10 TIJE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1913, RITCHIE DEFEATS MEXICAN IN 11TH loe Rivers Puts Up Great Fight but Champion Too Much for Him. VICTOR SMILES SUCCESS Cefore 700O Spectators, a Gallery Valued at $30,000, Lightweight Title Holder Retains Honors In Clever Ring Battle. ' SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. A wicked jlght cross the same blow which forced Ad Wolgast to foul away the lightweight championship proved too great a stumbling' block for Joe Rivers in his attempt to wrest the light weight title from Champion "Willie Ritchie today. The Mexican was knocked out In the eleventh round of a scheduled 20-round battle. Immediately preceding the knockout, Ritchie toppled his victim over for the count ot nine with a right to the jaw. Another right to the chin, preceded by a left to the stomach, settled River's chances as a lightweight contender. Rivera Looks Winner. Twice during the earlier rounds It looked as If Rivers might win. Ritchie's wonderful ring generalship and ability to Btrike effectively straight from the shoulder with either hand, however, offset the Mexican's tremendous swings, which frequently found their mark. After the fifth Rivers swung wildly. At the start,' .both men, on their mettle, were eager to mix at close range. xThe first round left no choice, but in the second, third and fourth rounds the Mexican punished the cham pion severely with swinging blows to the face and body, several of which staggered Ritchie and caused an omin ous feeling in his corner. The San Franciscan rallied, however. In the fifth and thereafter displayed championship form.. He met the South, erner's ill-timed rushes with snappy left and right smashes to the face which cut deep, and easily took care of the wild rushes and swings, which missed him by many inches. Champion's Smile There. The champion beamed -with confi dence as the fight progressed. In the seventh he opened up a gash over Rivers' left eye, and in the following round cut his face severely. A left uppercut to the chin in the tenth lit erally lifted Rivers from the floor. The eleventh and final round had scarcely opened when Ritchie's right ehot out, catching Rivers squarely on the point of the chin. He went down as if struck by a hammer. Nine sec onds were tolled off before he gained his feet. The champion's left sank into the Mexican's stomach, a right upper cut reached the falling pugilist's jaw, and the fight was over. The battle was fought under perfect Weather conditions in the open, and was witnessed by approximately 7000 persons. The receipts, it was stated, aggregated $30,000. The fight by rounds: Round One. - At 2:29 the fighters got Into action, going close together. After some In effectual exchanges, Ritchie, meeting the Mexican's rushes, put in a right uppercut to the Jaw and soon after whipped right and left to the Jaw In quick succession.

Ritchie staggered his man with right cross to the Jaw as the bell rang, but Rivers had the ad vantage of the round, which was fierce ly contested. Round Three. The fighters started the third round at a fast clip, Ritchie driving a force ful left to the Jaw. The Mexican went In close and staggered the champion with two rights to the body and a left to the Jaw. Rivers gave his man little time to set, wading in and flinging right and left to the Jaw and body. So preat was his onslaught that? again he fell to the mat from its force. It was Rivers' round and Ritchie seemed wor ried as he took his seat. Round Four. Rivers, '.covering up, closed in and at- tacked the champion's stomach. Ritchie, however, was wary and Baved himself many times, but Rivers finally pene trated his opponent's guard, hooking thrice with lefts to the body.

Three Knockdowns by Kew Yorker More Than Offsets Hard Blows by Kansas City Boy. ALBUQUERQUE, N. M.. July .4. Johnnie Dundee, of Neir York, got the decision over Tommy Dixon, of Kansas City, at the end of a ten-round fight here today. Three knockdowns were scored by Dundee. Dixon met Dundee's rushes with solid right and left hooks to the Jaw and a terrific right uppercut to the stomach, and at times had the New Yorker worried, but Dundee scored a big lead on points by three knockdowns during the contest, none of which, how ever, forced Dixon to take the count, he being up each time Quickly. Dundee's speed at times was dazzling, while his judgment of distance was well nigh perfect. Dixon, though he did not land as many keen blows, seemed to possess the hardest punch and in the exchanges more than held his own.

SAN FRANCISCO AND VERNON JULY 4 ' RITCHIE PROVES HE IS REAL CHAMPION Doubts as to Ability Vanish in Brilliant Victory Over Rivers.. JOE GANS' METHODS USED Mexican Ixses Chance in Fourth by Failing to Follow Advantage. San: Francisco Boy Displays Wonderful Bead Work. ' BY HARRY B. SMITH. SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. (Special.) Willie Ritchie today established him self beyond. any question as the world's lightweight champion. There may have been doubts yesterday as to the real worth of the San Franciscan, but they were hushed when Ritchie, havinsr solved the puzzling attack of Joe Riv ers after four uphill rounds, assumed the lead In the fifth, outboxed and out generaled his opponent after the style of Joe Gans, and finally, In the 11th round, dropped the Southerner with a hard right cross and when the Mexican stood on his feet, sent in a left hook to the body that sent Rivers down fori v. i . t. The round was not more than well underway when the local lad registered his sensational victory and demonstrat ed to the satisfaction of 'the packed house that he knows how to box and that he is a punlsber as well. Finish Is Xasntnlna; Fait. The champion started the round with short right jolts to the body and Riv ers backed away from him. A left to the head was followed by a feint with the left to the 'body. The inexperienced Southerner dropped his guard and quick as a flash Ritchie, who had been reserv ing all his strength, sent across' the right. It connected to the Jaw and Riv ers dropped on the instant. He took the full count, but as he staggered to his feet, still dazed, Ritchie, who had been held back by Referee Graney, sent in la left hook to the body and this time Rivers was flat on his face, unable to do more than lift his head. When the count was finished Graney upheld Ritchie's hand in token of victory and Rivers' seconds carried him to his cor ner. That both punches were hard blows was evidenced by the blank look on Rivers' face. He stared with unseeing eyes at the curious crowd that surged around him and even when Ritchie came across the ring to shake hands wtlh him there was little life on the part of the Los Angeles boy. Rivera Forces Fight at Start. The match was by no means an un even atfair, even though in the closing rounds the San Francisco boy was do ing all the leading. It looked bad for Ritchie at the outset, as Rivers crowded him and he looked wprried and tired. Rivers was forcing the battle and land ing left hooks which Ritchie seemed un able to avoid. In the third round the champion was badly jolted and looked faiighty tired, all the result of a hard left hook that Rivers landed as the pair were coming out of one of their clinches. It set Ritchie on the defen sive immediately and caused ringside betting that had favored the local man at 10 to 6 to switch suddenly with Riv ers the choice at 2 to 1. And right there was where Joe Riv ers lost any possible chance of winning the fight. He might, by crowding rutcnie, nave nurt tne san Franciscan. As it was, he contented himself with a good lead for the round. Ritchie Regains Confidence. The fifth round gave Ritchie the con fidence that he needed. His blows be fore seemed to have little force and there was a tired look on his face. The in the fifth he took command of the situation, did the forcing and landed lshort jolts that must have been e- fective. Rivers lost his aggressiveness and with a cut over the left eye and his mouth spilt, didn't appear anxious to mix things. From that time on It was Ritchie's fight and he showed much of old Joe Gans' cleverness in meeting the Mexi can's rushes. Rivers will never be a champion, as he showed mental slow ness and lack of bulldog pluck when the fight went against him. Ritchie proved he was a champion by his heady fight against a dangerously awkward man and his cleverness In stopping his rushes. BtTD'S PARENTS STILL HOPEFUL Mother of "Vancouver's Pridert Thinks Boy Will Be Champion. VANCOUVER. Wash., July 4. (Spe cial.) When news was flashed to Van couver, Bud Anderson's home town, that Leach Cross had knocked the local boy out in the 12th round, thousands of his admirers who had gathered at various places to hear the returns shook their heads and said "something must be wrong." There was no demonstration. Mrs. Charles Anderson, Bud's mother, and Charles, his father, are of the opin ion that "something was slipped over" on Bud at the last minute. He had written to them regularly, and only yesterday they had received a letter saying he was In the best of condition and expected to win. "I'll bet if they fight again Buddie will win in five or six rounds," said Mrs. Anderson tonight. The family has sent a telegram to Bud, but no answer has been received. "But no champion ever got to the top without "meeting some defeats," philosophized Mrs. Anderson, "and Bud will yet be champion. He never will give up."

There is no Joy In Medford for Bud Anderson has been knocked out. Med ford fight fans had never before been so confident of victory as in tnis 20-round fight with Leach Cross. Those who did not go to Los Angeles put their last penny on Bud's winning, some taking the short end of 2 to 1. Many wagers were placed at even money that Bud would score a knock out in 10 rounds. Immense crowds gathered on Main street to listen to the Teturns and when Bud went down in the first round, heartfelt groans were audible on all sides. One well-known sport wept without shame when the final returns came in. It is safe to say that Medford fans are $2500 poorer as odds were given on all sides. It is reported that one rancher lost his entire fruit crop on the result. The only man who won is Frankie Ed wards, fight promoter, who matched Bud in this city and predicted his de feat at the hands of Man-dot. Edwards picked up all the good money he could find at big odds and made a cleanup. In spite of disappointment Medford fans are preparing to give Bud a hearty welcome when he returns. It Is the general opinion here that over- confidence is the cause of his defeat and that he still has a chance to get back among the top notchers. NATIONAL- LEAGUE. New York 5-9, Brooklyn 2-5.
