FANS FAVOR CHALLENGER Twenty-Round Boat for Lightweight Championship Proves Tame Af fair Most of Time Is Ta ken TTp In Clinches. COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Sept 4. Freddie "Welsh retained his title of champion lightweight pugilist of the world today after going the full sched uled 20 rounds -with Charlie White, challenger, of Chicago. Referee Billy Roche, of New York, awarded "Welsh the decision on points. As the gong: sounded at the close of the 20th round Roche stood for sev eral moments as if undecided. He then reached out both hands toward the boxers, and many of the spectators be lieved he was about to award a draw. Suddenly Welsh rushed over to Roche and placed his glove in the referee's hand, and It was raised aloft, while the official appeared to be reaching for White. The next Instant Jubilant friends of the champion swarmed into the ring. An unfortunate accident and an un pleasant incident marred the beginning and end of the day's programme. Shortly before 2 o'clock a portion of the bleachers on the south side of the arena collapsed. More than 100 per sons were more or less seriously in jured. Decision Is Disappointing. When Referee Roche announced his decision in favor of Welsh the chal lenger's adherents appeared for the moment spellbound. Then began a fusillade of hundreds of cushions which were hurled from all directions at the referee. He was rushed through the crowd by friends to a waiting auto mobile. Guarded by a policeman the vehicle sped up an unfrequented road to the hotel, while hundreds of men and boys rushed after it until dis tanced. From a spectacular standpoint the battle was considered one of the. poor est that has ever been fought for the highest ring honors in the lightweight division. For fully two-thirds of the time the fighters were locked in a suc cession of clinches and pushing each other back and forth about the ring. For this Welsh was largely to blame. Throughout the entire 20 pounds scarcely a blow was struck by either man that did any damage. Of the blows exchanged White's carried the greater punitive power. While Welsh fre quently was on the aggressive and did his share of the leading, it was no ticeable that many of his blows fell ehort and failed to reach their mark. Welsh htn Gnardedlr. Roche said after the fight that he awarded Welsh the decision for the reason that he did most of the leading. With consummate generalship Welsh throughout practically all the fighting worked with his back .toward the sun, forcing White to face the hot glare. Neither man drew blood from his op ponent and neither showed any par ticular evidence of having been In a championship battle. Welsh fought carefully and took no chances with his opponent's famous left hand. On several occasions, when it appeared likely that it might land, the champion was backing away, so that the force of the blows were spent when they reached him. As a rule he clinched in order to avoid punishment. The Ilfifht by rounds: Round One. Welsh led twice with left to head and they went into a clinch.

In less than eight minutes of actual fighting Johnny Kilbane. of Cleveland, spoiled the hopes of George Chaney, of Bal timore, for the -world's featherweight championship today. A terrific smash to Chaney's jaw settled the battle near the end or the third round. The champion's longer reach and greater defensive skill offset the spirited fight Chaney began with the sound of the first gong. The leads of the Baltimore lad were broken easily, for the most part, by Kilbane. and the champion earned an even break in the first two rounds by his clever de- 1C1IS1VIS L&C11CB.

"Say. my good fellow," he began at length. "I know Honns Wagner well, Gibson used to goto school with me and Mamaux Is an old pal of mine." "Tell it to the cop," he said dispas sionately.

' MAIN EVENT IS TAME Sullivan-Johnson Go Proves but JAt tle Exciting Golden West Card at the Rose City Clnb Draws 9 00 Fans. BT HARRY" M. OARTSON. The main event at the Rose City Athletic Club last night faded away before the wonderful exhibition put up by Able Gordon and Danny Edwards, the little colored by from Oakland. Edwards won a decision over the little Hebrew, which he earned, although Able took the first four rounds. By landing the most punches, Gor don won the first canto. The second Svas his. too. because he employed left Jabs which brought blood from the lips of his opponent. The third provlde-l the fans with the most exciting round of boxing seen here In many moons. The round had hardly started when Edwards caught Gordon with a short right hand chop, which put Able prac tically out on his feet. Gordon Past at First. Able covered up for a few seconds and then cut loose. The pair stood toe to toe and showered punches on each other' Jaw for, perhaps, a minute. Edwards was almost out when Abie was forced to stop pounding from sheer exertion. It was Abie's round. The Portland midget took the fourth by boxing carefully and outpointing his clever . adversary. Punches to the stomach, landed by the visitor In the fifth and sixth beat Able. At that, he fought well In the closing stanza, but Edwards finished stronger and the decision given by Roy Kendall was right. The bays were weighed in the ring. Gordon weighed 102 pounds as against 109 for uawaras. It was a great bout. Cross-Johnson Go Io Draw. In the advertised main event, Frankie Sullivan, of Los Angeles, and Lee John son, colored, of Oakland, pawed ana pushed their way to a draw, with Sulli van dolning the most pawing ana pusn insr. They weigh around 128 pounds. Sullivan had stitches taken in his lip yesterday, but this did not seem to hamper his willing, awkward style. Leo Cross, of Centralia, and "Young Jack" Johnson, of New Orleans, mld dlewelghts, also boxed to a draw. Cross was fat and found Johnson, wno is tall and rangy, hard to get to. Lddie Gorman, of Oakland, gave Ping Bodle, who substituted for Toughy Wing, all he wanted in three and one-half rounds. Bodle looked as if he had a bottle of red Ink SDilied on his face and chest. The younger brother of Joe Gorman hit Bodle with everytning out me waur bucket. They are 120-pounders. Wing was unable to ro on because of a sore hand. Bodle, by the way. is not "Ping," the swatter of the Pacific Coast League. , McDUnn Gets Decision. "Sailor" McMinn received a decision over Jack Allen, although a draw would have been better. Referee Ken dall, perhaps, gave the former the ver dict because in the last round Allen gently fouled his left arm around the sailor's head, dragging him across the ring and pounding his face with his right mitt. This pair tipped the beam at 140 pounds. As a curtan-raiser "Denver Ed" Martin and Lowe Sims boxed an exhibition of four two-minute rounds. Roy Kendall refereed all the bouts save the Gorman-Bodie one, with Ed Martin officiating in that tilt. Jack Fahie kept time and Leo "Frisco" Ed wards announced. The show was staged under the auspices of the Golden West Athletic League and about 900 Labor day fans witnessed the "doings." NORMAN ROSS SHINES EX-WINGED "M ATHLETE MAKES RECORD AT SAX DIEGO.

As we have announced In these dis patches before, our first yearn waa that Cincinnati and Cleveland or the N. Y. Tanks would enter a world series. That being impossible, as it now looks, our next desire centered upon or around St. Louis ana Brooklyn. It is always a thrilling sight to see a new entry flounder on up to the heights. If Fielder Jones could steer the Browns into first place it would be worth a world series trip from Boston or Brook lyn or Philadelphia to St. Louis, back and forth, and any one who thinks such a trip is going to be a romp should have his attic repaired at once before it becomes a total loes. e "Will Cobb catch Speaker?" queries a reavler.

But the greatest nerve is required for the front runner to hold hie lead. The in cessant thud of an opponent in one's immediate wake is the greatest soul disturber in the game. It is this matter of setting pace that at last has begun to get on the nerves of Brooklyn in the National and Bos ton in the American. They have felt the warm and woolly breath of their opponents upon their necke for some time now, and the strain is beginning to tell. The Red Sox, nearly always strong at home, haven't done as well this time on home soil as they did out West, where they won 12 out of 18 games. In place of getting a big Jump still fur ther to the good, they lost ground to the leading Western contenders, and now face a long September road trip with the odvia badly chopped. We have figured right along that the Red Sox would need a four or five-game mar gin when they started West in order to win. If their margin is cut below this in the next few days the best in side tip available is that a Western Pl'ih will come through. liprail -ui 1 1 Go East Through the Canadian Pacific Rockies Minarets and mountain peaks at luxurious Banff in the very heart of this mountain fairyland.
