescher on the slab staff
of the Crackers, signing an Atlanta
contract soon after reaching the city
Tuesday night.
Collier comes from Washington, which
team has owned him while nhe has been
serving rather an extensive apprentice
ship in the West. He was a team
mate of Harry Holland at Tech, play
ing on the same team of which Harry
was captain. He is a big, husky chap,
and a right-hander, so that the release
of Doescher leaves the staff without a
single southpaw.
Doescher was released outright and
probably will have little trouble in sign

| am sure | can beat Welsh; he did
not hurt me with a single one of his
blows. | can outpunch him, and the
result will be different next time.

There is no question about Welish's
victory. It was a technical one, per
haps, but a victg: just the same.
Freddie is too cle for Ritchie.
By Herbert Temple.
ONDON, July B.—Willie Ritchie,
L who lost the lightweight cham
plonship to Freddie Welsh, of
Wales, in their twenty-round fight
last ‘night,* to-day declared that he
was outpointed-by the new champion.
The majority of Ritchie’s friends
here admit that the cleverness of
Welsh gave him a clean advantage
over the American.
Although bitterly disappointed
over the outcome of the battle, Ritch
ie asserted that he would win in the
next encounter with the Pontypridd
scrapper.
“l am positive T will defeat Welsh
when we meet in the United States in
November,” he declared.
Welsh Is Hero of London.
Welsh is the hero of Londor to-day.
He was cheered by admiring crowds
everywhere he appeared to-day. The
new champion gave all due credit to
Ritehie for the battle the American
‘waged, but laughed when he heard
that Ritchie had predicted that he
would regain the title in November.
“Ritchie certainly has a blooming
cheek,” said the champion. “I knew
that I could beat him, and T'll do it
again. He kept me chasing him for a
long time, but I knew that I could
beatshim, and I'll do it again.
“Of course, he will get the first
chance for a return bout. There is no
reason why I should not give it to
him. T can beat him at any time and
any place.”
Neither fighter showed any great
damage to-day asa restul of the fight,
The faces of both were bruised, but
these marks probably will disappear
within a few hours.
Mrs. Ritchie Says Hubby "Won.
Mrs. Ritchie, wife of the American
pugilist, was the unhappiest woman
in London to-day.
“Isn’t it a shame?” she cried when
she was asked her opinion of the
fight. “Why, Willie was the winner.
I watched Welsh closely all the time,
and Willie had him on the run.,- Well,
there's another chance coming.”
