ANGRY FANS PELT REFEREE ROCHE ! WITH CUSHIONS Was Wild West Ending When Welsh Is Declared Win ner of Battle. By Ed. W. Smith. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept 6. (L championship yesterday afternoon, all he had to do was to reach out and take It away from Freddie Welsh In the thirteenth round of their 20 round cattle. He didn't do it ana as ine con test sifted along that once-ln-a-llfe-tlme chance sifted away from Charley, con Drobably foremen In that nearly fatal thirteenth round 'Welsh, weak and tired, wobbly and all but on the verge of collapse, looked as If he might be knocked over and into the has-been class by any good strong featherweight. White, one of tne most powerful hitters In the di vision, If indeed he In not the great est puncher of them all, stood off and Cleared the Oobwebs. Welsh cleared the cobwebs out of his brain, chased all the owls away Aid took a couple of lungfulls of the thin mountain air. He never before was called upon lo so thoroug-hly muster very one of those wonderful re sources of his and do It quickly and effectively. The champion's master mind vferked like lightning. His knaen were lagging and tired, the gloves heavy s lead and he probably aclied terribly but there. was nothing the matter In the upper story. That's where the Welsh clans came to the rescue and where White's fail tire to instantly take advantage of a wonderful opportunity passed on down , the street after knocking vigorously at the front door. Before that i and after that Welsh. ra there with everything that goes to stamp a fighter the best man in his class. White fought hard bui Welsh was much too trickey and con siderably too fast for him. The fight had a regular wild west climax, in which'Referee Roche played a leading and dangerous role. When the tattle ended Roche was standing several feet away from the men, as White had been Jumping about In, an effort to get over a knockoui punch before the last bell. r When the gong clanged Welsh mlled blandly and rushed over to Itoohe. He grabbed Billy by the right paw and the official then held aloft the starboard glove of the boxer as a sign of victory. White took one long look of hatred at Roche and then Walked gloomily back to his corner. ' Cushion Rain Around Kef tree. Part of the crowd of the 6000 or more gathered to view the pugilistic spectacle and paid gome ' $30,000 for I that privilege, had purchased heavy . . . . . . i - cusnions to mane mere coiuturwuiv their seat on the pine benches of the arena. The second that Welsh's arm was raised on high and as Freddie Jumped between ths ropes and scam pered away to his dressing room, there started a cushion bombardment aimed at Roche and ths men to Welsh's cor ner. Cushions simply rained in and w h Hnr. and as many of ths hurlers did not have ths best control, j some of tne p&aoea seats ieu iar uiova the Welsh corner. Women as well as men were struck with ths flying and whirling missiles. Hats were smashed, people knocked 'down and there were a dozen fights not on the bill staged about the arena. Ths ring itself was a yard deep in cushions. . Pop Bottles Are Thrown, The fans were getting angrier every minute and those close enough were aiming their cushions ab Roche and Harjuy Follok. Roche had ducked over to the Welsh corner. There was a swirl of irate bugs about them and the situation was getting more threatening every minute. Borne of the cushions were connecting with Roche and Pollok, thie latter being staggered a couple of times. Just at the critical time the sheriff and a HunxK .ri,H nnA noliCS fOUKht their way to the spot. They rescued Roche and took him outside to a wait ing automobile. Then the bottle throwers got busy and several of them came close to beaninig Billy before they got their car under way. ALL SORTS OF IDEAS PREVAIL AFTER BOUT FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 6. (U. P.) Billy Roche, referee; "I sim ply decided the fight on points. Welsh landed the more blows, which consti tute points under the Marquis of Queensberry rules.- The men fought under those rules. If they don't want to fight that way, let them get some new rules. Anyone who will read the Marquis of Queensberry rules will see why I gave my decision sjs I did. White didn't fight. He had the chance of his lifetime and didn't take it Could I give him the championship? No. Could I give htm a draw V Charley Whites "I had to flgrht two men the referee and Welsh. To win from him you've got to knock him cold. Referee Billy Roche's decision was the rankest I have ever seen. Freddie Welsh will never lose the lightweight championship as long as he is allowed to name his own ref eree." "Robbery," Says Lewis. Nate Lewis. White's manager! "I think it is time for the press and publlo of America to demand that Freddie Welsh defend in a fair and square way. Billy Roche's decision in giving the fight to Welsh was the worst robbery ever perpetrated. I would like to have them give Charley White fair fight with the -champion by having the press and ths public name the referee from the twelve leading ring officials in America." Harry Pollok, Welsh's manager: "Welsh hit three blows to ; White's one. He led the fighting and three fourths of his leads landed. He was never pressed, forced White to stop with a stiff left when White showed his only spurt in ail the 10 rounds. Billy Roche's decision was all right." Freddie Welsh: "I fougtit simply and straigbtly to retain my title. I used every method I knew to pile up points and I had Charley White topped on that- score easily." ' "JTerer Again I" Bays ran. Mr. Average Fan sat oh the be calmed veranda of the Antlers hotel today, twirled his cans and declared: "Never again!" He and several thousand more fans. some here, some departed, were en deavoring today to resurrect the fight game from the quagmire Into which a great majority of the fight following population of this western section de clare it was plunged yesterday throvgh Referee Billy Roche's decis ion at the end of the 20-round light weight championship battle between Welsh and White. Roche gave the battle to Welsh "on points." It is unquestionably a matter to he argued. But the preponderance of ar gument Is in behalf of Charley White. Was Poor Exhibition. The universal opinion is that for a Championship affair yesterday's bat ile was a poor exhibition of fighting ability by either principal. It is gen erally agreed that Freddie Welsh is a punchless champion, but it is also agreed that White is a shameless con tender for the Welshman's title. Their fight yesterday was humorous at times in its tameness. With bean shooter blows Welsh tapped the Chi cagoan during the majority of the rounds. In four, possibly five of the late rounds. White showed some punchy battling. The question of which should count the most In giving the decision- score of taps or a quintet of punches was what was being asked today. Freddie i Welsh and his wife nd baby and Harry Pollok left for Den ver today. They will go to the Pa cific coast in a few days. The White party will return to Chicago by the end of the week.

How America's largest cigarette manufacturer has accomplished "the Impossible" by producing a MILD cigarette that SATISFIES. is the Chesterfield Cigarette :::::::: ALMOST anybody can make a X cup of coffee. But there are JL jjl. said to be not over a half-dozen restaurants in the United States where they know how to make it right. Similarly, almost anyone can make a cigarette. Just roll up some tobacco in a piece of pure paper and there you are. There are, perhaps, over 800 brands of cigarettes sold 4n this country to day. But not one of them does what Chesterfields do for Chesterfields are MILD; and yet they SATISFY. Some cigarettes may be mild, but they dont satisfy. Only one cigarette does BOTH Chesterfield! This truly unique cigarette has all of that refreshing taste - delicacy (or mildness) which any good cigarette must have. Yet, without sacrificing any of this delightful mildness, Ches terfields go one step further they do more than merely "please your taste" they let you know you've been smoking. They satisfy I And yet they're mild A Step Forbtfard ir Cigarette-MaKjng WE are proud to be the firm that has brought about this important, new development in cigarette enjoy ment for that is exactly -what the Chesterfield blendis. This cigarette is an outgrowth of long, earnest effort on the part of this, the largest cigarette manufacturing concern in the United States. The mild, yet satisfying Chester field blend is not the result of happy chance. It is one of the results of our many years of cigarette experience of the heavy volume of our purchases of cigarette tobacco of the pfestigc and advantage these enormous pur chases give us in securing the choicest leaf from the tobacco fields of the world. Chesterfields are an achievement. A JVetv Thing for a Cigarette to Do Chesterfields do the one thing you have always wished a cigarette would do they satisfy! , Smoke them and we believe you will find that ordinary cigarettes seem by comparison almost flat. Give Chesterfields (20 for 10 cents) a trial. We believe you will be glad to learn what they can teach you about cigarette enjoyment. You Have been reading Here some rather unusual, almost daring, state ments about a cigarette. If Chester fields were an untried cigarette if we had not been observing their behavior in other cities -if we did not KNOW that they make good with smokers, we could not afford to make these state ments to you over our signature. But these statements, strong as they are, can mean little or nothing to you until you have actually smoked your first Chesterfield You will 'find that your own dealei; has Chesterfields waiting for you. The Chesterfield Blend contains the snswt famous Turkish tobaccos SAMSOUN far ridweaa CA VALLA for arena; SMYRNA for sweetness, XANTHI for fragrance, cembiaed with the best demestic leaf.
