WELSH AFTER COIN
ONLY, SAYS RITCHIE
Ex-Champion Avers Briton's
Poor Showing Is Because
, He Takes No Chances.
DRAWING POWER IS FADING
Second and Third-Raters Able to
Appear to Advantage Against
Unglishman Because lie Only
Avoids Knockout Blows.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAX FRANCISCO. June 19. (Spe
cial.) Tbe real inwardness of the sorry
showing made by Freddie Welsh, light
weight champion of the world, has been
revealed by Willie Ritchie. The San
Francisco boy, who is still lightweight
champion of America, reached home this
week, and. while he didn't have a whole
lot to say. what he did remark was
quite sufficient to give us a line on the
champion..
"Has Welsh gone back?" was the di
rect question that was thrust at him.
"I don't know that 1 can answer that
question," said Ritchie, in a hesitating
manner.
"I can say this, however," be contin
ued. "I never saw a fellow who had
evidently made up his mind to take as
few chances as Freddie Welsh. Judg
ing from our own bout, he went into
that match as he goes into others, with
his mind made up to stay the limit and
not be knocked out. It seems to be an
obsession with him this determination
not to let any one knock him out. He
doesn't go in with the idea of winning,
but merely to stay the limit, for Welsh
is shrewd enough to realize that- he
can't lost his title in a decisionless bout.
I've heard of other champions who have
pursued the same tactics, but Welsh
- goes the limit."
Welsh Kails as Drawing Card.'
This is a mighty good answer to the
problem of why a lot of second and
third-raters have secured at times as
good as a break with the champion of
the 133-pounders. If Welsh simply will
not fight, a lot of the points are going
to be scored against him. At the same
time, since he is still the title-holder,
he is more or less a card and can keep
going on his reputation alone.
In New York, judging from the pa
pers, Freddie has more than worn out
his welcome. The fans are tired of the
"stalling" in which he engages, and
houses have dropped off to the point
where promoters are no longer willing
to guarantee him the large sums that
Manager Pollock figures should be
coming his way.
Ritchie is a shrewd judge of the other
fellow's worth and doubtless has struck
the keynote in his statement. If Cali
fornia was open for 20-round contests,
public opinion alone would force Welsh
into the ring to risk his title. As mat
ters stand, there is no good field for
the long-distance bouts. - Denver might
be used, but has not been worked up
to the proper pitch as yet.
Ken Orleans Field Open.
New Orleans is still another field
where 20-round bouts'are permitted un
der the law, but Matchmaker Dominicb
Tortorich, who seems to - control that
field, has decided there is far more
personal revenue in 10 and 15-round
affairs. For that reason, he has dropped
the longer matches.
Under the circumstances. Welsh can
do pretty much as he pleases and get
away with it. Naturally, his drawing
power is weakened to a considerable
extent, but he would rather go along on
the theory ofa little money that's safe
than to hazard his recently gained hon
ors. Ritchie may return to New York to
box Welsh a 10-round go at. Brighton
Beach, but it does not seem probable.
Such a card, to get the money, would
need a lot of publicity, and there would
hardly be the requisite time.
Willie likewise avers that he was-offered
a bout in. Milwaukee against
Charlie White, which he declined on
the ground that he didn't care to re
main in the Bast, Or Middle West for
that matter, during the hot spell.
Game Dead fu East.
What he would much prefer to do
would be to remain in California for the
Summer months and strike for the East
again in the Fall. The Californian rea
sons that he still has money-making
ability In the ring, s.nd that he would
be foolish to overlook what chances
come to him. It is an open secret that
the hot weather goes against Ritchie's
prain. He has a chance to go hunting
this Summer in the Northern California
. mountains, and. what is more, he's more
than a little noinesick for California.
Ritchie corroborates Bddie McGoorty
the Wisconsin middleweight, who re
cently declared that the Eastern box
ing game has gone to the demnition
bowwows. While Willie doesn't pretend
to analyze the situation closely .he
rather agrees with other of the scrap
pers that decisionless bouts, with the
subsequent stalling tactics of so many
of the stars, has tended to hurt the at
tendance. Indeed, the Californian is
rather gloomy as to the future pros
pects of fistiana and hazards the opin
ion that unless arrangements are made
for more of the regular 20-round
matches the game will die of itself
And he is just about right on 'that

GORDON AND HOWE
READY FOR FIGHT
Each Appears Fit and Says
He Is Confident He Will
Be Victor Tuesday.
BOUT TO BE SIX ROUNDS
TrnmBitas Lack of Condition Is
Said to Be Reason for Ills
Poor Showing Against
' Parslow at Astoria.
Able Gordon and Jimmie Howe are
fit and ready for their championship
encounter at the Imperial Club Tues
day night. Both boys have worked
hard to get into condition for the bat
tle, and each means to go after the
bacon from the first gong.
At their last meeting- Gordon won
after four rounds of nip-and-tuck bat
tling. Gordon won on points by his
ability to deliver a punch and get away
before the Walla Walla boxer could cut
loose one of his stiff labs. This time
the bout will be of six rounds' duration,
with shorter periods. Howe likes the
six-round idea, and says, instead of
waiting for Gordon, as he. did before,
he will tear after him from the start.
Howe Is Confident.
"I don't think Abie will be able to
give me much punishment in two min
utes, even if he is faster than, I am,"
said Howe yesterday. "I intend going
right after him every minute of, the
scrap, and he can't punish me in two
minutes. I feel that in six rounds I
ought to be able to slip over enough
good stiff wallops to' win the deci
sion. I have hopes of winning it by
the k. o. route."
"Doa'i let that bird give you any
bum steers," said Newsboy Gordon,
speaking of his opponent. "I am the
one that is going to win on Tuesday
night, just the same as I did at our last
meeting. Jimmie Howe has Just about
finished his stay in Portland if he is
sticking around here until he puts the
damper on me. I'll just show Jimmie
how fast I can be when we meet at
the Imperial Club.
Gordon Sure of Victory.
"Howe is saying that he considers
he has a better chance in a six-round
go. I think he hasn't got as good a
chance as he had last time. With the
two-minute rules he won't even get
started, while I will have it all over
him at the end of every round. He Is
depending oh one or two punches to
win for him in this'fight. Well, I will
admit that he has got some kick in his
mitts, but I don't think he will put one
over this time. They say that Jimmie
has improved considerably of late. I
am glad to hear it. He will have to
improve even more if he expects to win
the 105-pound championship of the Pa
cific Coast from me."
Matchmaker Charlie Jost, who is
making up the card, returned yester
day to Portland from Astoria where
he went with Valley Trambitas to sec
ond him in his go against Frank Pars
low. .
Trambitas Fairly Beaten.
"No alibis are in order," said Charlie,
"but it is only fair to botfi boys to
say Trambitas was outpointed by Pars
low because he was not in condition.
He is a fast, growing youngster and
takes a good deal of training to get
into shape. On the other hand Pars
low, who is a man and fully developed,
was in the best of condition. Trambi
tas experienced difficulty in going
the 10 rounds as it was his first trip
over the longer distance."
According to word from Astoria it
is likely that the two boys will be
rematched for a bout in that city at a
later date. By losing the bout Friday
Trambitas was not put out of the
running for state championship as the
setto in Astoria was a. no-decision af
fair Trambitas has a draw with Pars
low and hence the battling taxicab
driver -can not lay claim to the title
until he holds a decision over the awk
ward but hard-hitting newsboy.
Swain and Nolan to Box.
Leo Cross, who also holds a draw
with Parslow, has left the city and it
does not appear likely that he will
again meet Parslow in the near fu
ture. Another welterweight lias
stepped into his place, however. Joe
Swain, the hard-hitting scrapper who
has met some of the best boxers in
the Northwest is anxious to hook up
with Parslow. He is now in Portland
with his manager. Eddie Conners, and
is willing tt- go on at one of the local
shows in order to get before the pub
lic here. He prefers Parslow over any
other welter or middleweight- He
says he will make the welterweight
limit, 155 pounds, for the taxicab pilot
any time he is ready to step into the
Jost has matched Swain
with Jerry Nolan for one of the bouts
on his card. Although Nolan is a
heavyweight and will have almost 20
pounds the better of him Swain says
lie. does not mind. Nolan will be re
membered s the chunky heavy that
fought Farmer Burns, the Astoria
bricklayer, here on two occasions when
the Imperial Club was holding its
shows in the hall at Second, and Oak
streets.
Brown and Syverson lo Meet.
Another bout has also been lined
up for the Tuesday show at the Im
perial Club. This will be between
Bill Brown and "Carman" Syverson.
They met at the last smoker and the
conductor was not satisfied and neither
was a goodly portion of the fans with
the decision given for Brown. Bill Is
willing for a return go and says he
feels certain that he will have no
trouble in securing a clean-cut vic
tory over the carman.
The boys will work out for the last
time tomorrow afternoon in the club
rooms at 45 Union avenue. Many box
ing enthusiasts have been daily visi
tors at the club during the boys'
workouts.

BOXERS ON JAUNT
Kearns Takes Watson and
Murray to Antipodes.
WOLGAST PHYSICAL WRECK
Ad Still Fitting for What Coin
There Is in It; Wrestling Is
Supplanting King Game in
San Francisco Circles.
BY HARRY B. SMITH.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 19. (Spe
cial.) Jack Kearns, manager of Red
Watson and Fighting Billy Murray.
California middleweights. left las week
for Australia, accompanied by his two
scrappers and- several volunteers he
picked up. Kearns says there is noth
ing in the Eastern boxing game during
the Summer months. Red Watson made
quite a hit around Milwaukee points
while ho was fighting and can get
some engagements upon his return.
Of course, the boys will make no big
money in the Antipodes while the war
is in progress, but they will keep go
ing, and that's the main thing with
Jack and his stable these days. It helps
to keep the boys on edge and Kearns
realizes 'the necessity of that.
Ad Wolgast, so they tell me. is a
physical wreck. Several San Fran
cisco men who saw his bout with Leach
Cross, say the New .Yorker tossed Ad
pretty much around the ring as he
pleased, and that the " Dutchman
showed little else than gameness. Wol
gast was always a game scrapper, but
he never avoided punishment, and the
chaps who take a lot of beating usual
ly fade away in short order. In the case
of the Michigan Wildcat, there was no
necessity to go along and take 'a lot
of beating as he has saved his share
of the coin. He always was of a thrifty
disposition, .which probably accounts
for his remaining in the ring.
Wrestling matches are breaklngMnto
San Francisco for the first time in
many a year. There is an old adage
that' where fights are permitted
wrestling is no attraction. This has
been true in the Golden West. How
ever, there seems to be a change com
ing. The four-round amateur club,
with emphasis on the word amateur,
have found the picking slim. The
scraps have not attracted the attention
the matchmakers desire, and they are
throwing in a couple of wrestling bouts
each Friday night to round out the
show. Even so, it appears to be a hope
less task. The idea, of course, is as
plain as the nose on your face.4
These selfsame matchmakers realize
there Is no future for their four-round
fights. They think, on the other hand,
it is possible to bring about a revival
of interest 'in wrestling and that is
what they tre trying for. Perhaps
their scheme will work out and pos
sibly not. Just at present, San Fran
cisco people do not seem to show much
Interest in that branch of . the sport
ing world.
.
Doc Gene Jeffery, who acted as
Ritchie's manager while in the East,
but who returned ahead of the scrap
per, met the evangelist, Billy Sundav.
while he was on the train. Sunday got
into conversation with the manager
ana asicea several questions.
"Is he a fighter or a boxer?" asked
Sunday.
Jeffery explained that while Ritchie
started out to be a boxer, he turned
into a fighter Just before he won his
title.
"That's the kind of a boy I like,'.'
exclaimed Billy. "I don't care for the
boxer type. 1 always selected Stanley
Ketchel and Ad Wolgast as my favo
rites, for . they have been fighters.
They would fight in the ring like I
fight sin."
Which remark is proof that Sunday
has a lot of red blood in -his veins.
PATTERSON" LEADS WICHITA
Ex-Venice Kirstsacker Succeeds
Wares as Manager.
Ham Patterson, former Venice flrst
sacker, has succeeded Clyde Wares,
former Oakland shortstop, as manager
of the Wichita Western League club.
According to reports Wares was pop
ular with the Wichita fans, but failed
in his efforts to give the town a win
ning team. He was turned back to the
St. Louis Browns, to whom he went
from the Oakland club.
Chappy Charles, former Seal infielder,
and Franz Hosp, another well-known
former Coast Leaguer, were signed by
Wares while he was manager and they
will be retained. The Wichita club has
jumped from the cellar to fifth place
since Patterson has been at the helm.
In the past it has been a repeater for
tail-end honors and the National pas
time was dying a slow death in that
city, but is reported reviving since the
team began its spurt.
