Former Gamp Found Dead in Hotel in New York
Freddie Welsh former lightweight champion of the world was found dead in a west side hotel by a maid. The death was attributed to heart failure. Welsh had financial ruin, sold belts, and a tense relationship with Jack Dempsey. Born Fred Hall Thomas in 1886, he rose to fame in 1914 beating Willie Ritchie for the title and later lost to Benny Leonard in 1917. He served as a boxing instructor during the war and did hospital reconstruction work after. He was survived by his wife Mrs Brahna Welsh and two children Betty and Freddie Jr. The body will be cremated.
