Ritchie, who is so new to the gamt
that his name does not appear In the
1913 record books, should now be the
world’s lightweight champion. It is
also remarkable how the lifelines of
Ritchie and Wolgast have crossed and
re-crossed.
Ritchie secured his first boost up the
ladder of fame when, at a few hours
notice, he went to Los Angeles last
Thanksgiving and acted as understudy
for Wolgast in a bout with Freddie
Welsh. That was when Wolgast was

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—With an entry
list of fifteen teams and a track con-
siderably improved in its construction,
this year’s international six-day bi-
cycle race starting at midnight in Mad-
Ison Square Garden gave promise of
being productive of faster and more in-
teresting riding than any of its prede-
cessors.
The new track. which measures ten
laps to the mile, was built for inareased
speed, being banked at a sharper angle
at the turns, with broader approaehes
to the two stretehes, both of which
are shorter than heretofore.
To avoided unnecessary delays in
changing partners and “loafing" under
the pretext of unavoidable accidentn.

In response to the demand for a rat-

National League during the past sea-

actual number of runs for which each
pitcher was responsible—that is. runs
earned off the pitching solely. In com-
puting such record, the pitcher was
charged with runs that resulted from

just caused something of a sensation
by refusing to allo* speeches to be
made In English and French at a big
Soclalist meeting in Berlin. M.Jaures,
the well known French Bocialint leader,
and the British Soofallst O’Grady were
scheduled to address the meeting, each
in his own language.
Jaures made hi* speech in bad Ger-
man, while O’Grady* speech was trans-
lated into German and read by another.
In rejecting the application of the
management to permit English vand
French to b* used, the police president
said: "I regard the purpose of Inter-
nationally Influencing Germans for-
eign policy as being contrary to the
interests of the Empire. I therefore
decline to recognise the exception to

blood crept down over Ritchie's lip*
Wolgast sneered, "what’s the use of

it is said that all is fair in love, and
• nd politics and no doubt Wolgast felt
that he was perfectly enttled to adopt
any method of coarse badinage that
improved his chancue of winning. But
when Rilchle received the signal from
his corner to tear loose again and when
after pulling even with Wolgast in the
tenth round he kept right along and
beat Wolgast to the floor in the six-

After the fight it was still a case
of Arrogant Ad. and Wistful Willie.
Wolgast in a signed statement to the
press said that Ritchie was not by any
means the fighter his friends consid-
ered him and that a return match
would show that Ad Wolgast was still

championship laurels.
How long a tenure of the cham-
pionship title is in store for Ritehie re-
mains to be seen, but one thing is cer
tain; the title is in good hands. No
better gentleman then Ritchie exists
In any walk of life He is courteous
and intelligent at any time and has
none of the earmarks of lb* genus PU8
From the first tinae he hod seen
Wolgast box he had been possessed
with the idea he could beat the Michi-
brain wm cloudy end he could not see
Where he was hitting. Few will argue
that Wolgast was not a beaten man
at the time, anyhow, so that by foul
or by fair the title went where it be-
longed."
It is very evident there would heve
been more sympathy for Wolgast if hs
had not dieplayed such bad ring man-
ners during the fight. He contrasted
so unfavorably with the other lad that
one of the ringside witnesses christen-
ed the pair "Arrogant Ad.“ and "Wist-
ful Willie" ,
Ritchie told afterwards that Wol,
gast called him vulgar names and used
indecent language in every round. Rut
the abuse was confined to hoarse
whispers and the crowd heard It not.
Wolgast began to "talk for publics
tion'i In the resting spell between the
sixth and seventh round. It was in the
sixth round that Ritchie began to hold
himself in reserve In accordance with
instructions from his manager, and
Wolgast. In common with many others,
thought that Ritchie's condition was
"‘XWteH me thi. next round" yelled
Wolgast to the seconds who were
sprinkling, sponging and towelling
him "I’ll jab him to pieces."
Wolgast talked so that he could be
heard half way to the mein doors end
it was believed he intended his re-
marks to be far-reaching.
e was ably supported by Manager
Tom Jones, who stood behind his chair
Jones clapped his hands together like
. a race track layer of odds who is try-
ing to stimulate business and shouted
loudly : "Come. coms, finish him up and
let us get out of this."
Wolgast managed lo land on
Ritchie’s nose with an overhand punch
