Conrrigyt, 1917, Press Pubiishing Oo, ‘he Ree Vert tvecing Writ OHNNY KILBANBE, featherweight champion, didn't knock out Freddy Welsh last night. That's the only | thing he didn’t do to Freddy, Lack of | ® decision furnishes the eole excuse ‘Welsh has to-day for clinging to the Ughtweight title. Kilbane completely outboxed and outfought him in every one of the ten rounds—outfought him #0 far that the pawing, cuffing, cling- ing lightweight champion looked a sorry joke, The announced weignis were: Welsh 139 pounds, Kilbane 130 pounds, Kil- bane confided to me just before the bout began that he weighed in at 129| pounds. H id that he ate as much | 4s he could all through his training to et somewhere near Welsh’s weight. | carried no superfluous fat, how- Both looked well trained and The Manhattan A. C, was #0 packed with spectators that over an hour before the main bout went on only a few $10 and $15 seats were to be had, and then the guards at tho doors heid up ticket holders and allowed them in one at a tine to relieve the conges- tion in the aisles, At least a thou- sand who were unable to procure tickets stood outside in tho street listening to the sounds from inside and trying to guess how the battle was going. Kilbane was first in the ring. Welsh soon followed. The feathorweight champion’s face was one broad smile, But when’the bell rang he went right after Welsh in a businessitke way | that put the lightweight title holder on the defensive at once, Kilb: shook Welsh badly with a right- hander that slipped around his guard and landed somewhere along the side of his jaw. Immediately Welsh clinched and held, Kilbane began to laugh. He looked entirely confident. | He stood up straight and danced | around Welsh, who crouched and cov-| ered his head with close-folded for arms. Now and then Welsh dabbed| at Kijbane with his left hand, with half open glove, at the same instant throwing himself forward and reach. | ing for Kilbane’s waist with a claw-| ing right, It was tap and grab all the way with Welsh. Tap and grab—tap and grab. Apparently he haw forgot- ten the days whon he used to box. He hes @ system now that enables him to go through all these ten-round bouty without much risk. But Freddy still has one thing: he} By Bozeman Bulger. out of three will be called to the col- | delphia, while Berry 1s a resident of this city. aoe is hard to hit and hard op.
