Welsh has been the favorite in the
betting. So much American money
has made its appearance within the.
past couple of days that the odds have
been gradually hammered down. Yes-

the wagering will be at evens when
the men climb through the ropes.
Iiugeno t'orri. the best qualified man

can champion realizes nevertheless
that he will have to oiitcltiss the Bri-
ton decisively to get a decision after
«twenty rounds. For this reason he
hopes to knock out the shitty Welsh.
It is a case of a tough. rugged slug-
ger pitted against cite of the most
skilfui boxers of ring history. Welsh
is a shadow. a wonderful defensive

Ritcho Will Win Out in tho Cloning

(By George Considlnel. _
LONDON, July 7.——At last I have
discovered the reason for Welsh's
supporters offering six- to four that he
will best Ritchie tonight. and it is
not a case of the “native son" at that.
As a matter of fact Welsh is person-
ally less popular here than he is in
America. Tile fact that influences the
betting odds is that Englishmen are
convinced that Welsli to clever enough
to keep away from the champion for
the whole twenty rounds in which case:
they are sure he will
and the title.
As I have stated emphatically in
these articles I do not share this opin-
ion. I firmly believe that Ritchie'will
land the knockout blow somewhere
about tho fifteenth round, but even if
the fight goes._tha limit I think the
chamton must get the decision. -

Ritchie Writes “I'll Win."
NEW YORK. July T.*‘la()('(li follow-
err. oi boxing are betting oti Willie
iittchie to defeat Freddie Welsh, in
London, this evening. A letter has
been received from Ritchie who says
he will be in splendid physical condi-
tion and surely will win by a knock-
out. Ritchie adds that he would not
ban agreed to box Welsh on British
soil if he had not been supremely con-
tident of victory. The world's chain-
piou goes on to say that he nearly
stopped Welsh in los Augeles three
years ago. when he was a comparative
preenhorn and accepted the match
with the English lightweight at twen-
ty-four hours' notice.
"Welsh cannot keep me away with
his love taps." declares llitchie. ‘and
I wil force the fight until I wear him
down. lie cannot stand punishment
and he'll drop as soon as 1 land one
good solid punch on the jaw or in

Despite. the big lightweight affair
the Smith-Carpeiitier mutch.althou.:h
scheduled for two weeks later, is at-
tracting as much attention, Realizing
that it is the light of his career, the
French champion is training harder
than ever before. lly July 10 he will
have ptit in live weeks of the most
strenuousrwork. whereas as it rule he
finds two tweaks ample.

tention to exercises calculated to build
up his strength and stamina. lie. has a
very good opinion of his boxing ability
uml thinks that he has little more to
learn. That he is Smith’s master as a
scientist he is sure and also that he
has far more speed titan the heavy-
hitting tittiiboat.
From his statements published in
the French press lt'is clear that Car-
peiiiier believes that Smith is merely
a slow moving. clumsy slugger of the
nutter Moir type. However. be ad-
mits that he has never even seen a
picture of his prospective opponent.
although he is so sure he knows all
about him. ‘
“t have heard he is a very strong

A blustery, rainy night was followed
by a thick misty morning. Early pros--

weather sharps thought it might clear
by 11 o'clock, the time scheduled for
the start of the'.contest.

English boxing promoters seem to
be. showing little discretion in matcie
ing Jack Johnson with Sam Langlord
in view of the champions miserable
performance with Frank Moran.
Johnson demonstrated in that affair
either that he is a taker or a has-
been, in either case it is absurd to
think that he is worth $30,000 for
stalling through twenty rounds with
another back number of his race.
There was a little when it Johnson
Langford match would have been the
proper thing. That was when both
were at their best. At present there
is nothing to be gained by bringing
them together except for the. promo
tors. who no doubt. expect~to deludo
the public into thinking that the two
blacks will furnish a wonderful bat~
tie. but taking into consideration
Langt‘ord‘s loss of form and the fact
that Johnson either cannot or will not
light. any contest between them is
sure to be more or less of a farce.
Johnson would never tackle Langford
when the Boston negro was at the top
of his form. At- that time. laingt’ord
could have made Johnson extend him-
self to the limit.

The results of the two big lilldtllt-
weight battles on the Fourth lime
done much to clear up the situation.
Eddie lictloorty by losing to Jimmy
Clabby for the third time has been
eliminated as a factor. As a matter
of fact there has never been any rea-
son to believe that the man from Ush-
kosh was a genuine middleweight, as
he seldom showed good IDI'lll at Ill".
lob-pound limit.
As expected, George t‘hip made
short work of Ililly Murray and his
championship pretensions. L‘hip‘s \lC-
tory puts him very much in the run-
ning again, as it proves that lict‘oy s
one-punch knockout was merely one
of those strange accidents that are
bound to happen occasionally.
(hip is now in line for a battle with
Clabby and the winner of that light
will come pretty close to being the
real champion. From what has been
seen of ('1le he will have to bow to
t‘labby. who appears to be too fast
and clever for thc‘ slov\'~lootcd. but
hard hitting miner.
It’ it‘labby does beat t‘hip he will
then have no one to worry about ex

title, but there woman who believe

There is one rule (In the Queens
bury code that few boxers ever live
up to and that is in regard to where
an opponent is knocked down. The
rulo status very plainly that in the
event of one boxer being knocked
down. the other shall retire to his
corner and if the knockdown happens
to occur in said boxcr's corner, then
he shall retire to a neutral corner. But
in most cases the boxer who burl se-
cured the knockdown tries to stand
over his opponent. or directly behind
the referee. who is counting. in order
to gain an advantage the moment the
man on the that rises. This very thing
happened in ouc of the preliminary
bouts at Hudson. Wis. last week.
where the Pill brown-Johnny Tillman
contest was held, The bout in Ques-
tion was between two welterweiglits
and one of them scored a clean knock-
down. The ret‘eroe had to push'tlle
man away so that he was better able
to count over the fallen man. In
the excitement the referee. who know
better. forget to send the man to his
corner. This same thing happens at
nearly every boxing show where a
knockdown is scaled. It is up to the
see mag mgr retirees are thoroughly
warn boxers regarding it. There is
no reason why a boxei'should try to
stand o’ver a man who is knocked
down in order to gain an additional
advantage. for he certainly has a big
engugh1 handicap when he scores the
knockdéwn.

m
it seems to be the unanimous opht-
ion of experienced fighting men that
Jess Willard is the man best qualified
to win the world's heavywelght chatti-
pionshtp from Jack Johnson. They say
that a boxer who is bigger. heavier and
stronger than the negro will have a
chance and in these respects Willard
is Johnson's superior.
\\il.nrd is 27 years old. nine years
younger than l.i|' Arthur. The big
cowboy in ii feet. 0 inches tall. weighs
230 pounds and has a reach of 83 1-2
inches. He is dvezlncties taller and
fifteen pounds heaviér than Johnson.
while his reach is nearly ten inches
longer. Willard's only defeat was at
the hands of 811th Smith. who re-
ceived a queer ducisiou on points at
the end of twenty rounds on the coast
a year ago last month.
Smith has declined all of Willard's
challenges since that affair. in which
the cattler's only fault' was a lack of
aggressiveness. Willard is wonderfully
strong and is a terrific ring handed
number. He intends to visit England
and Frahce in the fall to press his
claim to a match with the champion.
