LARGELY PLANNING TOUR AFT
ER CHAMPION FIGHT.
Vancouver Battle on Labor Day to
Decide Supremacy. (
Vancouver, B. C, Aug. 18. So sure
is Freddy Welsh that he will repeat his
former victory over world's Champion
Willie Ritchie, when the pair meet in
this city for their twenty round cham
pionshin battle on - Labor, Day after
i.oon thit he 'i already going ahead
with his plans for future matches bas
ed on a decision over 'the Sari Fran
cisco champion. , .'
"I want the general public to know
.fut if I win this title 1 am goms f;
defend It every time a wprtny oppen
cnt conies into view," declared Welsh.
"First of all ' Packy McFarland can
have his chance. I have already box
ed him CD rounds, being the only lifc-hl-weight
that has ever dared tackle Mc
Farland. I can eajrilv make the 133
ringsid?, the American scale of weight,
but if McFarland can do 135 at :00
o'clock, he can have the first chance at
the title.'' bonbon every hol.." i
am ready to lc.rirtd the title bef' :e t'
club offering the highest price, and al
low the genertil jjtblic to select mv' )'
ponent." '
"I well realize that there has been
no realljt popular lightweight cham
pion since the days of Battling Nelson.
I want to be as popular as Bat was,
and the only way to'gain that popular-'-itw
is to keep boxing and defending
the title."
Harry Pollock, manager of Welsh, is
just as certain that his charge will be
the next champion, and along this line
is manning out the campaign. Im-
, mediately after the battle, in the event
of Welsh winning, Pollock and Welsh
will start for England and Wales, tak-
ing a moving film of the bout with
I them. They will exhibit in the Brit
I ish isles, and en return to New
York, where Pollock has practically ac
cepted an offer for'a Thanksgiving day
match with McFarland, provided the
latter shows any inclination to male
185 pounds at 6 o'clock. Welsh's next
bout will be Christmas day, on the
coast, and every holiday until he re
tires or is defeated, will see the Brit
on in the ring against the best of his
opponents. '
