COLUMN > ‘Matty Baldwin, Best of Near Champions, Had Cdd and Un- successful Career in Ring. Coppright, 1918, by The Prem Publishing Os, (The New York Brening Wortd ATTY BALDWIN, the New Eng- land lightweight, who died * Tather suddenly from Spanish faftuenza on Wednesday, had an odd G4reer in the ring. He fought all the . tough men, champions included, and got little money for his work. He was Wemocked out only once, and then by Charley White. That was three years ago, when Baldwin was a mere shell of himself. He held three prospective hgmtweight champions practically even, Ad Woilgast, Willie ititchie and Freddy Welsh, only to see them become the title-holders very soon afterwards. ‘As @ near champion, Matty was in @class by himself. He always had the Indian sign on Tommy Murphy, even when “Harlem Tommy” was at the height of his career, and Leach n¢ matter what he had done pre was always peaches and cream for the little Charlestown boxer, Matty could £0 into the ring with Leach, out of condition, and floor him right off the teel. He did this twice in New York, when Leach and all his friends looked on Baldwin as a soft mark. T was Matty Baldwin who first brought Freddy Welsh into promi- nence asa fighter. Away back In 1906, Johnny Mack brought Baldwin { down from Boston—we think it was oh a New Year's Day—to go over to Philadelphia to fight a dub named Freddy Welsh. Freddy was practi- cally unknown then, He had fought a few times before that in !hiladel- | phia rings, but Mack and Baldwin gave him scant consideration. Matty cams back from this excursion trip very much enlightened as to the ability of the “dub” Welsh. Ireddy beat Matty beyond a doubt, although the bout last- ed the six rounds, Thereafter Welsh got many a match on the strength of| his showing with Baldwin, and slowly | but surely afterwards reached the top of the lightweight cl Baldwin was always a real light- weight. He was at his best at 130 pounds. He was a sturdy combina- tion of boxer and fighter and was|¢, never beaten until the last bell. Men who fourht him said he became) stronger with each round, no matter how the punishment was dealt out 16 him. ATTY was more or less un-|T fortunate in being the trial/* horse for all the stars on their appearance here. For instance, he was stacked up against the clever | 4) and Jim Driscoll when the little Welsh- man made his debut here and while beaten was far from disgraced, Oth- ers who fought Driscoll later split big purses with him, but Matty got only a couple of hundred dollars. 1 was the same way against Owen Moran at the old Fairmont Club. There were only a handful of spec- taters on hand for the bout Matty apd Owen put up a slashing contest for little money. Moran pulled down of money in his next a Matty began to go back about three years ago and thon it was that he suffered his first K. O,, admin- istered by Chicago Charley White, In Baldwjn's prime White couldn't have knocked him out in forty rounds. No better nor more genuine fighter than Baidwin ever came out of New England, AYRE the racegoers didn't pitch in and help our Pollco Department out in their Lih- erty Loan drive for $50,000,000, Just to the tune of $374,000, that’s ail.
