Hustled For a Living. Like many other men who have attained prominence with the horsehair mitts, Welsh was not born an heir to rlchea His parents were very respectable but of modest circumstances, and early in life Freddie assumed the burden of taking care of himself. Although a Welshman to the core, he has spent the greater part of his existence In America.

Built along the recognised standard of athletic lines it was quite natural that a considerable number of his youthful days were devoted to sport in one form and another. Freddies first ambition was to become a physical culture Instructor. Amateur boxing then was so dlstlnetlv popular that Vt elsh also decided to Include this In his repertoire, although he now admits that the only experience he had whon buddln as a boxing tutor was gleaned through the medium of stories on the game and statements of fighters. Welsh used to read every article dealing with the glove sport and, although he agrees he had to "bluff It out" at the start, he was fairly well cultured In attack and defense despite the fact that his knowledge was largely theory. Had Natural Ability.

Welsh liked boxing, however, and It did not take him long to master the practical side. He was shrewd and earnest and ambitious and soon was looked upon as remarkably quick on his and clever with the gloves. Amateur boxing tournaments were conducted reguiarlv, as Is still the custom in America, at the time Welsh was developing into a boxer and he entered one. Being an Instructor and receiving- monetary returns for his work barred Welah and bis application was denied by the American Amateur Athletic union. Welsh was classed as a professional, but while his ring ambitions soared high he declined, despite the wishes of his admirers, to take up the sport professionally.

He was firm in this determination until adversity overtook him In New York, and Welsh was born Into pugilism on the day that he starved in Gotham. Welsh fought against 'the Inclination to enter the ring and became a "sandwich'' man In New York. He carried the WHAT ABOUT CALGARY NOW?

champions. It also means that there is little doubt that the Calgary team could have defeated the Eaton's If such a game had been played. The Eaton's were In Winnipeg two weeks getting used to the Ice. practising with Winnipeg players and getting over the effects of their trip. They also had the advantage of watching the Victorias play the Calgary team and In that wajy learned the style, tricks and methods of the Vies.

The Calgary team, however, went on the Ice in the first game for the cup without knowing even the rink; absolutely Ignorant of the team It was up against and feeling some of the effects of the trip east.

An Embarrassing Moment. When Welsh was selected as a preliminary man and asked his name, he spent one of the most emharassing seconds In his career. Few are aware that Welsh has been fighting under an assumed name.

When he was christened In Pontypridd, Wales, Thomas was the name entered upon the records and Fred Thomas he remained until a gruff New York light manager asked him what he called himself. Welsh was too ashamed to give his own name so he stammered "Cymru." meaning In the Welsh tongue. "Wales." The brusque matchmaker wouldn' near of such an aristocratic cognomen and blandly dubbed Mm WelBh, a name that has clung religiously to him since. When his star was rising and old countrymen and tolks from bis home town were told they had a coming lightweight of renown in Freddie had to confers they never heard of him. Welsh obtained his start in America.

He fought four preliminaries In New York and his total earnings in those bouts, which do not appear in the record would be covered by a S10 note. From New York journeyed to Philadelphia, again became a gymnasium boxing Instructor, and through the kindly offices of a wealthy pupil cMablished himself oil a firm looting. How he then carved a career for himself, starting in short, no-tccislon is history. Today Welsh Ik one of the beat drawing cards in the rirg and has earned a small fortune with gloves.

An empty stomach drove Freddie Welsh Into the ring. Had tt not been for gnawing hunger the glove game would never have known of the redoubtable little Welshman, and lightweight champion Ad Wolgast might not now be worried by such a persistent challenger for the title. There have been times Innumerable when husky young fellows have been literally booted over the ropes through a chain of freak circumstances, but it Is seldom that seared "tin-eared" beauties took up I'Bhting because they were actually starving. That was the case of rredle Welsh, however.

Lethbrldge In return was to hand over the franchise (which Is practically valueless If the manner in which their own magnates consider It counts for anything): fioo was to be given by the Lethbrldge elub and the use of the grounds for one year free of charge. Lethbrldge practically agreed to this offer, but stated that they would sooner have some person or persons handling the franchise there who had nothing to do with 8ny other franchise In the league. Mr.

Ravage then endeavored to find others who would accept the proposition, as he was Interested in the Calgary franchise, and succeeded In securing the syndicate which Is composed of Calgary people. Then Lethbrldge brings up another objection to Mr. Savage's proposition, they don'; want to turn over the franchise entirely, but to only ullow the syndicate to play ball there for one year. If Lethbrldge does not consider tts franchise worth supporting Itself, by putting Into the league an 1800 ball team and having It controlled and owned by the city, they surely cannot prize It very much, and should give it away whenever tho chance came. The following dispatch was received from Lethbrldge today: I.ETIIflRIPGE, March 10.

It Is safe to say that there will be nothing doing with LethbriUge and the Western Canada league, formed at Calgary a week ago lust Saturday. J. Held, when here last week, speaking for tho Calgary syndicate, said that the syndicate must own the franchise as well as receiving moral and financial support, or there would be notlv Ing doing. The following telegram was sent to Mr. Raid tonight, which explains the situation: "John Held, Calgary: At a meeting of the Lethbrldge Athletic club tonight.

It was decided that no support would be given to an outside franchise holder by this association." However, the local association will not oppose Reld or anyone else putting a team In here, but will not guarantee support to any "foreign" franchise holder. The franchise must remain In local hands. It is probable that Lethbrldge baseball men are through with the question, and will proceed to organise a league best suited to their Interests. If this Is definite and Leahbridge Is out of the league, that city should Inform the league at once and give that organisation a chnrue to place another team In another city.

REMARKABLE GOLF SHOT Pittsburg Player Showed Remarkable Nerve at Critical Moment During a period of fifteen years the writer has seen a number of remarkable golf shots, but the one that appears to be the most interesting was made by Eben 51. Byers, of Pittsburg, during the national amaieur championship at the Euclid club of Cleveland In 1907.

The little man from the Smoky city was defending the title he bad won the previous ear at Englewood, when he defeated George 8. Lyon, the Canadian champion, In the final. He had defeated Norman Macbeth In the first round and H. W. Fraser, of Toledo, In the second, which brought hlin against D.

E. frawyer, of Chicago, in the third. The latter player had defeated H. Chandler hgan, the former national champion, 2 and 1, In the first round, and Frits Martin, the Canadian southpaw, in the second. Sawyer won the first hole.

4 to G. Byers putting his second Into a hunker. The Chicago player took the second, 4 to 5. and when Byers rimmed a four foot putt on the short third, Hawyer won, 3 to 4, and was 3 up. At the fourth hole Sawyer was on the edge of the green In two, Byers taking one more to get a little nearer.

Sawyer made a poor third, and then Byers putted to within twelvo inches of the hole. Sawyer's fourth stopped to within a few inches of the hole, his opponent a dead stymie. Byers then took hlB mashle and es-3 ayed to jump into the cup. His ball hit Sawyer's on the hole side and ran into theicup, but the little "nip" set Saw-the cup, giving the Chlcagoan the hole, 4 yer's hall In motion and It also ran into to 5. and putting him four up.

This lend would have been enough to have discouraged a less nervy player than Byers. but he stuck gamely, and at the sixteenth hole got on even terms.

The feature of the game was when Goal Tender Baker stopped a shot and skated right down the Ice with the puck, passing every forward man on the Ice. He got past Hyland and passed to Dion who scored. He wns cheered for some minutes. As tho score shows, the visitors were outclassed, but there was not a man In Winnipeg who expected the score to end up anything like it did. All expected a close game.

The visitors rushed the play at the start, but only kept It up for about ten minutes. After that tt w-as easy sailing, and at half time the score was 4 to 1.

By a score of 9 to 3, Quebec boat Moncton in the first game for the Stanley cup at the Quebec rink last night, and thus put a serious crimp In tho aspirations of the players from the lower prov-Inces. The team from the Maritime provinces was expected to give the Stanley cup holders a hard ran, composed as It was of well known players from all parts of Canada. For about 15 minutes it made quite a hit and kept the loials on the Jump, but after Quebec had scored two goals in the first period and then made almost a dying effort In the second, hockey critics declared that the Big Four still had the choice of hockey experts, There were a large number of visitors from Moncton, Montreal and Sherbrooke to see the game, which was a hard fought game. It could hardly be styled classy hockey. The visitors started out to rush things and there was some rough and tumble do-Ings.

However, when the visitors found that Quebec was willing to play them at their own same, they somewhat subsided. C. P. R. WINNERS The C.
