As to my condition, I was never bet

(Lightweight Champion. )
I know I can fight and I know I can
win. I Bin not worrying at nil about
Welsh's 22 consecutive victories in the
past 1 ! months. If any of my good
but mistaken friends on this side are
betting on the form I showed three
years ago when Welsh won a decision
over me in I.os Angeles, or even when
I won the lightweight championship
from Ad Wolgust on n foul, I would
ndvise them to win. off the slnte and
make a new book before it is too lute.
1 was a mere kid when I met Welsh
a raw, rank novlco and I was scared.
Vou know it was only my second pro
fessional engagement and I took it mi
at almost a moment's notice, without
training, as a substitute for Wolgust,
who had been taken down with appen
dicitis the day before the mntcii. I
traveled nil night and arrived just in
time for the fight.
I knew how clever Welsh was and
knew that he was trained to the min
ute. Wolgnst 's slines looked awfully
big to me lunl 1 reckon t li lit mentally
I was beaten before I entered the rinii.
But 1 determined to do my best and
if he diil earn the decision it was by
n pretty close margin. If he made me
flounder I did the same to him. I

Loudon, July 7. Willie liitchie, light

defend his title at the Olympiu here
tonight against Freddie Welsh, light
weight champion of Kngland. lloth
fighters are reported fit as tho grind
of training can make them and boxing
enthusinsts looked forward to tho
greatest lightweight battle Kngland
has seen in a decade.
liitchie and the challenger weighed
in this afternoon. The champion tipped
(he beam at 134 while Welsh was half
a pound heavier. Willie was smiling
and nt ease while Welsh seemed to be
extremely nervous. The challenger's
hand shook as they exchanged greet
ings. All indications this afternoon pointed
to WoJsh entering the ring a pro
nounced favorite. Severul thousand
miners from Month Wales arrived in the
city early today and immediately
stinted betting their money on UVIsh.
As a result the odus shifted from even
money to 10 to H with Welsh on the
long end,
Welsh spout the night lit Cardiff.
He oriived at 1'uddington this after
noon, going at once to the Olvmpia,
where the two lightweights weighed
in. Uitchie spent the night in a private
residence near the arena.

I'roiuoter C H. Cochrane predicted
that a 100,000 house would greet the
men when Referee Kugeiip Corri send
them on their 20 roun 1 journey. Of
the uudience he predicted that n't least
ten percent would be women. lie de

tickets for tonight's performance of

been purchased by women. He doesn't
know, however, how many of these
were designed as piesents'for brothers,
sweethearts or husbands, but he felt
sale in estimating that at least 13
per cent of the audience will be women.
One woman's club reseived a block of
seats and a number of the private
boxes will b, occupied by women.
Among the men spectators will be

Sporting opinion in Kngland natural

mented on the battle as follows:
oisn ought to be able to win, aud
he clearly thinks that he will, but don't
run away with any idea that Ritheie is
a cheap proposition.
Eugene Corri tho Before.
i "We have had a few hard -nr.f
about the champion, and it is equally
certain that American sporting writers
have had much harder things to sav.
Hut the fact remains that Willie is 'a
good boxer, with a r..i ii,
j . ..... umiu
punch. It is true that he only won,
from Wolgast.on a foul and that he
I was actually lying on tho boards when1
I the title was handed to him; but it is!
equally certain that he had the better
of a subsequent 10 round no-decision
contest in Milwaukee."
In his eagerness to make the match
with Kitchie, Welsh surrendered every j
disputed point and permitted the;
American to walk away with a guar-'
antee of $25,000 win, lose or draw. In'
fact, tho financial arrangements are'
such that Welsh won't know until after!
tho fight is over whether he is to get;
ttuyiuiug.
The two fiuhtors weighed in at 2
o'clock this afternoon. Uitchie said he!
would eat a big dinner and figured on
entering tho ring weighing about 139.
The chamoion arrived in London vp.
terdny and spent the evening at a music
hall. He appeared happy and confident 1
ami in magnificent shape.
Welsh arrived from Pontypridd at;
noon, no was nigniy nervous but said
he was certain of victory.
Eugene Corri, the famous referee of
the National sporting club, will bo the
third man in the ring. The contest,
which is for 20 rounds, (jueensbury
rules, was scheduled to start at 10 p.
m., or 2 p. m. Pacific Coast time.
WHAT WELSH SATS OF IT,
Rube Benton

By Freddie Welsh
(Lightweight Champion of the British
Empire.)
I think the lightweight title will
change hands tonight". My hope of vic
tory is not based on tho fact that I
once bent Ritchie, although that has
something to do with it. I was far
from feeling my best then, for, as can
readilv bo nmiroc.inted. tho
ment over Wolgast 's failure to meet
me upser me nna roljhed me-of my gin-
Uitchie hns come on n lot since then.
I know that because I saw him box
in New York with Leach Cross. He
mis u real mutch in his riirht hn,,,l
he Is game. His fight with Charlie
vtuuo in .Milwaukee proved that. As
for myself, I haven't gope back any.
Perhaps I may be a trifle slower thun
I was some years ngo, but I have gain
ed in generul ring experience .and
punching power. These are tho real
reasons I think I can manngo Willie
tonight.
I nm not as n rule superstitious, but
there are three omens in connection
with this contest thnt at least serve
to make me feel comfortable. Mv first
backer and first trainer are to' be nt
the rinirsiile. I liml MiItn Unit li.ie nt
them, for years and didn't know until
two weeks niro that Minv m ., i,
here. Then the day ntter my arrival
from New York I received a cable from
my wife iiiinouiicing the first appear

ers who have fought Johnson, he felt
his own helplessness early in the fight
and realized that he was outclassed,
and from that timo on he just 'stuck
it out.' Mornn deserves credit for his
giimeness under punishment. But that
sort of gnmeness, without aggressive

! thusinsts here were jubilant today over
the trade consummated yesterday by
which Shortstop Al Cook ami Pitcher
j Hill Mnlarkey go to Sacramento in ex
jehamre for "Dutch" Klamitter.
j "I feel confident." said Jnck Cook,
I secretary of the Oakland club, todar,
"that the trade will bolster up the
I Oaks' lineup,"
I While Cook and Malarkey were fac
tors in tho winning of the pennant by
Oakland in 1912, both have been going
poorly this year. Cook 's fielding has
been up to the standard, but he has
fallen off -woefully with the bat. ITis,
landing with the willow is barely over
the 200 mark. Malarkey 's work in the
box also has been ineffective. Out of
14 starts, he has won four games and
lost 10. Klawitter.has a fairly good
record this season, having wou 10 games
and lost 13.
