Chang Welch

Chang Welch

Charles "Chang" Welch was an American Footballer, and the brother of well-known boxing manager Suey Welch. He managed Hank Hankinson and Charley (Killer) Coates, who were his brother's fighters, while Suey was involved in promoting and matchmaking at the Olympic Auditorium. He purportedly got his name of Chang, while catching rides on a Chinese laundryman's truck as a kid with his brothers. For a few years, Chang played alongside his brothers Suey and Howe for the Akron Indians of the "Ohio League" from around 1916 until 1918. The Indians were re-established in 1916 and temporarily called the Akron Burkhardts, after a local brewer. The team was reportedly built around the brothers.
