SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25. -
Among ills intimates, Freddie Welsh
lightweight champion of the world, i:
quite as famous for his absolute unap
predation of time values as he Is t(
the public at large for his rim
prowess.
During his training period for th>
recent twenty round iituiar bout win
Charlie White, the manager of th<
fashionable hotel at Colorado Spring:
invited Welsh to appear in the ha I
room of the hotel to spar for the wo
men guests of the hostelry, who hat
Indicated that they would appreciat
seeing the champion going through hi
vaiious bag l unching and boxini
stunts.
Three hundred women, represents
the smart set of practically every hi
city in the country, who were visitor
at the Springs, were seated about th
impromptu ring. Time went hv an
the champion did not appear. Th
manager of the hotel became nervous
and telephone calls were sent withou
success. A half hour passed. N
Welsh. Then scouts were sent ou
The audience had been waiting a
hour.
Finally one of the scouts ran acros
the champion. We was wandering i
a leisurely way along utie of th
shaded streets of the city. In hi
arms lie carried Betty, his two and
half year old daughter, and he wa
amusing tier by stopping at the sho1
windows of the stores along the wa;
"Good heavens, Freddie," gasped tl
scout, "there's three hundred womt
been waiting over an hour for you I
show up.”
“Oh, am I late?” unconcerned
asked Freddie. "I've juBt finish!
giving Betty her hath."
Sydney A. Marvin, who general
Is credited with having much to (
in developing the tennis chsmploi
of California, attaches great impoi
ance on handicap tournaments f
bringing championship material
light. Youngsters who are learnlt
the game are encouraged to ent
tournaments against better playe
when they figure that they have
chance of winning.
Marvin stimulated play by organiz
ing boys' tennis clubs with the handi
cap tournament as one of its funda
mentals. By this not only was the j
poorer players constantly on edge to j
overcome the handicap and did not |
permit of his loafing.
The first of these clubs was organ
ized in 190S, and among the members
was Maurice McLoughlin, the former
national champion, considered by
, many to have been the most spectacu
lar player that ever stepped on a
, court, and for which reason he was
dubbed “The Comet.” In speaking of
this club, Mr. Marvin says:
, "From the beginning the boys have j
J taken an active part in the control :
, and have made success certain. I !
, I have merely played the part of man }
I ager. The president and secretary
and other officers have invariably be- •
' l t
I ' come personages varying in years
, ! from 12 to 17. Sometimes, blit not
. ! often, a veteran of 19 has held office. J
; | “The ooys have proved as efficient
: in the council chamber as they have
: on the courts, and some of the discus
sions are little less than the boiled
| dow n essence of tennis wisdom.
> ! "Undue elation over victory or de
i spair over defeat are cured In the
• heart to heart talks in our club room.
"Tournaments of all kinds, with
t emphasis on the handicap event, are
i stimulative to the ( rack plavers and
i
encuoruging to the beginner. They
i have been our staple food.
I "The boys learn more from con- |
s stantly dashing in keen, stern con- |
l tests than they possibly could from
? books or verbal instruction. McUough
s 1 in once told me that he never played
a a game without picking up useful ten
s nis knowledge, no matter how unskil
v ful his opponent might be. One does
r. not have to tell a boy of that kind
e much He is learning all the time."
n Followers of the game of roque have
o been discussing the form shown by
[ twelve year old Bernardin furrier in
y the Missouri valley championship
d roque tournament recently held in
t Kansas City, and his remarkable ex
j titbltlon has elicited much fuvorable
ly comment.
lo | furrier has the unusual distinction
is | of hnving made a score of 128 points
t- j in one of his games. Mis driving was
ar ^ considered the best ever seen on the
to | Kansas City court. He made two
ig | home runB, a feat seldom accom
»r ! plished even by veterans. Young Cur
rs Her defeated some of the beat players
a in the middle west, heading the sec
ond divisions. v ^
